The primary purpose of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of buprenorphine/naloxone alone and buprenorphine/naloxone in combination with a single dose of ASP8062. This study also assessed the potential for pharmacokinetic interaction between ASP8062 and buprenorphine/naloxone.
Participants were screened for up to 28 days prior to first investigational product (IP) administration. Eligible participants were admitted to the clinical unit on day -1 and were residential for a single period of 27 days/26 nights. Participants were discharged from the clinical unit after completion of down-titration on the condition that all required assessments were performed and that there were no medical reasons for a longer stay in the clinical unit; which was the end-of-study visit (ESV). Prior to discharge, participants were provided with local buprenorphine and methadone providers for their reference.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an Investigational Product (IP) and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding; abnormal laboratory test result or other safety assessment, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was defined as an AE with onset at any time from first dosing until last scheduled procedure. AEs were considered serious (SAEs) if the AE resulted in death, was life-threatening, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, resulted in congenital anomaly, or birth defect or required inpatient hospitalization or led to prolongation of hospitalization.
Time frame: From first dose of study drug up to end of study visit (up to day 27)
Number of Participants With Suicidal Ideation and/or Suicidal Behavior as Assessed by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)
The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a clinician administered assessment tool that evaluates suicidal ideation and behavior. Number of participants that have an affirmative response to the 5 items for suicidal ideation (1. Wish to be dead, 2. Non-specific active suicidal thoughts, 3. Active suicidal ideation with any methods (not plan) without intent to act, 4. Active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan, 5. Active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) and/or to the 5 items for suicidal behavior (1. Preparatory acts or behavior, 2. Aborted attempt, 3. Interrupted attempt, 4. Actual attempt, 5. Completed suicide) were reported.
Time frame: Up to day 27
