Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of subcutaneous Vidaza® and subcutaneous Luitpold Azacitidine pharmacokinetics and to assess the comparative safety of subcutaneous Vidaza® versus subcutaneous Luitpold Azacitidine.

Detailed description

To assess the bioequivalence of Vidaza® and Luitpold Azacitidine pharmacokinetics, in terms of Maximal Concentration (Cmax), Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to the Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC 0-t), and Area Under the Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC 0-∞), following SC administration. To assess the comparative safety of Vidaza® versus Luitpold Azacitidine during the 2 day study period.

Area Under the Curve (AUC) From Time Zero to the Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC 0-t)

The AUC is a measure of systemic drug exposure, which is obtained by collecting a series of blood samples and measuring the concentrations of drug in each sample; AUC 0-t is defined as AUC from time 0 to the last data point
