Brief summary
A Study to Compare the Bioavailability of Epinephrine following a Single Nasal Dose of FMXIN002 Microspheres Powder 3.6 mg, and 4mg with EpiPen 0.3mg Intramuscular Injection in Healthy Adults
Detailed description
An open-label trial in 12 healthy adults. FMXIN002 (3.6 mg and 4.0 mg) will be administered intranasally to healthy adults and compared to IM (0.3mg, EpiPen) by Epinephrine pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamic response and clinical safety.
