Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study of HYLENEX Recombinant-Augmented Subcutaneous Ceftriaxone Administration

The objectives of this study are:

* to establish the safety of subcutaneous administration of ceftriaxone at different concentrations, with and without HYLENEX recombinant, and to determine the maximum tolerated concentration; * and to establish the pharmacokinetic comparability of subcutaneous administration of ceftriaxone with HYLENEX recombinant to subcutaneous administration without HYLENEX recombinant and to IV administration.

Exclusion criteria

  • Received a cephalosporin within the 21 days prior to study or anticipated to receive non-study cephalosporin during study
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding.
  • Previously exposed to a hyaluronidase drug product

Treatment and study plan

SC HYLENEX and Ceftriaxone

Drug

single, subcutaneous, 150 U dose of HYLENEX; followed by single, subcutaneous, 1 gm dose of ceftriaxone (350 mg/mL solution administered at 2.5 mL/min over 1.14 minutes)

Other names: HYLENEX recombinant, hyaluronoglucosaminidase, hyaluronidase, rHuPH20

SC Placebo and Ceftriaxone

Drug

single, subcutaneous injection of 1 mL 0.9% sodium chloride solution; followed by single, subcutaneous, 1 gm dose of ceftriaxone (350 mg/mL solution administered at 2.5 mL/min over 1.14 minutes)

Other names: saline, normal saline, 0.9% sodium chloride injection

IV Ceftriaxone

Drug

single, intravenous infusion of 1 gm ceftriaxone (40 mg/mL solution administered at 0.83 mL/min over 30 minutes)

Other names: ceftriaxone

Primary outcomes

  1. AUC0-t

    Time frame: Start of ceftriaxone administration through time of last measureable plasma ceftriaxone concentration

    Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last measurable concentration (calculated by the linear trapezoidal method)

  2. AUC0-inf

    Time frame: from the start of ceftriaxone administration to infinity

    Area under the drug concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity, calculated as AUC0-t + Ct/kel (Ct = time of last measurable concentration; kel = terminal elimination rate constant)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cmax

    Time frame: at the time of the highest measured plasma ceftriaxone concentration

    Maximum measured plasma ceftriaxone concentration

  2. Tmax

    Time frame: from start of ceftriaxone administration until time of maximum measured plasma ceftriaxone concentration

    Time to maximum measured plasma ceftriaxone concentration
