A study in healthy young adults to compare how safe, well-tolerated, and effective INNA-051 is when given using either a single-use or a multi-use nasal spray system, and to understand participants’ experiences with each.
An Open Labelled, Randomised Crossover Study to Compare the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and User Experience of Intranasal INNA-051 Delivered by Single Use or Multi-use Nasal Spray Systems in Healthy Young Adults.

Conditions
Summary
INNA-051 is being developed to prevent or minimise illness from viral respiratory infections like the common cold, flu or COVID-19. The study is being performed in adults aged 18 to 45 years inclusive to assess the safety, tolerability and effects of INNA-051 dry powder administered intranasally by two systems (single use and multi-use) on Day 1 and Day 8 differing by treatment sequence in cohort 1 and cohort 2, and to understand participants’ experiences with each.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria6
- Adults greater than or equal to 18 and less than or equal to 45 years of age at the time of providing written informed consent.
- Participants of Childbearing Potential (POCBP) must be either surgically sterile, be in exclusively same-sex relationships, practice true abstinence, or must agree to use highly effective birth control starting in the Screening period through at least 30 days following the last dose of study treatment.
- Male participants with partners of childbearing potential must be surgically sterile, or must agree to use highly effective birth control starting in the Screening period through at least 30 days following the last dose of study treatment.
- Without clinically defined disease, as determined by a responsible and experienced physician, based on a medical evaluation including medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring. A participant with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range for the population being studied may be included only if the Investigator agrees that the finding is unlikely to introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere with the study procedures.
- Body weight greater than or equal to 50 kg and body mass index (BMI) 18 to 34.9 kg/m2 (inclusive).
- Willing and able to comply with the study requirements.
Exclusion Criteria16
- History or findings on physical examination of any significant disease or disorder (e.g. cardiovascular, nasal, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, liver, renal, neurological, immunological, musculoskeletal, endocrine, metabolic, malignant psychiatric, major physical impairment) which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may put the subject at risk because of participation in the study, influence the results of the study or the participant’s ability to participate in the study.
- History of or evidence at Screening or Day -1 of tachyarrhythmias, heart block, or ischemic changes, which are clinically significant or pose a risk to the participant or the study in the Investigator’s opinion.
- Clinically significant abnormal laboratory assessments at Screening or Day -1.
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding based on test result during Screening period.
- Chronic tobacco use (5 pack-years or more*), chronic cannabis smoking, and/or chronic vaping (defined as use 3 or more days/week) within 60 days prior to Screening, and/or positive urine cotinine and/or exhaled carbon monoxide test at admission. *Pack-years is defined as the number of cigarette packs smoked per day (20 cigarettes per pack) multiplied by the number of years smoking that amount.
- Nasal conditions likely to affect the outcome of the study, e.g. nasal septal perforation, nasal polyps, other nasal malformations, or history of frequent nosebleeds.
- Medical condition, injury, or deformity of the hands that prevents use of the administration system.
- Active rhinitis, including allergic, non-allergic rhinitis and rhinosinusitis, within the 30 days prior to Screening, or between Screening and Day -1.
- Upper respiratory tract infection or nasal symptoms within the 3 weeks prior to Screening, or between Screening and Day -1.
- Positive test result for human immunodeficiency virus, active hepatitis B virus, or hepatitis C virus.
- Administration of any intranasal and/or inhaled product, including vaccines, antihistamines and decongestants within the 7 days prior to dosing.
- Use of acute prescription or non-prescription drugs within 7 days prior to dosing, unless in the opinion of the Investigator the medication will not interfere with the study procedures or compromise subject safety. Participants on chronic medications may be included if the medication has been stable for at least 6 weeks prior to screening and is expected to remain stable during the study period and does not pose a risk to the participant in the Investigator’s opinion.
- Positive drug test or alcohol breath test at Screening or Day -1, unless assessed as due to an allowed concomitant medication, and/or significant history of alcohol or drug abuse within the 12 months prior to Screening.
- Received an investigational product within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to baseline, or concurrent participation in other clinical trials.
- History of drug or other allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator or Sponsor Medical Monitor, contraindicates participation in this study.
- Inability to communicate properly, to understand the requirements of the study, or to stay in the trial unit for the required period.

Interventions
Cohort 1 - Participants will receive INNA-051 600 µg total dose (300 µg per nostril) delivered by the Aptar UDSp system on Day 1 and Therakind DriDose® Multi-dose Cartridge system on Day 8. Cohort 2 - Participants will receive INNA-051 600 µg total dose (300 µg per nostril) delivered by the Therakind DriDose® Multi-dose Cartridge system on Day 1 and the Aptar UDSp system on Day 8. Each cohort with have 10 participants. All intranasal doses will be self-administered by participants after training is provided by site personnel. For the Aptar UDSp system, INNA-051 will be presented as a dry powder for insufflation, with 10 mg of powder packaged into each single use system. One dose (600 µg) consists of the administration of 1 system to each nostril (300 µg per nostril). A total of 2 systems will be used to deliver a total dose of 600 µg. For the Therakind DriDose® Multi-dose Cartridge system, INNA-051 10mg dry powder is pre-filled into single use, disposable cartridges, which are loaded into the system for administration. One dose (600 µg) consists of the administration of one cartridge to each nostril (300 µg per nostril). After the administration of the dose to the first nostril, the empty cartridge is removed and replaced with a new filled cartridge. The second cartridge must be administered to the opposite nostril from the first. One (1) system and 2 cartridges will be used to deliver a total dose of 600 µg.
