简要总结
Adalimumab is a recombinant monoclonal antibody (IgG1 subclass) against human TNF-α (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha). It is an immunosuppressive medication predominantly used to treat rheumatoid arthritis autoimmune disease. It is also used for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and Crohn's disease etc. Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF-α and blocks its general cytokine effects, thereby reducing TNF-induced inflammation and halting tissue destruction. Adalimumab was approved for medical use in the United States in 2002. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines. It is available as a biosimilar medication. In 2017, it was the 169th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than three million prescriptions. Adalimumab is an expensive product which is indicated in rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease, etc. Each patient will be provided the study drug free of cost in this study which will benefit them immensely.
The advent of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies has given a major boost to the treatment of individuals suffering from autoimmune disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis. Adalimumab is one such therapeutic monoclonal antibody used for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis marketed with brand name Humira by Abbvie Ltd. (USA) was the only adalimumab biosimilar available for patients in Bangladesh until recently. Incepta Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Bangladesh has introduced Bangladesh's first locally manufactured adalimumab biosimilar Advixa that is available at a fraction of Humira's cost. This study aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of the Adalimumab biosimilar (Advixa) in comparison to Adalimumab (Humira) as reference. The biosimilar Advixa being a local product will a cost-effective alternative to imported drugs currently available in the market.
Objectives of the Protocol
General objectives-
- To assess the Pharmacokinetic between Test Product (A): Adalimumab (Advixa) 40 mg/ 0.4 ml of Incepta Pharmaceuticals Ltd of Bangladesh and the corresponding Reference Product
(B): Humira 40 mg/ 0.4ml of Abbvie Ltd in normal, healthy, adult, human subjects in a Parallel group study. 2. To evaluate the safety between two products. 3. To assess efficacy, tolerability and safety of biosimilar adalimumab (Advixa, Incepta) in compared with reference adalimumab (Humira, AbbVie) in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Specific objectives-
-
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters: For Cmax and AUC0-t the 90% confidence interval for the ratio of the test and reference products should be contained within the acceptance interval of 80.00-125.00%.
-
Safety assessment: Evaluation and comparison between references vs. test drug in terms of safety end point.
-
Efficacy assessment: The primary endpoints will be -
-
Proportion of patients with an ACR20 response in both the treatment groups at week 12.
-
Evaluation and comparison of safety between references vs. test drug.
The secondary endpoints will be -
- Change in Disease Activity Score of 28 joints - CRP (DAS28-CRP),
- Proportion of patient with an ACR50 response and
- Proportion of patients with an ACR70 response in both the treatment groups at week 12.
详细描述
This study will have two parts, Part A and Part B. Part A will be conducted in apparently healthy, adult human subjects to evaluate the safety between test and reference products and to assess the Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. After the Part A completed the result will be reviewed by DSMB. Then only after successful DSMB favorable opinion the Part B of the study will start. Part B will be conducted in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) to assess efficacy, tolerability and safety between test and reference products.
Descriptions for Part A and Part B of the study are as follows-
PART A
A Prospective, Randomized, Double blind, Parallel-group, Active controlled, Pk and safety study in Healthy, Adult, Human Subject by single subcutaneous injection. The sample size is 40. Single subcutaneous injection of 40 mg/ 0.4 ml dose of test or reference product will be administered as per the randomization schedule. In patient facility will be at least 12 hours prior to drug administration until 48 hrs post dose. The duration of the study will be 3 months. Housing 2 days, active / solicited safety follow-up for Adverse Events (either home visit or telephone call) will be performed from day 3 to day 8 and passive / un-solicited safety follow-up (spontaneous AE reporting by subject) will be performed for day 9 to day 64. Clinic visit at day 64 and day 90 for Safety evaluation.
Subjects will be screened for the inclusion/exclusion criteria based on: Demographic data, BMI, clinical history, physical examination (including vital signs), Haemogram, Random blood sugar, Serum bilirubin Total/Direct/Indirect, BUN, Serum urea, ALT (SGPT) blood, AST (SGOT) blood, Alkaline phosphatase serum, Serum creatinine, ECG, BNP, Chest X-ray (P/A view) (if required based on any significant past medical history and/or positive finding in respiratory system examination), Quantiferon TB gold plus, serology (HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C), Urinalysis, Amphetamines urine, Benzodiazepines urine, COVID-19 qRT-PCR. Breath alcohol test will be done during the screening.
