A randomized, double blind, single dose, comparative study of the pharmacokinetics, safety and immunogenicity of MB02 (bevacizumab biosimilar) and reference bevacizumab in healthy male volunteers.

Aims: The pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity between MB02, a proposed bevacizumab biosimilar, and reference bevacizumab approved from the USA (US-bevacizumab) and European Union (EU-bevacizumab) was evaluated. Safety and immunogenicity were also assessed.

Methods: In this phase 1, randomized, double blind, single dose, parallel group study, 114 healthy male volunteers were randomized 1:1:1 to receive a 3 mg/kg intravenous dose of MB02, US-bevacizumab or EU-bevacizumab, and evaluated for 100 days.
