Comparative assessment of the absorption of a generic formulation of buprenorphine transdermal patch against the innovator buprenorphine transdermal patch conducted under fasting conditions with the inclusion of a naltrexone block in healthy male and female volunteers
- Conditions
- Bioequivalence study conducted in healthy volunteers comparing two formulations of buprenorphine transdermal patch with no health condition or problem studied. Although this study is being conducted in healthy volunteers who are not being treated for the condition to which the medicine is used, buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain.Bioequivalence study conducted in healthy volunteers comparing two formulations of buprenorphine transdermal patch with no health condition or problem studied.Although this study is being conducted in healthy volunteers who are not being treated for the condition to which the medicine is used, buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist indicated for the management of moderate to severe pain.Other - Research that is not of generic health relevance and not applicable to specific health categories listed above

- Interventional
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To compare the bioavailability of buprenorphine (as summarised by Cmax and AUC). All plasma samples will be assayed for buprenorphine using one fully validated LC/MS/MS method. Validation will be conducted to comply with EU and FDA guidelines.[ 0, 6, 10, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 50, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 176, 192, 200, 216, 224, 240 and 264 hours ]
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Time to maximum peak concentration (Tmax) will be determined by plasma sample analysis. Tmax will be the time where the maximum concentration occurred in the sample points.[ 0, 6, 10, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 50, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120, 132, 144, 156, 168, 176, 192, 200, 216, 224, 240 and 264 hours ]
