About this study

Official title: Multi-center, Randomized, Open-Label, 2-Arm Parallel Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Tolerability of AVT02 Administered Subcutaneously Via Prefilled Syringe or Autoinjector in Healthy Adult Volunteers (ALVOPAD PEN)

This study has been designed as a multicentre, randomised, open label study of AVT02 in healthy adult subjects. The study will assess the PK, safety and tolerability of AVT02 in Pre-Filled Syringe compared to AVT02 in Autoinjector Pen. Both arms will use single dose of 40mg of AVT02 (Adalimumab)

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a multi-center, randomized, open-label, 2-arm parallel study of AVT02 administered via a PFS either manually via an autoinjector, in healthy adult subjects.

A total of 204 subjects will be recruited into this study and will be randomly assigned with a ratio of 1:1 to receive either AVT02 manually or via autoinjector. As the study is open-label, both the site staff and the subjects themselves will know which treatments are being administered.

The study consists of a screening period, admission and treatment period, assessment period and end of study (EOS) visit. Subjects will undertake a screening visit between Day -28 and Day -1 to determine eligibility in the study. Those subjects that meet the eligibility criteria will be admitted to the study site on the evening prior to dosing (Day -1) when continued eligibility will be assessed.

On Day 1 prior to dosing, baseline assessments will be performed. Subjects will then be dosed according to the randomization schedule. Following dosing, PK, safety, tolerability and immunogenicity assessments will be performed according to the study schedule (Table 6). Subjects will remain confined to the study site from Day -1 to Day 3 (48 hours post-dose). Subjects will return to the study site on Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8, Day 9, Day 12, Day 15, Day 22, Day 29, Day 36, Day 43, Day 50 and Day 57.

An EOS visit will occur at study Day 64 for final study assessments. The EOS visit will also be the early termination visit if required (to be completed within 7 days of early termination wherever possible).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • AdalimumabDrug

    Also called Humira ATC code L04AB0

    AVT02, a proposed similar biological product (biosimilar) of Humira which contains adalimumab . Adalimumab is a recombinant, fully human monoclonal immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) antibody that binds specifically and with high affinity to the soluble and transmembrane forms of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α thereby inhibiting the binding of TNF-α with its receptor, and inhibiting TNF -α's biological function.

    Tumor necrosis factor-α is a naturally occurring cytokine that is key to normal inflammatory and immune responses. Elevated levels of TNF-α are found in the synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis patients and psoriasis plaques and play an important role in both the pathologic inflammation and joint destruction that are hallmarks of these inflammatory disease

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve AUC0-t

    Venous blood samples will be collected for measurement of Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC 0-t) of AVT02 given in PFS and AVT02 given in autoinjector

    Measured: From baseline to day 64

  2. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve AUC0-inf

    Venous blood samples will be collected for measurement of Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC 0-t) of AVT02 given in PFS and AVT02 given in autoinjector

    Measured: From baseline to day 64

  3. Maximum serum concentration

    Venous blood samples will be collected for measurement of Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC 0-t) of AVT02 given in PFS and AVT02 given in autoinjector

    Measured: From baseline to day 64

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pain, Tenderness, Erythema and Swelling

    The injection sites will be monitored for pain, tenderness, erythema and swelling. Each injection site reaction will be categorised using the Injection Site Intensity Grading Scheme. All four outcome measures mentioned in the title will be measured from this one scheme. According to the Intensity Grading Scheme, the Pain, Tenderness, Erythema and Swelling will be measured as Absent (0), Mild (1), Moderate Severe(3) and Potentially Life Threatening.

    Measured: From baseline to day 64

  2. Anti Drug Antibodies (ADRs)

    Immunogenicity response will be determined from all patients treated with AVT02 from baseline to day 64 with a validated assay. Immunogenicity results (number of positive tested subjects/number of negative tested subjects; titer) will be summarized by treatment group (prefilled syringe group vs. autoinjector group). Immunogenicity assessments include antidrug antibodies (ADAs) and neutralizing antibodies (NAbs).

    Measured: From baseline to day 64

  3. Adverse Events

    Adverse events will be coded using MedDRA and grouped by system organ class and preferred term and summarised, by treatment group at the time of onset of the AE. The summary tables will present the number and percentage of total subjects and number of events, by system organ class and by preferred term. Injection related reactions will be listed and summarised by reaction using frequency counts and percentage, by treatment group

    Measured: Baseline to day 84

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Adalimumab in people with Phase 1, run by Alvotech Swiss AG at 2 sites in New Zealand.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 4 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in New Zealand. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 plasma concentration-time curve AUC0-t (time frame: From baseline to day 64). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 4 May 2022.
