Brief summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety profiles of A006, an Albuterol dry powder inhaler (DPI), following a single dose of 110 mcg (T1) or 220 mcg (T2), in healthy male and female adult volunteers.

Detailed description

This study is a randomized, double or evaluator-blinded, single dose, four-arm, crossover PK study in eighteen (18) healthy volunteers, both male and female adults, at 18-40 years of age. All candidates will be screened and only those who satisfy all enrollment criteria will be enrolled into this study. Each study subject will participate in a screening visit and four (4) study visits with one (1) randomized study treatment given in each visit. PK samples will be analyzed with an established LC/MS/MS method. An End-of-Study (EOS) safety evaluation will be conducted at the end of Study Visit-4.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Area Under the Curve of Drug Concentration versus Time (AUC[0-t])Within 30 minutes prior to dosing (baseline) to 8 hours post-doseSubject PK blood samples will be taken prior to dosing and at multiple time points, up to 8 hours after dosing during each treatment period. PK samples will be analyzed using a validated test method. Area under the curve of the drug concentration versus time curve (AUC\[0-t\]) for each treatment period will be calculated using the trapezoidal rule.
Peak Plasma Concentration (C[max])Within 30 minutes prior to dosing (baseline) to 8 hours post-doseSubject PK blood samples will be taken prior to dosing and at multiple time points, up to 8 hours after dosing during each treatment period. PK samples will be analyzed using a validated test method. Peak plasma concentration (C\[max\]) will be the highest concentration of Albuterol during each treatment period.
Time to Reach Peak Plasma Concentration (t[max])Within 30 minutes prior to dosing (baseline) to 8 hours post-doseSubject PK blood samples will be taken prior to dosing and at multiple time points, up to 8 hours after dosing during each treatment period. PK samples will be analyzed using a validated test method. Time to reach peak plasma concentration (t\[max\]) will be the time it takes to reach the highest concentration of Albuterol during each treatment period.
Plasma Albuterol Concentrations at All Time PointsWithin 30 minutes prior to dosing (baseline) to 8 hours post-doseSubject PK blood samples will be taken prior to dosing and at multiple time points, up to 8 hours after dosing during each treatment period. PK samples will be analyzed using a validated test method. Plasma Albuterol concentrations at these time points will be reported during each treatment period.

According to FDA guidelines, a serious ADE will refer to any adverse drug experience occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes: 1) death; 2) a life-threatening adverse drug experience; 3) inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; 4) persistent or significant disability/incapacity; 5) congenital anomaly/birth defect; 6) other important medical events that may jeopardize the subject or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition. ADEs will be followed until stabilized/resolved or 30 days from the date the subject has finished the study, whichever is sooner.
