DGAP-News: Cinfa Biotech, S.L. / Key word(s): Conference Cinfa Biotech publishes clinical data abstract at the 58th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting 2016 Pamplona, Spain, 02 December 2016 – Cinfa Biotech S.L., the biosimilars company of Infarco group, today announced that an abstract has been published at the 58th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) in San Diego, CA, from December 3-6, 2016. Abstract publication number 5079 titled: “Demonstration of Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Equivalence in Healthy Volunteers for B12019, a New Proposed Pegfilgrastim Biosimilar“ reports further data from a clinical trial evaluating pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) equivalence of Cinfa Biotech’s lead development candidate B12019, a biosimilar version of Neulasta(R) (pegfilgrastim) to treat chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. The single-dose, randomized, double-blind, cross-over study enrolled 172 healthy volunteers in Germany. It primarily investigated PK and PD of B12019 compared to Neulasta(R). The study met all of its primary endpoints for pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Curve for concentration (AUC0-last) and Cmax; plus pharmacodynamics (PD): Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) and Area Under the Effect Curve (AUEC). For all endpoints, the Confidence Intervals (CI) for the Geometric Mean Ratio (GMR) were well contained within the pre-specified margins of 80 to 125%. The safety profile of B12019 did not show any clinically meaningful difference as compared to Neulasta(R). Neither anti-G-CSF nor neutralising antibodies were detected for both, B12019 and Neulasta(R). The full abstract can be accessed at: www.bloodjournal.org/ A poster presentation with full data from the trial will be delivered at the European Cancer Congress (ECCO) in Amsterdam, on 29 January 2017.
