Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have a positive urine drug screen or alcohol breath test at screening Have participated in a clinical research study involving the administration of an investigational or marketed drug or device within 30 days prior to the first dosing, administration of a biological product in the context of a clinical research study within 90 days prior to the first dosing or concomitant participation in an investigational study involving no drug or device administration

  • Have self-perceived dullness or loss of sensation on either side of the body or the abdomen
  • Have tattoos or scars over the abdomen or other factors (e.g., rash, excessive folds of skin) that, in the Investigator's opinion, would interfere with injection site assessments
  • Are currently using painkillers, aspirin, or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Intend to use prescription or over-the-counter medication for pain or inflammation within 7 days prior to the first injection
  • Have any reason which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would prevent the participant from participating in the study

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual analogue scale (VAS) Pain score at Injection Site at Time Zero (T0)

    The Infusion site pain VAS score is a participant administered single item scale designed to measure pain using a 0-100 millimeter (mm) horizontal VAS. Overall severity of participant's pain is indicated by placing a single mark on the horizontal 100 mm scale from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst possible pain).

    Time frame: within 1 minute post injection

Secondary outcomes

  1. Visual analogue scale (VAS) Pain score at Injection Site after Time Zero (T0)

    The Infusion site pain VAS score is a participant administered single item scale designed to measure pain using a 0-100 millimeter (mm) horizontal VAS. Overall severity of participant's pain is indicated by placing a single mark on the horizontal 100 mm scale from 0 mm (no pain) to 100 mm (worst possible pain).

    Time frame: within 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes post injection

  2. Number of Participants with Injection Site Reactions (ISR)

    ISR will consists of rating the severity of skin reaction at the injection site using the scores below 0=no reaction, 1= easily tolerated erythema and/or light bruising, 2= distributing erythema with swelling and/or distributing bruising, 3=almost intolerable symptoms, or clinically definite skin necrosis, characterized by any of the following: oozing, weeping, skin breakdown, ulceration, scar formation. Higher the score worst the injection site reaction.

    Time frame: 10 and 60 minutes post injection
