Comparing QL2107 and Keytruda® in Healthy Adults

A Randomized, Double-blind, Single-dose, Parallel Three-group Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics and Safety of QL2107 and Keytruda® (Marketed in China and the United States) in Healthy Male Adults

This study is testing a new treatment called QL2107 against Keytruda® to see how they compare in terms of safety and how the body processes them in healthy men aged 18 to 50.

Quick facts

• Phase: Phase 1
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 168 (estimated)
• Ages: 18 Years to 50 Years
• Sex: Male
• Sponsor: Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (Industry-sponsored)
• Locations: 1 site (Changchun, Jilin)
• Trial ID: NCT06173011 on ClinicalTrials.gov

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to compare the pharmacokinetic and safety profiles of QL2107 with Keytruda® marketed in China and the United States. Healthy male volunteers aged 18 to 50 will receive a single injection of either QL2107 or Keytruda®. The study is designed as a phase I, single-center, randomized, double-blind, and parallel group trial. Researchers will assess the pharmacokinetic similarities, safety, and immunogenicity of the treatments among the participants.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are healthy male adults aged 18 to 50 with a body weight between 50.0 kg and 90.0 kg.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of significant medical conditions or those outside the specified age and weight criteria may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into the safety and efficacy of QL2107 as a potential alternative to Keytruda®.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is not widely tested, similar pharmacokinetic studies have shown promise in evaluating new treatments against established therapies.
