Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a study to compare PK of tezepelumab exposure in healthy subjects by using vial and syringe, APFS, and AI.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: Tezepelumab
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This study will be a single center, randomized, open label, parallel group study designed to compare tezepelumab PK exposure in healthy subjects following single subcutaneous (SC) administration of a fixed dose of tezepelumab by using vial and syringe, APFS, or AI. A total of 315 subjects will be randomized to receive a single, fixed dose of tezepelumab administered SC using vial-and-syringe, APFS, or AI at 1 of 3 injection sites: abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Separate randomization lists will be produced for each weight group (50 to < 70 kg, 70 to < 80 kg, 80 to 90 kg), and within each of the 3 weight groups, subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1:1 to 1 of the 9 combinations of treatment (vial-and-syringe, APFS, or AI) with injection site (abdomen, thigh, upper arm). Within each weight group, at least 36 subjects will be randomized resulting in at least 12 subjects per treatment group (device) within each weight group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. The area under the time concentration curves from zero to infinity (AUCinf) [At Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113]

    To compare the AUCinf following single SC administration of tezepelumab using Vial-and-syringe, APFS, and AI.

  2. The maximum observed concentration (Cmax) [At Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113]

    To compare the Cmax following single SC administration of tezepelumab using vial-and-syringe, APFS, and AI.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. The areas under the time concentration curves from zero to last observation (AUClast) [At Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113]

    To determine the AUClast following single dose SC administration of tezepelumab using vial and syringe, APFS and AI.

  2. Time to Cmax (tmax) [At Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113]

    To determine time to Cmax (tmax) following single dose SC administration of tezepelumab using vial and syringe, APFS and AI.

  3. Terminal phase elimination half life (t½λz) [At Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113]

    To determine t½λz following single dose SC administration of tezepelumab using vial and syringe, APFS and AI.

  4. Apparent systemic clearance (CL/F) [At Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113]

    To determine CL/F following single dose SC administration of tezepelumab using vial and syringe, APFS and AI.

  5. Apparent terminal phase volume of distribution (Vz/F) [At Days 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, 22, 29, 43, 57, 71, 85, 99, and 113]

    To determine Vz/F estimated by non compartmental analysis following single dose SC administration of tezepelumab using vial and syringe, APFS and AI.

  6. Presence of ADAs to tezepelumab [At Day 1, 15, 29, 71 and 113]

    To evaluate the immunogenicity of single dose tezepelumab administered SC using Vial-and-syringe, APFS and AI
