Summary

A 2-part open-label study to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of epinephrine administered as single and repeat doses of DESF in healthy adults with oral allergy syndrome (OAS). In both parts, subjects undergo an oromucosal allergen challenge prior to administration of DESF according to randomization into two cohorts. In Part 1, there are three treatment periods evaluating single and repeat doses of study drug, DESF after an allergen challenge (Treatment Period 1), intramuscular (IM) injection without allergen challenge (Treatment Period 2), and DESF without allergen challenge (Treatment Period 3). In Part 2, there are two treatment periods evaluating single and repeat doses of study drug, DESF after an allergen challenge (Treatment Period 1) and intramuscular (IM) injection without allergen challenge (Treatment Period 2).

Detailed description

This is a 2-Part, Phase 2, open-label, three-period, six-treatment, fixed sequence, stratified study conducted in healthy male and female adult subjects (age 18-55 years) who have oral allergy syndrome (OAS) designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of epinephrine administered as single and repeat doses of DESF with allergen-challenge induced oral physiological changes compared to the PK of epinephrine administered as single and repeat doses of intramuscular (IM) injection and single and repeat doses of DESF without allergen challenge. In both Part 1 and Part 2, all subjects undergo an allergen challenge prior to Treatment Period 1. Provided the allergen challenge elicits at least mild symptoms of oral physiological changes, subjects are randomized into one of two cohorts to receive either single or repeat doses of study drug throughout the study. Allergen Challenge: The oromucosal allergen challenge begins approximately 20 minutes before the expected administration of DESF. Subjects have a single food allergen known to trigger an allergic reaction in the subject placed on their tongue for up to 15 minutes after initial exposure to upper and lower lips and gums. Subjects keep the allergen in place for up to 15 minutes until symptoms are reported. The subjects are monitored from the start of the allergen challenge to determine severity of symptoms. The allergen is then removed from the mouth and within 5 minutes subjects rate their symptoms and DESF is administered. Part 1: Up to 36 subjects will be enrolled in Part 1. Treatment Period 1: Following the allergen challenge, subjects receive a single or repeat dose of DESF based on randomization. Treatment Period 2: Subjects who complete Treatment Period 1 and a minimum 24-hour washout period receive either a single or repeat dose of manual IM epinephrine injection without an allergen challenge based on the randomization. Treatment Period 3: Subjects who complete Treatment Period 1 and Treatment Period 2 undergo a minimum 14-day washout period from Treatment Period 1. Subjects are administered a single or repeat dose of DESF without an allergen challenge based on randomization. Part 2: Up to 12 subjects who have completed Part 1 (6 from each cohort) may continue to Part 2. Treatment Period 1: Following the allergen challenge, subjects receive a single or repeat dose of DESF based on randomization in Part 1. Treatment Period 2: Subjects who complete Treatment Period 1 and a minimum 24-hour washout period receive either a single or repeat dose of manual IM epinephrine injection without an allergen challenge based on the randomization.
