GP2017-HCF, a high concentration formulation, demonstrates similar pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity and safety to GP2017, an approved adalimumab biosimilar

Le résumé fourni par la source

Background GP2017 is an adalimumab biosimilar. The objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of GP2017 in its approved formulation and GP2017-high concentration formulation (HCF) in a randomized, double-blind, two-arm PK bridging study.Research design and methods Healthy male subjects received a single 40 mg subcutaneous injection of either GP2017-HCF (n = 162) or GP2017 (n = 168). PK, safety, and immunogenicity were assessed over 72 days post-injection.Results The 90% confidence intervals [CIs] of geometric mean ratios between GP2017-HCF and GP2017 for Cmax, AUC0-inf, AUC0-360 and AUC0-last were within the pre-defined margin of 0.80 to 1.25; thus, PK comparability between GP2017-HCF and GP2017 was demonstrated. Subgroup analysis of PK comparability by anti-drug antibody (ADA) subpopulation showed that the 90% CIs of geometric mean ratios between GP2017-HCF and GP2017 for Cmax, AUC0-inf, AUC0-360 and AUC0-last were within the margin of 0.80 to 1.25 in ADA-positive and ADA-negative subjects. The proportions of subjects with positive ADA responses and with neutralizing antibodies were comparable between the GP2017-HCF and GP2017 groups. GP2017-HCF and GP2017 were well tolerated, and there were no reports of deaths or other serious adverse events.Conclusion Results show PK comparability between GP2017-HCF and GP2017 and comparable safety and tolerability.
