Naldemedine: Administered as an oral tablet (0.2 mg dose level only), or oral suspension (all dose levels)
Study summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of naldemedine and nor-naldemedine after a single oral dose of naldemedine in pediatric participants who are receiving or about to receive opioids.

Exclusion Criteria:
Medical Conditions
