Brief Summary

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

To evaluate role of CYP3A in buprenorphine disposition and effect

Detailed Description

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

Subjects will be studied during a maximum of seven occasions.

Study drugs are intravenous buprenorphine (0.025-0.2 mg infused over 1 hr) and sublingual buprenorphine (2-4 mg), with 1-3 week washout between sessions.

Sessions 1\&2: Control (no pretreatment) - intravenous and sublingual buprenorphine. Some subjects will only undergo session 1 (IV)

Sessions 3\&4: Liver and gut CYP3A induction (rifampin 600 mg daily), intravenous and sublingual buprenorphine

Session 5: Gut only CYP3A inhibition (grapefruit juice the night before), sublingual buprenorphine

Sessions 6\&7: Liver and gut CYP3A inhibition (ketoconazole 400 mg daily), intravenous and sublingual buprenorphine
