[Efficacy and safety of sampeginterferon β-1a in the treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis: results of 52 weeks of therapy in a randomized, double-blind clinical trial].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of samPEG-IFN-β1a 180 μg and 240 μg administered once every 2 weeks for the treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) compared to placebo and low dose interferon beta-1a (LIB) 30 μg administered once weekly. The primary endpoint after 52 weeks of therapy was the time to first relapse, the hypotheses of non-inferiority and superiority to LIB were tested.

Material And Methods: This international, multicenter, double blind, comparative, placebo-controlled clinical study enrolled 399 patients with the diagnosis of RRMS, randomized in 4 groups: samPEG-IFN-β1a180 μg (=114), samPEG-IFN-β1a 240 μg (=114), LIB (=114) and placebo (=57).

[The new pegylated interferon beta-1a (sampeginterferon beta-1a, BCD-054) in the treatment of remitting multiple sclerosis].

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of BCD 054 180 μg and 240 μg administered once every 2 weeks for the treatment of remitting multiple sclerosis compared to placebo and low dose interferon beta-1a (LIB) 30 μg administered once weekly. Results of a 20 week blinded interim analysis from a double blind, comparative, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical study are included.

Material And Methods: This multinational, multicentre, double blind, comparative, placebo-controlled study enrolled 399 patients with the diagnosis of remitting multiple sclerosis: 114 patients in the sampeginterferon beta 1a and LIB groups each and 57 patients in the placebo group.

[Results of a phase 1 clinical study of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (BCD-132): pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and safety].

Aim: To study the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity of two intravenous dosing regimens of the new anti-B-cells drug BCD-132 (JSC BIOCAD, Russia) at ascending doses in patients with remitting multiple sclerosis.

Material And Methods: Twenty-four patients with multiple sclerosis were sequentially randomized in the multicenter open-label uncontrolled multicohort phase I study (3+3 design) and assigned to 4 cohorts (8 groups). Patients in each cohort received an intravenous infusion of BCD-132 at a predefined dose ranging from 100 to 1000 mg based on the planned algorithm of dose escalation if no dose-limiting toxicities occurred.

Objectives: To evaluate efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the treatment with teberif/interferon β-1a, to analyze safety, tolerability and dynamics of key efficacy variables after switching from referent drug rebif to biosimilar teberif in patients with remitting multiple sclerosis (RMS).

Material And Methods: During the main period of the international multicenter randomized study patients were randomized to receive treatment with teberif for 52 weeks, or rebif for 52 weeks, or placebo for 16 weeks to evaluate efficacy and safety of treatment. After the main study period, patients were group-independently switched to take open-label teberif treatment during the next 48 weeks.

[Possibilities of using cepeginterferon alpha-2b in double (cepeginterferon alfa-2b and ribavirin) and triple (simeprevir, cepeginterferon alpha-2b, and ribavirin) antiviral therapy regimens for chronic hepatitis C. A review of clinical trials and experience of everyday clinical practice].

Since the incidence of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) increases steadily, the priority of national health care is to provide antiviral therapy (AVT) for the maximum number of patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The regimens including pegylated interferons (PEG-IFN) are still in demand in the Russian Federation. A number of clinical trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of cepeginterferon alpha-2b (cePEG-IFN alpha-2b), an original PEG-IFN-α developed in the Russian Federation.
