Study to Demonstrate Equivalent Efficacy and to Compare Safety of Biosimilar Adalimumab (GP2017) and Humira

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Plaque Type Psoriasis
Interventions
Drug: GP2017 Adalimumab
Registration Number
NCT02016105
Lead Sponsor
Sandoz
Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to demonstrate equivalent efficacy and similarity in the safety profile of GP2017 and Humira® in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study (Treatment Period 1) was to demonstrate equivalent efficacy, primarily based on the PASI75 response rate at Week 16, and similar safety of the proposed biosimilar GP2017 and Humira in patients with moderate to severe chronic plaque-type psoriasis at the end of Treatment Period 1, after 17 weeks of study treatment.

The subsequent Treatment Period 2 (Week 17 to Week 35) and the Extension Period (Week 35 to Week 51) were performed to evaluate long-term effects, including immunogenicity (i.e. ADAs), and the effects of repeated switching between GP2017 and Humira.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PASI 75 Response Rate at Week 16 - GP2017 Adalimumab vs Humira ® AdalimumabAt Week 16 only

The primary variable was the PASI75 response rate at Week 16, defined as the proportion of patients achieving a reduction of 75% or more of the PASI score at Week 16 compared with baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean Percent Change From Baseline in PASI Score up to Week 16 (MMRM)Baseline to Week 16

The key secondary efficacy variable was the percentage change from baseline in PASI score at each visit up to Week 16.

PASI 50, PASI 75, PASI 90 and PASI 100 Response RatesAt Week 17 only

Proportion of patients achieving PASI 50, 75, 90 and 100 at Week 17 (end of Treatment Period 1)

Mean ATE of Percent Change From Baseline in PASI Score up to Week 16 (ANCOVA)Baseline to Week 16

The key secondary efficacy variable was the average treatment effect (ATE) which is the weighted average of % change from baseline in PASI scores between Week 1 and Week 16 (weights based on the time interval between two consecutive visits).

DLQIAt Week 51 only

Proportion of patients reporting a DLQI of 0 or 1 (no effect at all on patient's life)

PASI 50, PASI75, PASI 90 and PASI100 Response RatesAt Week 51 only

Proportion of Patients Achieving PASI 50, 75, 90 and 100 at Week 51 (Entire Study)

ADA Formation Against GP2017 Adalimumab and Humira® Adalimumab From Randomization Until Week 51At Week 51 only

Proportion of patients with at least one confirmed positive anti-drug antibodies (ADA) response to adalimumab from Randomization to Week 51.

Patients with ADA positive results at baseline were excluded from subsequent results.

IGA Response RateAt Week 51 only

Proportion of patients achieving a score of 0 ("clear") or 1 ("almost clear") or improved by at least 2 points of the IGA scale compared to baseline at Week 51

ADA Formation Against GP2017 Adalimumab and Humira® Adalimumab From Randomization Until Week 17At Week 17 only

Proportion of patients with at least one confirmed positive anti-drug antibodies (ADA) response to adalimumab from Randomization to Week 17.

Patients with ADA positive results at baseline were excluded from subsequent results.
