Summary

Comparative PK study after single SC application of Afolia and the reference product (US Gonal-f®). Objective: To demonstrate equivalence within 80%-125% margin of the reference product for the area under the curve (AUC) of Afolia.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Healthy female volunteers aged 18 to 42 years (inclusive) with a Body mass index of 18.0 to 32.0 kg/m2 (inclusive)
  • Subjects who have used oral contraceptives for at least 3 months before study entry and are prepared to stop taking oral contraception from screening and to use effective non-hormonal methods of birth control until completion of 1 menstrual cycle after the last dose administration
  • Women of child bearing potential must agree to use effective non-hormonal contraception for birth control until completion of 1 menstrual cycle after the last dose administration
  • Subjects with a regular menstruation cycle (25 to 34 days) before initiation of oral contraception
  • Subjects with both ovaries
  • Subjects who are negative for drugs of abuse and alcohol tests at screening and each admission
  • Subjects who are healthy as determined by pre study medical history, physical examination and 12-Lead electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Subjects whose clinical laboratory test results are not clinically relevant and are acceptable to the investigator
  • Subjects who are able and willing to give written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subjects who do not conform to the above inclusion criteria
  • Subjects with polycystic ovary syndrome
  • Subjects with developing follicles or solid ovarian cysts >2 cm or complex cysts regardless of size
  • Subjects with a history of hypersensitivity to FSH (Ovary Hyperstimulation Syndrome)
  • Subjects with impaired thyroid function (treated or untreated)
  • Subjects with a history of malignant disease
  • Subjects with aspartate aminotransferase and/or alanine aminotransferase >2 x upper limit of normal reference range
  • Subjects with other clinically relevant findings (ECG, blood pressure, physical, laboratory examination)
  • Subjects with a smoking history of more than 5 cigarettes per day
  • Subjects with evidence of abuse of drugs or alcoholic beverages
  • Subjects with a positive screen for hepatitis B surface antigen, antibodies to the hepatitis C virus or antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus 1/2
  • Subjects who have participated in a clinical trial within the 3 months prior to this study
  • Subjects who are unlikely to co-operate with the requirements of the study
  • Subjects with symptoms of a clinically relevant illness during the 3 weeks prior to study day -1
  • Subjects who are pregnant, lactating or attempting to become pregnant
  • Subjects with any medical condition (including a known predisposition to porphyria) that, in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with safety of the subject or interfere with the objectives of the study
  • Subjects who are vegans or have medical dietary restrictions
  • Subjects who cannot communicate reliably with the investigator
