About this study

This study will be an inpatient, double-blind, randomized, crossover study involving 14 healthy volunteers. Each subject will receive 4 treatments during the 4 dosing periods.Subjects will stay in the inpatient facility for 17 days to complete the entire study and be discharged following completion of discharge procedures at the end of the last period. Subjects will be called 3 to 5 days after discharge to inquire concerning adverse events and concomitant medications since discharge. After obtaining informed consent, subject will be screened for eligibility. ON the day after clinic admission, subjects will be administered the intranasal-formulated drug in randomized order with 4 days between doses; the intramuscular dose will be administered during the fourth (last) treatment period.
