Study to Characterize the Pharmacokinetics of a Single Dose of SC Abatacept 125 mg Using the BD Autoinjector or the Prefilled Syringe

Mean of Terminal Phase Elimination Half-life in Serum (T-HALF) of a Single Dose of SC Abatacept - PK-Evaluable Analysis Population

Serum concentrations of abatacept were analyzed using ELISA. Blood samples were collected at Day 1 pre-dose at 0 h, 1, 2, and 8 h post dose, and on subsequent Days, 2 (24 h post dose), 3 (48 h), 5 (96 h), 8 (168 h), 15 (336 h), 29 (672 h) , 43 (1008 h), 57 (1344 h) and 71 (1680 h) following the single administration of abatacept SC. T-HALF was measured in hours (h).

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 71

Geometric Mean of Total Body Clearance (CL/F) of a Single Dose of SC Abatacept - PK-Evaluable Analysis Population

Serum concentrations of abatacept were analyzed using ELISA. Blood samples were collected at Day 1 pre-dose at 0 h, 1, 2, and 8 h post dose, and on subsequent Days, 2 (24 h post dose), 3 (48 h), 5 (96 h), 8 (168 h), 15 (336 h), 29 (672 h) , 43 (1008 h), 57 (1344 h) and 71 (1680 h) following the single administration of abatacept SC. CL/F was measured in milliliters per hour per kilogram body weight (mL/h/kg).

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 71

Geometric Mean of Volume of Distribution (V/F) of a Single Dose of Subcutaneous (SC) Abatacept - PK-Evaluable Analysis Population

Serum concentrations of abatacept were analyzed using ELISA. Blood samples were collected at Day 1 pre-dose at 0 h, 1, 2, and 8 h post dose, and on subsequent Days, 2 (24 h post dose), 3 (48 h), 5 (96 h), 8 (168 h), 15 (336 h), 29 (672 h) , 43 (1008 h), 57 (1344 h) and 71 (1680 h) following the single administration of abatacept SC. V/F was measured in liters per kilogram body weight (L/kg)

Time frame: Day 1 to Day 71

Number of Participants Who Had Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Events (AEs) That Led to Discontinuation, or Who Died

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization. Treatment-related=having certain, probable, possible, or missing relationship to study drug. Includes data Day 1 up to 76 days (71 days + 5 day window) post the single dose of study drug.

Time frame: Day 1 to 76 days post single dose

Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest

Prospectively identified events of special interest which were a subset of all AEs, and were either SAEs or non-serious AEs, included the following categories: Infections, Autoimmune Disorders, Malignancy, local site reactions, any AE occurring within 24 hours of SC injection. AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization.

Time frame: Day 1 to 76 days post single dose

Number of Participants With a Positive Immunogenicity Response Relative to Baseline

Blood samples were screened at baseline, Day 57 and Day 71 for the presence of drug-specific antibodies using Electrochemiluminescence (ECL). A positive immunogenicity response relative to baseline for Anti-Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Antigen 4-T Cell (CTLA4) and 'possibly immunoglobulin (Ig)', and 'Ig and/or Junction Region', respectively, was defined as: A missing baseline immunogenicity measurement and a positive analytical laboratory reported immunogenicity response post-baseline; A negative baseline immunogenicity response and a positive analytical laboratory reported immunogenicity response post-baseline; A positive baseline immunogenicity response and a positive analytical laboratory reported immunogenicity response post-baseline that has a titer value strictly greater than the baseline titer value. Baseline=Pre-dose value.

Time frame: Day 57, Day 71

Number of Participants With Blood Hematology, Chemistry Laboratory Values and Urinalysis Laboratory Values Meeting the Marked Abnormality Criteria

Marked abnormality criteria: lower limit of normal (LLN); upper limit of normal (ULN); pretreatment (preRX); cells per microliter (cµ/L); milligram per deciliter (mg/dL); milliequivalent (mEq): Hematology: leukocytes (\*10\^3 c/µL): \<0.75\*LLN or \>1.25\*ULN, or if preRX \<LLN, use \<0.8\*preRX or \>ULN, or if preRX\>ULN, use \>1.2\*preRX or \<LLN; eosinophils (\*10\^3 cµ/L): if value \>0.750\*10\^3 c/µL; lymphocytes (\*10\^3 cµ/L): if value \<0.750\*10\^3 c/µL or if value \>7.50\*10\^3 c/µL. Chemistry: blood urea nitrogen (mg/dL): \>2\*preRX; creatinine (mg/dL): \>1.5\*preRX; potassium (mEq/L): \<0.9\*LLN or \>1.1\*ULN, or if preRX\<LLN, use \<0.9\*preRX or \>ULN, or if preRX\>ULN, use 1.1\*preRX or \<LLN; glucose (mg/dL): \<65 mg/dL (low) or \>220 mg/dL (high). Urine Blood, urine red blood cell (RBC), urine white blood cell (WBC): if missing PreRX use \>= 2, or if Value \>= 4, or if preRX = 0 or 0.5 then use \>= 2, or if preRX = 1 then use \>= 3, or if preRX = 2 or 3 then use \>= 4.

Time frame: Day 1 to 76 days post last dose
