Evaluation of Preference for a Buprenorphine-based Maintenance Therapy, After a Switch From Buprenorphine Alone (Subutex®) to the Buprenorphine/Naloxone Combination (Suboxone®), in Opioid-dependent Patients With Buprenorphine Maintenance Therapy
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating buprenorphine and buprenorphine/naloxone for Opiate-related Disorders and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 60 participants.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to determine if opioid dependent subjects who are already receiving Subutex® prefer the Suboxone® tablet over the Subutex® tablet after switching from Subutex® to Suboxone®. Subjects who are selected to participate in this study will continue their prescribed dose of Subutex® (buprenorphine 2 to 16 mg daily) for the first two days of the study (Day 1 and Day 2) then switch to and receive an equivalent dose of Suboxone® (buprenorphine 2 to 16 mg daily) for the last 3 days of the study (Day 3, Day 4 and Day 5). The Day 5 Visit will be the subject's last study visit. Upon completing the study, subjects will continue their pre-study prescribed dosage of Subutex®.
