TBS02: Terbutaline Sulfate in Adults With Asthma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The overall aim in Part 1 is to compare the pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamics (PD) relationship in intravenous (IV) versus subcutaneous (SQ) terbutaline sulfate to identify the optimal IV dosing range for use in Part 2.
The overall aim in Part 2 is to evaluate the optimal IV dosing of terbutaline sulfate based on PD response and safety data.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Terbutaline Arm A • Arm A: (n=6) IV bolus (0.25 mg) over 5 minutes SQ administration (0.25 mg) Participants in Part 1 Arms A and B (n=12) will be randomized to one of two treatment arms.No masking will be applied for Part 1 or for the SQ dosing in Part 2. All IV treatments in Part 2 will be masked, with exception to the unmasked study pharmacist, refer to the MOP for details. |

Experimental: Terbutaline Arm B • Arm B: (n=6) SQ administration (0.25 mg) IV bolus (0.25 mg) over 5 minutes Participants in Part 1 Arms A and B (n=12) will be randomized to one of two treatment arms.No masking will be applied for Part 1 or for the SQ dosing in Part 2. All IV treatments in Part 2 will be masked, with exception to the unmasked study pharmacist, refer to the MOP for details. |

Experimental: Terbutaline Arm C • Arm C: (n=6) SQ (0.25 mg) IV low dose over 5 minutes IV medium dose over 5 minutes IV high dose over 5 minutes Participants in Part 2 (n=18) will be randomized to one of three treatment arms. To maintain masking the first treatment will be 0.25 mg of study drug SQ, followed by one of three IV dose regimes (low, medium, high) below, which are estimated to be 0.1 mg, 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg, but may be adjusted based on the interim analysis completed in Part 1. No masking will be applied for Part 1 or for the SQ dosing in Part 2. All IV treatments in Part 2 will be masked, with exception to the unmasked study pharmacist, refer to the MOP for details. |
