Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of the Percentage of Urine Samples Negative for Opioids Combined With Self-Reports Negative for Illicit Opioid Use Collected From Week 5 Through Week 24
Weekly from Weeks 5-24

Data represent the count of participants at various percentage abstinence levels. Abstinence was defined as urine samples being negative for opioids AND negative self-reports (obtained from Timeline Followback (TLFB) interviews) for illicit opioid use. The primary endpoint was based on visits in which paired urine samples and self-reports were expected for each subject as specified in the schedule of events. Missing urine drug screen(s) (UDS) samples and/or self-reports were considered as non-negative.

ArmTypeDescription
RBP-6000 300mg/100mgEXPERIMENTALDuring the Run-In Period, participants are inducted onto SUBOXONE sublingual film (SL) followed by a 4- to 11-day SUBOXONE sublingual film open-label run-in dose-adjustment period to achieve buprenorphine dosages ranging from 8 to 24 mg according to the SUBOXONE sublingual film prescribing information. Participants are then randomized. As of protocol Amendment 2 (21 August 2015) SUBOXONE use is tapered from 6 mg to 2 mg from Days 1-5 and then discontinued. Participants in this treatment arm are given RBP-6000 300 mg injections on Days 1 and 29. Injections 3-6 are separated by 28 days (Day 57-Day 141) and contain RBP-6000 100 mg. In addition, participants received individual drug counseling (IDC) at least once a week.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
SUBOXONEDRUGSUBOXONE (buprenorphine sublingual film) is used for induction therapy. Participants take sublingual film for 3 days according to the sublingual film prescribing information; they then complete a 4-to-11 day sublingual film dose adjustment at doses ranging from 8 mg to 24 mg sublingual film prior to randomization. Following randomization, SUBOXONE use is tapered from 6 mg to 2 mg from Days 1-5 and then discontinued.
RBP-6000DRUGSix injections administered subcutaneously every 28 days on alternate sides of participant's abdomen at either 300 mg or 100 mg dose.
PlaceboDRUGSix injections of placebo administered subcutaneously every 28 days on alternate sides of participant's abdomen at volumes matching the experimental drug.
