Study Description

Complarate (tocilizumab, solution) is being developed as a biosimilar to the drug Actemra®, a solution for subcutaneous injection.

Tocilizumab is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody to the human interleukin-6 (IL-6) receptor from the immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) subclass. Tocilizumab binds to and inhibits both soluble and membrane IL-6 receptors (sIL-6R and mIL-6R).

This I phase study is aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics and safety of the drugs Complarate and Actemra® after their single subcutaneous administration to healthy volunteers at a dose of 162 mg. The study included healthy volunteers aged 18-45 years at the time of signing the informed consent form. The study included a screening period, single administration of study/comparator drug and a follow up period. Allocation of patients to treatment groups was carried out by randomization in a ratio of 1:1 to the study drug and comparator drug. 256 patients (128 to the study drug group and 128 to the comparator drug group) are being randomized.
