Tuberculosis Infection
Conditions
Brief summary
Dose comparison study of tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD)Aplisol with the standard tuberculin purified derivative (PPD-S2).
Detailed description
JHP proposes to demonstrate clinical comparability of Aplisol formulated from the new Tuberculin PPD drug substance to the standard PPD-S2.
Interventions
Comparison of different dosages of Aplisol PPD relative to reference standard PPD-S2.
Reference standard PPD-S2 formulated to contain different dose concentrations.
