Pharmacometric dose optimization of buprenorphine in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome

Abstract Results from Blinded Buprenorphine OR Neonatal morphine solution (BBORN), a previous phase III trial in infants with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), demonstrated that sublingual buprenorphine resulted in a shorter duration of treatment and shorter length of hospital stay than th...
