Oragenics, Inc.
This is a Phase IIa, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of ONP-002 in adults with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Broadly, a mTBI, often referred to as a concussion, is a type of head trauma that causes temporary disruption to brain function, usually resulting from a blow to the head, fall, or sudden movement, and is often characterised by symptoms of headache, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating, without significant loss of consciousness or structural brain damage on imaging tests. The study will enroll up to 40 participants into 2 parallel treatment arms, of 20 patients each, who will receive either 16 mg (8 mg twice daily \[BID\]) intranasal (IN) ONP-002 or placebo, at 8-12-hour intervals consecutively for 5 days with a total of up to 9 doses.
