Recruitment details

This was a single centre study conducted in the UK.

Pre-assignment details

Healthy subjects were assessed for eligibility at a screening visit (Visit 1) within 28 days of administration of the first dose of terbutaline via Bricanyl Turbuhaler M2 or Bricanyl Turbuhaler M3 (Visit 2). Subjects were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment sequences: M3 then M2 or M2 then M3

Outcome results

Primary

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Zero to the Time of Last Measurable Concentration [AUC(0-t)]

These will be taken at each treatment period

Time frame: Samples will be taken at predose, and at 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 100 minutes and at 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 hours postdose

Population: The PK analysis set included all healthy subjects who received at least 1 dose of the IMP and had at least 1 postdose PK measurement without important protocol deviations/violations or events thought to significantly affect the PK of the IMP.

ArmMeasureValue (GEOMETRIC_MEAN)

Comparison: No increase in the exposure of plasma terbutaline after administration of Bricanyl Turbuhaler M3 will be concluded if the upper bound of the 90% CIs for the ratios of AUC and Cmax are both below 1.2590% CI: [81.03, 96.02]
