Abstract

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the similarities between LBEC0101 (etanercept biosimilar) and the etanercept reference product (ETN-RP) in terms of efficacy and safety, including immunogenicity, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis despite methotrexate treatment.

METHODS This phase III, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, 54-week study was conducted in Japan and Korea. The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in the disease activity score in 28 joints based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) at week 24. American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) response rate, adverse events (AEs), pharmacokinetics and development of antidrug antibodies (ADAs) were also evaluated.

RESULTS In total, 374 patients were randomised to LBEC0101 (n=187) or ETN-RP (n=187). The least squares mean changes from baseline in DAS28-ESR at week 24 in the per-protocol set were -3.01 (95% CI -3.198 to -2.820) in the LBEC0101 group and -2.86 (95% CI -3.051 to -2.667) in the ETN-RP group. The estimated between-group difference was -0.15 and its 95% CI was -0.377 to 0.078, which was within the prespecified equivalence margin of -0.6 to 0.6. ACR20 response rates at week 24 were similar between the groups (LBEC0101 93.3% vs ETN-RP 86.7%). The incidence of AEs up to week 54 was comparable between the groups (LBEC0101 92.0% vs ETN-RP 92.5%), although fewer patients in the LBEC0101 group (1.6%) than the ETN-RP group (9.6%) developed ADAs.

CONCLUSION The clinical efficacy of LBEC0101 was equivalent to that of ETN-RP. LBEC0101 was well tolerated and had a comparable safety profile to ETN-RP.

Figure 1 Patient disposition. A total of 517 patients were screened and 374 patients were randomised. Almost equal numbers of patients in Japan and Korea were allocated to each treatment group. Period I and period II mean weeks 0–24 and weeks 24–52, respectively. AEs, adverse events; ETN-RP, etanercept reference product.
