Abstract
Background: This study (NCT05876949) compared the pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity, safety, and immunogenicity of AVT03, a candidate biosimilar, with reference product (RP) denosumab (Xgeva).
Methods: Healthy male participants (N = 208, including 24 Japanese participants) were randomized 1:1 to receive one 120 mg dose of AVT03, or RP. PK similarity was demonstrated if the 90% confidence intervals (CI) for the ratio of geometric means for the primary PK parameters Cmax and AUC0-t were within 80.00% and 125.00%. Additional PK parameters included AUC0-inf, tmax, Kel, t1/2, Vz/F, and CL/F. Safety and immunogenicity were also assessed.
Results: The 90% CIs for the ratio of geometric means for the primary PK parameters were entirely contained within the prespecified margins of 80.00% and 125.00% (Cmax [98.26, 110.00]; AUC0-t [102.30, 113.60]), supporting demonstration of PK similarity. Consistency between Japanese participants and the overall population was shown. Safety and immunogenicity profiles were comparable between the two treatment arms.
Conclusion: Results supported demonstration of PK similarity between AVT03 and RP. AVT03 had a safety and immunogenicity profile comparable to RP.
Clinical trial registration: The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (CT.gov identifier: NCT05876949); and 2022 -003,659-32 (EudraCT).
