Actual (reported)This trial will compare the clinical response to intramuscular and intranasal naloxone in pre-hospital opioid overdoses. Objective of the study is to measure and evaluate clinical response (return of spontaneous respiration within 10 minutes of naloxone administration) to a new nasal naloxone formulation in real opioid overdoses in the pre-hospital environment. The aim is to demonstrate that intranasal administration of naloxone is not clinically inferior to intramuscular administration, which is now standard treatment of care.

Active compound naloxone 14 mg/ml, (±10%). Nasal spray will be administered with one puff (100 microL ±10%) in one nostril (1.4 mg dose) using the Aptar Unitdose device. The spray device should be inserted about 1 cm into a nostril, pointing towards the ipsilateral ear and the plunger pushed in a firm and gentle manner for the formulation to be sprayed into the nose. After the plunger is inserted the device is immediately removed from the nose and assisted ventilation continued.

Same spray but without naloxone. Nasal spray will be administered with one puff (100 microL +/- 10%) in one nostril using the Aptar Unitdose device. The spray device should be inserted about 1 cm into a nostril, pointing towards the ipsilateral ear and the plunger pushed in a firm and gentle manner for the formulation to be sprayed into the nose. After the plunger is inserted the device is immediately removed from the nose and assisted ventilation continued.
Intramuscular comparator Naloxone Hydrochloride 0.4 mg/ml will be administered as a 2 ml intramuscular (IM) injection in the deltoid muscle, total dose of 0,8 mg naloxone IM
Intramuscular Sodium Chloride Injection 9mg/ml, will be administered as a 2 ml intramuscular injection in the deltoid muscle
