The objective of this study is to ascertain the safety, tolerability and performance of the RaniPill capsule in healthy volunteers
The RaniPill device is capsule-like ingestible device, which injects a microneedle containing a microtablet (payload/drug) into the intestinal wall. This is a phase I (first-in-human) open-label study in healthy volunteers. In 6 subjects, 100 mcg of octreotide (Sandostatin®) will be injected intravenously. Three versions of the RaniPill (A, B and C) will be tested in additional three groups of healthy volunteers (N=20 each). All devices will contain 100 mcg of octreotide. The bioavailability of octreotide will be determined by serial blood sampling in Groups A and B. Performance of the RaniPill will be evaluated in all groups.
