Brief Summary

This was a phase 1, open label, multiple dose study in healthy male and female volunteers. Subjects received intranasal ketorolac tromethamine (30 mg) three times daily (t.i.d.) for three days (seven doses in total). Doses were administered every eight hours. The objective of this study in healthy volunteers was to determine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of multiple doses of intranasal ketorolac tromethamine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (9)

• Cmax (the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration)

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  Blood samples for determination of plasma concentration of ketorolac were taken immediately prior to each dose and every hour for 8 hours post-dose on Day 1 (morning doses)

• Tmax (the Time to Maximum Concentration)

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  Blood samples for determination of plasma concentration of ketorolac were taken immediately prior to each dose and every hour for 8 hours post-dose on Day 1 (morning doses)

• AUC 0-8h (the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to 8 Hours Post-dose)

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  Blood samples for determination of plasma concentration of ketorolac were taken immediately prior to each dose and every hour for 8 hours post-dose on Day 1 (morning doses)

• Cmax,ss (the Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration at Steady State)

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  Blood samples for determination of plasma concentration of ketorolac were taken immediately prior to each dose and every hour for 8 hours post-dose on Day 3 (morning doses)

• Tmax,ss (the Time to Maximum Concentration at Steady State)

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  Blood samples for determination of plasma concentration of ketorolac were taken immediately prior to each dose and every hour for 8 hours post-dose on Day 3 (morning doses)

• Cmin,ss (the Minimum Observed Plasma Concentration at Steady State)

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  Blood samples for determination of plasma concentration of ketorolac were taken immediately prior to each dose and every hour for 8 hours post-dose on Day 3 (morning doses)

• Tmin,ss (the Time to Minimum Concentration at Steady State)

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  Blood samples for determination of plasma concentration of ketorolac were taken immediately prior to each dose and every hour for 8 hours post-dose on Day 3 (morning doses)

• AUCτ (the Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve Over the Dosing Interval at Steady-state)

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.

  Blood samples for determination of plasma concentration of ketorolac were taken immediately prior to each dose and every hour for 8 hours post-dose on Day 3 (morning doses)

• MRT (the Mean Residence Time

  PK analysis by standard model independent methods was performed by a pharmacokineticist using WinNonlin Professional. Actual blood sampling times were converted to a time from dosing (elapsed time). Elapsed times were listed by subject for each treatment, together with the individual plasma concentrations of ketorolac.
