About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The primary objective of the induction phase of the study is to compare treatment retention of participants following rapid induction or standard of care (SoC) induction onto extended-release buprenorphine.

Read full original descriptionShow less

The primary objective of the maintenance phase is to compare the efficacy of 100 mg and 300 mg maintenance doses of extended-release buprenorphine administered every 4 weeks.

The 4 groups in the trial

  • Induction Phase: Rapid InductionTreatment being tested

    Participants will receive 4 mg transmucosal buprenorphine on Day 1. Participants meeting eligibility requirements will then receive 300 mg extended-release buprenorphine by subcutaneous injection at least 1 hour later and a second dose on Day 8.

    Treatment: Transmucosal Buprenorphine and Extended-release Buprenorphine

  • Induction Phase: Standard of Care InductionTreatment being tested

    Participants will receive transmucosal buprenorphine for a minimum of 7 days per applicable product labelling information. Participants meeting eligibility requirements will receive 300 mg extended-release buprenorphine by subcutaneous injection on Day 1 and a second dose on Day 8.

    Treatment: Transmucosal Buprenorphine and Extended-release Buprenorphine

  • Maintenance Phase: Extended-release Buprenorphine 100 mgTreatment being tested

    Participants eligible to continue treatment will be randomized at Week 6 to receive maintenance doses of 100 mg extended-release buprenorphine by subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks for a total of up to 8 maintenance injections (Weeks 6 to 34).

    Treatment: Extended-release Buprenorphine

  • Maintenance Phase: Extended-release Buprenorphine 300 mgTreatment being tested

    Participants eligible to continue treatment will be randomized at Week 6 to receive maintenance doses of 300 mg extended-release buprenorphine by subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks for a total of up to 8 maintenance injections (Weeks 6 to 34).

    Treatment: Extended-release Buprenorphine
