Brief Summary

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

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

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Generally healthy, male and female adults, 18-40 years of age at Screening;
* Having no clinically significant respiratory, cardiovascular and other systemic or organic illnesses;
* Body weight ≥ 50 kg for men and ≥ 45 kg for women, and BMI within the range of 18.5 - 30.0 kg/m2 inclusive;
* Sitting blood pressure ≤ 135/90 mmHg;
* Demonstrating negative HIV, HBsAg and HCV tests, alcohol and nine panel urine drug screen tests;
* Demonstrating proficiency in the use of DPI and MDI or able to be trained in the proper use of these devices;
* Demonstrating Peak Inspiratory Flow Rate (PIF) within 80-150 L/min (after training), for at least 2 times consecutively, with a maximum of 5 attempts;
* Having no known hypersensitivity to any ingredients of A006 and Proventil® MDI (Albuterol, sulfate, lactose, milk protein, HFA-134a, oleic acid, or ethanol). (Subjects must be able to tolerate at least one teaspoon of milk);
* Women of child-bearing potential must be non-pregnant, non-lactating, and practicing a clinically acceptable form of birth control; and

Exclusion Criteria

* A smoking history of ≥ 5 pack-years, or having smoked within 6 months prior to Screening;
* Upper respiratory tract infections within 2 weeks, or lower respiratory tract infection within 4 weeks, prior to Screening;
* Previous history of asthma or COPD;
* Any current or recent respiratory conditions that, per investigator discretion, might significantly affect pharmacodynamic response to the study drugs, including cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, emphysema, and other significant respiratory diseases;
* Concurrent clinically significant cardiovascular, hematological, renal, neurologic, hepatic, endocrine, psychiatric, malignant, or other illnesses that in the opinion of the investigator could impact on the conduct, safety and evaluation of the study;
* ECG at Screening and Visit-1 baseline expressed any single or multiple premature ventricular contractions (PVC);
* ECG at Screening and Visit-1 baseline with a QTc reading greater than 450ms;
* Use of prohibited drugs or failure to observe the drug washout restrictions; and
* Having been on other clinical drug/device studies or donated blood in the last 30 days prior to Screening.
