JAMA Oncol 2024; 10:448-455. [PMID: 38329745 PMCID: PMC10853867 DOI: 10.1001/jamaoncol.2023.6520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/27/2023] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Importance The bioequivalence of denosumab biosimilar has yet to be studied in a 53-week, multicenter, large-scale, and head-to-head trial. A clinically effective biosimilar may help increase access to denosumab in patients with solid tumor-related bone metastases. Objectives To establish the biosimilarity of MW032 to denosumab in patients with solid tumor-related bone metastases based on a large-scale head-to-head study. Design, Setting, and Participants In this 53-week, randomized, double-blind, phase 3 equivalence trial, patients with solid tumors with bone metastasis were recruited from 46 clinical sites in China. Overall, 856 patients were screened and 708 eligible patients were randomly allocated to receive either MW032 or denosumab. Interventions Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive MW032 or reference denosumab subcutaneously every 4 weeks until week 49. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was percentage change from baseline to week 13 of natural logarithmic transformed urinary N-telopeptide/creatinine ratio (uNTx/uCr). Results Among the 701 evaluable patients (350 in the MW032 group and 351 in the denosumab group), the mean (range) age was 56.1 (22.0-86.0) years and 460 patients were women (65.6%). The mean change of uNTx/uCr from baseline to week 13 was -72.0% (95% CI, -73.5% to -70.4%) in the MW032 group and -72.7% (95% CI, -74.2% to -71.2%) in the denosumab group. These percent changes corresponded to mean logarithmic ratios of -1.27 and -1.30, or a difference of 0.02. The 90% CI for the difference (-0.04 to 0.09) was within the equivalence margin (-0.13 to 0.13); the mean changes of uNTx/uCr and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (s-BALP) at each time point were also similar during 53 weeks. The differences of uNTx/uCr change were 0.015 (95% CI, -0.06 to 0.09), -0.02 (95% CI, -0.09 to 0.06), -0.05 (95% CI, -0.13 to 0.03) and 0.001 (95% CI, -0.10 to 0.10) at weeks 5, 25, 37, and 53, respectively. The differences of s-BALP change were -0.006 (95% CI, 0.06 to 0.05), 0.00 (95% CI, -0.07 to 0.07), -0.085 (95% CI, -0.18 to 0.01), -0.09 (95% CI, -0.20 to 0.02), and -0.13 (95% CI, -0.27 to 0.004) at weeks 5, 13, 25, 37 and 53, respectively. No significant differences were observed in the incidence of skeletal-related events (-1.4%; 95% CI, -5.8% to 3.0%) or time to first on-study skeletal-related events (unadjusted HR, 0.86; P = .53; multiplicity adjusted HR, 0.87; P = .55) in the 2 groups. Conclusions and Relevance MW032 and denosumab were biosimilar in efficacy, population pharmacokinetics, and safety profile. Availability of denosumab biosimilars may broaden the access to denosumab and reduce the drug burden for patients with advanced tumors. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04812509.

Expert Opin Biol Ther 2024; 24:91-100. [PMID: 38269652 DOI: 10.1080/14712598.2024.2308645] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2023] [Accepted: 01/18/2024] [Indexed: 01/26/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This Phase I study compared the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) similarity of GP2411 proposed denosumab biosimilar to reference denosumab (a monoclonal antibody for specific pro-resorptive conditions). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Healthy males (28-65 years, 50-90 kg) were randomized to a single sub-therapeutic subcutaneous injection of 35 mg GP2411, EU-Xgeva® or US-Xgeva®, and followed for 39 weeks. The primary endpoints were AUCinf, AUClast, and Cmax. RESULTS Four hundred ninety-two participants completed treatment. The 90% confidence intervals (CIs) (AUCinf, AUClast, and Cmax) and 95% CI of the geometric mean ratios of AUEC of % change from baseline in serum CTX were fully contained within the prespecified equivalence margins (0.80, 1.25), demonstrating similarity. The occurrence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) with GP2411, EU-Xgeva® and US-Xgeva® was similar (72.9%, 76.0%, and 71.0% of participants, respectively). Most were Grade 1 or 2, <30% were treatment-related, and there was only one TEAE-related study discontinuation. Rates of positive anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) were similar (57.8%, 64.9%, and 69.1% of participants respectively), but immunogenicity was only borderline detectable and of very low magnitude. Ninety-nine percent of positive ADAs were transient. CONCLUSION GP2411 demonstrated similarity with EU-Xgeva® and US-Xgeva® in PK, PD, safety, and immunogenicity in this population.

Phase I, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Escalation Study of GB223, a Fully-Humanized Monoclonal Antibody to RANKL, in Healthy Chinese Adults. BioDrugs 2023; 37:721-735. [PMID: 37278972 DOI: 10.1007/s40259-023-00604-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 04/30/2023] [Indexed: 06/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND GB223 is a novel, fully-humanized monoclonal antibody against the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL). In this phase I study, the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of GB223 were investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single-dose escalation study conducted in 44 healthy Chinese adults. Participants were randomly assigned to receive a single subcutaneous injection dose of 7, 21, 63, 119, or 140 mg of GB223 (n = 34) or placebo (n = 10) and were followed up for 140-252 days. RESULTS The results of noncompartmental analysis showed that GB223 was slowly absorbed after dosing, with a time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax) ranging from 5 to 11 days. Serum GB223 concentrations decreased slowly, with a long half-life ranging from 7.91 to 19.60 days. A two-compartment Michaelis-Menten model was found to best describe the pharmacokinetics of GB223, and the absorption rate of GB223 differed between males (0.0146 h-1) and females (0.0081 h-1). Serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen decreased significantly postdose, and the inhibition lasted 42-168 days. No deaths or drug-related serious adverse events occurred. The most frequent adverse events were blood parathyroid hormone increased (94.1%), blood phosphorus decreased (67.6%) and blood calcium decreased (58.8%). In the GB223 group, 44.1% (15/34) of subjects were antidrug antibody positive after dosing. CONCLUSION In this study, we demonstrated for the first time that a single subcutaneous injection of GB223, from 7 to 140 mg, is safe and well tolerated in healthy Chinese subjects. GB223 has a nonlinear pharmacokinetic profile, and sex was a potential covariate that may affect the absorption rate of GB223. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT04178044 and ChiCTR1800020338.

Expert Opin Biol Ther 2023; 23:705-715.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MW031 is a biosimilar candidate of denosumab (Prolia®). This study aimed to compare the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, safety and immunogenicity of MW031 to denosumab in healthy Chinese participants. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this single-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled, single-dose trial, participants were given 60 mg MW031 (N = 58) or denosumab (N = 61) by subcutaneous injection and observed for 140 days. The primary endpoint was the bioequivalence of PK parameters (Cmax, AUC0-∞), and secondary endpoints including PD parameter, safety, and immunogenicity. RESULTS A comparison of main PK parameters showed that the geometric mean ratios (GMR) (90% confidence intervals [CIs]) of AUC0-∞ and Cmax for MW031 over denosumab were 105.48% (98.96%, 112.43%) and 98.58% (92.78%, 104.75%), respectively. The inter-CV values of AUC0-∞ and Cmax for MW031 ranged from 19.9% to 23.1%. PD parameter (sCTX) in the MW031 and denosumab groups were similar, and the positivity rates of immunogenicity were 0% in both groups. This study also showed similar safety profiles in both groups, and there were no drug-related, high-incidence and previously unreported adverse reactions. CONCLUSION This trial confirmed similar pharmacokinetic profiles of MW031 and denosumab in healthy male participants, and pharmacodynamic profile, immunogenicity and safety were comparable for both drugs.
