Vitamin B12 injection showdown: are two versions the same?
NCT ID NCT07158099
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This early-stage trial checks whether a new methylconalamin injection works the same as an existing one in 14 healthy adults. Each person gets both versions at different times, and researchers measure drug levels in the blood. The goal is to see if they are bioequivalent, not to treat any disease.

History of surgery within 3 months prior to screening, planned surgery during the study, or history of surgery that may affect drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion. 14. Use of any investigational drug or participation in any drug/device clinical trial within 3 months prior to screening. 15. Clinically significant abnormalities in vital signs, physical examination, laboratory tests (hematology, urinalysis, blood biochemistry, coagulation), chest X-ray, or 12-lead ECG. 16. Positive test for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C antibody (HCV-Ab), syphilis antibody (anti-TP), or HIV antibody (anti-HIV). 17.
