Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, 3-way parallel study in 270 healthy adult male and female subjects. During this study, the PK bioequivalence of BMO-2, containing 40 mg adalimumab, will be compared to EU licensed Humira® (EU-Humira® ) (40 mg) and US licensed Humira® (US-Humira® ) (40 mg).
Randomization will be stratified by body weight (weight categories of 60.0-79.9 kg and 80.0-95.0 kg). After randomization, subjects will receive one of the following treatments: a single sc injection of 40 mg BMO-2, an equivalent sc injection of EU-Humira® (40 mg), or an equivalent sc injection of US-Humira® (40 mg).
Volunteers participation in the study is expected to finish with the follow-up visit, scheduled 70 days after the injection of study drug.

Tolerability assessments as measured by injection site reactions
- Safety variable - immunogenicity (Presence of anti-adalimumab antibodies) [Day 1 (pre-dose) and Day 9, 29, and 71 days post subcutaneous injection.]
Presence of anti-adalimumab antibodies

Known history of previous exposure to anti TNF-alpha molecules.
-
Any past or concurrent medical conditions potentially increasing the subject's risks. Examples of these include medical history with evidence of clinically relevant pathology (e.g., malignancies, demyelinating disorders).
-
Presence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Asthma in the childhood is allowed
-
Any current active infections, including localized infections, or any recent history

-
History of active tuberculosis or presence of active or latent tuberculosis.
-
Having resided or traveled in regions where tuberculosis and mycosis are endemic within 90 days before screening, or who intend to visit such a region during the period of 3 months after dosing.
-
Having received live vaccines during the past 4 weeks before screening or have the intention to receive vaccination during the study.
-
Participation in a drug study within 60 days or 5 half-lives of the previous drug (if known), whichever is longer, prior to drug administration
-
Donation of more than 500 mL of blood within 8 weeks prior to drug administration.
