Brief Summary  

This study is designed to determine the safety profile and establish the efficacy of Xprenor (buprenorphine oral lyophilisate) in comparison with Subutex (buprenorphine hydrochloride) in opioid dependent patients.

 

The study consists of an induction period of up to 7 days where patients identify a dose of Xprenor (buprenorphine oral lyophilisate) or Subutex [(buprenorphine hydrochloride), an effective and approved treatment for opioid dependence], followed by a maintenance period of 7 days on the dose identified. At the end of the maintenance period, all patients will be switched to the prevailing standard of care.
