A Single-Dose Trial to Examine the Within Subject Variability of Clexane® in Healthy Adults Under Fasting Conditions

A Single-Dose Study to Examine the Within Subject Variability of Clexane® (80 mg) s.c. in Healthy Adult Subjects Under Fasting Conditions

Primary: To examine the within subject variability of Clexane (80 mg) in healthy male and female volunteers administered subcutaneously (s.c.) as a single dose, in two periods, under fasting conditions.

Secondary: To monitor safety during the Treatment Periods.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Clexane is Administered to Healthy Volunteers
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: Enoxaparin sodium

Detailed Description

This was a pilot, open-label study to evaluate the PK of enoxaparin following s.c. administrations of 80 mg Clexane, on 2 different occasions, in 14 healthy adult subjects.

The study comprised a Screening Visit and 2 Treatment Periods (1 and 2). Screening (Day -14 to Day -1): Screening assessments were carried out within 14 days before administration of the first dose of Clexane. Eligible subjects were asked to return for Treatment Period 1.

Treatment Periods 1 and 2 (Day 0 to Day 26): Eligible subjects received two doses of s.c. Clexane over 2 Treatment Periods (1 dose/period). Final confirmation of eligibility was made prior to dosing during Treatment Period 1. Confirmation of ongoing eligibility was made prior to dosing during Treatment Period 2.

Each Treatment Period was of 2 days duration, from the afternoon before dosing (Day 0) until 36 hours (h) post-dose (evening of Day 2). During each Treatment Period, subjects resided at the Clinical Unit. Study drug was administered on the morning of Day 1 following an overnight fast. Pharmacokinetic (PK) samples were collected pre-dose and up to 36 h post-dose (x14 samples) for the measurement of enoxaparin. Safety was also evaluated at specified times throughout the study. There were at least 7 days between each dose administration. The Post-Study Follow-Up was conducted on Day 2 of Treatment Period 2 after completion of the 36 h PK blood sampling and vital sign check.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Anti-FXa Cmax	Enoxaparin exerts its anticoagulant effect primarily via interaction with anti-thrombin III (ATIII), thereby enhancing the inhibitory effect of ATIII on activated factor Xa (FXa) and thrombin/factor IIa (FIIa). Inhibition of FXa activity prevents conversion of prothrombin/factor II (FII) to FIIa and inhibition of FIIa activity (direct/indirect) prevents conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin and therefore clot formation.

Anti-FXa/Anti-FIIa t1/2	Anti-FXa/anti-FIIa activity t1/2 is reported. t1/2 is the apparent first-order terminal elimination half-life calculated as 0.693/kel.	Pre-dose, and at the following times post-dose: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 36 h in Period 1 and Period 2.
Number of Patients With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs and Severity of TEAEs	Description of adverse event profile in healthy volunteers after administration of Enoxaparin sodium s.c. as above described.	Pre-dose, and at the following times post-dose: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24 and 36 h in Period 1 and Period 2.
