Hylenex Recombinant (Hyaluronidase Human Recombinant) - Summary

 
 



SUMMARY

HYLENEX recombinant is a purified preparation of the enzyme recombinant human hyaluronidase. HYLENEX recombinant is produced by genetically engineered Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells containing a DNA plasmid encoding for a soluble fragment of human hyaluronidase (PH20). The purified hyaluronidase glycoprotein contains 447 amino acids with an approximate molecular weight of 61,000 Daltons.

Subcutaneous Fluid Administration

HYLENEX recombinant is indicated as an adjuvant in subcutaneous fluid administration for achieving hydration.

Dispersion and Absorption of Injected Drugs

HYLENEX recombinant is indicated as an adjuvant to increase the dispersion and absorption of other injected drugs.

Subcutaneous Urography

HYLENEX recombinant is indicated as an adjunct in subcutaneous urography for improving resorption of radiopaque agents.

Clinical Trials Related to Hylenex Recombinant (Hyaluronidase)

Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study of HYLENEX Recombinant-Augmented Subcutaneous Ceftriaxone Administration [Completed]
The objectives of this study are:

- to establish the safety of subcutaneous administration of ceftriaxone at different

concentrations, with and without HYLENEX recombinant, and to determine the maximum tolerated concentration;

- and to establish the pharmacokinetic comparability of subcutaneous administration of

ceftriaxone with HYLENEX recombinant to subcutaneous administration without HYLENEX recombinant and to IV administration.

CONSISTENT 1: Metabolic and Safety Outcomes of Hylenex Recombinant (Hyaluronidase Human Injection) Preadministered at CSII Infusion Site in Participants With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) [Active, not recruiting]

Study of Subcutaneous Rehydration With Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase for Infants and Children [Completed]
The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and ease of use of subcutaneous (SC) rehydration using HYLENEX-augmented SC infusion of fluids and electrolytes for the rehydration of pediatric patients with mild to moderate dehydration.

INFUSE Morphine Study [Completed]
Double-blind study comparing the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of morphine administered subcutaneously (SC) with and without human recombinant hyaluronidase (HYLENEX) and intravenously conducted in patients in a hospice care setting or through a palliative care medicine setting. In this within-patient controlled study, each eligible study patient receives a single injection by each of the three methods of morphine administration, sequentially on three consecutive days, according to the order specified by a randomization schedule. Each of the three injections consists of 5 mg of morphine (1. 0 mL of 5 mg/mL solution). The HYLENEX injection will be 1 mL of 150 units. Although the IV administration will not be blinded, the two SC injections will be double-blinded, using the same volume of normal saline (0. 9% sodium chloride) placebo (1. 0 mL) as HYLENEX.
