Summary

Studies investigating single doses of different NRL001 formulations showed formulation-dependent differences in exposure, even though they had similar effects on mean anal resting pressure (MARP). This study is a first step in investigating the hypothesis that a better balance between desired anal effects and undesired systemic effects can be reached with a NRL001-slow release suppository than with previously studied formulations.

To this purpose, single doses of 5 to 15 mg, administered as 1 g and 2 g suppositories, are being investigated with regard to their pharmacokinetics and systemic effects (blood pressure, pulse rate, electrocardiographic heart rate).

Conditions

  • Incontinence

Interventions

DRUG

NRL001

Four single doses of NRL001 or placebo. NRL001 is administered at lower (5, 7.5 and 10 mg) or higher (10, 12.5 and 15 mg) doses in a slow release rectal suppository weighing either 1 g or 2 g.
