Compare the Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of Proposed Rituximab Biosimilar (DRL_RI) With MabThera® in LTB Follicular Lymphoma (FLINTER)

NCT03976102

Description:

The primary objective of the current study is to demonstrate the equivalent efficacy of rituximab (DRL_RI) and MabThera® in subjects with Low Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma (LTB-FL). Also evaluated by Pharmacokinetic, safety, and immunogenicity assessment between a proposed biosimilar (DRL_RI) and the RMP, as an component of clinical study program, and collectively providing the evidence of biosimilarity. The study will compare the safety and efficacy of DRL_RI vs MabThera in patients with Low Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma (LTB-FL). The primary objective is to establish comparative efficacy as measured by ORR at week 28

Purpose

The primary objective of the current study is to demonstrate the equivalent efficacy of rituximab (DRL_RI) and MabThera® in subjects with Low Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma (LTB-FL). Also evaluated by Pharmacokinetic, safety, and immunogenicity assessment between a proposed biosimilar (DRL_RI) and the RMP, as an component of clinical study program, and collectively providing the evidence of biosimilarity. The study will compare the safety and efficacy of DRL_RI vs MabThera in patients with Low Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma (LTB-FL). The primary objective is to establish comparative efficacy as measured by ORR at week 28

Detailed Description

      It is planned to randomise approx. 284 subjects at approximately 130 study sites worldwide.
      Subjects with LTB-FL will be randomized to receive either DRL_RI or MabThera®. Till date, 68
      patients have been randomized for the study.

      The study specific objectives are mentioned below:

      Primary Objective:

        -  To demonstrate the equivalent efficacy of DRL_RI (biosimilar rituximab) and MabThera in
           subjects with CD20-positive, LTB FL, as measured by overall response rate (ORR) at Week
           28 Secondary Objectives:

        -  To compare the progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and duration of
           response (DOR) of DRL_RI with MabThera in subjects with CD20-positive, LTB FL.

        -  To compare the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of DRL_RI with MabThera in
           subjects with CD20-positive, LTB-FL.

      Exploratory Objectives

        -  To explore the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of DRL_RI and MabThera, using a
           population-PK modelling approach.

        -  To explore the pharmacodynamic parameters of DRL_RI and MabThera.
