A Study to Evaluate the Oral Abuse Potential of PF614 in Non-Dependent Recreational Opioid Users (PF614-104)

This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled, 5-way crossover study to evaluate the abuse potential, safety and pharmacokinetics of orally administered PF614 relative to oxycodone IR (immediate-release) tablets and placebo.

The study will consist of 4 phases: Screening, Qualification, Treatment and Follow-up.

1. Screening Visit (Visit 1) The Screening Phase will be completed as an outpatient visit within 28 days of the Qualification Phase and will consist of a standard medical screen.
2. Qualification Phase (Visit 2) Within 28 days of a standard medical screening, eligible subjects will return to the clinical site as inpatients to complete the Qualification Phase (Visit 2). Upon admission to the clinical site, subjects will be interviewed and assessed for continued eligibility for the study. Subjects will check into the inpatient facility on Day -1.

   The Qualification Phase will include a Naloxone Challenge Test to confirm that subjects are not opioid dependent and a Drug Discrimination Test to ensure that subjects can distinguish between the active control (oxycodone hydrochloride (HCl) immediate-release tablets 40 mg) and placebo.

   Eligible subjects who meet Qualification Criteria will remain as inpatient until the Treatment Phase. Subjects who do not meet Qualification Criteria will be discharged after all post-dose assessments have been performed after the last study drug administration. The last study drug administration in the Qualification Phase and the first study drug administration of the Treatment Phase will be separated by a washout period of approximately 72 hours.
3. Treatment Phase (Visit 2-Continued)

   The Treatment Phase will consist of 5 treatment periods. Subjects will receive each of the following 5 treatments (1 per treatment period) in a randomized, double-blind, crossover manner, following a fasting period of at least 8 hours:
   * Treatment A: PF614 50 mg
   * Treatment B: PF614 100 mg
   * Treatment C: PF614 200 mg
   * Treatment D: Oxycodone IR 40 mg
   * Treatment E: Placebo

   Pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic and safety assessments will be conducted prior to dosing and for 24 hours after each study drug administration. Each study drug administration will be separated by a washout interval of approximately 120 hours. All subjects will remain in clinic for the duration of the Treatment Phase. Subjects will be discharged after all post-dose assessments are performed at End of Treatment (EOT), if considered medically suitable for discharge by the investigator.
4. Follow-up Visit (Visit 3) A follow-up visit will be conducted at 8 days (±2 days) after last study drug administration in the Treatment Phase or after early termination (EOS/ET) from the study.

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:

* Males or females, ages 18-55 years, inclusive, in good general health.
* Body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18.0 to 34.0 kg/m2, inclusive, and a minimum weight of 50.0 kg.
* Current opioid users who have used opioids for recreational (non-therapeutic) purposes (i.e., for psychoactive effects) at least 10 times in the past year and have used opioids at least once in the 12 weeks before Screening.
* Must not be physically dependent on opioids, as demonstrated by successful completion of the Naloxone Challenge Test.
* Must meet Drug Discrimination Test (Qualification Phase) eligibility criteria.
* Female subjects must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at admission to Visit 2. Post-menopausal women (i.e., no menstrual period for at least one year) must have a follicle-stimulation hormone (FSH) level \>40 milli-international unit (mIU)/mL at Screening.
* Female subjects of child-bearing potential must use an acceptable method of contraception, including abstinence from heterosexual intercourse, hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine device (IUD) with or without hormones, or double-barrier method (e.g., condom and spermicide), for 30 days prior to Screening, during the study and for 30 days following the last administration of study drug.
* Female subjects of non-childbearing potential should be surgically sterile (i.e., have undergone complete hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or tubal ligation) or in a menopausal state (at least 1 year without menses), as confirmed by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels of \> 40 IU/L.
* Male subjects must agree to use a double-barrier method (condom and spermicide) or agree to remain abstinent from heterosexual intercourse at the time of screening, during the study and for 90 days following the last administration of study drug.
* Male subjects must agree not to donate sperm during the study and for 90 days following the last administration of study drug.
* Subjects must be able to speak, read, and understand English sufficiently to allow completion of all study assessments.
* Subjects must be able to provide written informed consent.
* Subjects must be willing and able to follow study instructions and be likely to complete all study requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Substance or alcohol dependence (excluding nicotine and caffeine) within the past 2 years, as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Edition - Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) or a lifetime history of opioid dependence.
* Has ever participated or plans to participate in a substance or alcohol rehabilitation program to treat their substance or alcohol dependence. If participation in a rehabilitation program was court mandated as part of a plea agreement, entry may be permissible at an investigator's discretion.
* Positive urine drug screen (UDS) for substances of abuse at admission to the Qualification Phase, excluding for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). If a subject presents with a positive UDS at any visit, the subject may be rescheduled or the UDS may be repeated at the discretion of an investigator. If tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is positive, inclusion will be at the discretion of an investigator, as long as the investigator determines there is no acute intoxication upon presentation.
* History or presence of clinically significant abnormality as assessed by physical examination, medical history, electrocardiograms (ECGs), vital signs, or laboratory values, which, in the opinion of an investigator, would jeopardize the safety of the subject or the validity of the study results. Retesting may be permitted at the discretion of an investigator.
* History or presence of acute respiratory depression, chronic pulmonary disease, cor pulmonale, delirium tremens, central nervous system (CNS) depression or increased cerebrospinal or intracranial pressure.
