Overview
Brief Summary
Primary objective of this study is to describe the plasma pharmacokinetics of midazolam after single intramuscular injection on bare skin in the thigh by the needle-free injector Zeneo® compared to injection on bare skin in the thigh by a conventional syringe (Reference) in terms of relative bioavailability and bioequivalence.
Detailed Description
Secondary objectives are: * To describe the plasma pharmacokinetics of midazolam after single intramuscular injection on bare skin in the ventrogluteal area by the needle-free injector Zeneo® compared to injection on bare skin in the thigh by a conventional syringe (Reference) in terms of relative bioavailability and bioequivalence. * To describe the plasma pharmacokinetics of midazolam after single intramuscular injection through clothing in the thigh by the needle-free injector Zeneo® compared to injection on bare skin in the thigh by a conventional syringe (Reference) in terms of relative bioavailability and bioequivalence. * To describe the plasma pharmacokinetics of midazolam after single intramuscular injection through clothing in the thigh by the needle-free injector Zeneo® compared to injection on bare skin in the thigh by the needle-free injector Zeneo® in terms of relative bioavailability and bioequivalence. * To describe the plasma pharmacokinetics of midazolam after single intramuscular injection on bare skin in the thigh by the needle-free injector Zeneo® compared to injection on bare skin in the ventrogluteal area by the needle-free injector Zeneo® in terms of relative bioavailability and bioequivalence * To assess and compare the pharmacokinetics of the major active metabolite 1'-OH midazolam after a single intramuscular injection i.m. administration when delivered by ZENEO®® orvs. administration by conventional syringe (Reference)conventional syringe with needle. * To assess and compare the pharmacokinetics of ZENEO® Midazolam (10mg / 0.625mL) administered in the thigh on bare skin and ZENEO® Midazolam (10mg / 0.625mL) administered in the thigh through clothing. * To assess safety and tolerability of midazolam after a single intramuscular injection single i.m. administration whenby delivered by ZENEO® vs. administrationor by conventional syringe (Reference) by conventional syringe with needle.
Investigators
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Healthy males and females, 18 to 59 years (inclusive) at screening.
- •Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18.5 and 29.9 kg/m2 (inclusive).
- •Body mass weight between 50 and 110 kg (inclusive)
- •Medical history, vital signs, physical examination, standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and laboratory investigations must be clinically acceptable or within laboratory reference ranges for the relevant laboratory tests, unless the investigator considers the deviation to be irrelevant for the purpose of the study.
- •Non-smokers or past-smokers who stopped at least 3 months before the study.
- •Female subject must be either of
- •non-childbearing potential: post-menopausal (defined as at least 1 year without any menses) prior to Screening, or documented surgically sterile or status post hysterectomy (at least 1 month prior to Screening).
- •or, if of childbearing potential, must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening and must use two forms of birth control (at least one of which must be a barrier method) starting at Screening and throughout the study period and for 28 days \[or 5 half-lives of the study drug whichever is longer\] after the final study drug administration. Acceptable forms of birth control include: placement of a non-hormonal intrauterine device or intrauterine system, 2) barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) or abstinence of male/female intercourse if it is a part of normal practice in her life.
- •The use of hormonal contraception in this study is not allowed. For male subjects contraception is not needed during this study.
- •Injection sites must be clear of tattoos, scars and moles.
Exclusion Criteria
- •Any history or evidence of any clinically significant cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrinologic, hematologic, hepatic, immunologic, metabolic, urologic, pulmonary, neurologic, dermatologic, psychiatric, renal, and/or other major disease, as judged by the Investigator.
- •Medical history of malignant disease (with the exception of localized skin or cervical carcinoma that had been excised and cured)
- •Any clinically significant abnormality following the Investigator's review of the physical examination, ECG and clinical study protocol-defined clinical laboratory tests at screening or admission to the clinical unit.
- •A pulse \< 40 or \> 100 bpm; mean systolic blood pressure \> 140 mmHg; mean diastolic blood pressure \> 90 mmHg (measurements taken in triplicate after subject has been resting in supine position for 5 minutes.
- •A mean corrected QT interval using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) interval \> 450 ms at screening. If the mean QTcF exceeds the limits above, one additional triplicate ECG may be taken. If this triplicate also gives an abnormal result, the subject should be excluded.
- •History of smoking within 3 months prior to the first admission to the clinical unit.
- •History of drinking more than 21 units of alcohol per week (1 unit = 10 g pure alcohol = 250 ml of beer \[5%\] or 35 ml of spirits \[35%\] or 100 ml of wine \[12%\]) within 3 months prior to the first admission to the clinical unit.
