Trial design

Design model

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Experimental Erythropoietin subcutaneous injection single dose of 4,000 IU

    Biological/Vaccine

    Recombinant Human Erythropoietin: single dose of 4,000 IU (syringe filled with 0.4 mL with 4,000 IU) of the experimental drug should be administered subcutaneously

  • Active comparator Erythropoietin subcutaneous injection single dose of 4,000 IU

    Biological/Vaccine

    Recombinant Human Erythropoietin: single dose of 4,000 IU (syringe filled with 0.4 mL with 4,000 IU) should be administered subcutaneously

Treatment groups

52 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Test rHuEpo in a single subcutaneous application.Experimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: Reference rHuEpo in a single subcutaneous application.Active comparator 2 interventions
