Pharmacokinetics of Buprenorphine and Naloxone in Subjects With Mild to Severe Hepatic Impairment (Child-Pugh Classes, A, B, and C), in HCV-Seropositive Subjects, and in Healthy Volunteers


Pharmacokinetics of Buprenorphine and Naloxone in Subjects with Mild to Severe Hepatic
Impairment and in HCV-Seropositive Subjects, and in Healthy Volunteers.


This will be a multi-center, open-label study. After providing informed consent, subjects
will undergo an outpatient screening period of up to 21 days. Screening procedures will
include an assessment of mental status which will be repeated before dosing. Eligible
subjects will then undergo hospital intake procedures and reside at the investigational site
until Day 5. Subjects will be enrolled in 5-treatment groups as follows: (1) Group 1:
Subjects with hepatic impairment classified as Child-Pugh A; (2) Group 2: Subjects with
hepatic impairment classified as Child-Pugh B; (3) Group 3: Subjects with hepatic
impairment classified as Child-Pugh C; (4) Group 4: Subjects with Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)
infection but without hepatic impairment; and (5) Group 5: Subjects without hepatic disease
or impairment. Group 5 is used as a control group

Inclusion Criteria:

birth control from the time of informed consent through the last study visit. A
negative plasma pregnancy (β-hCG) test at Screening and upon admission to the
investigational site. Testing for β-hCG will need to be timed to ensure a negative
pregnancy result at Day 1.

- Male subject agrees to use barrier contraception and spermicide when engaging in
sexual activity with a female of child-bearing potential for at least 28 days after
the study medication dose.

- Male subject agrees to refrain from sperm donations for the entire duration of the

- Use of any investigational medication or investigational medical device in the 30
days before informed consent

- Hepatic encephalopathy greater than West Haven Grade 2

- More than 1 missed appointment during Screening

- Currently under mandate by the criminal justice system or Child and Family Services
to participate in drug abuse treatment

- Participation in drug or alcohol dependence treatment in the 30 days before informed
