Coherus Announces CHS-1420 Pharmacokinetic Clinical Bioequivalence Study Meets Primary Endpoint
CHS-1420-03 was a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study in healthy subjects designed to assess the PK bioequivalence of CHS-1420 to that of Humira by comparing relative bioavailability after sub-cutaneous administration of a single 40 mg dose. The safety and tolerability of CHS-1420 was also evaluated.
“Positive results from this study are an essential global regulatory requirement to demonstrate PK bioequivalence on multiple prespecified primary PK endpoints between CHS-1420 and Humira,” said
“This is our second successful CHS-1420 PK study,” noted
