Brief summary

Extended-release buprenorphine (SUBLOCADE®) injection is currently approved for subcutaneous administration in the abdomen for treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). Having alternative injection sites is desirable to provide additional flexibility to patients, particularly for those who may prefer less visible or more convenient injection locations. The primary objective of this study is to assess the relative bioavailability of extended-release buprenorphine when administered at alternative injection locations (test treatments), in comparison to the abdomen (reference treatment).

Between the ages of 18 and 65 years inclusive, at the time of signing the ICF. 4. Currently meets Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) criteria for moderate or severe opioid use disorder (OUD), or documented history of moderate to severe OUD and receiving/stabilized on medicine for opioid use disorder (MOUD). 5. Body mass index: ≥ 18.0 to ≤ 33.0 kg/m\^2. 6.

Has had significant traumatic injury or major surgical procedure (as defined by the investigator) within 30 days prior to the first dose of SUBLOCADE or still recovering from prior such injury or surgery. 5.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

A total of 175 participants were screened to assess eligibility; of these, 132 received SUBOXONE during the Run-In Period (all eligible participants were attempted to be stabilized on 12 mg SUBOXONE \[buprenorphine/naloxone\] sublingual film once daily for a minimum of 7 days before the SUBLOCADE injection). 44 participants discontinued during the Run-In Period. A total of 88 participants were thus randomized (Started) to a treatment arm to receive extended-release buprenorphine on Day 1.
