Brief summary

Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is a plant often used to self-treat conditions such as pain, coughing, diarrhea, anxiety and depression, opioid use disorder, and opioid withdrawal. Due to limited data availability, the goal of this clinical trial is to learn about safety, pharmacokinetics (what the body does to the drug) and pharmacodynamics (what the drug does to the body) of Kratom in adult recreational polydrug users with opioid experience.

Detailed description

This is a phase I, single-dose, randomized, adaptive, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose (SAD), sequential group study in adult recreational polydrug users with opioid experience performed at a single study center. This study will consist of five cohorts. Forty subjects are planned to participate. Eight subjects will participate in each cohort. Within each cohort, 6 subjects will be randomized to receive Kratom and 2 subjects will be randomized to receive placebo. Each subject will be involved in the study for up to approximately 37 days (including screening).

Masking description

The treatment assignment (active or placebo) will not be known by the study participants. Study participants will be informed of the dose range they could receive but will not be informed of the actual dose assigned to them. Furthermore, the randomization code will not be available to the Investigator and clinical staff involved in the collection, monitoring, revision, or evaluation of AEs, as well as clinical staff who could have an impact on the outcome of the study including the pharmacokineticist (or delegate) and biostatistician, until all the case report form (CRFs) have been approved and signed and the bioanalytical phase of the study has been completed.
