Intervention model description: Hospitalizations for administration of study medications will occur in two periods (visits 1 and 2) for administration of the drugs, and participants who receive the test medication at visit 1 will receive the comparator medication at Visit 2 and vice versa.
Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: The purpose of this phase I study is to know the pharmacodynamic profile in humans of the sodium heparin of porcine origin of the company União Química, building from the pharmacodynamic data generated its pharmacokinetic profile, due to the dosage limitation of heparin directly in biological samples. In addition, the toxicity of the product will be evaluated in healthy male participants.

Detailed description: This stage of product development follows the guidelines of the ANVISA (National Health Surveillance Agency) Heparin Development Guide.

Unfractionated sodium heparin is a drug known and widely used in the world for over half a century, thus, no unknown adverse events or any risk of administration are expected in humans, however, this is the first human Biological product developed by União Química. The proposed development of this biological drug follows the individual route, the control heparin used in the present study has the objective of evaluating the results found with the test product, without the obligation to demonstrate bioequivalence among the evaluated products.
