Interventions

  • Drug6β-Naltrexol escalating doses from 0.05-0.5 mg IV

    Drug: Naloxone 0.1 mg IV/5 minutes to all subjects to determine tolerability to precipitated withdrawal during screening. Those that tolerate withdrawal proceed to Stage 1: Drug: Lactulose 10 gm orally plus 3 IV infusions 30 minutes apart of Naloxone 0.1 mg IV and 2 placebo given randomly to all subjects. If tolerated, proceed to 5 additional medication dosing sessions with all subjects receiving oral Lactulose 10 GM plus IV escalating 6β-Naltrexol 0.05 mg, 0.15 mg, 0.5 mg with a randomized placebo.

    Also known as: Naloxone, 6β-Naltrexol, Lactulose

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. - 6β-Naltrexol will have 13 hr half-life. Plasma collected

    Time frame: -0-24 hrs post dose

  2. - 6β-Naltrexol pharmacokinetic profile in opioid-dependent population will be similar in non-opioid-dependent population. Plasma levels collected

    Time frame: 0-8 hrs post dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. -6β-Naltrexol will have a lower potency in precipitating withdrawal and be better tolerated than Naloxone assessed by vital signs, objective/subjective ate Withdrawal Scales, Visual Analog Scales, Pupil Size and GI Motility measures

    Time frame: 0-8 hrs post dose

  2. 6β-Naltrexol dose-dependent increases to reverse methadone-induced bowel dysfunction. Plasma levels and Hydrogen Breath Tests

    Time frame: 0-8 hrs post dose
