Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study of HYLENEX Recombinant-Augmented Subcutaneous Ceftriaxone Administration (INFUSE-Cftrx)

October 24, 2011 updated by: Baxter Healthcare Corporation

INcreased Flow Utilizing Subcutaneously-Enabled Ceftriaxone (INFUSE-Ceftriaxone) Study: A Phase I Study Comparing the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Ceftriaxone Administered Subcutaneously With and Without Human Recombinant Hyaluronidase (HYLENEX Recombinant) and Intravenously in Human Volunteers

The objectives of this study are:

  • to establish the safety of subcutaneous administration of ceftriaxone at different concentrations, with and without HYLENEX recombinant, and to determine the maximum tolerated concentration;
  • and to establish the pharmacokinetic comparability of subcutaneous administration of ceftriaxone with HYLENEX recombinant to subcutaneous administration without HYLENEX recombinant and to IV administration.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
