Phase 1
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
HEALTHY MEN AND POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
Registration Number
CTRI/2018/09/015697
Lead Sponsor
INTAS PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED
Brief Summary

The present study has been designed to establish pharmacokinetic bioequivalence and compare pharmacodynamic profiles of INTG8 of Intas Pharmaceuticals Limited, India against Forteo (Lilly USA, LLC) and Forsteo (ELI LILLY NEDERLAND B.V., THE NETHERLANDS) following single subcutaneous injection of 20 micro gram in healthy men and postmenopausal women under fasting condition. This is an assessor-blind, randomized, three-treatment, three-period, single-dose, crossover, bioequivalence study in healthy men and postmenopausal women after subcutaneous administration under fasting conditions. Sufficient number of healthy men and postmenopausal women subjects meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled in comparable manner to ensure that total 99 healthy men and postmenopausal women are randomized and the clinical data is statistically acceptable. At least a 24-hour washout will be given between two periods. Participation in this study yields no direct benefit to the subjects. The risk of common adverse reaction (nausea, pain in limb, headache, dizziness) and hypersensitivity are reduced considering the fact that only three doses are to be administered at an interval of not less than 01day (i.e. 24 hours) between the dosing days of two consecutive periods. No additional tests apart from the already specified (unless required for safety reasons in opinion of the PI) will be performed. The study will therefore not put any additional risk / burden to the subjects. Subjects will be on an overnight fast for at least 10 hours prior to dose administration and for 4 hours post dose administration. Each subject will receive dose of 20 micro gram (either of Test product or Reference products) subcutaneously on the abdomen in supine posture in each period. Subjects will be housed in the clinical facility for at least 11 hours before administration of the first dose (Period-I) and will continue to remain in the clinical facility till the end of Period III. A total of 48 blood samples (each of 3 mL) for pharmacokinetics evaluation and 36 blood samples (each of 2 mL) for pharmacodynamic evaluation will be collected in entire study. Subject will be instructed not to participate in other clinical trial or donate blood anywhere else during the study. The trial will be conducted in accordance with the protocol and will comply with all requirements regarding the obligations of investigators and all other pertinent requirements of ICH E6 (R2) ‘Guideline on Good Clinical Practice’, 2016. The results of the study including all obtained data will be property of the sponsor.
