Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is a phase 1, open-label, crossover, comparison study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single IM administration of 10 mg midazolam using Rafa's auto-injector compared with seizalam in healthy adults. All subjects will participate in both study periods which will span 28 days following a pre study screening visit.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/Treatment

Active Comparator: Seizalam™ Seizalam, 10 mg	Drug: Seizalam; Seizalam, 10 mg

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

1. number of participants with local injection site changes [28 days]

2. number of participants with systemic changes in physical exam [28 days]

3. number of participants with vital signs changes resulting in a serious adverse event [28 days]

4. number of participants with ECG changes resulting in a serious adverse event [28 days]

5. number of participants with laboratory changes resulting in a serious adverse event [28 days]

6. time to reach Cmax (Tmax) will be obtained directly from the plasma concentration-time profile data for each patient following IM injection [28 days]

7. The elimination rate constant (ke) will be estimated [28 days]

8. The AUC from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration (AUC0-last) and the AUC from time zero to infinite time (AUC0-∞) [28 days]

Secondary Outcome Measures

1. Relative bioavailability will be obtained by analysis of Cmax [28 days]

2. Relative bioavailability will be obtained by analysis of AUC0-last [28 days]

3. Relative bioavailability will be obtained by analysis of AUC0-∞ [28 days]
