Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of Biosimilar Denosumab With Prolia® in Healthy Adult Male Volunteers

A Randomized, Double-blind, Three-arm, Parallel-group, Single-dose Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of Denosumab (ENZ215, EU-sourced Prolia®, and US-sourced Prolia®) in Healthy Adult Male Volunteers

This is a randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel-group, single-dose study to demonstrate bioequivalence of ENZ215 and EU- and US-sourced Prolia after a single 60-mg dose administered subcutaneously in healthy adult male volunteers.

Approximately 207 subjects will be enrolled into 3 groups (69 in each group) in parallel. The subjects may be enrolled in multiple groups at the site. All eligible subjects will be assigned to one of the three treatment groups in 1:1:1 ratio i.e. ENZ215 or US-sourced Prolia® or EU-sourced Prolia® to enter into the study period of 39 weeks. The study duration will be approximately 16 months (i.e. 6 months of recruitment period, 4 weeks of screening period and approximately 39 weeks (270 days) of study period).

Each subject will be required to visit the site for a total of 20 visits: visit 1 - screening visit, visit 2 - day 0 to day 2, visit 3 - day 3, visit 4 - day 4, visit 5 - day 5, visit 6 - day 6, visit 7 - day 8, visit 8 - day 10, visit 9 - day 12, visit 10 - day 16, visit 11 - day 21, visit 12 - day 28 (week 4), visit 13 - day 42 (week 6), visit 14 - day 63 (week 9), visit 15 - day 90 (week 13), visit 16 - day 119 (week 17), visit 17 - day 147 (week 21), visit 18 - day 180 (week 26), visit 19 day - 224 (week 32), and visit 20 - day 270 (week 39). A window period of ±1 day is allowed for visit 12 (day 28), window period of ±3 days are allowed from day 42 (week 6) to day 180 (week 26), A window period of ±5 days are allowed from day 224 (week 32) to day 270 (week 39).

End of Study Assessment will be performed on day 270 (week 39) or at the time of early discontinuation of the subject.

INCLUSION CRITERIA

The subjects will be included in the study based on the following criteria:

1. Able to understand and give written, voluntary informed consent for the study

2. Healthy adult male volunteers between 28 to 55 years of age (both inclusive)

3. Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 18.50 and ≤ 30.00 kg/m2 at the time of screening

4. Medically healthy with no clinically significant medical history, vital signs, physical examination, and laboratory profiles

5. Normal or clinically acceptable 12-lead electrocardiogram, QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTc interval)* ≤ 450 msec at the time of screening

6. Subjects with negative alcohol test (breath analyzer or any suitable test) at the time of screening and admission (pre-dose)

7. Male subjects with female partners who agree to use effective contraception during study#

8. Male subjects who agree not to donate sperm during study

9. Willing and able to comply with the protocol requirements

10. Willing for multiple sampling and admission at the phase 1 study site day before dosing.

    • Note: QTc interval will be calculated using the Bazette and Fridericia formula.

      • Effective contraception: A non-vasectomised Male volunteers with female partners of child bearing potential should use dual method of contraception i.e. condom with spermicide method of contraception.

Female partners should use hormonal or non-hormonal method of contraception. (No restrictions are required for a vasectomised male provided his vasectomy has been performed 4 months or more prior to the first dosing. A male who has been vasectomised less than 4 months prior to the first dosing must follow the same restrictions as a non-vasectomised male).

EXCLUSION CRITERIA

The subjects will be excluded from the study based on the following criteria:

1. Known hypersensitivity to Denosumab or to any of the components of the study drug

2. Participating or has received any investigational drug (or is currently using an investigational device) within 30 days before receiving the study drug, or at least 10 times the respective elimination halflife (whichever period is longer) *

   * For monoclonal antibody refer exclusion criteria number 18 and 19

3. A serious infection (associated with housing and/or required intravenous anti-infectives) within 6 months before study drug administration and/or any active infection within 4 weeks of screening requiring oral or systemic antibiotics

4. History of significant drug abuse within 12 months before screening or a use of soft drugs (such as marijuana) within 3 months before the screening visit or hard drugs (such as cocaine, phencyclidine, and crack etc.) within 12 months before screening

6. Subjects with positive urine screen for drugs of abuse at the time of screening or check-in
