Safety and Pharmacokinetic Study of Anthrax Immune Globulin Derived From Human Serum
This study has been completed.
Sponsors and Collaborators: Cangene Corporation
Department of Health and Human Services
Information provided by: Cangene Corporation
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00448253
  Purpose

The purpose of the study is to assess the pharmacokinetics of three doses of NP-015 (210, 420 or 840 units TNA) in healthy volunteers. To evaluate the safety of NP-015 based on adverse events and laboratory assessments. To determine the dose proportionality relation of three different doses of NP-015.
