Buprenorphine Extended-Release Subcutaneous Injection (RBP-6000) in High-risk Users

Completed · Phase 4

Conditions studied: Moderate to Severe Opioid-use Disorder

In brief

The primary objective of the induction phase of the study is to compare treatment retention of participants following rapid induction or standard of care (SoC) induction onto extended-release buprenorphine. The primary objective of the maintenance phase is to compare the efficacy of 100 mg and 300 mg maintenance doses of extended-release buprenorphine administered every 4 weeks.
