Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Single dose, crossover study design whereby each participant receives the test formulation of (2S)-2-[17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4, 5a-epoxy-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-6a, 14-ethano-14a-morphinan-7a-yl]-3, 3-dimethylbutan-2-ol (1 x 40 mcg/hr) on one occasion and the innovator formulation of (2S)-2-[17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4, 5a-epoxy-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-6a, 14-ethano-14a-morphinan-7a-yl]-3, 3-dimethylbutan-2-ol (1 x 40 mcg/hr) on one occasion with the inclusion of a naltrexone block given prior to patch application, at application, 12 hours after patch application, then once every 24 hours while the patch is in place to reduce side effects.

Each naltrexone dose will be a 50 mg oral tablet.

Each (2S)-2-[17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4, 5a-epoxy-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-6a, 14-ethano-14a-morphinan-7a-yl]-3, 3-dimethylbutan-2-ol dosing will be seperated by a two week washout period. The intervention for this trial is the test formulation of (2S)-2-[17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4, 5a-epoxy-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-6a, 14-ethano-14a-morphinan-7a-yl]-3, 3-dimethylbutan-2-ol .

No water is allowed for 1 hour prior to dosing until 1 hour after dosing (except for the water consumed with the dose).

Participants are required not to eat for 10 hours before receiving each dose and to fast for approximately 4 hours after receiving each dose. Bathroom visits will be supervised to ensure no unauthorised water or food intake and for personal safety. Participants will be confined at the Clinical Site for 12 hours prior to dosing to ensure compliance and will be monitored and for 24 hours after dosing.

Standard meals will be consumed at the Clinical Site with no additional food intake allowed. Alcohol breath testing will be performed upon each participant reporting to the Clinical Site 12 hours prior to dosing.

Pre and post study laboratory tests will be completed to assess the health of participants along with HIV, Hepatitis and drugs of abuse testing.

Each (2S)-2-[17-(cyclopropylmethyl)-4, 5a-epoxy-3-hydroxy-6-methoxy-6a, 14-ethano-14a-morphinan-7a-yl]-3, 3-dimethylbutan-2-ol patch will be applied to the upper arm. Investigators will examine every subject to ensure the patch has been applied correctly.

Each dose of naltrexone will be taken orally with 240 ml of water at ambient temperature. Medication must be swallowed whole and a mouth check will be conducted to ensure the medication has been taken as directed.

Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The subject ID will be used to randomise each participant onto the study. Allocation concealment will be completed by the pharmacy staff who are independent of subject recruitment and who are unaware of the identity of each subject.

All staff obtaining consent and confirming eligibility will remain blinded as to what formulation each subject ID has been allocated. Individual randomisation envelopes will be provided in case the identity of study drug administered to a participant needs to be known.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomization by computer
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
