Brief Summary  

It iMulticenter randomized double-blind phase III clinical trial comparing safety and efficacy of BCD-022 (CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) used with paclitaxel to Herceptin® (F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd, Switzerland) used with paclitaxel in the first-line treatment of HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer patients.The main objective of the study is to evaluate overall response rate and other efficacy parameters, Incident and severity of adverse events, determination of Serum concentration of trastuzumab after the first administration and incidence and concentration of anti-trastuzumab antibodies in patients with HER2(+) mBC treated with BCD-022 or Herceptin® administered in combination with paclitaxel. 40 patients with HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer will be recrited into the study. After signing the informed consent and completing screening procedures, patients will be stratified and randomly assigned (randomized) to receive BCD-022 and paclitaxel or Herceptin® and paclitaxel in 1:1 ratio.The study will be conducted at 18 sites of India.

Trastuzumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb), specific to HER2 extracellular domain. Number of randomized clinical studies showed that trastuzumab in combination with or followed by adjuvant chemotherapy significantly increases treatment efficacy in patients with early stage BC. Trastuzumab in patients with HER2+ BC reduces relapse rate by approximately 2 folds and mortality – by one third. According to these data, trastuzumab was approved as therapy standard for early stages HER2+ BC. Trastuzumab addition to the therapy of metastatic BC and metastatic GC also increases therapy efficacy.CJSC BIOCAD has developed a trastuzumab which is a full equivalent (biosimilar) of Herceptin®. The full cycle of biosimilar trastuzumab production is localized in Russia. Preclinical studies of trastuzumab manufactured by CJSC BIOCAD show that its pharmacokinetics and toxicity are equivalent to those of Herceptin®. Studies conducted on primates showed no significant differences in CJSC BIOCAD trastuzumab and Herceptin® safety parameters. Multicenter double-blind randomized clinical study of BCD-022 (CJSC BIOCAD, Russia) and Herceptin® (F.Hoffmann-La Roche., Switzerland) showed that safety and pharmacokinetic profiles of these drugs were equivalent when used in combination with paclitaxel in mBC HER2+ patients. Consequently, BCD-022 can be recommended for further clinical study of safety and efficacy in this population.
