Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of Jext compared with EpiPen for the proportion of subjects with a successful self-injection. And to evaluate and compare the handling characteristics of two auto-injectors (Jext and EpiPen).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Adrenaline: Session 1 Jext, 2 Epipen

Subjects will be randomised 1:1 to use Jext in session 1 and EpiPen in session 2.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Adrenaline auto-injector

Intervention Type DRUG

Each subject will be randomly assigned to use either the Jext or EpiPen first. The alternative auto-injector will then be used by the same subject in the second study session.

Valid for both Jext and Epipen:

Active ingredients: Adrenaline tartrate Dosage form: Prefilled auto-injector for single use, delivering one intramuscular injection Dose/strength: 150 μg Excipients: Sodium chloride, sodium metabisulphite (E223), hydrochloric acid (for pH adjustment), water

Adrenaline: Session 1 Epipen, 2 Jext

Subjects will be randomised 1:1 to use EpiPen in session 1 and Jext in session 2.
