Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Adverse Events
Severity of adverse events (AEs) was graded according to the following definitions: Mild: The subject experiences awareness of symptoms but these are easily tolerated or managed without specific treatment Moderate: The subject experiences discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity, and/or the condition requires specific treatment Severe: The subject is incapacitated with inability to work or do usual activity, and/or the event requires significant treatment measures. The relationship of the event to the study drug was determined by the investigator. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any AE occurring at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening AE, hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

The plasma concentration of naldemedine and its metabolite Nor-S-297995 were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last sampling time at which concentrations were at or above the limit of quantitation, calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule for increasing concentrations and the logarithmic rule for decreasing concentrations (Linear Up/ Log Down).
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity for Naldemedine and Metabolite Nor-S-297995
The plasma concentration of naldemedine and its metabolite Nor-S-297995 were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity, calculated using the formula: AUC0-inf = AUC0-t + Ct/λZ where Ct was the last measurable concentration and λZ was the apparent terminal elimination rate constant.
Apparent Elimination Half-life of Naldemedine and Metabolite Nor-S-297995
The plasma concentration of naldemedine and its metabolite Nor-S-297995 were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. The apparent elimination half-life was calculated using the formula t1/2,z = (ln2)/λZ

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of single doses of oral naldemedine in adults physically dependent on opioids.
Detailed Description
A single dose of naldemedine or matching placebo will be administered orally to each cohort of 12 participants (9 treatments, 3 placebos) in the morning of Day 15 under fasted conditions. The first cohort will receive a 0.1 mg dose. Cohorts will continue to be enrolled at the next higher dose level until the highest dose level (3 mg) has been achieved or until the study is discontinued due to adverse events or Clinical Opioid Withdrawal Score of >8. A 0.03 mg dose will also be tested. A 0.01 mg dose will be tested if 4 or more subjects experience 1 or more bowel movements within the 24 hour period post dose in the 0.03 mg dosing cohort.

Percentage of Participants With Webster Opiate Withdrawal Scale (WOWS) Score > 8 at Any Time During the Study
Description
The Webster Opiate Withdrawal Scale (WOWS) assessment consisted of 7 questions which rate the severity of opiate withdrawal symptoms, including sweating, sleep, bone or joint aches, runny nose or tearing, gastrointestinal upset, anxiety or irritability and gooseflesh skin. Each symptom was rated on a scale from 0 (not present/no issues) to 4 or 5 (severe). The total score was calculated by summing the 7 individual scores and ranged from 0 (no withdrawal symptoms) to 29 (worst symptoms).
Time Frame
The WOWS assessment was performed at Screening, Day 14, Day 15 at pre-dose , and 24 and 48 hours post-dose and at the Follow-up/End of Study visit (Day 24).
Title
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Naldemedine and Metabolite Nor-S-297995
Description
The plasma concentration of naldemedine and its metabolite Nor-S-297995 were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method.
Time Frame
Blood samples were collected predose and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose.
Title
Time to Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration of Naldemedine and Metabolite Nor-S-297995
Description
The plasma concentration of naldemedine and its metabolite Nor-S-297995 were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method.
Time Frame
Blood samples were collected predose and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose.
Title
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time of Last Measurable Concentration of Naldemedine and Metabolite Nor-S-297995
Description
The plasma concentration of naldemedine and its metabolite Nor-S-297995 were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to the last sampling time at which concentrations were at or above the limit of quantitation, calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule for increasing concentrations and the logarithmic rule for decreasing concentrations (Linear Up/ Log Down).
Time Frame
Blood samples were collected predose and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose.
Title
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity for Naldemedine and Metabolite Nor-S-297995
Description
The plasma concentration of naldemedine and its metabolite Nor-S-297995 were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero to infinity, calculated using the formula: AUC0-inf = AUC0-t + Ct/λZ where Ct was the last measurable concentration and λZ was the apparent terminal elimination rate constant.
Time Frame
Blood samples were collected predose and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose.
Title
Apparent Elimination Half-life of Naldemedine and Metabolite Nor-S-297995
Description
The plasma concentration of naldemedine and its metabolite Nor-S-297995 were measured by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method. The apparent elimination half-life was calculated using the formula t1/2,z = (ln2)/λZ
Time Frame
Blood samples were collected predose and at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours post-dose.
