The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of certolizumab pegol (CZP) on the quality of sperm obtained from healthy male volunteers.
CZP is a PEGylated humanized Fab' fragment with specificity for human tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα). Evidence suggests that modulation of TNFα signaling may affect male spermatogenesis. Therefore, this study will compare semen quality parameters before and after a single 400 mg dose of CZP, or matched placebo.
