Randomized Comparison Study of Novel Recombinant Human Antithrombin Gamma and Plasma-Derived Antithrombin in Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:This paper describes two studies, which aimed to compare the safety and plasma antithrombin activity of recombinant human antithrombin gamma (rhAT-gamma) with plasma-derived antithrombin (pAT) 60 IU/kg, and to establish bioequivalence by adjusting the rhAT-gamma dose to that at which plasma antithrombin activity equaled that for pAT 60 IU/kg, based on results of the first study. METHODS:Healthy adult men aged 20-45 years received once-daily doses of rhAT-gamma or pAT intravenously for 3 days (first study: 60 IU/kg of each; second study: 72 IU/kg of rhAT-gamma and 60 IU/kg of pAT). Maximum plasma antithrombin activity after three doses (Cmax,day3) and area under the plasma antithrombin activity-time curve after the third dose (AUC48-t) were analyzed. Safety was also
