local nasal tolerability and safety study of 1146a in healthy adult participants

Conditions: Common Cold

Summary: this will be a single-center, randomized, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to assess the local nasal tolerability and safety of multiple administrations of topically (intranasally) administered 1146a delivered by a nasal spray applicator in healthy adult participants

deformed hands and fingers; missing fingers), nasal disease(s) likely to affect deposition of intranasal medication, such as acute or chronic sinusitis, rhinitis medicamentosa, clinically significant polyposis, or clinically significant nasal structural abnormalities * known or suspected intolerance or hypersensitivity to any of the study medications, excipients, investigational device material, or to medications of similar chemical classes, any history of drug hypersensitivity, asthma, urticaria, or other significant allergic diathesis, known or suspected contraindications, including history of allergy, or photosensitivity to study medication/s * participation in another clinical study (including cosmetic studies) or receipt of an investigational drug within 30 days of screening or 5 half-lives of the other clinical studies investigational drug, whichever is longer, previously enrolled in the current study * current smoker or smoked or used nicotine containing products within 5 years of screening, history (within 5 years prior to study start) or evidence of illicit drug abuse or if the investigator suspects current drug use with drug classes that include but are not limited to barbiturates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cocaine, opiates, cannabis or any other illicit drugs (verified by urine drug screening or other reliable evidence), history or evidence of current alcohol abuse or if participant reports a regular average alcohol consumption exceeding 18 g (women) or 35 g (men) of pure alcohol per day, i.e. 1 drink/day for women or 2 drinks/day for men (1 drink = 150 ml of wine or 360 ml of beer or 45 ml of hard liquor) within 6 months of screening * non-acceptance of standardized food and beverages throughout each confined study period, ingestion of food containing poppy seeds (muffins, bagels, cakes, etc) within 24 hours of admission to the study site * persons directly or indirectly involved in the execution of this protocol, including employees of the contract research organization (cro) and persons related to them, an employee of the sponsor or the study site or members of their immediate family * on nasal examination, the presence of any superficial or moderate nasal mucosal erosion, nasal mucosal ulceration, or nasal septum perforation (grade 1b - 4) during the screening visit or day -1, participants with difficulty in using the nasal spray applicator, "vulnerable" individual (as defined by the institutional review board (irb) e.g. incarcerated person), any condition not identified in the protocol that in the opinion of the investigator would confound the evaluation and interpretation of the study data or may put the participant at risk, no consumption of alcohol-containing products within 24 hours before confinement and throughout confined study period
