The purpose of this study is to compare the systemic des-ciclesonide exposure of OMNARIS™ (ciclesonide) nasal spray, ciclesonide HFA nasal aerosol, and orally inhaled ciclesonide HFA-metered-dose inhaler (MDI). The administration of the study medication will be as follows: three single doses, separated by a wash-out period. The study will provide further data on the safety and tolerability of ciclesonide.

Comparison of Systemic Exposure Measured by AUC, ng*hr/L, (Area Under the Serum Concentration) of Des-ciclesonide With Ciclesonide Nasal Spray, and Ciclesonide HFA Nasal Aerosol and Orally Inhaled Ciclesonide.
The primary pharmacokinetics comparisons between treatments will be that of 300 mcg OMNARIS™ \[ciclesonide\] nasal spray and 300 mcg ciclesonide nasal HFA aerosol vs. 320 mcg orally inhaled ciclesonide as a reference. At prespecified timepoints, blood samples were obtained from subjects. It was anticipated that only a limited number of des-ciclesonide concentrations would exceed the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 10 pg/mL for ciclesonide aqueous nasal spray. AUC for the aqueous nasal spray could not be determined due to the fact that there were too few analysis samples that produced values above the LLOQ.
Time frame: 5min, 15min, 30min, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 14h, 18h, 22h, 24h following drug administration.
Comparison of Systemic Exposure Measured by Cmax, pg/mL, (Highest Concentration of Drug in the Blood) of Des-ciclesonide With Ciclesonide Nasal Spray, and Ciclesonide HFA Nasal Aerosol and Orally Inhaled Ciclesonide.
The primary pharmacokinetics comparisons between treatments will be that of 300 mcg OMNARIS™ \[ciclesonide\] nasal spray and 300 mcg ciclesonide nasal HFA aerosol vs. 320 mcg orally inhaled ciclesonide as a reference. At prespecified timepoints, blood samples were obtained from subjects. The Cmax may be available only for a limited number of subjects. Thus the focus of statistical PK analysis will be on descriptive statistics. In particular, mean and median for Cmax will be calculated using data from subjects with Cmax above LLOQ (Lower Limit of Quantitation) and from all subjects with Cmax below LLOQ imputed by 0.
Time frame: 5min, 15min, 30min, 1h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 14h, 18h, 22h, 24h following drug administration.
