An Open-Label, Multi-Center Extension Study Of Probuphine in Patients With Opioid Dependence

Buprenorphine (BPN) is an approved treatment for opioid dependence; however, in taking oral
tablets, patients experience withdrawal and cravings when the variable BPN levels in the
blood are low. Probuphine (buprenorphine implant) is an implant placed just beneath the skin
that contains BPN. It is designed to provide 6 months of stable BPN blood levels. This study
will test the safety and efficacy of Probuphine in the treatment of patient with opioid
dependence. Patients who have completed 24 weeks of treatment in the Randomized,
Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center Study of Probuphine in Patients with Opioid
Dependence, will be re-treated with Probuphine over an additional 24 weeks.

- Females of childbearing potential and fertile males must use a reliable means of
contraception

Exclusion Criteria:

- Presence of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels ≥ 3 X upper limit of normal and/or
alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels ≥ 3 X upper limit of normal and/or total
bilirubin ≥ 1.5 X upper limit of normal and/or creatinine ≥ 1.5 X upper limit of
normal

- Current diagnosis of chronic pain requiring opioids for treatment

- Pregnant or lactating females

- Current use of agents metabolized through cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP 3A4) such as azole
antifungals (e.g., ketoconazole), macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), and

- Current anti-coagulant therapy (such as warfarin) or an INR > 1.2

- Current use of benzodiazepines other than physician prescribed use

- Significant medical or psychiatric symptoms, cognitive impairment, or other factors
which in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude compliance with the protocol,
