Oncobiologics, Inc.,a biotherapeutics company focused on developing and commercializing biosimilars,announced today that ONS-3010, its adalimumab (Humira®) biosimilar candidate met the primary endpoints in its first clinical study.
A 3-arm single-dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study was performed in healthy volunteers to compare ONS-3010 to both the US- and EU-sourced Humira® reference products, and the two reference products to each other. All of the PK endpoints met the bioequivalency criteria of the geometric mean ratios within 90% confidence interval of 80-125%. These included: maximum serum concentration (Cmax), area under the time-concentration curve from first time point extrapolated to infinity (AUC0-inf), and area under the time-concentration curve from first to last time point measured (AUC0-t). Safety and immunogenicity were similar across the three arms. An exploratory ex vivo pharmacodynamic study also showed encouraging results between ONS-3010 and the reference products on TNF-α blockade and the induction of specific inflammatory responses. This first-in-human study was conducted by the Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) in Leiden, The Netherlands.
ONS-3010 is being developed as a biosimilar to adalimumab, an anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibody, which is approved in many countries for the treatment of multiple inflammatory diseases that include rheumatoid arthritis, plaque psoriasis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, as well as several pediatric indications. ONS-3010 has the same amino acid sequence, pharmaceutical dosage form, and strength but contains a formulation of different composition.
“The clinical PK similarity study is a required regulatory milestone for biosimilar development. We are excited to report that ONS-3010 has met the PK endpoints, which strengthens our confidence in achieving the global development of ONS-3010 as a biosimilar to Humira®,” stated Claude Nicaise, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Oncobiologics.
