About the OX640-002 study

The study was a 4-period cross-over study in 30 otherwise healthy subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The study was conducted during allergy season with no ongoing allergy symptoms in subjects. Epinephrine plasma levels, blood pressure and heart rate were collected after administration of two different doses of OX640 and 0.3 mg intramuscular epinephrine. In one treatment period, one of the OX640 doses was administered following nasal administration of allergens, producing acute allergic rhinitis symptoms in the subjects.
