Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This was a Phase 3, multi-center extension of Alkermes' Study ALK21-003EXT (NCT01218971) to further assess the long-term safety of repeat monthly doses of Medisorb® naltrexone (VIVITROL®).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Enrolled subjects continued to receive the same dose strength of Medisorb naltrexone (ie, 190 mg or 380 mg) they had received in Study ALK21-003-EXT (NCT01218971). Assigned dose strength (high or low) was not revealed to the subject, the study investigators, or any blinded member of the clinical study team for the duration of the study period. Placebo was not administered.
