Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of the Interferon Beta-1a Produced by Laboratorio Quimico Farmaceutico Bergamo Compared to Interferon Beta-1a (Rebif - Merck Serono) in Healthy Subjects - Full Text View

Purpose

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).

Enrollment:	20
Study Start Date:	January 2011
Study Completion Date:	July 2011
Primary Completion Date:	March 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Test Bergamo - Interferon beta-1a	Biological: Interferon beta-1a 12.000UI - single dose
Active Comparator: Comparator - Merck Serono Merck Serono - Interferon beta-1a	Biological: Interferon beta-1a 12.000UI - Single dose

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.
