What this trial studies
This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of tozorakimab, an anti-IL-33 antibody, by comparing its administration through an autoinjector and an accessorised prefilled syringe in healthy participants. It is a randomized, open-label, parallel group Phase 1 study involving multiple centers. Participants will be assigned to one of six combinations of injection devices and sites, with a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period of up to 9 days, and follow-up lasting until 113 days post-treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the delivery methods for tozorakimab, potentially improving patient experience and medication adherence.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promise in pharmacokinetic evaluations of similar monoclonal antibodies, suggesting this approach may yield valuable insights.
