Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Version 22.0 or higher.
Screening through to follow up so approx. 66 days
Safety and tolerability of inhaled epinephrine in healthy participants measured through percentage of subjects with abnormal and clinically significant abnormal hematology values.
Screening through to follow up so approx. 66 days
Safety and tolerability of inhaled epinephrine in healthy participants measured through PR interval in ECG Assessment.
Screening through to follow up so approx. 66 days

PR interval is the period, measured in milliseconds, that extends from the beginning of the P wave (the onset of atrial depolarization) until the beginning of the QRS complex (the onset of ventricular depolarization)

Change in Baseline of heart rate will be monitored from 15 minutes prior to each dosing (to establish baseline) through safety continuous cardiac monitoring (Telemetry) at timepoints to match the pharmacokinetic blood draws.
Screening through to follow up so approx. 66 days
Safety and tolerability of inhaled epinephrine in healthy participants measured through Functional Vital Capacity (FVC) in the Lung Function test assessment.
Screening through to follow up so approx. 66 days

Secondary Endpoints

To determine the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of inhaled epinephrine in healthy participants through time to maximum observed epinephrine concentration (Tmax).
Day 1, Day 2, Day16 and Day 30
To determine the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of inhaled epinephrine in healthy participants by plasma concentration-time profiles (Cmax).
Day 1, Day 2, Day16 and Day 30
To determine the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of inhaled epinephrine in healthy participants through Area under curve (AUC0-t).
Day 1, Day 2, Day16 and Day 30

Frequently asked questions about EpiPen

What is EpiPen used for?

EpiPen is used for anaphylactic reaction, a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic response. It is being studied as a treatment for this condition. The drug is currently in clinical development and is not yet approved for use.

Who makes EpiPen?

EpiPen is being developed by Cardinal Health, Inc., which is publicly traded under the ticker symbol CAH. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in treating anaphylactic reactions.

What phase is EpiPen in?

EpiPen is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not yet been approved by regulatory authorities. The Phase 1 trial has been completed, and the drug is still in the early stages of clinical testing.

What clinical trials is EpiPen in?

EpiPen has one completed Phase 1 clinical trial, NCT05152901, which studied inhaled epinephrine and intramuscular epinephrine in healthy adults. The trial enrolled 23 participants in Australia and was active-controlled, meaning it compared the drug against an active comparator.

Is EpiPen the same as epinephrine?

EpiPen is a brand name for a drug containing epinephrine, also known as adrenaline. The clinical trial NCT05152901 studied both inhaled and intramuscular forms of epinephrine. The drug is being developed as a small molecule for the treatment of anaphylactic reactions.
