Bioavailability Study on Healthy Volunteers
Conditions
Keywords
Cimzia, certolizumab pegol, Bioavailability, Healthy volunteers
Brief summary
To compare the bioavailability of a single dose of certolizumab pegol solutions given subcutaneously either by one of the three formulations and to investigate safety and tolerability.
Interventions

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last quantifiable point (AUC(0-t),) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Apparent terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Time corresponding to Cmax (tmax) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Apparent Total body clearance (CL/F) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Time point where log-linear elimination phase begins (TLIN ) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Extrapolated portion of the AUC (AUC_ext ) | PK samples; from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Number of subjects with anti-certolizumab pegol antibody plasma level >2.4 units/mL | PK samples; from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Apparent Volume of distribution (Vz/F) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Lowest quantifiable concentration time (LQCT) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
| Apparent terminal elimination rate constant (λz) | PK samples: from pre-dose to Week 12 |
