Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Participants who meet one or more of the following criteria will not be considered eligible to participate in the clinical study: 1. Have a known contraindication or hypersensitivity to buprenorphine or other opioids. 2. Have any clinically significant history of allergic conditions (including drug allergies, asthma, eczema or anaphylactic reactions, but excluding untreated asymptomatic, seasonal allergies). 3. Have any clinically significant laboratory test result that, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the participant's welfare, ability to communicate with the trial staff, or otherwise contraindicate trial participation. 4. Have any clinically significant unstable cardiac, respiratory, neurological, immunological, endocrinological, hematological, bile duct, urological or renal disease or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the participant's welfare, ability to communicate with the trial staff, or otherwise contraindicate trial participation. 5. Current use of agents metabolized through Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP 3A4) such as azole, antifungals (e.g. ketoconazole), macrolide antibiotics (e.g. erythromycin), or protease inhibitors (e.g. ritonavir, indinavir and saquinavir). 6. Current dependence (by DSM-IV criteria) of any psychoactive substance other than opiates, caffeine or nicotine dependence. 7. Prior or current enrolment in an opiate substitution or addiction rehabilitation program (i.e. methadone, levoalphaacetylmethadol). 8. Have tested positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Participants with hepatitis infection and no significant viral load, no acute signs of inflammation, and no clinical necessity for therapy will be allowed. 9. Are considered by the investigator, for any reason (including, but not limited to, the risks described as precautions, warnings, and contraindications in the current version of the Investigator?s Brochure for CAM2038 50 mg/mL q1w [buprenorphine FluidCrystal® injection depot]), to be an unsuitable candidate to receive the trial medication. 10. Have any other condition or deviation that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the participant unsuitable for participation in the trial. 11. Is an employee of the investigator or the trial site, with direct involvement in the proposed trial or other studies under the direction of the investigator or trial site, or is a family member of an employee or of the investigator. 12. Veins unsuitable for repeat venipuncture. 13. Any condition requiring regular concomitant medication including herbal products, or predicted need of any concomitant medication during the study. 14. Intake of any medication (except paracetamol [up to 2 g per day]) including over-the-counter (OTC) medication, herbal and dietary supplements such as St John?s Wort, vitamins and minerals that could affect the outcome of the study, within 2 weeks before the first administration of the IMP or less than 5 times the half-life of that medication, whichever is the longer. 15. A pulse of 90 bpm; mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) 140 mmHg; mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) 90 mmHg (triplicate measurements, resting in supine position for

Buprenorphine: sublingual 8 mg, 16 mg or 24 mg: predose (within 45 minutes) and at 10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes and at 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10 and 24 hours post dosing for the 1st dose and 7th dose, and additionally at 48 and 72 hours post dosing for the 7th dose. 1.3. CAM2038 50 mg/mL q1w 8 mg, 16 mg and 32 mg: predose (within 45 minutes) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 24, 36 and 48 hours post dosing, subcutaneous injection: and at 3, 4, 5, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post dose.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Vital signs and 12-lead ECGs: 1.1 Single IV buprenorphine injection: on Day 1: on Day -1, on Day 1 at predose (within 45 minutes) and at 30 minutes, and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 10 and 24 hours post dosing. 1.2. Buprenorphine sublingual 8 mg, 16 mg or 24 mg: predose (within 45 minutes) and at 30 minutes, and at 1, 2, 4, 6, 10 and 24 hours post dosing for the 1st dose and 7th dose, and additionally at 48 and 72 hours post dosing for the 7th dose. 1.3. CAM2038 50 mg/mL q1w 8 mg, 16 mg and 32 mg: predose (within 45 minutes) and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 24 and 48 hours, and at the visits on post dose days 3, 4, 5, 7, 14, 21 and 28. 2. Pulse oximetry: on Day 1, Day 8, Day 14 and Day 21 continuous O2 saturation monitoring will be performed from approximately 10 minutes predose. Abnormal SpO2 values will be identified as those outside (above or below) the reference range (91-100%). Continuous SpO2 monitoring will be performed until at least 6 hours postdose for the IV buprenorphine (Temgesic) and for the SL buprenorphine (Subutex®). Continuous SpO2 monitoring will be performed until at least 36 hours postdose for the SC CAM2038 injections. SpO2 values will be recorded at the same time points as the vital signs. 3. Safety questionnaires to be completed for the single IV buprenorphine injection on Day 1, for the 1st dose and 7th dose of SL buprenorphine 8 mg, 16 mg and 24 mg and for the single subcutaneous CAM2038 50 mg/mL q1w 8 mg, 16 mg and 32 mg dose on Day 21. 4. NAS scores for dizziness, euphoria, nausea, sedation and dysphoria: predose and at 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 10, and 24 hours post dosing. 5. ARCI-49: predose and at 24 hours post dosing. 6.
