Summary
Single-center, single-arm, open-label study of EU-approved Stelara administered subcutaneously in healthy adult subjects. The study is designed to provide single-dose pharmacokinetic inter-subject variability data for Stelara, to optimize study design (including sample size calculation) for a proposed ustekinumab biosimilar pivotal PK study.

- Male,
- Resting supine systolic blood pressure (BP) of < 150 mmHg and diastolic BP of < 90 mmHg at screening. Other vital signs showing no clinically significant abnormalities, in the opinion of the Investigator.
- No clinically significant abnormalities on 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) recording at screening and Day -1, in the opinion of the Investigator.
- Non-smoker, or smoker of less than 10 cigarettes per day within 3 months prior to Day 1. Smokers must be able to abide by the smoking policy of the site.

- Clinically relevant medical or psychiatric disorder in the opinion of the Investigator, including but not limited to malignancies, demyelinating disorders, herpes zoster, hepatobiliary disorders, pancreatic diseases and congestive heart failure.
- History of relevant drug and/or food allergies, or allergic reactions attributed to latex, or to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to agent used in study.
- Clinically significant atopy (childhood asthma is permitted).
- Infection requiring hospitalization or intravenous antibiotic use within 6 months prior to Day 1, infection requiring oral or systemic antibiotic within 4 weeks prior to Day 1.
- Any current infection or history of recurrent or chronic infections.
- History or evidence of invasive systemic fungal infections (including histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, blastomycosis, and pneumocystosis, etc.) or other opportunistic infections judged to be significant by the Investigator.
- Positive QuantiFERON-TB Gold (QFT-G) test for tuberculosis (TB) during screening. In the event of an indeterminate QFT-G, a single retest will be permitted during the Screening period. If the repeat result is indeterminate or positive, the subject will be excluded from the study.
- Previous exposure to any therapeutic agent targeted against interleukin (IL)-12 or IL-23.
