Exclusion Criteria
  • A known allergy or history of significant adverse reaction to naloxone, other opioids or related compounds, or to any of the excipients.
  • Any documented clinically significant infection, injury, or illness within 1 month prior to screening.
  • An active malignancy of any type, or had been diagnosed with cancer within 5 years prior to screening.
  • A documented history of alcohol or drug abuse/dependence/misuse or narcotic analgesic abuse/dependence/misuse within 2 years prior to screening. Alcohol abuse was defined as greater than 14 drinks per week.
  • Positive serology test for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) at screening.
  • A positive urine test result for alcohol, drugs, or cotinine at screening or check-in.
  • A condition that the Investigator believed would have interfered with the ability to provide informed consent or comply with study instructions, or that could confound the interpretation of the study results or put the subject at undue risk.
  • Used any opioids for 30 days prior to Day 1.
  • Required treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) within 30 days prior to Day 1 and during the study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Partial Area Under the Concentration Curve (AUC) of Unconjugated NaloxonePre-dose and at multiple time points up to 1 hour post-dose
Plasma Concentration of Unconjugated NaloxonePre-dose and at multiple time points up to 1 hour post-dose
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Elimination Half-Life (t1/2) of Unconjugated NaloxonePre-dose and at multiple time points up to 24 hours post-dose
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Day 1 up to Day 10

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product during the course of a clinical investigation. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether or not thought to be related to the investigational product. A serious AE (SAE) is any AE that results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is medically significant or requires intervention.
