Recruiting PHASE1 Opioid Induced Respiratory Depression

New treatment option for Opioid Induced Respiratory Depression

Official title Reversal of Opioid-induced Respiratory Depression With Opioid Antagonists

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05338632

What this study is testing

What is Narcan 40 MG/ML Nasal Spray?

Narcan 40 MG/ML Nasal Spray is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for opioid induced respiratory depression.

Also referred to as Intranasal naloxone.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
n this pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling study we will determine the ability of intranasal and intravenous naloxone and intravenous nalmefene to reverse opioid (fentanyl and sufentanil)- induced respiratory depression in healthy volunteers and chronic opioid users to develop dosing recommendations in case of opioid-induced respiratory depression from an opioid overdose in clinical practice and in the out-of-hospital overdose.
