简要总结

This study is being conducted to evaluate efficacy equivalence between Dr. Reddy’s Abatacept and reference product. In addition, safety, immunogenicity will also be compared. This is in line with the guidelines issued by various regulatory agencies for development of biosimilars. The rationale for the main phase of study is to compare the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of DRL_AB in establishing biosimilarity; the transition phase is to rule out any difference between DRL_AB with RMP in safety or immunogenicity in RA patients who are already on treatment with the RMP when they switch to DRL_AB; and long term safety extension phase for evaluation of the safety following long term administration.
