28The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and minimum pharmacologically active dose of peginesatide in Healthy Volunteers.
This was a Phase 1, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of peginesatide, an erythropoiesis stimulating agent, with approximately 7 treatment cohorts and 7 healthy volunteer participants per cohort. In each cohort of 7 participants, a ratio of 5:2 participants was randomly assigned to receive a single dose of peginesatide or placebo, respectively, administered as an intravenous infusion. Planned peginesatide dose levels were to escalate by cohort. The study was conducted at a single clinical center.
Single peginesatide dose of 0.025 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) administered intravenously.
Single peginesatide dose of 0.05 mg/kg administered intravenously.
Single peginesatide dose of 0.10 mg/kg administered intravenously.
