Trial Outcomes

Subjective Opioid Withdrawal Scale Score (SOWS)

Measures severity of opioid withdrawal in opioid dependent populations (0-64). Larger values indicate more severe withdrawal. (NCT00723177)
Timeframe: Measured at the end of each two-week maintenance period (i.e., Placebo, Low AV411, High AV411).

Interventionunits on a scale (Mean)
Placebo16
Low-dose AV4114
High-dose AV41124

The Effects of AV411 on the Analgesic Effects of Oxycodone.

The McGill Pain Questionnaire (Melzack, 1987) was used to assess pain experience immediately following the immersion of the hand in 4 degree Celsius water. Scores were added across all 15 items to generate a sum score, which ranged between 15 and 60. Larger scores indicate greater pain levels. (NCT00723177)
Timeframe: Measured at the end of each AV411 of the three two-week maintenance periods

Low-dose AV41142
High-dose AV41138
