Brief Summary

This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, single-dose, parallel-group study which will enroll and randomize approximately 48 subjects (to achieve 36 completers) with opioid use disorder (OUD) who are seeking treatment for OUD. The study includes both a Residential (Inpatient) and Non-Residential (Outpatient) Period.

Conditions

Study Groups

RBP-6000 - Light MW

Single subcutaneous injection of RBP-6000 (buprenorphine) 300 mg, formulated with a light molecular weight (MW) polymer.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

RBP-6000

Intervention Type: DRUG

RBP-6000 uses buprenorphine in the ATRIGEL Delivery System. The single-syringe is prefilled with RBP-6000 containing 300 mg buprenorphine.

SUBOXONE Sublingual Film

Intervention Type: DRUG

Subjects will be dose-stabilized on SUBOXONE sublingual film prior to administration of RBP-6000. SUBOXONE sublingual film will be administered beginning after the subject is experiencing signs and symptoms of withdrawal on Day -8 and continue until Day -1.

RBP-6000 - Heavy MW

Single subcutaneous injection of RBP-6000 (buprenorphine) 300 mg, formulated with a heavy molecular weight (MW) polymer.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

RBP-6000

Intervention Type: DRUG

RBP-6000 uses buprenorphine in the ATRIGEL Delivery System. The single-syringe is prefilled with RBP-6000 containing 300 mg buprenorphine.

SUBOXONE Sublingual Film

Intervention Type: DRUG

Subjects will be dose-stabilized on SUBOXONE sublingual film prior to administration of RBP-6000. SUBOXONE sublingual film will be administered beginning after the subject is experiencing signs and symptoms of withdrawal on Day -8 and continue until Day -1.

RBP-6000 - Intermediate MW

Single subcutaneous injection of RBP-6000 (buprenorphine) 300 mg, formulated with an intermediate molecular weight (MW) polymer (reference).

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

RBP-6000

Intervention Type: DRUG

RBP-6000 uses buprenorphine in the ATRIGEL Delivery System. The single-syringe is prefilled with RBP-6000 containing 300 mg buprenorphine.

SUBOXONE Sublingual Film

Intervention Type: DRUG

Subjects will be dose-stabilized on SUBOXONE sublingual film prior to administration of RBP-6000. SUBOXONE sublingual film will be administered beginning after the subject is experiencing signs and symptoms of withdrawal on Day -8 and continue until Day -1.

• Willing to adhere to study procedures and provide written informed consent prior to start of any study procedures.

Exclusion Criteria

• Current diagnosis, other than OUD, requiring chronic opioid treatment.
• Pregnant or lactating females.
• Have an ECG demonstrating a corrected QT interval using Fridericia's calculation (QTcF) > 450 msec in males and QTcF > 470 msec in females upon admission to the residential facility or prior to administration of RBP-6000.
• Currently meet the criteria for diagnosis of moderate or severe substance use disorder, by DSM-5 criteria, for any substances other than opioids, and/or tobacco.
• Had a significant traumatic injury, major surgery, or open biopsy within the 4 weeks prior to signing the informed consent form.
• Used buprenorphine-containing products within the 14 days prior to signing the informed consent form.
• Have a history of suicidal ideation within the 30 days prior to signing the informed consent form or prior to study drug administration
• Have a history or presence of allergic or adverse response (including rash or anaphylaxis) to buprenorphine, naloxone, methadone, or the ATRIGEL Delivery System.
