About this study

Official title: A Randomised, Double Blind, Two-Arm, Single Dose, Parallel Phase I Study To Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Immunogenicity of MB02 (a Proposed Bevacizumab Biosimilar Drug) and EU Approved Avastin® in Japanese Healthy Male Volunteers

A Randomised, Double Blind, Two-Arm, Single Dose, Parallel Phase I Study To Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Immunogenicity of MB02 (a Proposed Bevacizumab Biosimilar Drug) and EU Approved Avastin® in Japanese Healthy Male Volunteers.

During the course of the study, the similarity in pharmacokinetics will be assessed by sampling the levels of drug in the blood, and by comparing these levels among the different administration arms. Safety, tolerability, and immunologic response to the administered drugs will also be evaluated throughout.

Read the detailed description

The primary PK parameter endpoint is AUC(0-∞) for bevacizumab. The secondary PK endpoints will include all other PK parameters for bevacizumab, including Cmax, tmax, t1/2, CL and AUClast.

The serum PK parameters of bevacizumab will be calculated using standard noncompartmental methods. An analysis of covariance model will be used to analyse the log-transformed primary PK parameters (AUC[0-∞] and Cmax) and AUClast. The model will include a fixed effect for treatment and body weight as a covariate.

All other PK parameters will not be subject to inferential statistical analysis.

Estimates of geometric mean ratios together with the corresponding 90% confidence intervals (CI) will be derived for the comparisons of the PK parameters as follows:

  • MB02 versus EU Avastin®

A mixed effects model with treatment arm as fixed effect will be used to compare natural-logarithmic transformed PK parameters (AUC[0-∞+, AUClast and Cmax) between the two treatment arms (MB02 vs EU-approved Avastin®)

PK similarity between arms will be concluded if the 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the geometric mean test/reference ratio of AUC(0-∞) fell within the predefined 0.80-1.25 bioequivalence interval.

All AEs will be listed and summarised using descriptive methodology. All observed or patient-reported AEs will be graded by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. The incidence of AEs for each treatment will be presented by severity and by association with the study drugs as determined by the Investigator (or designee). Each AE will be coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. All safety data will be listed and summarised as appropriate.

Immunogenicity data (overall ADA incidence and titers, and neutralising ADA results) will be listed. A summary of the number and percent of subjects testing positive for ADA or neutralising antibodies before the dose of MB02, EU Avastin® (Day -1) and at scheduled post-dose assessments will be presented by treatment arm. All safety data and immunogenicity data summaries will be based on the safety analysis population. Select analyses may be repeated for subsets with or without ADA and de novo ADA formation as appropriate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MB02 (Bevacizumab Biosimilar) and EU approved Avastin® in people with Healthy Volunteers and Male, run by mAbxience Research S.L. at 1 site in Japan.

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 28 inclusion and 25 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 23 Mar 2021. 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 Japan. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Feb 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity [AUC(0-∞)] (time frame: Predose, end of infusion, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12, 24 h post-dose on Day 1-8, Day 10, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 38, Day 50, Day 62, and Day 70.). 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 NCT04238650, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 23 Mar 2021.
