This is a single-dose, 2-period, 2-sequence, fasting, open label, crossover randomized design, comparing the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of intranasal and oral oxycodone solutions. The aim will be to characterize the PK and PD of two formulations of oxycodone (intranasal and oral) in healthy subjects, which will be used to verify/validate nasal-CNS-PBPK (Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic) model predictions following intranasal dosing. A total of 8 healthy male/female subjects will be randomly assigned to one of two sequences in the crossover study. All subjects will receive the same dosage of oxycodone intranasal or oral and the sequence will be determined following randomization.

AUC(0-24h)
Area under the curve from 0 time to the last measurable concentration (of intranasal and oral oxycodone), calculated from individual plasma PK concentrations.
Time frame: up to 24 hours
Tmax
Time of maximum observed concentration (of intranasal and oral oxycodone), calculated from individual plasma PK concentrations.
Time frame: Blood samples were taken pre-dose and up to 24 hours after start of each Dose
Cmax
The mean maximum observed concentration (of intranasal and oral oxycodone), calculated from individual plasma PK concentrations
Time frame: Blood samples were taken pre-dose and up to 24 hours after start of each Dose
Adverse Effects (AE)
AE was performed including number and percentage.
Time frame: Up to 24 hours
