- Abstract
Introduction: Tildrakizumab 200 mg/2 mL pre-filled syringe is a new preparation of tildrakizumab that is developed to facilitate patients' compliance. This phase I clinical trial compares the local tolerability, safety, and subjects' preferred method of administration of tildrakizumab when administered as a new single 200 mg/2 mL subcutaneous injection or as two 100 mg/1 mL subcutaneous injections in healthy subjects. Methods: Visual analogue scores were used to self-assess injection site pain immediately (< 1 min) after each administration and at 1 h and 48 h after each administration. Treatment injection site reactions were assessed at 1 h and 48 h after each administration. Treatment safety was monitored throughout the study period. Subjects' preferred method of administration was assessed 4 weeks after the last administration (day 56). Results: No statistically significant difference in visual analogue scores and injection site reactions was detected between the two treatments. Treatment-emergent adverse events were mild, and there were no deaths or serious adverse events. Most subjects (61.5%) preferred the treatment when administered as a single 200 mg/2 mL subcutaneous injection rather than as two 100 mg/mL subcutaneous injections. Conclusions: Administration of 200 mg tildrakizumab as a single 2 mL subcutaneous injection was safe, well tolerated, and preferred over two separate 100 mg/1 mL subcutaneous injections by healthy subjects.
