Brief Summary

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

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the onset of analgesia following administration of a single oral dose of PF614 (50 mg or 100 mg) or placebo in healthy male subjects in an experimental pain model (cold pressor test \[CPT\]).

Detailed Description

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

Researchers will compare drug PF614 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if drug PF614 works to prevent moderate-to-severe experimental pain.

Study subjects will:

* On the Screening Day: Immerse their non-dominant hand in an ice cold water bath to assess their baseline pain threshold. Subjects will report when they first feel pain (onset) and how long they can keep their hand immersed in ice-cold water (maximum = 3 minutes).
* On Treatment Day 1: Repeat the initial CPT test for pain, then take drug PF614 or a placebo capsule (the study will be blinded so they won't know which treatment they received). After taking a single dose of study medication, they will be tested again for when they first feel pain (onset) and how long they can keep their hand immersed in ice-cold water (maximum = 3 minutes) at 10 time periods up to 6 hours after taking the study medications.
* Report adverse events, if any.
* On Treatment Day 2: After a minimum of 5 days after Treatment Day 1, subjects will repeat the procedures from Treatment Day 1. They will receive the opposite medication that they received on Treatment Day 1 (this is a cross-over design). They will be tested again for when they first feel pain (onset) and how long they can keep their hand immersed in ice-cold water (maximum = 3 minutes) at 10 time periods up to 6 hours after taking the study medications.
* Report adverse events, if any.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Non-smoking males, ages 18-55 years, inclusive, in good general health.
2. Body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18.0 to 34.0 kg/m2, inclusive, and a minimum weight of 50.0 kg.
3. Subjects must have completed at least 2 CPTs at Screening (minimum 30 minutes apart or when the dorsal surface hand skin temperature had returned to baseline temperature \[±2°C\]), with both tests resulting in latency time of greater than 20 seconds and less than 120 seconds.
4. Subjects must have had prior therapeutic experience with use of opioids for analgesia without showing signs of opioid-induced vomiting, dysphoria, or clinically significant sedation.
5. Subjects must have agreed to use a double-barrier contraceptive method (condom and spermicide, or condom along with female partner's contraceptive method \[oral, injectable, implanted, transdermal, or intrauterine device (IUD) with or without hormones\]), or at least one partner was confirmed to be surgically sterile, or subject must have agreed to remain abstinent from heterosexual intercourse at the time of Screening, during the study, and for 90 days following the last administration of study drug. Subjects must have agreed to not donate sperm during the study and for 90 days following the last administration of study drug.
6. Subjects must have been able to speak, read, and understand English sufficiently to allow completion of all study assessments.
7. Subjects must have been able to provide written informed consent.
8. Subjects must have been willing and able to follow study instructions and been likely to complete all study requirements.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Lifetime history or presence of substance or alcohol use disorder, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-V-TR).
2. History or presence of clinically significant abnormality, as assessed by physical examination, medical history, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, or laboratory values, which, in the opinion of an investigator, would have jeopardized the safety of the subject or the validity of the study results. Retesting may have been permitted at the discretion of an investigator.
3. History or presence of acute respiratory depression, chronic pulmonary disease, cor pulmonale, delirium tremens, central nervous system (CNS) depression, or increased cerebrospinal or intracranial pressure.
4. History or presence of peripheral neuropathy or significant trauma or injury to non-dominant hand.
5. Documented history of, or currently active, seizure disorder (excluding febrile seizures in childhood), history of clinically significant head injury or syncope of unknown origin.
6. History or presence of obstructive sleep apnea.
7. History of gastrointestinal disturbance requiring frequent use of antacids.
8. History of or presence of trypsin deficiency.
9. History of allergy or hypersensitivity to oxycodone, any other opioid or naloxone.
10. Positive urine drug screen (UDS) or alcohol screen at Screening and at check-in to each treatment period (Day -1).
11. Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibody (HCV Ab), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
12. Positive result for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) at check-in to each treatment period (Day -1). If a subject presented with a positive result, the subject may have been rescheduled at the discretion of the investigator and in agreement with the sponsor.
13. Evidence of clinically significant hepatic or renal impairment including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \>1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN).
