Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To estimate pharmacokinetic parameters of lorazepam (AUC, Cmax, t½, tmax, CL/F and Vz/F) from the plasma concentration-time profile for intranasal and buccal administration routes in healthy adult volunteers.;Secondary Objective: To compare these pharmacokinetic parameters of lorazepam when administered by the buccal and intranasal routes and estimate their equivalence.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoints are determination of the plasma concentration-time profiles of lorazepam when administered by the intranasal and buccal routes. The following parameters will be estimated from the observed concentration-time profiles: AUC, Cmax, t½, tmax, CL/F and Vz/F where possible.
