Stopped: Recruitment of chronic opioid users was substantially lower than anticipated despite extensive recruitment efforts; the study was therefore closed before reaching the planned sample size.
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.
