Clinical Trials

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of LUCEMYRA in the Treatment of Opioid Withdrawal During an Opioid Taper in Subjects with Chronic Non-Cancer Pain

Lead Researcher: John Douglas Markman MD

Eligible subjects will begin a planned, 14-day taper of their opioid medication and will be randomly assigned to receive the study drug, either LUCEMYRA or a placebo tablet. LUCEMYRA is currently approved for abrupt discontinuation of opioids. You may be eligible if you are 18 yrs or older, on oral opioid dosage of 50-240 MME daily for at least 12 wks, have chronic non-cancer pain for at least 6 mos, and have no cardiovascular abnormalities.
