Clinical Trial Summary

In a recent study by Yuen et al it was shown that preoperative intranasal administration of dexmedetomidine is a useful alternative for oral midazolam in children. However, there is no information on the pharmacokinetics of dexmedetomidine after intranasal administration.

The aim of this study is to investigate the comparative pharmacokinetics of intranasally and intravenously administered dexmedetomidine in healthy volunteers. The absolute bioavailability of intranasally administered dexmedetomidine will be calculated. In addition, we will report the effects of intranasally and intravenously administered dexmedetomidine on plasma catecholamine levels, systemic blood pressure, heart rate and sedation. We will also monitor the local and systemic safety and tolerability of intranasally administered dexmedetomidine.
