Brief Summary:
This is a single-center, randomized, open-label, single-dose, parallel-group study which will enroll and randomize approximately 48 subjects (to achieve 36 completers) with opioid use disorder (OUD) who are seeking treatment for OUD. The study includes both a Residential (Inpatient) and Non-Residential (Outpatient) Period.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: RBP-6000 - Light MW
Single subcutaneous injection of RBP-6000 (buprenorphine) 300 mg, formulated with a light molecular weight (MW) polymer.
Drug: RBP-6000
RBP-6000 uses buprenorphine in the ATRIGEL Delivery System. The single-syringe is prefilled with RBP-6000 containing 300 mg buprenorphine.
Other Name: buprenorphine

Drug: SUBOXONE Sublingual Film
Subjects will be dose-stabilized on SUBOXONE sublingual film prior to administration of RBP-6000. SUBOXONE sublingual film will be administered beginning after the subject is experiencing signs and symptoms of withdrawal on Day -8 and continue until Day -1.
Other Name: buprenorphine HCl and naloxone HCl dihydrate

Experimental: RBP-6000 - Heavy MW
Single subcutaneous injection of RBP-6000 (buprenorphine) 300 mg, formulated with a heavy molecular weight (MW) polymer.
Drug: RBP-6000
RBP-6000 uses buprenorphine in the ATRIGEL Delivery System. The single-syringe is prefilled with RBP-6000 containing 300 mg buprenorphine.
Other Name: buprenorphine

Drug: SUBOXONE Sublingual Film
Subjects will be dose-stabilized on SUBOXONE sublingual film prior to administration of RBP-6000. SUBOXONE sublingual film will be administered beginning after the subject is experiencing signs and symptoms of withdrawal on Day -8 and continue until Day -1.
Other Name: buprenorphine HCl and naloxone HCl dihydrate

Active Comparator: RBP-6000 - Intermediate MW
Single subcutaneous injection of RBP-6000 (buprenorphine) 300 mg, formulated with an intermediate molecular weight (MW) polymer (reference).
Drug: RBP-6000
RBP-6000 uses buprenorphine in the ATRIGEL Delivery System. The single-syringe is prefilled with RBP-6000 containing 300 mg buprenorphine.
Other Name: buprenorphine

Drug: SUBOXONE Sublingual Film
Subjects will be dose-stabilized on SUBOXONE sublingual film prior to administration of RBP-6000. SUBOXONE sublingual film will be administered beginning after the subject is experiencing signs and symptoms of withdrawal on Day -8 and continue until Day -1.
Other Name: buprenorphine HCl and naloxone HCl dihydrate




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Study Day 1 to Day 29 (AUC0-28days) of Buprenorphine [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 29 ]
    Relative bioavailability will be assessed using AUC0-28days.

  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Buprenorphine [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 57 ]
    Relative bioavailability will also be assessed using Cmax


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve from Study Day 1 to Day 29 (AUC0-28days) of Norbuprenorphine [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 29 ]
  2. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Norbuprenorphine [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 57 ]
  3. Participants with Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 57 ]
