Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effect of two commercial preparations of interferon beta-1a (IFN Test: Lab Bergamo and IFN Comparator: Rebif ® - Merck Serono Lab) after single administration (12.000UI) in healthy subjects by modifying the parameters Cmax, Tmax and AUC (pharmacokinetics) and the levels of 2'5' oligoadenylate synthase and beta-2-microglobulin (pharmacodynamics).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Healthy Biological: Interferon beta-1a Phase 1

Detailed Description:
Secondly, safety will be observed (tolerability) clinically after administration of a single dose in study subjects, by comparing the clinical and laboratory parameters before and after study and the incidence of adverse events.
