Compare Actions in Healthy Volunteer of 50 mg Etanercept Injection Using an Auto-injector Device and Manual Injection

June 9, 2016 updated by: Amgen

An Open-label, Randomized, 2-period Crossover Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics of a 50-mg Dose of Liquid Etanercept Administered to Healthy Subjects by Subcutaneous Injection Using an Auto-Injector Device and Manual Injection

The purpose of the study is to compare Pharmacokinetics of liquid etanercept that is administered to healthy subjects aged 18-55 by an auto-injector device and manual injection (each subject received both injections).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This single-center, randomized, open-label, 2-period, 2-sequence, 2-treatment, crossover study in healthy men and women compared the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety profiles of two 50-mg subcutaneous (SC) injections of etanercept liquid (in a 1.0-mL prefilled syringe): (1) using a disposable auto-injector device, and (2) using a standard manual injection. Each subject received both injections in the abdomen, separated by a washout period of 28 days.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ratio of the geometric means of etanercept by auto-injector to etanercept by manual injection for the PK parameter of AUC (0-t)
Time Frame: 28 days
28 days after receiving treatment in Period 1, subjects return to the facility on an outpatient basis to receive the alternate treatment in Period 2. Procedures performed in the first period are repeated in the second period.
28 days
