Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to understand how well oxymorphone in combination with tocopheryl phosphate mix (TPM), is absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream, with the use of a patch.

Interventions

Single centre, open-label, multiple application study in a total of 12 healthy participants. Eligible participants will receive 4 x 3 day sequential applications of transdermal patches containing 56.8 mg of oxymorphone per application in combination with TPM (tocopheryl phosphate mix) during a 12 day in-house stay. A subsequent 4 day in-house stay will follow to ensure washout of the oxymorphone to a safe level prior to discharge.During the entire study period, participants will receive naltre
