Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare the steady state PK of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine after SC doses of RBP- 6000 relative to the corresponding SUBUTEX doses [ Time Frame: 113 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Multiple dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine after SC injections of 50 mg, 100 mg, and 200 mg doses of buprenorphine in RBP-6000 in treatment seeking opioid-dependent subjects who will be inducted and then stabilized on a SUBUTEX dose of 8 mg, 12 mg, or 24 mg, respectively.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • The Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS), Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale (SOWS), Opioid Craving Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Clinical Global Impression total scores. [ Time Frame: 113 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    The Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS), Subjective Opiate Withdrawal Scale (SOWS), Opioid Craving Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGIS), and Clinical Global Impression - Improvement scale (CGI-I) total scores.


Other Outcome Measures:
  • To assess the safety of multiple subcutaneous (SC) injections of 50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg doses of buprenorphine in RBP-6000 in treatment seeking opioid-dependent subjects who will be inducted and then stabilized on a sublingual SUBUTEX doses. [ Time Frame: 113 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    To assess the safety and tolerability of multiple subcutaneous (SC) injections of 50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg doses of buprenorphine in RBP-6000 in treatment seeking opioid-dependent subjects who will be inducted and then stabilized on a sublingual SUBUTEX dose of 8 mg, 12 mg, or 24 mg prior to transfer.
