Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Eptinezumab in Healthy Chinese Subjects

Interventional, Single-ascending-dose Study Investigating the Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetic Properties of Eptinezumab in Healthy Chinese Subjects

The purpose of the study is to investigate how the body absorbs and get rid of eptinezumab when given directly into a vein in Chinese subjects.

This is an interventional, randomized, open-label, parallel-group, single-dose study investigating the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic properties of eptinezumab administered by intravenous (iv) infusion.

The study will consist of 20 healthy Chinese subjects, who will be randomized into two single-dose groups. The two groups will be run in parallel. In Group 1, a total of 10 subjects will receive a single iv infusion of 100 mg eptinezumab on Day 1. In Group 2, a total of 10 subjects will receive a single iv infusion of 300 mg eptinezumab on Day 1.

Safety and tolerability will be assessed throughout the study. Blood samples for plasma quantification of free eptinezumab will be collected from Day 1 to the Completion Visit (Day 84)/Withdrawal Visit.
