About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Three-arm, Parallel-group, Single-dose Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of Denosumab (ENZ215, EU-sourced Prolia®, and US-sourced Prolia®) in Healthy Adult Male Volunteers

This is a randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel-group, single-dose study to demonstrate bioequivalence of ENZ215 and EU- and US-sourced Prolia after a single 60-mg dose administered subcutaneously in healthy adult male volunteers.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 207 subjects will be enrolled into 3 groups (69 in each group) in parallel. The subjects may be enrolled in multiple groups at the site. All eligible subjects will be assigned to one of the three treatment groups in 1:1:1 ratio i.e. ENZ215 or US-sourced Prolia® or EU-sourced Prolia® to enter into the study period of 39 weeks. The study duration will be approximately 16 months (i.e. 6 months of recruitment period, 4 weeks of screening period and approximately 39 weeks (270 days) of study period).

Each subject will be required to visit the site for a total of 20 visits: visit 1 - screening visit, visit 2 - day 0 to day 2, visit 3 - day 3, visit 4 - day 4, visit 5 - day 5, visit 6 - day 6, visit 7 - day 8, visit 8 - day 10, visit 9 - day 12, visit 10 - day 16, visit 11 - day 21, visit 12 - day 28 (week 4), visit 13 - day 42 (week 6), visit 14 - day 63 (week 9), visit 15 - day 90 (week 13), visit 16 - day 119 (week 17), visit 17 - day 147 (week 21), visit 18 - day 180 (week 26), visit 19 day - 224 (week 32), and visit 20 - day 270 (week 39). A window period of ±1 day is allowed for visit 12 (day 28), window period of ±3 days are allowed from day 42 (week 6) to day 180 (week 26), A window period of ±5 days are allowed from day 224 (week 32) to day 270 (week 39).

End of Study Assessment will be performed on day 270 (week 39) or at the time of early discontinuation of the subject.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum Observed Drug Concentration (Cmax) of ENZ215 and EU- and US-sourced Prolia®

    A total of twenty four blood PK samples of 2.5 mL each were collected from each subject in the study. Pre-dose sample were collected within 30 minutes prior to IP administration. Post-dose samples up to Day 2 were collected within ± 10 minutes, within ± 2 hours from Day 3 to Day 21, within ± 1 day on Day 28, within ± 3 days from Day 42 to Day 180 and within ±5 days from Day 224 to Day 270.

    Serum concentrations of denosumab were measured at central laboratory by a validated analytical method.

    Measured: 270 days

  2. Area Under the Drug Concentration-time Curve From Day 0 to Day 270 (AUC0-t) of ENZ215, EU- and US-sourced Prolia®. and EU- and US-sourced Prolia®

    A total of twenty four blood PK samples of 2.5 mL each were collected from each subject in the study.

    Pre-dose sample were collected within 30 minutes prior to IP administration. Post-dose samples up to Day 2 were collected within ± 10 minutes, within ± 2 hours from Day 3 to Day 21, within ± 1 day on Day 28, within ± 3 days from Day 42 to Day 180 and within ±5 days from Day 224 to Day 270.

    Serum concentrations of denosumab were measured at central laboratory by a validated analytical method.

    Measured: 270 days

  3. Area Under the Drug Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUC0-inf) of ENZ215, EU- and US-sourced Prolia®. and EU- and US-sourced Prolia®

    A total of twenty four blood PK samples of 2.5 mL each were collected from each subject in the study.

    Pre-dose sample were collected within 30 minutes prior to IP administration. Post-dose samples up to Day 2 were collected within ± 10 minutes, within ± 2 hours from Day 3 to Day 21, within ± 1 day on Day 28, within ± 3 days from Day 42 to Day 180 and within ±5 days from Day 224 to Day 270.

    Serum concentrations of denosumab were measured at central laboratory by a validated analytical method.

    Measured: 270 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Partial Area Under the Drug Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 (Pre-dose) to Day 28

    AUC0-28 days were compared between ENZ215 and Prolia® using tests after log-transformation wherever appropriate.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Time to Reach Cmax (Tmax)

    The non-parametric analysis was used for the comparison of tmax between ENZ215 and Prolia®.

    Measured: 270 days

  3. Terminal Elimination Half-life (t1/2)

    t1/2 was compared between ENZ215 and Prolia® using tests after log-transformation wherever appropriate.

    Measured: 270 days

  4. Apparent Systemic Clearance (CL/F)

    CL/F was compared between ENZ215 and Prolia® using tests after log-transformation wherever appropriate.

    Measured: 270 days

  5. Area Under the Effect Curve (AUEC) From Time 0 to Day 270 for Serum CTX-1 Percent Inhibition Percent Inhibition

    The AUEC was calculated as the area under the effect curve from baseline until CTX-1 values return to baseline for the first time.

    A total of sixteen (16) blood samples for serum CTX-1 estimation of 3.5 mL each was collected from each subject in the study. For CTX-1, blood samples were collected at the same time and after a minimum of 10 hours of fasting.

    Measured: 270 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ENZ215, EU Sourced Prolia and US Sourced Prolia in people with Healthy Male Subjects, run by Enzene Biosciences Ltd. at 2 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Dec 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Bulgaria, Poland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Dec 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Observed Drug Concentration (Cmax) of ENZ215 and EU- and US-sourced Prolia® (time frame: 270 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Dec 2025.
