Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and blood levels of a medicine, naltrexone, contained within an implant in healthy volunteers age 18 to 65 years. To do this, the implant containing the drug will be inserted under the skin, left in place for 3 months and then removed.
Detailed Description:
Naltrexone (NTX) is a medication that helps people with opioid and alcohol dependence. It works by blocking the effects of opioids like heroin in the body. In the United States, participants can get NTX in two forms: a pill participants take once a day (Revia) and a shot participants get once a month (Vivitrol). Even though NTX is good at stopping the effects of opioids, some people find it hard to take it regularly. That's why scientists are looking into making a new version of NTX that participants only need to take once a month. This could make it easier for people with opioid use problems to stick with their treatment plan.
The device being tried out in this research is called BIOPIN-6. It's made to stay in the body for more than a month. The study will go on for three months and aims to check if the BIOPIN-6 is safe and how much medicine it releases into the blood. Once the three months are up, the device will be taken out.
