Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study on the Safety and Effectiveness of LUCEMYRA During an Opioid Taper in Treatment of Withdrawal
brief summary
Stopping prescription opioid pain medications can be difficult due to withdrawal symptoms. This study will test if LUCEMYRA helps reduce withdrawal symptoms and helps more people reduce their opioid dose compared to placebo.
detailed description
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LUCEMYRA in the treatment of opioid withdrawal during an opioid taper in subjects with chronic non-cancer pain.
Subjects will begin a planned 14-day complete taper of their pre-study opioid medications and will be randomly assigned (1:1) to either LUCEMYRA or matching placebo. Study drug will be administered through the opioid taper and for 5 days after the opioid taper is completed. Study drug will then be tapered over a 4-day period for a total of approximately 21 days exposure to study drug.
