Abstract
Background: Standard of care for anaphylaxis treatment is intramuscular (IM) epinephrine. An epinephrine nasal spray (ENS) is under development as an alternative form of administration.
Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PD) profile of 13.2 mg ENS with 0.3 mg IM epinephrine autoinjector.
Methods: Data from 4 open-label phase 1 crossover studies conducted in healthy adults were pooled to determine the pharmacokinetic and PD profile of a single 13.2 mg ENS dose delivered by 2 consecutive sprays of 6.6 mg each in opposite (n = 224 doses) or the same nostril (n = 75 doses) compared with the 0.3 mg IM autoinjector (n = 215 doses). Each participant served as their own control. Blood samples and vital signs were collected predose and at multiple intervals from 0 to 360 minutes postdose.
Results: ENS rapidly increased the plasma epinephrine concentration, with levels that were overall greater than IM autoinjector. Median (range) time to maximum plasma epinephrine concentration with ENS opposite nostrils, ENS same nostril, and IM autoinjector was 25.1 (1.3-362.1), 20.1 (3.0-120.2), and 20.0 (1.0-121.3) minutes, respectively. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve for 0 to 360 minutes was significantly higher with ENS than with the IM autoinjector (geometric mean ratio [90% CI], 155% [140%-172%] with ENS opposite nostrils, 159% [138%-182%] with ENS same nostril). The PD effects on heart rate and blood pressure were similar in pattern and magnitude among all 3 treatment groups.
Conclusions: ENS rapidly achieved plasma epinephrine levels greater and more sustained than the IM autoinjector and with a similar PD effect.
期刊介绍:
JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases.
This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders.
The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
