简要总结
A prospective dose escalation, nine period cross-over trial assessing the safety, pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of Remimazolam when administered intranasally as powder and solution in healthy subjects and compared to an intravenous control
详细描述
The design will be a randomized, double-blind, comparative, placebo- and active-controlled nine-period crossover study in healthy male volunteers. Subjects will be randomized and will receive each of the 9 treatments which will be separated by a minimum of 48 hours.The first treatment arm will always be the intravenous remimazolam. Eligible subjects will then be randomized to treatment sequence prior to study drug administration in treatment period 2. Each subject will participate in the study for up to 51 days, from Screening until Follow-up.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants with Treatment-related Adverse Events
时间窗: Predose until 180 minutes postdose
Adverse events assessment will include: change in clinical laboratory assessments from baseline, change in vital signs from baseline, change in 12-lead electrocardiograms from baseline, drop in oxygen saturation measured using continuous pulse oximetry, nasal effect using the Nasal Effect Questionnaire (NEQ) and nose and throat examination. Adverse events with a respiratory or cardiovascular focus and adverse events related to effects seen with medications known to be associated with abuse will be analysed separately. The intensity, causality, outcome, seriousness and expectedness of adverse events will be assessed
