Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase I interventional clinical trial and the aim will be to characterize the PK and PD of two formulations of naloxone (intranasal and intravenous) in healthy subjects, which will be used to verify/validate nasal-CNS-PBPK (Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic) model predictions following intranasal dosing.

Intervention

Drug:
• Intravenous naloxone
Nyoxid 1.8 mg nasal spray, solution in single-dose container. Study drugs (naloxone nasal spray and naloxone intravenously) will be administered in 8 subjects in two sequences in fasting conditions (10 hours pre-dose and 4 hours post dose): Intranasal -> washout period ->intravenous (n=4) and Intravenous ->washout period -> intranasal (n=4).
• Intranasal naloxone
Naloxone Kern Pharma 1 mg in total (from 0.4 mg/mL injectable solution). Study drugs (naloxone nasal spray and naloxone intravenously) will be administered in 8 subjects in two sequences in fasting conditions (10 hours pre-dose and 4 hours post dose): Intranasal -> washout period ->intravenous (n=4) and Intravenous ->washout period -> intranasal (n=4).
