Recombinant Human Serum Albumin/Interferon alpha2a Fusion Protein Phase I Study in Chinese Healthy Volunteers

A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Profile, Safety, and Tolerability of Escalating Single Dose Recombinant Human Serum Albumin/Interferon alpha2a Fusion Protein in Healthy Volunteers

This study will evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Recombinant Human Serum Albumin/interferon alpha2a Fusion Protein single dose in Chinese healthy volunteers.

This is an open-label study that will be conducted at a single site in China to characterize the PK/PD profile, safety and tolerability of Recombinant Human Serum Albumin/interferon alpha2a Fusion Protein in healthy subjects. Subjects will receive a single dose of Recombinant Human Serum Albumin/interferon alpha2a Fusion Protein or active comparator Pegasys at Day 0. The total duration of study participation is up to 6 weeks for each subject. Subjects will complete a follow-up visit at Day 28 after the dosing.
