Primary outcomePrimary: Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Tocilizumab — 10.5; 10.0 micrograms per milliter (μg/mL)
Summary
The primary objective of the study is to show equivalence in pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB800 and Actemra following SC administration of a single dose to healthy male participants. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate PK over time, clinical safety, pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles and immunogenicity of BIIB800 and Actemra.
