Brief Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, 2-period crossover study in healthy subjects to assess PK, PD, and safety (including immunogenicity) of a single 6 mg subcutaneous (SC) injection of CHS-1701 compared with a single 6 mg SC dose of Neulasta®.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, double-blind, single-dose, 2-period crossover study in healthy subjects to assess PK, PD, and safety (including immunogenicity) of a single 6 mg subcutaneous (SC) injection of CHS-1701 compared with a single 6 mg SC dose of Neulasta®.

After screening, eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment sequences; CHS-1701 followed by Neulasta® (Sequence A) or Neulasta® followed by CHS-1701, Sequence B). Treatments will be spaced by a minimum of 6 weeks apart (but no more than 8 weeks). Subjects will be admitted to the Clinical Pharmacology Unit (CPU) on Day -1 (Period 1) and will be confined through Hour 96 postdose (a total of approximately 4.5 days and 5 nights). Blood samples will be collected at specified time points postdose for plasma PK and PD measurements and the subjects will be closely monitored for safety. Following discharge on the morning of Day 5 (Period 1) subjects will return to the clinic for additional PK, PD and safety follow up--daily through Day 9 and at stated interval time points thereafter.

The single dose of the alternate blinded study drug will be given after 6 (but no more than 8) weeks of observation and washout and the above procedures will be repeated (Period 2). A Follow up Visit will take place 41 (±1) days after the second dose.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Biosimilarity as measured by absolute neutrophil count (ANC)84 Days

The primary objective of this study is to assess the biosimilarity of CHS-1701 with Neulasta® based on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of pegfilgrastim and the pharmacodynamic (PD) response as measured by absolute neutrophil count (ANC).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PK Profile: Cmax (tmax), AUC0-t, and t1/284 Days

Characterization of the PK profile of CHS-1701 using standard parameters (Cmax (tmax), AUC0-t, and t1/2)

Safety Profile as assessed by clinical adverse events (AEs), laboratory variables, vital signs, incidence of antidrug antibodies (ADAs), and local injection site reactions (ISRs).84 Days

Characterization of the safety profile and tolerance of CHS-1701, as assessed by clinical adverse events (AEs), laboratory variables, vital signs, incidence of antidrug antibodies (ADAs), and local injection site reactions (ISRs).
