Characterization of Cyanocobalamin in Healthy Voluteers After Intranasal and Intramuscual Administration

October 31, 2014 updated by: Swedish Orphan Biovitrum

An Open, Randomized, Single-dose, Two-way Crossover Study to Characterize the Pharmacokinetic Properties of Cyanocobalamin When Administered as an Intranasal Spray and an Intramuscular Injection to Healthy Volunteers

The main purpose of this study is to assess the relative bioavailability of Nascobal Nasal Spray as compared to an IM injection of cyanocobalamin (European reference product).
