Not Applicable
Conditions

Allergy
Interventions
Drug: FMXIN002 single dose
Drug: Epinephrine autoinjector single dose
Drug: FMXIN002 single dose + NAC
Drug: Epinephrine autoinjector double dose
Drug: FMXIN002 double dose
Drug: FMXIN002 double dose + NAC
Registration Number
NCT07228325
Lead Sponsor
Nasus Pharma
Brief Summary

The study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) responses of FMXIN002, an intranasal epinephrine powder, compared with the EpiPen® intramuscular autoinjector, after single and double doses, in healthy adults with a history of allergic rhinitis.

Detailed Description

Fifty participants will receive single and repeat doses of both treatments under normal and nasal congestion conditions induced by nasal allergen challenge. The study will also assess the effect of repeat nasal dosing in the same versus opposite nostrils. PK parameters and hemodynamic responses will be measured, and safety and tolerability will be evaluated.
