Summary
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to conduct preliminary studies of a new version of an existing medication (called Herceptin) in healthy males.

Who is this study for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are a male aged 18 to 55 and you are in good health with no existing conditions.

Study details:
Participants in this study will be randomised (by chance) into three groups. All participants will receive a single dose of breast cancer medication infused through a needle in the arm. over a period of 90 minutes. The medication will be the same, but each group will receive a different version – EU-licensed, US-licensed and a new version. Neither participants nor those giving the medication will know which is being administered. As part of this study, participants will provide blood samples and answer questions about their general health.

It is hoped this research will provide evidence the new version of the medication is equivalent to the existing licensed versions.
