Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Primary objective: To find the optimal dose of physostigmine, providing subjective and objective effects on salivation. ;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives: To establish the dose dependency of subjective effects on salivation of four different different doses of physostigmine. To assess safety of oromucosal application of physostigmine. ;Primary end point(s): Phase A: Subjective assessments of dryness of the mouth, taste and burning sensation in the mouth after different doses of physostigmine or placebo Phase B: Objective measurement of saliva volume output after an optimal dose of physostigmine or placebo.
