Open Label , Randomized, Three Arm Parallel Group Single Dose Comparative Pharmacokinetic , Safety and Immunogenicity Study in Healthy Subjects (abatacept)

A Randomized , Open Label, Three Arm, Parallel Group, Single Dose, Comparative Pharmacokinetic , Safety, and Immunogenicity Study Comparing KSHB002 (Abatacept) 125 mg/ ml Pre-filled Injection With US-Licenced ORENCIA and EU-Approved ORENCIA Administered Through Subcutaneous Route in Healthy Adult Human Volunteers

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Test Product KSHB002 shows equivalence in terms of PK , safety and immunogenicity as compared to reference product ORENCIA used to treat Rheumatoid arthritis .

Participants will:

Take drug Test or a reference subcutaneously as a single dose and these participants will be healthy volunteers

Primary Endpoint: The following pharmacokinetic parameters will be determined as: Cmax and AUCi, of KSHB002 (Abatacept), US-licensed ORENCIA and EU-authorized ORENCIA.

Secondary Endpoint : Safety will be evaluated from occurrence of adverse events post dose. The number, severity and relation to treatment will be collected by the reporting of the adverse events (AE) and monitoring of clinically relevant changes e.g., vital signs, physical examination and lab values in blood and urine.

• Immunogenicity will be evaluated from the number/percentage of subjects positive for ADA (Anti-Drug Antibody) and Neutralizing Anti-drug antibody
• Secondary pharmacokinetic endpoints will be evaluated as AUCt, Tmax, Kel and tHalf.

B. For female of childbearing potential, acceptable forms of contraception include the following:

i. Non hormonal intrauterine device in place for at least 3 months prior to the start of the study and remaining in place during the study period, or ii. Barrier methods containing or used in conjunction with a spermicidal agent, or iii. Surgical sterilization or iv. Practicing sexual abstinence throughout the course of the study.

C. Female will not be considered of childbearing potential if one of the following is reported and documented on the medical history:

i. Postmenopausal with spontaneous amenorrhea for at least one year, or Spontaneous amenorrhea for more than 6 months and less than one year with Serum Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) level > 40 mIU/mL, or iii. Bilateral oophorectomy with or without a hysterectomy and an absence of bleeding for at least 6 months, or iv. Total hysterectomy and an absence of bleeding for at least 3 months. 3) BMI: 18.5 to 30.0 kg/m2, both inclusive; BMI value should be rounded off to one significant digit after decimal point (e.g. 30.04 rounds down to 30.0, while 18.95 rounds up to 19.0).

4) Body weight: 50.0 kg to 100.0 kg both inclusive. 5) Able to communicate effectively with study personnel. 6) Willing to provide written informed consent to participate in the study. 7) Judged by the investigator and/or designee to be in good health as documented by the medical history, physical examination (including but may not be limited to an evaluation of the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory and central nervous systems), vital sign assessments, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical laboratory assessments, and by general observations. Any abnormalities or deviations outside the normal ranges for any clinical testing (laboratory tests, ECG, etc.) can be repeated at the discretion of the investigator and/or designee and judged to be not clinically significant for study participation. Any abnormalities or deviations outside the normal range for vital signs can be repeated by clinical staff and judged to be not clinically significant for study participation

Exclusion Criteria:
