Title: Rheumatoid Arthritis – Small Molecules, Biologics and Gene Therapy Poster III: Efficacy and Safety of Originator Biologics and Biosimilars

Session Type: ACR Poster Session C

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose: CHS-0214 is a proposed biosimilar to etanercept for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other auto-immune diseases. Two randomized, double-blind studies demonstrated equivalence of CHS-0214 to etanercept in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and chronic plaque psoriasis (PsO). This ongoing, open-label, safety extension study evaluates the long-term safety of and durability of response to CHS-0214 in patients who completed Week 48 of a prior trial.

Methods: All patients are to receive open-label CHS-0214 50 mg weekly for at least 48 weeks. Patients are evaluated at 1 and 3 months post enrollment and every 3 months thereafter. Patients had to have achieved an ACR20 or a PASI50 at Week 48 in the prior trial. The primary endpoints are maintenance of response (ACR20 or PASI50) at Week 4, Week 12 and every 3 months thereafter during the study.

Results: This interim analysis included 359 patients with a mean duration of treatment of 31.45 weeks of open-label CHS-0214 in addition to 48 weeks of treatment in the prior study. Of those, 56.5% were female, 49.6% were Asian, and 44.3% were white. Mean age was 49.9 years, and mean body mass index was 27.1. Of the 359 (225 with RA and 134 with PsO), 357 received ≥1 dose of study drug.

Overall, 197 (87.9%) patients with RA had achieved a durable response (maintenance of ACR20), and 118 (90.1%) of patients with PsO had achieved a durable response (maintenance of PASI50) as of the data cut-off date. Loss of efficacy was a factor in study discontinuation for 5 patients. Treatment-emergent adverse events were reported in 216 (60.5%) patients, and serious TEAE were reported in 14 (3.9%) patients. Four (1.1%) patients had a TEAE that led to study drug discontinuation. The most common (>5%) TEAEs were nasopharyngitis and upper respiratory tract infection.

Conclusion: The majority of patients maintained an efficacious response to treatment with CHS-0214. Treatment was well tolerated and the incidence of TEAEs did not increase with ongoing drug exposure. No new safety signals were identified in these patients with an average of 80 weeks of treatment.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
