Serum concentrations of abatacept were analyzed using a validated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cmax was measured in micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL). Blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were collected at Day 1 pre-dose at 0 hour (h), 1, 2, and 8 h post dose, and on subsequent Days, 2 (24 h post dose), 3 (48 h), 5 (96 h), 8 (168 h), 15 (336 h), 29 (672 h) , 43 (1008 h), 57 (1344 h) and 71 (1680 h) following the single administration of abatacept SC.

Number of Participants Who Had Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs) That Led to Discontinuation, or Who DiedDay 1 to 76 days post single dose

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible, or missing relationship to study drug. Includes data Day 1 up to 76 days (71 days + 5 day window) post the single dose of study drug.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special InterestDay 1 to 76 days post single dose

Prospectively identified events of special interest which were a subset of all AEs, and were either SAEs or non-serious AEs, included the following categories: Infections, Autoimmune Disorders, Malignancy, local site reactions, any AE occurring within 24 hours of SC injection. AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization.

Number of Participants With a Positive Immunogenicity Response Relative to BaselineDay 57, Day 71

Blood samples were screened at baseline, Day 57 and Day 71 for the presence of drug-specific antibodies using Electrochemiluminescence (ECL). A positive immunogenicity response relative to baseline for Anti-Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen 4-T Cell (CTLA4) and 'possibly immunoglobulin (Ig)', and 'Ig and/or Junction Region', respectively, was defined as: A missing baseline immunogenicity measurement and a positive analytical laboratory reported immunogenicity response post-baseline; A negative baseline immunogenicity response and a positive analytical laboratory reported immunogenicity response post-baseline; A positive baseline immunogenicity response and a positive analytical laboratory reported immunogenicity response post-baseline that has a titer value strictly greater than the baseline titer value. Baseline=Pre-dose value.

Urine Blood, urine red blood cell (RBC), urine white blood cell (WBC): if missing PreRX use \>= 2, or if Value \>= 4, or if preRX = 0 or 0.5 then use \>= 2, or if preRX = 1 then use \>= 3, or if preRX = 2 or 3 then use \>= 4.
