Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

An open-label, single dose Pharmacokinetic (PK) comparability study to demonstrate comparable drug exposure following Subcutaneous benralizumab administration by using accessorized pre-filled syringe (APFS) or autoinjector (AI) devices.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A study of descriptive comparison of benralizumab PK by weight and injection site.

This study will be a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel group Phase 1 study designed to compare benralizumab PK exposure in healthy subjects following single subcutaneous (SC) administration of fixed 30 mg dose of benralizumab by using APFS and single-use AI. Eligible subjects will be healthy subjects aged 18 to 55 years, with a body weight of 55 to 100 kg and a body mass index of 18 to 29.9 kg/m2 . A total of 180 subjects will be randomized. Randomization will be stratified by weight group (55 to 69.9 kg, 70 to 84.9 kg and 85 to 100 kg), and within each of the 3 weight groups, subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 to 1 of the 6 combinations of treatment (APFS or AI) with injection site (upper arm, abdomen or thigh), presented in Table 1. This study will be performed at 2 study centers.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Benralizumab by Accessorized Pre-Filled Syringe

Drug administration by Accessorized Pre-Filled Syringe. A total of 180 subjects will be randomized and will be stratified by weight group (55 to 69.9 kg, 70 to 84.9 kg and 85 to 100 kg). Within each of the 3 weight groups, subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 to 1 of the 6 combinations of treatment (APFS) with injection site (upper arm, abdomen or thigh)

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Benralizumab

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

A humanized, afucosylated, monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds specifically to the human IL-5 receptor alpha subunit (IL-5Rα) on the target cell.

Benralizumab by Autoinjector

Drug administration by Autoinjector A total of 180 subjects will be randomized and will be stratified by weight group (55 to 69.9 kg, 70 to 84.9 kg and 85 to 100 kg). Within each of the 3 weight groups, subjects will be randomized 1:1:1:1:1:1 to 1 of the 6 combinations of treatment (APFS) with injection site (upper arm, abdomen or thigh)
