The study consists of two Phases with the first phase (Pilot Phase) divided into two sub phases.
In each study phase, subjects will be admitted to the clinical unit from 10 hours prior to the first drug administration on Day -1 until approximately 12 hours following the last study drug administration. Screening of alcohol and drugs of abuse will be performed before the first study drug administration. For female subjects, a pregnancy test will be performed before the first drug administration. Clinical nasal irritation rating and the Brief Smell Identification Test will be performed at screening.

Clinical nasal irritation rating and the Brief Smell Identification Test will be performed at screening.
Phases 1A and , 1B, and 1C (Pilot Phase) The first sub-phase, Phase 1A, will be an inpatient, 5-period, 5-treatment, crossover study involving 10 healthy subjects.
In Phase 1A of the study, qualified subjects will receive one of the following treatment in the morning, after a 10 hour overnight fast:
Based on preliminary results from Phase 1A, additional administration technique and higher dose will be tested. The second sub-phase, Phase 1B, will be a separate inpatient crossover study involving 10 healthy subjects which will start after completion of Phase 1A. Every attempt will be made to include the same subjects from Phase 1A in Phase 1B.
In Phase 1B of the study, qualified subjects will receive one of the following treatments in the morning, after a 10 hour overnight fast:
The order in which subjects receive their treatment will not be randomized. During Phase 1A, subjects will receive Treatment-1 in period 1, Treatment-2 in period 2, Treatment-3 in period 3, Treatment-4 in period 4, and Treatment-5 in period 5. In Phase 1B, subjects will receive Treatment-1 in period 1, Treatment-2 in period 2, and Treatment-3 in period 3. There will be a 4 day wash out window between treatment periods. At the end of Phase 1A and Phase 1B, a dose will be selected as the proposed target dose for the Phase 2 to confirm the PK profiles.
Phase 2 (Confirmatory Phase)
Phase 2 of the study will be an inpatient, randomized, laboratory-blinded, balanced, 4-way (4 treatments) crossover study with 4 sequences (Williams design). Below are the 4 treatments to be utilized:
