Brief summary:
This is a randomized double-blind crossover study of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety of BCD-066 (darbepoetin alfa manufactured by CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) and Aranesp® (Amgen Europe B.V., Netherlands) in healthy volunteers. The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the equivalence of pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety parameters after single subcutaneous or intravenous injection. Each drug will be administered to each volunteer at a dose of 1 µg per kilogram as a single subcutaneous or intravenous injection with an interval of at least 25 days.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Volunteers in this group initially will receive a single sc injection of the study drug BCD-066 (darbepoetin alfa) at a dose of 1 µg/kg (on Day 1) and then, after at least 25 days, a single sc injection of the reference drug Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa) at a dose of 1 µg/kg. arm 2: Volunteers in this group initially will receive a single sc injection of the reference drug Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa) at a dose of 1 µg/kg (on Day 1) and then, after at least 25 days, a single sc injection of the study drug BCD-066 (darbepoetin alfa) at a dose of 1 µg/kg. arm 3: Volunteers in this group initially will receive a single iv injection of the study drug BCD-066 (darbepoetin alfa) at a dose of 1 µg/kg (on Day 1) and then, after at least 25 days, a single iv injection of the reference drug Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa) at a dose of 1 µg/kg. arm 4: Volunteers in this group initially will receive a single iv injection of the reference drug Aranesp® (darbepoetin alfa) at a dose of 1 µg/kg (on Day 1) and then, after at least 25 days, a single iv injection of the study drug BCD-066 (darbepoetin alfa) at a dose of 1 µg/kg.
