- Brief Summary
It is Multicenter randomized double-blind phaseIII clinical trial comparing safety and efficacy of BCD-022 (CJSC BIOCAD,Russia) used with paclitaxel to Herceptin®(F. Hoffmann-LaRoche Ltd, Switzerland) used with paclitaxel in the first-line treatment ofHER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients.The main objective of the studyis to evaluate overall response rate and other efficacy parameters,Incident and severity of adverse events, determination of Serum concentrationof trastuzumab after the first administration and incidence and concentration of anti-trastuzumabantibodies in patients with HER2(+) mBC treated with BCD-022 or Herceptin® administered in combination with paclitaxel. 40 patientswith HER2-positivemetastatic breast cancer will be recrited into the study. After signing theinformed consent and completing screening procedures, patients will bestratified and randomly assigned (randomized) to receive BCD-022 and paclitaxel or Herceptin®andpaclitaxel in 1:1 ratio.The study will be conducted at 18 sites of India.
Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonalantibody (mAb), specific to HER2 extracellular domain. Number of randomizedclinical studies showed that trastuzumab in combination with or followed by adjuvantchemotherapy significantly increases treatment efficacy in patients with earlystage BC. Trastuzumab in patients with HER2+ BC reduces relapse rate byapproximately 2 folds and mortality – by one third. According to these data, trastuzumab was approved as therapystandard for early stages HER2+ BC. Trastuzumab addition to the therapy ofmetastatic BC and metastatic GC also increases therapy efficacy.CJSC BIOCAD hasdeveloped a trastuzumab which is a full equivalent (biosimilar) of Herceptin®.The full cycle of biosimilar trastuzumab production is localized in Russia.Preclinical studies of trastuzumab manufactured by CJSC BIOCAD show that itspharmacokinetics and toxicity are equivalent to those of Herceptin®.Studies conducted on primates showed no significant differences in CJSC BIOCADtrastuzumab and Herceptin®safety parameters. Multicenter double-blind randomized clinicalstudy of BCD-022 (CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) and Herceptin® (F.Hoffmann-LaRoche., Switzerland) showed that safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of thesedrugs were equivalent when used in combination with paclitaxel in mBC HER2+patients. Consequently, BCD-022 can be recommended for further clinical studyof safety and efficacy in this population.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The therapy efficacy will be evaluated using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) data. The efficacy analysis will include all randomized evaluable patients (ITT – intent-to-treat analysis). Contrast-enhanced CT will be performed at screening, after 3 therapy cycles (21±3 days after 3rd administration of investigational product) and after 6 therapy cycles (21±3 days after 6th administration of investigational product).
