About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double-blind, Single-dose, Parallel-group Study in Healthy Subjects to Demonstrate Pharmacokinetic Equivalence of CinnoRA® (Produced by CinnaGen CO.) and Humira® (the Reference Drug, Produced by AbbVie Inc.)

This study aims to demonstrate pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity of biosimilar candidate CinnoRA® relative to adalimumab reference product (Humira®) and evaluate safety and tolerability of CinnoRA®, in a parallel fashion in healthy volunteers after administration of a single dose (40 mg) of adalimumab.

The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the PK of CinnoRA® is similar to its originator, Humira®, as assessed by the area under the serum concentration time curve (AUC) from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) and the Cmax.

The secondary objectives of the study are:

  • To further compare the PK of CinnoRA® and Humira®.
  • To assess the safety of CinnoRA®.
Read the detailed description

This is a single-dose trial with one administration of each product (CinnoRA® and Humira®). Each subject will participate in one treatment period, and will be randomised to receive CinnoRA® or Humira® in a parallel fashion. The subjects will be closely monitored during the following 24 hours (h), and will be allowed to leave the site in the next morning post evaluation and blood samples will be collected prior to and at the following time points after the dose: 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours post-dose (on day 2). The subjects will be requested to visit the trial site on days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15, 22, 29, 36, 43, 50, 57, 63 and 71 after dose for blood sampling and evaluation of safety variable and tolerability.

Before initiation, the trial is reviewed by food and drug administration of Iran. The protocol, case report form (CRF), information for subjects and informed consent form are submitted to the ethics committees responsible for review and approval purposes, according to national regulatory guidelines.

In this study, no subject is recruited without an informed consent. All the informed consent forms which are signed by the subjects have two copies so that subjects could receive a copy of it.

This is a single-dose trial with one administration of each product (CinnoRA® and Humira®). 74 (group A=37, group B=37) eligible subjects have been planned to enter to the study. All of whom are aged between 18 and 45 years. Subjects' randomization was done, using permuted block randomization method. Both groups received 40 mg of either of the drugs as a single subcutaneous injection. The injection method, injection pens and cartridges were totally the same in both groups. The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the PK of CinnoRA® is similar to its originator, Humira®, as assessed by the area under the serum concentration time curve (AUC) from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf) and the Cmax. Secondary objectives include assessment of the time to Cmax (tmax), AUC from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast) of CinnoRA® compared with Humira®, as well as evaluation of safety and tolerability. The safety endpoints of the trial are to evaluate the incidence of reported adverse effects, detecting changes in vital signs, clinical laboratory tests (hematologic, biochemistry, urine analysis and urine culture tests) and ECG.

Determination of sample size:

An equivalence test of means AUCinf using two one-sided tests on data from a parallel-group design with sample sizes of 37 in the reference group and 37 in the treatment group achieves 81% power at a 10% significance level when the true ratio of the means AUCinf is 1.00, the coefficient of variation on the original, unlogged scale is 0.38, and the equivalence limits of the mean ratio AUCinf are 0.80 and 1.25.

DATA QUALITY ASSURANCE:

CinnaGen Company conducts clinical trials according to procedures that incorporate the ethical principles of GCP. Accurate and reliable data collection was assured by verification and cross-check of the CRFs against the subject's records by clinical monitors (source document verification was performed), and the maintenance of a drug-dispensing log by the center. A comprehensive validation check program was used to verify the data, and discrepancy reports were generated accordingly for resolution by the investigator.

Blinding:

This is a double-blind trial. During the clinical phase of the trial, neither the subjects nor the site personnel are aware of the identity (CinnoRA® and Humira®) of the treatments administered. However, there is an unblinded person who receives the randomisation list and dispenses the trial drugs according to the list. The unblinded person is not otherwise participate in the execution of the trial. The randomisation list determines the dispensing order of the trial products for each subject and only the randomisation number appear on the sample collection logs, as well as, on the sample aliquots delivered to the bioanalytical laboratory. Thus, the personnel responsible for analysing the PK samples are also be blinded.

Randomisation envelopes are stored in the ISF, in a locked cabinet. In a case of emergency, the code of an individual subject may be opened and the reasons for opening will be documented and the subject will be discontinued from the trial

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf)

    AUCinf will be calculated using the equation:AUCinf= AUClast + (Clast / Kel)

    Measured: 71 days

  2. Maximum serum concentration (Cmax)

    It is obtained directly from the observed concentration-time data

    Measured: 71 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration (AUClast)

    It is calculated using the linear trapezoidal rule

    Measured: 71 days

  2. Time to Cmax (Tmax)

    It is obtained directly from the observed concentration-time data

    Measured: 71 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Adalimumab in people with Bioequivalence and Phase 1, run by Cinnagen at 1 site in Iran.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Iran. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Area under the concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity (AUCinf) (time frame: 71 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03273192, which also lists 7 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Sep 2018.
