About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Randomized,Double-Blind and Parallel Controlled Single-dose Clinical Trial of Pharmacokinetics, Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of HLX03 Compared With Humira® From China Source in Chinese Healthy Male Subjects

This healthy male volunteers study will evaluate 148 subjects who will receive a single sub-cutaneous dose of HLX03 (a monoclonal antibody against TNF-a, 40 mg/ 0.8 mL) or Adalimumab(Humira,China spourced,40 mg/0.8 mL injection with a single-use prefilled syringe). This study will involve sampling,pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity evaluation of drug levels following administration of HLX03 and the licensed adalimumab products.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, doubl-blinded, parellel-controlled phase 1 PK, safety, tolerability and immunogenicitiy study to compare HLX03, designed as an Adalimumab biosimilar, with China sourced Humira in Chinese health volunteers. All enrolled subjects will receive a single dose of HLX03 (40 mg)or Humira(adalimumab, 40 mg) in subcutaneous injectioin after randomization.

The purpose of this study to prove the similarity in PK, Safety, tolerability and immunogenicity beween HLX03(adalimumab biosimilar) and China sourced Humira and provide evidence for Phase III comparison study.

The blood will be collected before drug administration, and at 1 hr、4 hr、8 hr、24 hr (1d)、48 hr (2d)、72 hr (3d)、96 hr (4d)、、144 hr (6d)、192 hr (8d)、240 hr (10d)、 336 hr (14d)、504 hr (21d)、672 hr (28d)、840 hr (35d)、1008 hr (42d)、1176 hr (49d)、1344 hr (56d)、1680 hr (70d) after drug injection for PK, ADA, etc analysis. All subjects also will be followed up at 0, 1,2,3,4,6,8,10,14,21,28,35, 42, 49, 56, and 70 days after drug administration for AE and other specified outcomes.

The main endpoint is AUC from time zero to ∞. The second endpoints include Cmax, Tmax, T1/2, CL, Vd and AUC(0-last).

This is single center study in China.

  2. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Zero (0) Hours to the last quantifiable concentration

    Measured: 71 days post-dose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Zero (0) to Time Infinity

    Measured: 71 days post-dose

  2. Time to Maximum Concentration(Tmax) of Adalimumab After Single SC Injection

    Measured: 71 days post-dose

  3. Half-life time of adalimumab after single SC injection of HXL03/Humira

    Measured: 71 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing HLX03 and adalimumab in people with Immune System Disorder, run by Shanghai Henlius Biotech at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 24 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Concentration(Cmax) of Adalimumab After Single SC Injection of HLX03/Humira (time frame: 71 days post-dose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03357939, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 May 2022.
