Nalmefene Implant Safety Study in Healthy Adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new implant form of the medicine nalmefene to see if it is safe and well-tolerated in healthy adults. It is an early-phase study that helps researchers understand how the body reacts to the implant before testing it in people with opioid use problems.

This study tests whether nalmefene, a non-opioid medicine, can reduce craving episodes in people with behavioral addictions like gambling, food addiction, or sexual addiction. Participants keep tracking cravings weekly, and compare the nalmefene effect against a placebo in addition to their usual care.
This study tests a new implant (BICX104) with or without bupropion to see how safe it is and how it works in the body, compared to an existing treatment (Vivitrol). If you are healthy and not using opioids, you may be eligible to help researchers understand if this implant could be a new option for treatment.
This study tests a long-acting implant that releases naltrexone slowly over time to help prevent relapse in people with opioid use disorder. The implant is placed under the skin in a minor procedure and may help you stay opioid-free.
This trial tests how a new combination of oxycodone and nafamostat works in the body. It is for healthy volunteers aged 18 to 55 to help understand the drug's safety and how it is processed.
This study tests an investigational oral medication called MG001 in healthy people who have recently used oral opioids. It aims to see how the drug affects your body and whether it is safe.
This trial tests a nebulized (inhaled mist) form of fentanyl in healthy volunteers to see how it works in the body. It is a first-in-human study of the drug given through a nebulizer, which might help people with acute pain in the future.
