Preclinical Assessment of Naloxone Adequacy to Reverse Polysubstance Use-Induced Respiratory Depression — In Vivo Validation

Solicitation # 75F40126Q00382

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is issuing a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Charles River Laboratories for a twelve month preclinical study. The research aims to evaluate the efficacy of naloxone and alternative reversal agents in treating respiratory depression caused by polysubstance use, specifically addressing the prevalence of fentanyl adulterated with xylazine, d-methamphetamine, or alprazolam. The study will utilize male CD rats to simultaneously measure respiratory and cardiovascular changes, as these systems are closely linked during drug-induced respiratory failure. The project consists of a four-phase in vivo study involving surgically instrumented animals. Key tasks include using whole body plethysmography for respiratory monitoring and implanted telemetry for continuous cardiovascular data collection. The contractor is responsible for collecting blood samples at five prespecified time points for pharmacokinetic analysis to be performed by the FDA. All work will be conducted in an AAALAC-accredited facility under non-GLP conditions, with statistical analysis performed via ANOVA.
