Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Transtec (R) PRO 70 µg/h and a new buprenorphine patch formulation lead to same plasma levels of buprenorphine after single dose application

Detailed Description

Main: to demonstrate the bioequivalence of the new buprenorphine transdermal patch T2rev formulation containing 13 mg buprenorphine (Test) as compared to Transtec (R) PRO 70 µg/h patch transdermal patch containing 40 mg buprenorphine as reference (Reference) after single patch application. Pharmacokinetic target parameters are AUC, AUCo-t, and Cmax.

Further: To assess the safety, tolerability, skin tolerability and adhesiveness of the patch applications
