NCT ID NCT06392074
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new biosimilar drug (MB04) against two versions of Enbrel in 141 healthy men. The goal was to see how the drugs move through the body and if they cause side effects or immune reactions. Participants received a single dose and had blood samples taken over several days to measure drug levels.

History of tuberculosis (latent or active); have a positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold test during screening (if QuantiFERON-TB Gold test result is indeterminate, the subject will not be enrolled in this study). 9. Have the intention to travel to regions where tuberculosis and mycosis are endemic diseases within 3 months after dosing. 10.

Any clinically significant laboratory finding at the time of screening. 13. A negative result for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B and C is required for participation (if the subject shows a positive hepatitis B test compatible with prior immunization and not infection, the subject may be included at the discretion of the Investigator). 14. Current malignancy or malignancy within the last 5 years (with the exception of excised non melanoma skin cancer). 15.
