Study Notes

Biosimilar Rituximab (CT-P10) vs. Reference Rituximab (RTX) in Active Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

  • A Phase 3 randomized controlled trial (RCT) compared the pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of CT-P10 (a biosimilar rituximab) to RTX (reference rituximab) in patients with active RA.
  • The study enrolled 372 patients with active RA who had previously received inadequate response to or were intolerant of TNF-antagonist treatment.
  • The study's primary endpoint was PK equivalence of CT-P10, US RTX, and EU RTX over 24 weeks, with a secondary endpoint of efficacy equivalence of CT-P10 and RTX.
  • The trial demonstrated PK equivalence between CT-P10 and RTX up to week 24, showing similar serum concentration profiles for both drugs over time.
  • CT-P10 and RTX groups also exhibited similar efficacy, with the primary efficacy analyses at week 24 showing comparable levels of disease activity.
  • Similar immunogenicity profiles were observed between groups, with low rates of antibody development in both groups.
  • CT-P10 demonstrated acceptable safety, comparable to RTX, with no unexpected safety concerns reported.
  • Importantly, the study found no significant differences in adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and immunogenicity profiles between CT-P10 and RTX.
