  • Title: Analysis of clinical trials of biosimilar infliximab (CT-P13) and comparison against historical clinical studies with the infliximab reference medicinal product.
    Author: Yoo DH, Oh C, Hong S, Park W.
    Journal: Expert Rev Clin Immunol; 2015; 11 Suppl 1():S15-24. PubMed ID: 26395833.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To examine whether efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) data observed with CT-P13 (Remsima(®); Inflectra(®)), an infliximab biosimilar, are similar to those from published reports with the reference medicinal product (RMP; Remicade(®)) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or ankylosing spondylitis (AS). METHODS: Literature searches were performed to identify clinical studies with infliximab RMP. Efficacy, safety and PK data were indirectly compared with data from head-to-head clinical trials of CT-P13 and RMP. RESULTS: CT-P13 and RMP produce similar efficacy in patients with RA and AS when compared across clinical studies. There are no substantial differences in the incidence of infusion-related reactions, infections, serious infections, malignancy or lymphoma. PK data in patients with RA are similar in direct comparisons and comparisons with historical data. CONCLUSION: Efficacy, safety and PK data are highly comparable between CT-P13 and RMP, both in head-to-head clinical studies, and indirect comparisons with historical clinical data for RMP.
