About this study

Official title: A Two Part Study Investigating the Safety and pk of Single Ascending Doses of Staccato Granisetron (AZ-010) and Crossover Comparison of the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of AZ-010 and Intravenous Granisetron in Healthy Volunteers

This study was conducted in 2 parts in separate treatment groups of healthy volunteers. Part A of the study was double-blind, randomized, and placebo-controlled; Part B is open label.

The primary objectives for each part were as follows:

Read more

Part A:

  1. To examine the tolerability and safety of single ascending doses up to 3 mg of AZ-010 (Staccato Granisetron) in healthy volunteers
  2. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single ascending doses up to 3 mg of AZ-010 in healthy volunteers

Part B:

  1. To compare the PK and safety of a single dose of 1 mg of AZ-010 with that of 1 mg granisetron hydrochloride intravenous (IV) injection in healthy volunteers.

The 2 parts to the study were performed sequentially.

Read the detailed description

Part A assessed single ascending orally inhaled doses of AZ-010 in a double-blind, placebo controlled design. The planned AZ-010 doses to be studied were 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and 3 mg delivered from 1 device each.

There were 3 cohorts of at least 8 subjects each, with at least 2 males and 2 females in each cohort. Each subject received a single dose of AZ-010, or matching Staccato® placebo; 6 subjects received AZ-010 and 2 subjects received Staccato® placebo per cohort.

Upon completion of each cohort, a review of the in-clinic safety and tolerability data was performed by the Principal Investigator (PI), Medical Monitor, and an independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) to determine if there were adequate safety and tolerability data to support escalation to the next dose up to 3 mg.

Safety was evaluated by the PI, Medical Monitor, and DSMB upon completion of Part A and prior to start of Part B. PK data were analyzed and assessed through blood samples obtained for Parts A and B.

Part B Approximately 12 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this 2-period, 2-treatment open-label crossover design study assessing the PK profiles of AZ-010 (1 mg) and IV granisetron (1 mg).

Eligible consenting subjects were randomized to 1 of 2 treatment sequences, with a total of 12 subjects (6 subjects in each sequence, with at least 2 males and 2 females in each sequence).

Treatment periods were separated by at least a 3-day washout between doses.

Part A: Cohort 1ExperimentalA single oral dose of 0.5 mg AZ-010 (Staccato Granisetron) administered to 8 subjects, with at least 2 males and 2 females. Each subject received a single dose of 0.5 mg AZ-010, or matching Staccato® placebo; 6 subjects received AZ-010 and 2 subjects received Staccato® placebo. Upon completion of the cohort, a review of the in-clinic safety and tolerability data was performed by the PI, Medical Monitor, and an independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) to determine if there were adequate safety and tolerability data to support escalation to the next dose. Safety was evaluated by the PI, Medical Monitor, and DSMB upon completion of Part A and prior to start of Part B. Each subject participated for up to 4 weeks, depending upon the timing of screening. Subjects were confined to the clinic for 4 days (3 nights). A follow-up phone call was conducted, approximately 7 days after the subject left the CRU.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 1mg AZ-010, 3mg AZ-010 and AZ-010 1mg in people with Healthy, run by Nova Pneuma Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 16 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]). (time frame: 3 days). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
