Safety, Tolerability, and PK/PD of Telpegfilgrastim in Premenopausal Non-pregnant Females

This is an open-label, Phase Ia clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) characteristics of single dose of telpegfilgrastim injection in healthy premenopausal non-pregnant women. It plans to enroll 18 healthy premenopausal non-pregnant female.,). Participants will be enrolled sequentially according to their screening numbers in the following three dose groups:0.25mg, 0.5mg, and 1mg, with 6 participants in each dose group. Each participant will undergo a screening period (-2 weeks to -2 days), a baseline phase (D-1, the day before the first dose), and a post-dosing observation period (Day 1 to Day 21), and adverse event, vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests,and PK\&PD will be calculated.
