An Open-Label Tolerability and Actual-Use Human Factors Study of Etrolizumab Autoinjector in Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Etrolizumab is a novel, dual-action, anti-β7 integrin antibody in development for patients with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease. Phase 3 studies use a prefilled syringe (PFS) for etrolizumab administration. In parallel, an autoinjector (AI) is being developed to increase delivery options for patients if etrolizumab is approved. Here we describe the overall development strategy and detail the first-in-human study of this AI.

Methods

This open-label study of healthy volunteers evaluated the tolerability and usability of the etrolizumab AI under development. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with greater than mild pain following injection. Adverse events (AEs) and usage errors were also assessed. Results were reported
