A randomized, double-blind, three-arm, parallel group, single-dose phase I study to evaluate the pharmacokinetic similarity between SB12 (a proposed eculizumab biosimilar) and eculizumab (Soliris) in healthy subjects.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To compare the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and immunogenicity between SB12 (a proposed eculizumab biosimilar) and the reference product (RP) eculizumab (i.e., European Union (EU)-sourced Soliris and United States (US)-sourced Soliris).

Materials and methods

In this phase I study, healthy adult subjects were randomized to receive a 300-mg dose of SB12 or RP eculizumab via intravenous infusion. The PK endpoints were area under the serum concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity and to the last quantifiable concentration, and maximum serum concentration. Bioequivalence for the PK endpoints was determined if the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the ratio of geometric least squared means (Lsmeans) were within the pre-defined bioequ
