What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. DHE Relative Bioavailability

    The relative bioavailability of STS101 5.2, 7.0, and 8.6 mg (test treatments) to 1.0 mg DHE mesylate IM injection (reference treatment) and to 2.0 mg DHE mesylate IN spray (reference treatment) was assessed on the basis of dose-corrected Cmax.

    Time frame: Pre-dose through 48 hours Post-Dose

  2. DHE Comparative Bioavailability

    The comparative bioavailability STS101 5.2, 7.0, and 8.6 mg (test treatments) to 1.0 mg DHE mesylate IM injection (reference treatment) and to 2.0 mg DHE mesylate IN spray (reference treatment) was assessed on the basis of Cmax .

    Time frame: Pre-dose through 48 hours Post-Dose

Secondary outcomes

  1. Serious Adverse Events

    To assess the safety profile through examination of serious adverse events of single doses of STS101; 1 mg DHE administered by intramuscular injection, and 2 mg DHE administered as nasal spray

    Time frame: Pre-dose through 48 hours Post-Dose

  2. Treatment-Related Adverse Events

    To assess the safety profile through examination of treatment-related adverse events of single doses of STS101; 1 mg DHE administered by intramuscular injection, and 2 mg DHE administered as nasal spray

    Time frame: Pre-dose through 48 hours Post-Dose
