Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
A cross-over design was chosen to yield a more efficient comparison of the IPs than a parallel study design, i.e., fewer subjects are required since each subject will serve as its own control. To avoid carryover effects, subjects will abstain from oral tobacco/nicotine products as well as smoking (cigarettes or e-cigarettes) for at least 12 hours prior to each IP use (Visit 2-4).
Randomisation will be used to minimise bias in the assignment of subjects to an IP administration sequence and to increase the likelihood that known and unknown subject attributes (e.g., demographic and baseline characteristics) are evenly balanced.
The main purpose of this study is to understand the PK as well as to analyse the nicotine content left in pouch after use of Ampli01 and compare with a reference product. This will give consumers a better understanding of the behaviour of the product with the aim to be a potential satisfactory alternative to cigarette smoking. In addition, the safety profile, PD and subjective effects will be investigated and evaluated.
In summary, this study will provide critical data to assess PK, safety and formulation optimization to be able to provide consumers with a high-quality product. In addition, this study will contribute to the overall knowledge about nicotine pouches that can be of scientific value to improve public health strategies and regulations.
The study will include 12 randomised and evaluable subjects. The subjects are healthy male or female oral tobacco/nicotine pouch users aged 25 to 55 years, inclusive, who have used oral tobacco/nicotine products for ≥1 year, with a minimum daily consumption of 5 or more pouches (pouch strength 3-9 mg/pouch). Each subject will participate in the study for up to approximately 6 weeks, including the up to 28-day screening period.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Ampli-01, 3 mg, nicotine pouch
Subjects will report to the study site for a screening visit followed by 3 visits with a single IP use (Visits 2 to 4) on separate days.There will be at least 1 day between Visits 2, 3 and 4, respectively, where the subjects are allowed ad libitum use of their own nicotine product of choice. Each visit will last one day.
Test product 1 - Test product 2 - Comparator product
Each subject will be randomised to 1 of 6 IP use sequences The IPs will be administered as single pouches in a pre-determined randomised order.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Subjects who have used oral tobacco/nicotine products for ≥1 year, with a minimum daily consumption of 5 or more pouches with a pouch strength of 3-9 mg nicotine/pouch. Concomitant occasional use of other nicotine products (e.g., smoking, vaping) is allowed, as judged by the Investigator at the time of the screening visit.
3. Healthy male or female subject aged 25 to 55 years, inclusive, at the time of the screening visit.
Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to use a sufficient contraceptive method for the duration of the study, this includes mechanical barrier (e.g., a male condom or a female diaphragm), combined \[oestrogen and progestogen containing\] hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation \[oral, intravaginal, transdermal\], progestogen-only hormonal anticonception associated with inhibition of ovulation \[oral, injectable, implantable\], intra uterine device (IUD) or intra uterine system (IUS). Sexual abstinence is allowed when this is the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject.
4. Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18.5 and ≤ 32.0 kg/m2 and a minimum weight of ≥ 50 kg.
5. Medically healthy subject without abnormal clinically significant medical history, physical findings, vital signs, ECG and laboratory values at the time of the screening visit, as judged by the Investigator.
6. Positive urine cotinine test (≥200 ng/mL) at the screening visit.
Exclusion Criteria
2. After 10 minutes supine rest at the screening visit, any vital signs values outside the following ranges: - Systolic blood pressure: \<90 or \>140 mmHg, or - Diastolic blood pressure \<50 or \>90 mmHg, or - Pulse \<40 or \>90 bpm
3. Any surgical or medical condition, including abnormal salivation (also pharmaceutically induced), or history thereof, which, in the judgment of the Investigator, might interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism or excretion of the IP or may either put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, influence the results, or the subject's ability to participate in the study.
