Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of RDC-1036 (ALKS 37) in adults with opioid-induced constipation (OIC) following repeat dose administration

Detailed Description

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

Approximately 60 subjects will be enrolled in 1 of 2 cohorts. Following a review of Cohort 1 safety and tolerability data, subjects will then be enrolled into Cohort 2, to explore additional doses. Dose escalation will occur in both cohorts. There will be 18 visits over a 6-week period.
