Brief Summary

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

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

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

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.
