Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
CYP3A4 Inhibition by Observation of Plasma Nor-buprenorphine Production Assessed by the Erythromycin Breath Test.One time at screening and one time during ketoconazole treatment

As part of subject screening, Erythromycin Breath Tests (EBT) were done on all potential subjects (enrolled population). CYP 3A4 inhibition was calculated by taking the difference of the baseline 14C erythromycin metabolism, subtracting the 14C erythromycin metabolism during ketoconazole treatment, dividing this difference by the baseline 14C erythromycin metabolism, and multiplying by 100 to express results in the form of percent inhibition. CYP3A4 inhibition was only done when subjects were on ketoconazole.

The Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) as a Measure of Safety.The first day of study drug administration to 30 days after the last dose of study drug.

Safety assessments consisted of monitoring and recording medical history, physical examinations, vital signs (including temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate), reports of adverse experiences, and laboratory abnormalities (including electrocardiogram \[ECG\]).
