Best Overall Response Rate (BORR) for Low Tumor Burden Follicular Lymphoma
Month 7 (Week 28)

Best Overall Response Rate (BORR) is defined as the proportion of participants in each treatment group that achieved a best overall response of either Complete response (CR), unconfirmed Complete response (CRu) or Partial response (PR), up to Month 7 (Week 28) based on central radiology review in accordance with the Cheson, 1999 response criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas. As per Cheson 1999, response criteria for target lesions and assessed by radiology: Complete response (CR): All lesions with a longest diameter should be regressed to normal size (≤ 15 mm) or short axis regressed to ≤ 10 mm with confirmed Bone marrow normalization; unconfirmed Complete response (CRu): All lesions with a longest diameter should be regressed to normal size (≤ 15 mm) or short axis regressed to ≤ 10 mm with non-confirmed Bone marrow normalization; Partial Response (PR): ≥ 50 % decrease of sum of products of diameter(SPD) of all the target lesions; Overall Response (OR)=CR+CRu+PR.

Frequently asked questions about DRL_RI

What is DRL_RI used for?

DRL_RI is an investigational monoclonal antibody being studied for use in rheumatoid arthritis and follicular lymphoma. It is being developed as a proposed biosimilar to rituximab, and clinical trials have evaluated it in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis and in patients with follicular lymphoma.

What does DRL_RI target?

DRL_RI targets CD20, a protein found on the surface of B cells. By binding to CD20, the antibody is designed to deplete B cells, which are involved in the inflammation of rheumatoid arthritis and the growth of follicular lymphoma. This mechanism is shared with the reference product rituximab.

Who makes DRL_RI?

DRL_RI is being developed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd, a pharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RDY. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the drug as a proposed biosimilar to rituximab.

What phase is DRL_RI in?

DRL_RI has completed a Phase 3 clinical trial in follicular lymphoma, and it has also completed a Phase 1 trial in rheumatoid arthritis. The drug is investigational and not yet approved by regulatory authorities. It remains in clinical development as a proposed biosimilar.

What clinical trials is DRL_RI in?

DRL_RI has been studied in two completed clinical trials. NCT02296775 was a Phase 1 study in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, enrolling 276 participants in India and Ukraine. NCT03976102 was a Phase 3 study in follicular lymphoma, enrolling 317 participants in the United States.

Is DRL_RI the same as rituximab?

DRL_RI is a proposed biosimilar to rituximab, which is marketed as MabThera. It is designed to be highly similar to the reference product, but it is not identical. Clinical trials have compared DRL_RI with MabThera to evaluate their pharmacokinetics, efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity.
