Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  55.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  1. Healthy males or females of any race, 18 55 years (both inclusive) of age at screening
2. BMI of 18.5-30.0 kg/m2 (both inclusive)
3. If a woman of child-bearing potential, have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at check-in on Day -1
4. From the time of screening until 30 days after the final study visit, subjects must be sexually inactive, sterile or using effective methods of contraception as follows: If the subject is a male with a female sexual partner who is of childbearing potential, the couple is willing to use two effective methods of birth control during the duration of the trial and for 1 month after the final evaluation or early termination. A female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature woman who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). All females of childbearing potential must agree to use two effective methods of contraception for the duration of the study and at least 1 month after the final evaluation or early termination. The two forms of birth control authorized are defined as the use of a barrier method of contraception (condom with spermicide) in association with one of the following methods of birth control: bilateral tubal ligation, combined oral contraceptives (estrogens and progesterone), or implanted or injectable contraceptives with a stable dose for at least 1 month prior to check-in on Day -1; hormonal intra uterine device inserted at least 1 month prior to check-in for Period 1 on Day -1
5. Willing to participate in the study, able to understand and likely to complete all study requirements, and willing to provide voluntary informed consent before initiation of any study-related procedures
6. In the opinion of the Principal Investigator, able to fully comply with the study requirements and judged to be healthy on the basis of the medical history and screening procedures (physical examination, vital signs, and safety laboratory test results)
7. Negative test for selected drugs of abuse at Screening visit and check-in on Day -1
8. Negative hepatitis panel and negative Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibody test
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  1. Known hypersensitivity to hydrocortisone or any of the active or inactive ingredients in the drug treatment
2. Female who is pregnant or lactating or is planning a pregnancy during the study or if of child-bearing potential is unwilling to adhere to the methods of contraception detailed above.
3. Any abnormal laboratory value during screening or check-in on Day 1 that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, would interfere with the conduct of the study or safety of the subject
4. History or presence of any significant metabolic, allergic, cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, or hematologic (bleeding) disorders
5. History or presence of any significant gastrointestinal disorder (peptic ulcer disease, gastritis or bleeding diathesis, proctitis, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, lower gastrointestinal bleeding, active hemorrhoids, and history of constipation or diarrhea/frequent bowel movements per day) within 60 days prior to Day 1
6. History or presence of any significant endocrine disorders (including Addison’s Disease, Cushing’s Syndrome, and Cushingoid features)
7. History or presence of any significant immunologic, dermatologic, muscular, neurological, psychiatric, neoplastic, or other disease, which, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, could interfere with the course of the study or expose the subject to undue risk by participating in this study
8. Currently participating or has participated within 30 days prior to screening, in an investigational drug or device study
9. Inability to fully comply with the study protocol
10. Seated (after at least 5 minutes rest in a sitting position) systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg or <90 mmHg or a diastolic blood pressure >95 mmHg during Screening
11. Heart rate at rest of <50 beats per minute (bpm) or >100 bpm during Screening

14. Prior or current rectal corticosteroid treatment within 6 months of screening and treatment
15. Use of any prescription medications/products, or over-the-counter (OTC)/non-prescription preparations (including vitamins, minerals, and phytotherapeutic/herbal/plant-derived preparations) within the 14 days prior to Day -1 or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, unless deemed acceptable by the Principal Investigator in consultation with the Sponsor
16. Any significant rectal pathology that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator or designee, would be a contraindication (or warning) with a hydrocortisone acetate suppository, including rectal obstruction, abscess, perforation, active fungal infection(s) and/or bacterial infection(s)
17. Anal or rectal surgery within the previous 2 years
18. Use of anorectal medications including creams, ointments, suppositories, foams, and enemas or insertion of any medication or object into the rectum from the time of screening through the end of study
19. Receipt of blood products within 2 months prior to Day -1
20. Consumption of alcohol-containing foods or beverages within the 60 hours prior to Day -1 or throughout the study and the consumption of caffeine-containing foods or beverages within the 12 hours prior to Day -1 and throughout the remainder of the study

Brief Summary  

Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics of Hydrocortisone after Administration of Hydrocortisone Acetate 25 mg and 45 mg Suppository in Healthy Adult Volunteers.  This is a single-center, single-dose, 2-treatment, 2-period, 1-sequence study to be conducted in 20 healthy adult volunteers. The Primary objective study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) of hydrocortisone following a single rectal administration of hydrocortisone acetate suppository. Hydrocortisone will be quantified in plasma and urine with sensitive, selective, validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC’MS/MS) bioanalytical methods.
