Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Patients Experiencing Anaphylactic Reactions
Within 24 hours of each study drug infusion: on Day 1 and Day 14

2006 NIAID/FAAN\* criteria were used for identification of anaphylactic reactions within 24h of each study drug infusion. For patients with no history of infusion-related reactions during their previous treatments with rituximab, symptoms/signs in at least 2 out of 4 organ systems: * Skin/mucosal tissue * Respiratory organs * Drop of systolic blood pressure (\<90 mmHg or variance from baseline \>30%) or associated symptoms * Gastrointestinal organs were defined as an anaphylactic reaction. The same criteria were also applied to patients with history of infusion-related reactions during their previous treatments with rituximab. In addition, if these patients experienced only a rapid drop in systolic blood pressure (\<90 mmHg or variance from baseline \>30%), this was defined as an anaphylactic reaction disregarding involvement of other organ systems. \* NIAID - National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases FAAN - Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network

Number of Patients Experiencing Hypersensitivity Reactions
24 weeks study duration

The standardized MedDRA query (SMQ) - Hypersensitivity reactions (SMQ 20000214) was used for the identification of hypersensitivity reactions overall from first infusion in the adverse event database.

Immunogenicity
24 weeks study duration

Number of patients tested positive for anti-drug-antibodies (ADA) post-randomization. Patients with negative ADA results at screening and at least one evaluable post-randomization ADA assessment are included in the analysis

Number of Patients Experiencing Potential Infusion-Related Reactions
On the day of and on the day after each study drug infusion (e.g. on study day 1 and 2 for the 1st study drug infusion and on study day 14 and 15 for the 2nd study drug infusion, if the second drug infusion was given on study day 14)

Patients, experienced infusion related reactions repeatedly (i.e. during the first and second infusion) are counted only once in the overall line.

Frequently asked questions about GP2013- A Proposed biosimilar rituximab

What is GP2013 used for?

GP2013 is an investigational biosimilar of rituximab being developed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It is a monoclonal antibody intended to work in a similar way to the reference product Rituxan or MabThera. GP2013 is currently in clinical development and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What does GP2013 target?

GP2013 is a proposed biosimilar of rituximab, which targets the CD20 antigen on B cells. By binding to CD20, it is designed to deplete B cells, which are involved in the inflammatory process of rheumatoid arthritis. This mechanism is intended to reduce disease activity in patients with this condition.

Who makes GP2013?

GP2013 is being developed by Novartis AG, a global pharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. Novartis is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GP2013 as a biosimilar to rituximab for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

What phase is GP2013 in?

GP2013 is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, meaning it has not yet been approved by regulatory agencies. The Phase 3 trial for GP2013 has been completed, and the results will inform potential regulatory submissions for marketing authorization.

What clinical trials is GP2013 in?

GP2013 has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial registered under NCT02514772. This trial, titled 'GP2013 Treatment in Patients With Active Rheumatoid Arthritis, Previously Treated With Rituxan® or MabThera®', enrolled 107 participants across the United States, Germany, Hungary, and Poland. The study was randomized, double-blind, and active-controlled.

Is GP2013 the same as rituximab?

GP2013 is a proposed biosimilar of rituximab, meaning it is designed to be highly similar to the reference biologic Rituxan or MabThera. While it is not identical, it is intended to have no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety and efficacy. GP2013 is being developed as an alternative to the originator rituximab product.
