Titan Pharmaceuticals and Molteni’s Sixmo (buprenorphine) subdermal implant for treating opioid addiction has earned European regulatory approval.
The device is now cleared in all European member states as a substitute treatment for clinically stable adults who require no more than eight milligrams of sublingual buprenorphine a day.
The subdermal implant, which delivers buprenorphine at a continuous rate for six months following insertion, received FDA approval in 2016 under the name Probuphine.
