Purpose: This first-in-human study with SB3 was designed to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) equivalence between SB3 and trastuzumab sourced in the European Union (EU trastuzumab), between SB3 and trastuzumab sourced in the United States (US trastuzumab), and between EU and US trastuzumab (NCT02075073).
Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, parallel group, single-dose comparative PK study, 109 healthy male subjects were randomized to receive a single 6-mg/kg IV dose of SB3, EU -trastuzumab, or US trastuzumab. The PK parameters were calculated using noncompartmental methods. The PK equivalence in terms of AUC0--∞), AUC0-last, and Cmax for the pairwise comparisons (SB3 vs EU trastuzumab, SB3 vs US trastuzumab, and EU trastuzumab vs US trastuzumab) were determined using the predefined equivalence margin of 0.8 to 1.25.
Findings: Baseline demographic characteristics for the randomized subjects were similar across the 3 groups. The 90% CIs for the geometric least square means of the AUC0-∞, AUC0-last, and Cmax were completely contained within the margin of 0.8 to 1.25. The proportions of subjects who experienced adverse events related to the study drug were 36.1%, 44.4%, and 61.1% in the SB3, EU trastuzumab, and US trastuzumab groups, respectively. The most frequently reported adverse events related to the study drug was infusion-related reactions. No subjects had positive results for antidrug antibodies after a single dose of SB3, EU trastuzumab, or US trastuzumab.
Implications: This study revealed PK equivalence between SB3 and EU trastuzumab, between SB3 and US trastuzumab, and between EU trastuzumab and US trastuzumab. SB3 is well tolerated without tolerability concerns after single-dose administration in healthy male subjects.

Aim: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in women and ranks second among causes for cancer related death in women. Trastuzumab originator (Herceptin) is a monoclonal antibody used as a standard treatment for breast and metastatic gastric cancer when the cancer cells over-express human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2). As the patent of Trastuzumab has now expired, biosimilars are moving into the market.

Purpose: Dual blockade with trastuzumab and pertuzumab in combination with chemotherapy is the recommended first-line therapy for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive metastatic breast cancer (mBC). The purpose of this retrospective study is to examine the clinical outcomes of the trastuzumab biosimilar SB3 in first-line dual blockade treatment using real-world data of patients with HER-positive mBC.
Methods: In Denmark, all women with breast cancer are registered in the database of the Danish Breast Cancer Group (DBCG).
