Comparative PK/PD of FMXIN002 and EpiPen, in Healthy Adults With Allergic Rhinitis

The study will evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) responses of FMXIN002, an intranasal epinephrine powder, compared with the EpiPen® intramuscular autoinjector, after single and double doses, in healthy adults with a history of allergic rhinitis.

About this study

Fifty participants will receive single and repeat doses of both treatments under normal and nasal congestion conditions induced by nasal allergen challenge. The study will also assess the effect of repeat nasal dosing in the same versus opposite nostrils. PK parameters and hemodynamic responses will be measured, and safety and tolerability will be evaluated.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
