First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 04, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety of a nalmefene implant in 24 healthy adults. Nalmefene is a drug that blocks opioid effects, and the implant slowly releases it over weeks. The goal is to see if the implant is safe and how the drug moves through the body, which will guide future studies in people with opioid addiction.
