About

This is a Phase 1 study to compare the pharmacokinetics of budesonide and albuterol delivered by PT027 compared with PT007 and PT008 administered separately.

Full description

This study will be a randomized, 3-way cross-over study in healthy male and female participants, performed at a single study centre. A total of 90 healthy male or female participants will be randomized in this study to ensure that at least 81 participants are evaluable.

The study will comprise:

A screening period of maximum 27 days; Three treatment periods during which participants will be resident from the morning before dosing with Budesonide/Albuterol Sulfate metered dose inhaler (BDA MDI), Budesonide metered dose inhaler (BD MDI), and Albuterol Sulfate metered dose inhaler (AS MDI [Day -1]) until at least 24 hours after dosing; discharged on the morning of Day 2; and A final visit within 5 to 7 days after the last administration of BDA MDI, BD MDI, or AS MDI.

There will be a minimum washout period of 7 days between each dose administration.

Enrollment: 91 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 55 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

14. Plasma donation within 1 month of screening or any blood donation/loss more than 500 mL during the 3 months prior to screening.
15. History of severe allergy/hypersensitivity or ongoing allergy/hypersensitivity, as judged by the PI or history of hypersensitivity to drugs with a similar chemical structure or class to budesonide and albuterol sulfate.
16. Current smokers or those who have smoked or used nicotine products (including e cigarettes) within the 3 months prior to screening.
17. Positive screen for drugs of abuse, cotinine or alcohol at the Screening Visit or on each admission to the Clinical Unit.
18. Use of drugs with enzyme-inducing properties such as St John's Wort within 3 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP.
19. Use of any prescribed or non prescribed medication including antacids, analgesics (other than paracetamol/acetaminophen), herbal remedies, megadose vitamins (intake of 20 to 600 times the recommended daily dose) and minerals during the 2 weeks prior to the first administration of IMP or longer if the medication has a long half life.
20. Known or suspected history of alcohol or excessive intake of alcohol in the last 2 years as judged by the PI.
21. Involvement of any AstraZeneca, PAREXEL or study site employee or their close relatives.
22. Judgment by the PI that the participant should not participate in the study if they have any ongoing or recent (i.e., during the screening period) minor medical complaints that may interfere with the interpretation of study data or are considered unlikely to comply with study procedures, restrictions, and requirements.
