Allergy, Anaphylaxis
Conditions
Brief summary
The study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) responses of FMXIN002, an intranasal epinephrine powder, compared with the EpiPen® intramuscular autoinjector, after single and double doses, in healthy adults with a history of allergic rhinitis.
Detailed description
Fifty participants will receive single and repeat doses of both treatments under normal and nasal congestion conditions induced by nasal allergen challenge. The study will also assess the effect of repeat nasal dosing in the same versus opposite nostrils. PK parameters and hemodynamic responses will be measured, and safety and tolerability will be evaluated.
Interventions
DRUGFMXIN002 single dose
Single dose of FMXIN002 epinephrine microspheres powder for nasal application, 4.0 mg, at normal conditions.
DRUGEpinephrine autoinjector single dose
Epinephrine IM autoinjector 0.3mg
DRUGFMXIN002 single dose + NAC
Single dose of FMXIN002 epinephrine microspheres powder for nasal application, 4.0 mg, after Nasal Allergenic Challenge (NAC)
DRUGEpinephrine autoinjector double dose
Repeated doses of Epinephrine IM autoinjector 0.3mg, 10 minutes apart
DRUGFMXIN002 double dose
Double doses of FMXIN002 epinephrine microspheres powder for nasal application, 4.0 mg, at normal conditions, 10 minutes apart.
DRUGFMXIN002 double dose + NAC
Double doses of FMXIN002 epinephrine microspheres powder for nasal application, 4.0 mg, after Nasal Allergenic Challenge, 10 minutes apart.
