The primary objective of the open-label, single-dose, partially randomised crossover trial is to compare the bioavailability and establish bioequivalence of ELI-201 40mg controlled-release capsules to 40mg OxyContin controlled-release tablet.

Elite’s abuse deterrent technology is a multi-particulate capsule which contains an opioid agonist and naltrexone, an opioid antagonist.

Naltrexone is an opioid receptor antagonist used to manage alcohol and opioid dependence. The product passes through the body unreleased while the opioid agonist releases over time providing therapeutic pain relief.
