About

This is a single-centre, randomised, open-label, single-dose, two-cycle, double-crossover study to compare the pharmacokinetics of SJ04 and Ovidrel® in healthy female subjects. Received a single subcutaneous injection administration of SJ04 Injection or Ovidrel®, both administered at a dose of 250 μg, once per cycle, and cross-administered after a washout period.

Full description

SJ04 is a biosimilar of Ovidrel® and is highly similar to Ovidrel®. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the similarity of pharmacokinetics (PK) between recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin injection (SJ04) and Ovidrel® after administration by a single subcutaneous injection in healthy Chinese female subjects.

Forty-eight screened healthy female subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups, the T-R group and the R-T group, with 24 subjects in each group. On the morning of the day of administration, they received SJ04 injection or Ovidrel® single subcutaneous injection according to the randomisation table, both at a dose of 250 μg, once per cycle, and crossed over after a washout period.

A history of chronic or serious illness or disease of the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, endocrine system, cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, haematological, respiratory, or autoimmune systems or an existing disease of one of the above systems which, in the judgement of the investigator, makes him or her unsuitable for enrolment.
Abnormalities in vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests (routine blood, blood biochemistry, urinalysis, coagulation, thyroid function), 12-lead electrocardiogram, liquid-based thin-layer cytometry (TCT), and ultrasound are judged by the investigator to be clinically significant and to warrant participation in the trial.
