Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Yes

Inclusion Criteria

  • Body mass index ≥ 18 and ≤ 30 (kg/m2)
  • Medically healthy with normal screening results, or in the case of results that are abnormal; the abnormal results are clinically insignificant (eg, medical history, physical examination, neurological assessment, vital signs, oxygen saturation, laboratory profiles)
  • 12-lead ECGs (calculations by the electrocardiograph) which have no clinically significant findings
  • Vital signs which are within normal range
  • No tobacco/nicotine-containing product use for a minimum of 6 months
  • If female, must be able to adhere to acceptable methods of contraception or be postmenopausal or surgically sterile

Exclusion Criteria

  • History or presence of significant cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, hematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunologic, dermatologic, or neurological disease
  • History or presence of any degree of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • History of suicidal ideations or depression requiring professional intervention including counseling or antidepressant medication
  • Any history of drug or alcohol abuse
  • Positive drug (urine)/alcohol (breath) testing at screening or check-in
  • Positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C antibodies (HCV)
  • History of hypersensitivity or allergy to propoxyphene or any opioid compound, naloxone, naltrexone, palonosetron (Aloxi®), glycerin, senna, or bisacodyl (Dulcolax®)
  • Use of any prescription medication (with the exception of hormonal contraceptives for females) within 2 weeks of enrollment
  • Use of any over-the-counter medication, including herbal products, within 1 week of enrollment
  • Use of any drugs known to significantly inhibit or induce liver enzymes involved in drug metabolism [CYP P450]) within 30 days of enrollment
  • Blood donation or significant blood loss within 30 days of enrollment
  • Plasma donation within 7 days of enrollment
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 30 days of enrollment
  • Females who are pregnant or lactating
  • Any other condition or prior therapy, which, in the opinion of the PI, would make the subject unsuitable for this study

Arms & Interventions

1

Experimental

Intervention: Propoxyphene napsylate (XP20C) (Drug)

2

Placebo Comparator

Intervention: Placebo (Drug)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Determine the safety and tolerability of propoxyphene napsylate as determined by evaluation of adverse events, change from baseline of ventricular repolarization, lab results, and mental status

Time Frame: Day 13

Secondary Outcomes

  • Establish the relationship between serum concentrations of propoxyphene and norpropoxyphene on cardiac conduction and pharmacokinetic linearity of sequentially increased dose levels of propoxyphene napsylate.(Days -1, 1, 4, 11)
