Brief summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and pharmacokinetics of inhaled prochlorperazine

Detailed description

The objective of this study was to evaluate the tolerability, safety, and pharmacokinetics of a single, inhaled dose of prochlorperazine (PCZ), administered as 1 or 2 puffs in healthy young volunteers.

Inclusion criteria

* Subjects will be male or female subjects between the ages 18 to 45 years, inclusive in good general health as determined by medical history, physical examination, 12-lead ECG, spirometry, blood chemistry profile, hematology, urinalysis and in the opinion of the Principal Investigator.

Exclusion criteria

* Subjects with a known history of allergy or intolerance to phenothiazines or related drugs or who have any disease, by history, physical examination, or laboratory abnormalities that in the investigator's opinion, would present undue risk to the subject, or may confound the interpretation of study results.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Absolute Bioavailability of Inhaled Prochlorperazine24 hoursAbsolute bioavailability of inhaled prochlorperazine via AUC infinity
Dose Proportionality of Inhaled Prochlorperazine by Power Analysis24 hoursDose proportionality by power analysis examines the linear regression of the log-AUC versus log-Dose on a by-patient basis across all doses administered. The slope and 90% confidence interval (CI) provide a clear, quantitative (best practices) assessment of the relationship of drug delivered to dose administered. The units on such analyses are generally those of slope (rise over run), with 1.000 being perfect. Although any positive slope might be considered clinically useful, a 90% CI within the criteria of 0.800-1.250 may be considered a delivery system which is as good as it gets.
