Brief summary

The study will assess the Pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of BGF MDI \[Budesonide/glycopyrronium/formoterol (BGF) metered dose inhaler (MDI)\] formulated with 2 different propellants :Hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) and Hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) with oral activated charcoal in healthy subjects (male or female).

Detailed description

This is a Phase I, randomized, double-blind, single-dose, single-center, partial-replicate, 3 way cross-over study. The study will comprise: * Screening period: up to 28 days prior to first dosing; * Three treatment periods : Subject will be resident in the Clinical Unit from the morning on the day before dosing with BGF MDI (Day 1 of Treatment Period 1), until 24 hours following the final dose (Day 2 of Treatment Period 3 a washout period of 3 to 7 days between each dose; * Follow-up: Within 3 to 7 days after the last administration of BGF MDI. Subjects will receive 3 single-dose treatments of BGF MDI \[Test formulation Treatment A (BGF MDI HFO); Reference formulation Treatment B (BGF MDI HFA)\] on Day 1 of each Treatment Period (1, 2, and 3) following an overnight fast of at least 8 hours. There will be a washout period of 3 to 7 days between each dose. Each subjects will be involved in the study for up to 55 days.

Interventions

DRUGTreatment A (BGF MDI HFO with oral activated charcoal)

Subject will receive 4 inhalations as a single dose with oral activated charcoal - test formulation; administered during 1 Treatment Period.

DRUGTreatment B (BGF MDI HFA with oral activated charcoal)

Time frame: Pre-dose, 2 minutes, 5 minutes,10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 12 h and 24 hours post-dose on Day 1 and Day 2 of each treatment period (each treatment period is of 2 days)

Population: The PK analysis set consisted of all randomized participants who had at least 1 primary PK parameter that could be calculated, and who had no important protocol deviations thought to impact on the analysis of the PK data. Here, number of participants analyzed refers to number analyzed for each specific outcome measure.
