Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Single centre, open-label, multiple application study in a total of 12 healthy participants.

Eligible participants will receive 4 x 3 day sequential applications of transdermal patches containing 56.8 mg of oxymorphone per application in combination with TPM (tocopheryl phosphate mix) during a 12 day in-house stay. A subsequent 4 day in-house stay will follow to ensure washout of the oxymorphone to a safe level prior to discharge.During the entire study period, participants will receive naltrexone 50mg orally twice a day to block the systemic effects of oxymorphone.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 290245 0
To characterise the pharmacokinetic profile of oxymorphone delivered transdermally using the oxymorphone patch.
Timepoint [1] 290245 0
Pharmacokinetic profile will be assessed through collection of blood samples at various time points during each 3 day patch application and during the wash out period. A total of 59 blood samples will be collected from each participant and analysed
Timepoint: Pharmacokinetic profile will be assessed through collection of blood samples at various time points. On Day 1 there will be an intensive blood sampling period in which samples will be collected every 1-2hrs and for the duration of the in-house period sample will be collected every 4-8hrs. A total of 59 blood samples will be collected from each participant and analysed.
Secondary outcome [1] 304193 0
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of oxymorphone delivered transdermally from the oxymorphone patch.
Timepoint [1] 304193 0
Safety and tolerability will be assessed by:
* The frequency of Adverse Events. Known/ possible adverse events that have associated with the oxymorphone patch include application site reaction, nausea and dizziness.
* The frequency of skin irritation at site of application
* Clinically important changes in Vital signs
* Clinically important changes in laboratory tests and assessments
Timepoint: Safety and tolerability will be assessed by:
* The frequency of Adverse Events measured throughout study participation
* The frequency of skin irritation at site monitored after patch removal
* Clinically important changes in Vital signs monitored twice daily throughout the in-house period
* Clinically important changes in laboratory tests and assessments monitored at screening, check-in, Day 4, Day 10, discharge and follow up (5-7 days post discharge)
