A Study on Pharmacokinetics and Safety of BAT2506 Injection Versus Simponi®

This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel three-arm, and single-dose Phase I clinical study, designed to compare the similarity of pharmacokinetics, safety and immunogenicity between BAT2506 Injection and Simponi® (EU-licensed and US-licensed) after single subcutaneous administration in healthy Chinese male subjects.

The study planes to enroll 375 healthy male subjects who will be randomly assigned to the BAT2506 Injection group, Simponi® (EU-licensed) or Simponi® (US-licensed) groups in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive a single subcutaneous injection of 50 mg BAT2506 Injection or Simponi® (EU-licensed or US-licensed).
