Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of a single dose of ALXN1210 subcutaneous (SC) compared to ALXN1210 intravenous (IV) in healthy participants and to determine the absolute bioavailability of ALXN1210 SC.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
The participants were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to Cohort 1a in a blinded fashion to receive either a single dose of ALXN1210 SC 400 mg or single dose of placebo SC. The Safety Review Committee (SRC) evaluated the first 48 hours of postdose clinical safety data for participants in Cohort 1a to determine if enrollment into Cohorts 1b or 2 could begin. Following the SRC review, participants were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to either Cohort 1b or Cohort 2. Within Cohort 1b, participants were blinded and further randomly assigned in a 5:1 ratio to receive either a single dose of ALXN1210 SC 400 mg or a single dose of placebo SC, respectively. The participants in Cohort 2 received a single dose of ALXN1210 IV 400 mg in an open-label fashion. Safety, PK, PD, and immunogenicity assessments were performed on the follow-up period after the last dose.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: ALXN1210 SC Participants received ALXN1210 SC. |
Drug: ALXN1210 SC
All doses of ALXN1210 SC were administered by four 100-milligram (mg) SC injections of 1 milliliter (mL) each in the abdominal area. All four 1-mL injections were administered over a 15-minute period with at least 15 minutes between the end of injection in 1 participant and the start of injection in the next participant.
Other Names:
|
| Experimental: ALXN1210 IV Participants received ALXN1210 IV. |
Drug: ALXN1210 IV
All doses of ALXN1210 IV were administered by IV infusion, using IV sets with in-line filters, at a maximum rate of 333 mL/hour, excluding interruption for safety or technical reason. There were at least 15 minutes between the end-of-infusion/injection in 1 participant and the start-of infusion/injection in the next participant.
Other Names:
|
| Placebo Comparator: Placebo SC Participants received placebo SC. |
Drug: Placebo
All doses of placebo SC were administered by four 100-mg SC injections of 1 mL each in the abdominal area. All four 1-mL injections were administered over a 15-minute period with at least 15 minutes between the end of injection in 1 participant and the start of injection in the next participant.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Incidence Of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Baseline to Day 200]
An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (for example, including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or procedure, that occurs during the course of the clinical study. Exacerbations of a chronic or intermittent pre-existing condition, including either an increase in frequency and/or intensity of the condition, were all to be considered AEs. Abnormal test findings may have been considered AEs. If an abnormal laboratory value was identified, investigators were strongly encouraged to report a diagnosis, or a sign or symptom, rather than an isolated abnormal test value.
- Absolute Bioavailability Of ALXN1210 SC [Day 200]
The reported absolute bioavailability of ALXN1210 SC was based on the geometric mean ratio of the area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity estimates (SC/IV).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percent Change From Baseline In Free Complement Component 5 (C5) At Day 8 [Baseline, Day 8]
Blood samples were collected to determine the percent change in free C5 serum concentration from baseline over time for participants administered ALXN1210 SC, ALXN1210 IV, and placebo SC.
- Percent Change From Baseline In Chicken Red Blood Cell (cRBC) Hemolysis At Day 8 [Baseline, Day 8]
Blood samples were collected to determine the percent change in cRBC from baseline over time for participants administered ALXN1210 SC, ALXN1210 IV, and placebo SC.
- Incidence Of Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) To ALXN1210 [Baseline to Day 200]
Blood samples were collected to evaluate antibody response through development of ADAs.
