Overview
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and tolerability of tralokinumab when delivered subcutaneously at different flow rates to healthy volunteers.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1, open-label, assessor-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the PK and tolerability of a single subcutaneous dose of 300 milligram (mg) tralokinumab when delivered as a 2 milliliters (mL) injection at different flow rates to healthy adult volunteers.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Zero to Infinity (AUC [0-infinity])
Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose sample collected within 30 minutes prior to study drug administration), Days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 22, 36, and 57 post-dose
AUC (0 - infinity) = Area under the serum concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to infinite time, obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - infinity). Units are day\*micrograms per millilitres = day\*mcg/mL.
Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax)
Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose sample collected within 30 minutes prior to study drug administration), Days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 22, 36, and 57 post-dose
Tmax is defined as actual sampling time to reach maximum observed tralokinumab concentration.
Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Zero to Last Measurable Concentration (AUC [0-t])
Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose sample collected within 30 minutes prior to study drug administration), Days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 22, 36, and 57 post-dose
AUC \[0-t\] is defined as area under the serum concentration-time curve from zero to last observed tralokinumab concentration.
Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax)
Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose sample collected within 30 minutes prior to study drug administration), Days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 22, 36, and 57 post-dose
The Cmax is the maximum observed serum concentration of tralokinumab.
Apparent Terminal-Phase Volume of Distribution (Vz/F)
Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose sample collected within 30 minutes prior to study drug administration), Days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 22, 36, and 57 post-dose
Volume of distribution was defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired serum concentration of a drug.
Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2)
Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose sample collected within 30 minutes prior to study drug administration), Days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 22, 36, and 57 post-dose
Terminal elimination half-life is the time measured for the serum concentration to decrease by one half. It is associated with the terminal slope of the semi logarithmic drug concentration-time curve, and is calculated as 0.693/lambda(z).
Apparent Systemic Clearance (CL/F) After Subcutaneous Dose
Time Frame: Day 1 (pre-dose sample collected within 30 minutes prior to study drug administration), Days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 15, 22, 36, and 57 post-dose
Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after subcutaneous dose (apparent systemic clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed (bioavailability).
Secondary Outcomes
- Number of Participants Reporting Local Injection-Site Reactions(0, 10, 20, 30 and 60 minutes, 2, 4, 8, 24 and 72 hours post-injection)
- Local Injection-Site Pain and Injection-Site Pruritus(During the injection until 72 hours post-injection for injection site-pain and immediately after administration of injection until 72 hours for injection-site pruritus)

- Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Related to Physical Examination(Day 1 to Day 57)
- Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-emergent Adverse Events in Laboratory Parameters(Day 1 to Day 57)
- Number of Participants Exhibiting Anti-Drug Antibodies for Tralokinumab at Any Visit(Pre-dose on Day 1 and Day 57)
- Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-emergent Adverse Events Related to Vital Signs(Day 1 to Day 57)
