Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: CROSSOVER
Enrollment: 32
Healthy volunteers: yes

Brief summary:
This is a randomized double-blind crossover study of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and tolerability of BCD-033 (interferon beta-1a manufactured by CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) and Rebif® (Merck Serono S.p.A.., Italy) in healthy volunteers. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and tolerability parameters after single subcutaneous injection. Each dtug will be administered to each volunteer at a dose of 44 µg as a single subcutaneous injection with an interval of at least 14 days.

Detailed description:
Each dtug (BCD-033 and Rebif) will be administered to each volunteer at a dose of 44 µg as a single subcutaneous injection with an interval of at least 14 days.

Arms:
arm 1: Volunteers in this group initially will receive a single sc injection of the study drug BCD-033 (interferon beta-1a) at a dose of 44 µg (on Day 1) and then, after at least 14 days, a single sc injection of the reference drug Rebif® (interferon beta-1a) at a dose of 44 µg. arm 2: Volunteers in this group initially will receive a single sc injection of active comparator Rebif (interferon beta-1a) at a dose of 44 µg (on Day 1) and then, after at least 14 days, a single sc injection of the study drug BCD-033 (interferon beta-1a) at a dose of 44 µg.

Interventions: intervention 1: Interferon beta-1a
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Each volunteer will receive 1 subcutaneous (sc) injection of the study drug BCD-033 (interferon beta-1a) and 1 sc injection of active comparator Rebif (interferon beta-1a) at a dose of 44 µg with an interval of at least 14 days.
