Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study of 3 products of epoetin alfa as single subcutaneous dose in healthy volunteers

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader

Abstract

Background

Hemax® is an epoetin alfa product developed by Biosidus S.A. in Argentina at the end of the 1980's and has been present in that market since 1991. The initial presentation was a lyophilized powder containing albumin as stabilizer, to best adapt to environmental conditions in developing countries; more recently, a prefilled syringe, albumin-free presentation was developed, since this presentation has become the preferred standard in many markets.

Objective

The primary objective was to compare the pharmacokinetic profile of different formulations of epoetin alfa after a single subcutaneous administration to healthy volunteers of 40,000 IU of Eprex/Erypo® and Hemax® PFS.

Methods

This clinical trial was conceived following an open label, randomized, 3-way 3-period cross-over balanced, and sequential design. The study was conducted on 24 healthy volunteers.

Results

To analyze similarity between Hemax® PFS and the innovator product, Eprex®, AUC and Cmax of both products have been compared. The 90%CI lower limit for the geometric mean ratios was higher than 80% for any comparisons and the 90%CI upper limit for these geometric ratios was below 125% for all the comparisons made, thus demonstrating equivalence between both products.

Conclusion

The comparison between Hemax® PFS and Eprex® resulted in similar 90%CI for Cmax, AUC(0-120 h) and AUC(0-inf) ratios, all of them within the 80-125% interval, with a power above 95% for each ratio. These findings suggest biosimilar patterns for absorption velocity (with Tmax close to 15 h), absorption extent and elimination (with an elimination half-life close to 25-30 h for each formulation)
