PG - 435-444 LID - 10.2147/DDDT.S235064 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), bioequivalence and safety profile of the recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (r-hCG) injection formulation LZM003 (test drug) comparing with that of Ovidrel((R)) (reference drug) in healthy Chinese subjects. METHODS: This is a randomized, single-blind, single-dose, two-arm and two-period crossover Phase I study. Subjects were randomized evenly to a single dose of LZM003 or reference drug injected subcutaneously, with a 10-day or longer between-treatment washout period. PK parameters, anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), and adverse events (AEs) were assessed. The primary PK endpoints were area under the curve (AUC) of the concentration-time curve from zero to last quantifiable concentration (AUC(0-t)), AUC from zero to infinity (AUC(0-infinity)), and peak concentration (C(max)). Bioequivalence was determined by assessing whether the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the geometric mean ratio (GMR) of LZM003 to reference drug fell within predefined margins of 80% -125%. RESULTS: Forty-eight subjects (24 males and 24 females) were enrolled and one subject withdrew for personal reasons. Mean values of primary PK parameters were similar (p > 0.05) between LZM003 and the reference drug. The 90% CIs for primary PK endpoints' GMR of LZM003 to reference drug ranged between 0.9144 and 1.1845, which were within bioequivalence margins of 80-125%. Incidence of AEs was similar (p > 0.05) between the two groups. Neither LZM003 nor reference drug produced anti-drug antibody (ADA) in healthy subjects. CONCLUSION: LZM003 and reference drug were bioequivalent. The PK and safety assessments were similar (p > 0.05) between the two formulations in healthy Chinese subjects.
