Inclusion criteria
. Patient had to provide written informed consent prior to the conduct of any study-related procedures.
. Male or female, 18-55 years of age, inclusive.
. Patients with a diagnosis of moderate or severe opioid use disorder (DSM-V) who were physically dependent on intravenous (IV) or insufflated opioids, and who were willing to undergo short-term BPN treatment.
. Self-reported opioid-use of a minimum of 21 days in the 30 days prior to Screening.
. Positive UDS for opioids at Screening or at check-in. If UDS was not positive, patients had to present with physical signs of withdrawal, as determined by the Investigator. The Investigator may have administered a naloxone challenge, in order to confirm opioid dependence at the Investigator's discretion.
. Female patients of childbearing potential had to be willing to use a reliable method of contraception during the entire study (Screening Visit to Follow-up Phone Call).
. Female patients of non-childbearing potential were surgically sterile (i.e., had undergone complete hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation) or in a menopausal state (at least 1 year without menses), as confirmed by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels.
. Male patients with female partners of childbearing potential had to agree to use a reliable method of contraception from Screening Visit through at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug. Male patients also must have agreed not to donate sperm during the study through at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

. History or presence of any clinically significant psychiatric, endocrine, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, renal, or other major disease or illness at Screening, which in the opinion of the Investigator would have jeopardized the safety of the patient or the validity of the study results.
. Opioid-dependent patients who were actively seeking treatment for their moderate to severe opioid use disorder.
. Patients with positive UDS for BPN, barbiturates, or methadone or breath alcohol on the day of check-in to the CRU.
. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels \>3 X the upper limit of normal, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels \>3 X the upper limit of normal, total bilirubin \>1.5 X the upper limit of normal, or creatinine \>1.5 X the upper limit of normal on the Screening laboratory assessments and at inpatient check-in, or other clinically significant laboratory abnormalities, which in the opinion of the Investigator may have prevented the patient from safely participating in study.
. Any clinically significant abnormality on the basis of medical history, vital signs, physical examination, 12-lead electrocardiogram (\[ECG\], QTcF ≥450 msec for males or ≥470 msec for females), and laboratory evaluation (including hematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, and serology \[optional\]) at Screening, in the opinion of the Investigator.
. Significant symptoms, medical conditions, or other circumstances which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would have precluded compliance with the protocol, adequate cooperation in the study or obtaining informed consent, or may have prevented the patient from safely participating in study (including, but not limited to, the risks described as precautions, warnings, and contraindications in the current version of the Investigator's Brochure for CAM2038).
. Patients were carefully screened to exclude individuals presenting with a clinically significant history of seizure disorders, history of asthma or other respiratory disorders, head injury, hypertension, or personal history of cardiovascular disease or clinically significant ECG abnormalities.
. Current diagnosis of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome.
