Popis: e14514 Background: MSB11455 is a proposed biosimilar to the currently licensed pegfilgrastim (Neulasta). This phase I study (NCT03251248) assessed the pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) bioequivalence of MSB11455 to Neulasta. Methods: Healthy volunteers were randomized to one of two crossover sequences, MSB11455/Neulasta or Neulasta/MSB11455. Subjects received a single subcutaneous dose of either MSB11455 or Neulasta (both 6 mg/0.6 mL) on Day 1 of each study period. Samples for PK/PD analysis were taken predose and up to Day 16 postdose. Immunogenicity samples were taken predose and up to Day 84 postdose. Safety was assessed throughout the study. Results: 244 subjects were randomized and received both treatments. For all primary PK/PD parameters 90% repeated confidence intervals of the geometric mean ratio of MSB11455 versus Neulasta were within the pre-defined equivalence range (80.00%–125.00%): AUC0–∞ (96.59, 112.82), AUC0–last (97.29, 113.96), Cmax (97.13, 114.99), Emax (98.74, 102.39) and AUE0–t (97.30, 100.23). Safety and tolerability as well as immunogenicity were comparable between treatment sequences. No filgrastim-specific neutralizing antibodies were detected in either treatment sequence. Conclusions: PK/PD equivalence of MSB11455 and pegfilgrastim was demonstrated with comparable immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability. This study supports the biosimilarity of MSB11455 to Neulasta. Clinical trial information: NCT03251248.
