A Study of Olanzapine After Intranasal and Intramuscular Administration
- Registration Number
- NCT06600477
- Lead Sponsor
- Neurelis, Inc.
- Brief Summary
NRL-4, a nasal spray formulation of the atypical antipsychotic olanzapine is being developed by Neurelis Inc. for use as a rescue medication for acute episodes of agitation in schizophrenia, schizoaffective and bipolar I disorder. Also being tested are different concentrations of Intravail A3. Intravail A3 belongs to a class of nonionic surfactants known as alkylglycosides. Alkylglycosides have been extensively studied for their ability to promote increased bioavailability of drugs via the nasal, oral, and ocular routes.
In this study it will be tested if the olanzapine in the two Test products will show comparable pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability in comparison to the Reference product through the primary pharmacokinetic parameters Cmax, AUC from time 0 to time t and AUC from time 0 to infinity, and safety assessments, including nasal irritation, sedation and pain scales.
