Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pharmacokinetic parameter [area under the plasma concentration curve from zero to infinity - AUCO-inf]12 days

The primary endpoints of the study are the pharmacokinetic parameter, area under the plasma concentration curve from zero to infinity \[AUCO-inf\] of naltrexone and naloxone when administered and in combination.

Pharmacokinetic parameter [maximum serum concentration - Cmax]12 days

The primary endpoints of the study are the pharmacokinetic parameter, maximum serum concentration \[Cmax\], of naltrexone and naloxone when administered and in combination.

Pharmacokinetic parameter [area under the plasma concentration time curve - AUCO-t]12 days

The primary endpoints of the study are the pharmacokinetic parameter, area under the plasma concentration time curve \[AUCO-t\] of naltrexone and naloxone when administered and in combination.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adverse Events15 days

To assess and document any adverse events measures

Vital Sign - Blood pressure (systolic)12 days

To assess and document blood pressure (systolic) before and after intranasal dosing

Vital Sign - Heart Rate12 days

To assess and document heart rate before and after intranasal dosing

Vital Sign - Respiration Rate12 days

To assess and document respiration rate before and after intranasal dosing

Vital Sign - Blood pressure (diastolic)12 days
