A Study in Healthy Volunteers to Compare the Profiles of DA-3880 and EU Sourced ARANESP® (Amgen)

The main purpose of the study is to determine whether the test product and the reference product are bioequivalent based on the pharmacokinetics after administration of ug/kg as a single intravenous dose and as a single subcutaneous dose of each of the formulations. The study is consisted of randomization, 2 parts, 4 treatments, 2 way cross over.

6. Females of child-bearing potential, with a fertile male sexual partner, should be willing to use adequate contraception from screening until 90 days after the follow-up visit. Adequate contraception is defined as using hormonal contraceptives or an intrauterine device combined with at least 1 of the following forms of contraception: a diaphragm or cervical cap, or a condom.

8. All non-regular medication (including over the counter medication, health supplements, and herbal remedies such as St. John's Wort extract) must have been stopped at least 14 days prior to (the first) admission to the clinical research center. An exception is made for paracetamol (acetaminophen), which is allowed up to admission to the clinical research center. Other exceptions are multivitamins and vitamin C, which are allowed up to 7 days before admission to the clinical research center.
9. All regular non-topical medication must have been stopped at least 30 days prior to (the first) admission the clinical research center. An exception is made for hormonal contraceptives, which may be used throughout the study.
10. Ability and willingness to abstain from alcohol, methylxanthine-containing beverages or food (coffee, tea, cola, chocolate, "powerdrinks"), grapefruit (juice) and tobacco products from 48 h prior to each admission to in the clinical research center
11. Medical history without major pathology as judged by the PI
12. Normal resting supine blood pressure and pulse showing no clinically relevant deviations as judged by the PI.
13. Computerized (12-lead) electrocardiogram (ECG) recording without signs of clinically relevant pathology or showing no clinically relevant deviations as judged by the PI.
14. All values for clinical laboratory tests of blood and urine within the normal range or showing no clinically relevant deviations as judged by the PI. Hb, Hct, RBC count and thrombocytes should not exceed the upper limit of normal. Minor deviations can be accepted at the discretion of the PI
15. Willing and able to sign the ICF
