About
The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence of subcutaneous Vidaza® and subcutaneous Luitpold Azacitidine pharmacokinetics and to assess the comparative safety of subcutaneous Vidaza® versus subcutaneous Luitpold Azacitidine.
Full description
To assess the bioequivalence of Vidaza® and Luitpold Azacitidine pharmacokinetics, in terms of Maximal Concentration (Cmax), Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to the Time of Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC 0-t), and Area Under the Curve From Time Zero Extrapolated to Infinity (AUC 0-∞), following SC administration.
To assess the comparative safety of Vidaza® versus Luitpold Azacitidine during the 2 day study period.
