Assessing how oxycodone and PF614 work together with nafamostat
Official title: A Single Dose Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Oxycodone and PF614 When PF614 Capsule is Co Administered With Nafamostat as a Combination IR Solution and ER Capsule Formulation in Healthy Subjects
Run by Ensysce Biosciences · NCT06500793 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing how well a new combination of oxycodone, PF614, and nafamostat works together to see if it can help prevent overdose in healthy adults aged 18 to 55.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are healthy males or non-pregnant, non-lactating females aged 18 to 55 with a BMI between 18.0 and 32.0 kg/m2.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with serious allergies or hypersensitivity to drugs or formulations will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the pharmacokinetics of oxycodone when administered alone and in combination with PF614 and nafamostat. It aims to determine the optimal dosing of PF614-MPAR, a combination of an oxycodone prodrug and a protease inhibitor, to provide overdose protection. Healthy volunteers aged 18 to 55 will receive single and multiple doses of the drug combinations, and their responses will be monitored to assess the impact of nafamostat on oxycodone release. The study builds on previous findings to refine the formulation for potential commercialization.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to safer pain management options with reduced risk of overdose.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promise with similar formulations, indicating potential for success in this approach.
