Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to estimate the difference in the time to onset of action between Staccato alprazolam and intravenous (iv) midazolam using changes in power in the combined spindle and β1 frequency bands in the qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram).
