Introduction: Sublingual buprenorphine is effective for opioid dependence treatment but associated with misuse, abuse, and diversion. The present Phase I/II study evaluated a novel buprenorphine subcutaneous depot formulation for once-weekly dosing (CAM2038 q1w) in patients receiving maintenance treatment for opioid use disorder with daily sublingual buprenorphine.Methods: After discontinuation of buprenorphine for 48 h, patients received a single CAM2038 q1w dose based on their pre-study daily sublingual maintenance dose. CAM2038 qlw doses of 7.5, 15, 22.5, and 30 mg were administered in a sequential dose-escalating design. The following assessments were performed: pharmacokinetics of buprenorphine and norbuprenorphine, pharmacodynamics (evaluated using the Subjective and Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scales), and time to intake of rescue sublingual buprenorphine medication.Results: Single doses of CAM2038 q1w indicated dose-proportional buprenorphine pharmacoldnetics (C-max and AUC(0-7d)), with time to Cmax h and an apparent terminal half-life of 3-5 days, supporting once-weekly dosing. On average, patients showed a rapid and extended decrease in opiate-withdrawal symptoms from baseline, with zero or very low SOWS and COWS values measured at least up to 7 days after dosing of CAM2038 q1w. The median time to first use of rescue buprenorphine was 10 days. No dose dependence was seen in the pharmacodynamics, attributable to the selection of CAM2038 q1w doses based on patients' pre-study maintenance doses. CAM2038 qlw was safe and generally well tolerated.Conclusions: Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a novel buprenorphine subcutaneous depot formulation for once-weekly dosing was evaluated, suggesting utility in maintenance treatment of patients with opioid use disorder.
