Study summary
What the protocol is testing.
Albiglutide (Alb) is a novel analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) has been developed and approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Currently, lyophilized albiglutide and the diluent are provided in a dual chamber Cartridge (DCC) single-dose pen injector, requiring reconstitution prior to use. A liquid formulation of albiglutide will enable the use of a liquid product in a ready-to-use single dose auto-injector. To support the development of the liquid auto-injector product, this healthy volunteer bioequivalence study will be conducted to compare the liquid drug product to the currently available lyophilized product. This is Phase I, randomized, double-blind, double dummy, single-dose, 2-period crossover study in healthy volunteers. This study will compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of the albiglutide 50 mg liquid drug product with the albiglutide 50 mg commercial lyophilized drug product.
Interventions
Treatment arms and agents.
DRUG
Albiglutide Lyophilized DCC Pen Injector
Albiglutide is supplied as prefilled DCC Pen Injector. Each DCC contains lyophilized albiglutide 50 mg. When the injector pen product is reconstituted a neutral, isotonic solution is produced. The pen delivers albiglutide in an injection volume of 0.5 mL
DRUG
Placebo Liquid Auto-injector
Liquid albiglutide matching placebo is provided as a fixed-dose, disposable autoinjector containing placebo liquid. The auto-injector delivers the placebo in an injection volume of 1.0 mL for the 50 mg placebo dose.
DRUG
Placebo Lyophilized DCC Pen injector
Placebo is supplied as prefilled DCC Pen Injector. Each DCC contains matching placebo. When the injector pen product is reconstituted a neutral, isotonic placebo solution is produced. The pen delivers the placebo in an injection volume of 0.5 mL.
