  • History of hepatic, renal, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, neurological, hematological, psychiatric, cardiologic or allergic disease of any etiology requiring pharmacological treatment or that is considered clinically relevant by the researcher.
  • Electrocardiographic findings are not recommended by the researcher for participating in the study.

  • Hospital admission for any reason up to 8 weeks before the start of the first study treatment period.
  • Treatment in the last 3 months before starting this study treatment with any drug product known to have a well-defined toxic potential in large organs.
  • Participation in any pharmacokinetics study with collection of more than 300 mL of blood or intake of any experimental drug product in the last six months before starting the study treatment.
  • Donation or loss of 450 mL or more of blood in the last three months preceding the study or donation of more than 1500 mL of blood in the last 12 months before starting the study treatment.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Pegfilgrastim

Neulastim (pegfilgrastim)

Arm Description

Pegfilgrastim (Hematopoietic Growth Factor) injectable solution 6 mg / 0,6mL in a single subcutaneous application.

Neulastim injectable solution 6 mg / 0,6mL in a single subcutaneous application.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Evaluation of comparative pharmacokinetics of pegfilgrastim in healthy volunteers with parameter peak maximum concentration in plasma (Cmax).
A 90% confidence interval (CI) for the differences in transformed data means of test and comparator drugs, for Cmax. The CI antilog obtained constitutes the 90% CI for the ratio of geometric averages of the parameter: (Cmax test / Cmax comparator) Formulations are considered statistically bioequivalent if these intervals are between limits of 80% and 125%.
Evaluation of comparative pharmacokinetics of pegfilgrastim in healthy volunteers with parameter area under recombinant G-CSF concentration curve versus time (AUC 0-t).
A 90% confidence interval (CI) for the differences in transformed data means of test and comparator drugs, for AUC 0-t. The CI antilog obtained constitutes the 90% CI for the ratio of geometric averages of the parameter: (AUC0-t test / AUC0-t comparator) Formulations are considered statistically bioequivalent if these intervals are between limits of 80% and 125%.
Evaluation of comparative pharmacodynamics of pegfilgrastim in healthy volunteers with parameters: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) versus time.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Evaluation of comparative pharmacodynamics of pegfilgrastim in healthy volunteers with CD34+ count versus time.
CD34+ count until 144 hours

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (relative bioavailability) and pharmacodynamics, after single subcutaneous application, in healthy volunteers of both sexes, between pegfilgrastim formulation, produced by Eurofarma Laboratorios S/A and Neulastim® (reference formulation), marketed by Produtos Roche Químicos e Farmacêuticos S/A. In addition to that, a pharmacodynamics comparison will be performed, through change in absolute neutrophil count in leukogram performed in the same time of pharmacokinetics analysis collection and through CD34+ cell count in peripheral blood at timepoints 0:00, 96:00 and 384:00 hours.
