Bioequivalence Study of Ferric Carboxymaltose Injection in Healthy Chinese Participants Under Fasting Conditions
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Ferric Carboxymaltose Injection: For the T group, participants will have a standardized dinner on the night before the trial, followed by a fasting period of at least 10 h before receiving the test product (T, 2 mL: 100 mg elemental iron) via intravenous injection in the single upper limb, at a continuous rate for 1 min, with a speed of 2 mL/min.
Ferric Carboxymaltose Injection [Injectafer®]: For the R group, participants will have a standardized dinner on the night before the trial, followed by a fasting period of at least 10 h before receiving the reference product (trade name: Injectafer®) (R, 2 mL: 100 mg elemental iron) via intravenous injection on an empty stomach, at a continuous rate for 1 min, with a speed of 2 mL/min.
Study summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the pharmacokinetic profile of the developed drug product and reference product in healthy participants under fasting condition. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* \[Question 1\] Is there significant difference in the pharmacokinetic profile between the ferric carboxymaltose injection 750 mg iron/15 mL provided by Sichuan Huiyu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and the ferric carboxymaltose injection licensed by American Regent, Inc. (trade name: Injectafer®, strength:750 mg iron/15 mL )?
* \[Question 2\] Is it safe for healthy participants to take ferric carboxymaltose injection (750 mg iron/15 mL \[calculated by iron\]) provided by Sichuan Huiyu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. under fasting condition? Participants will be randomly divided into two groups by stratified blocked randomization, with equal number of healthy participants in each group, to receive test product or reference product according to the protocol below.
* Dosing on D1: Group T (Test product) Group R (Reference product)
* PK blood sample collection
* Safety evaluation
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Pharmacokinetic parameter of total iron in serum: Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) — 36 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours before administration; 0 hours and at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours post-dose
Cmax is the peak concentration of total iron in serum. It is directly obtained from observed blood drug concentration-time data. - Pharmacokinetic parameter of total iron in serum: Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) — 36 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours before administration; 0 hours and at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours post-dose
AUC is the area under the concentration curve from dosing to the last measurable blood drug concentration. It is calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule. - Pharmacokinetic parameter of transferrin bound iron in serum: Cmax — 36 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours before administration; 0 hours and at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours post-dose
Cmax is the peak concentration of transferrin iron in serum. It is directly obtained from observed blood drug concentration-time data. - Pharmacokinetic parameter of transferrin bound iron in serum: AUC — 36 hours, 24 hours, and 12 hours before administration; 0 hours and at 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 36 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, 96 hours post-dose
AUC is the area under the concentration curve from dosing to the last measurable blood drug concentration. It is calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule.
