Study Summary

This trial is testing 3 different abatacept products to compare safety, effectiveness, and how they are absorbed by the body.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy male volunteers aged 18 to 50, with a BMI of 18.5-30 and weight between 60-100 kg. They should be in good health as confirmed by medical exams and willing to use effective contraception. Participants must consent to follow study procedures for up to 16 weeks.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing three different abatacept products (DRL_AB, RP, RMP) given by injection under the skin in men who do not have any health issues. It's designed to compare how the body processes these drugs, their safety, and potential immune responses.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, common reactions may include irritation at the injection site, allergic reactions or rashes; general side effects can range from headaches and nausea to more serious immune system responses.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Single-dose pharmacokinetic parameter Area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero extrapolated to infinity [AUC(INF)] will be derived from serum concentration versus time data [Time frame over 85 days as mentioned]
Single-dose pharmacokinetic parameter Maximum observed serum concentration (Cmax) will be derived from serum concentration versus time data [Time frame over 85 days]
Secondary outcome measures
%AUCext
Area under the serum concentration-time curve from zero to the last time of the last quantifiable concentration will be derived from serum concentration versus time data

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Has DRL_AB been given the green light from the FDA?

"Our team at Power assessed DRL_AB's safety on a scale of 1 to 3. Given it is in Phase 1, where limited data supports its efficacy and safety, we gave the drug a score of 1."

Answered by AI

Does the experimental protocol allow for octogenarians to participate?

"Aspiring participants of this clinical trial must be under the age of 50 and above 18 years old."

Answered by AI

Who would be the ideal candidates for this research trial?

"Eligible applicants of this medical trial should have a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and be aged between 18 - 50 years old. In total, 330 individuals are required to take part in the research project."

Answered by AI

What objectives are investigators attempting to accomplish through this medical experiment?

"This medical trial will measure a variety of outcomes over a 85-day period. Most notably, the single dose pharmacokinetic parameter for Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax), as well as CL/f Pharmacokinetic parameters and Positive Abatacept-induced Immunogenicity Response incidence titer and neutralizing capacity. In terms of safety assessments, Change From Baseline in Systolic and diastolic Blood Pressure will be observed closely."

Answered by AI

What is the participant enrollment for this trial?

"The sponsor has specified that 330 suitable participants are required to initiate the trial. This will be achieved through two major sites, ICON Early Phase Services, LLC in San Antonio and another located within Salt Lake City."

Answered by AI
