Double-blind Study to Evaluate the PK, Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of MB12 Versus Keytruda® in Stage IV NSCLC
174 patients around the world
Available in Chile, Argentina
MB12 is being developed by mAbxience Research S.L., and its clinical development is
sponsored by Laboratorio Elea Phoenix S.A. as a proposed biosimilar to Keytruda®. The
reference medicinal product is European Union (EU)-sourced Keytruda®, manufactured and
marketed by Merck Sharp & Dohme.
Study drugs: MB12 and Keytruda® Study drug administration: intravenous infusion Dosing
instructions: 200 mg administered over 30 minutes, every 3 weeks
The study will consist of 2 periods defined as follows:
- Main Study Period from Screening up to Cycle 6 included.
- Extended Treatment Period from Cycle 7 up to Week 52 for those subjects who
demonstrate clinical benefit from the treatment (CR, PR, and SD). They will continue
treatment until disease progression, intolerance to the study drug, treatment
discontinuation for other reason, or up to Week 52, whichever occurs first.
The anti-tumor activity will be determined by local radiological examination for all
measurable and evaluable lesions according to RECIST version 1.1. During the Main Study
Period, the efficacy assessments will be performed every 6 weeks from the first infusion
(Cycle 1, Day 1). During the Extended Treatment Period, the assessments will be performed
every 9 weeks, from Week 18 onwards, according to RECIST criteria, until disease
progression, intolerance to the study drug, treatment discontinuation for other reason,
or up to 52 weeks, whichever occurs first.
Safety assessments include vital signs, physical examination, ECOG performance status,
12-lead ECGs, clinical laboratory assessments (hematology, clinical chemistry, thyroid
function, coagulation, virology, urinalysis, and pregnancy tests), and AE assessments.
The primary PK parameter is AUCss at Cycle 6. Serum concentrations used for estimating
AUCss will be determined by a validated analytical procedure once steady state (5
elimination half-lives) has been reached.
Secondary PK parameters, including maximum concentration (Cmax), minimum concentration
(Ctrough), time to maximum concentration (tmax), clearance (CL), elimination half-life
(t1/2), and volume of distribution (Vss), will be calculated for Cycle 1 and Cycle 6, as
applicable. Additional PK parameters may be included if deemed appropriate.
PK variables will be calculated according to the recommendations of the European
Medicines Agency (EMA) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
Blood samples for PK analysis will be collected at Cycle 1 and Cycle 6 as follows:
predose; at 30 minutes after the SOI; at 4, 6, 24, 48, 168, 336, and 504 hours after the
SOI.
The comparison of the immunogenicity profile of MB12 versus Keytruda® during the Main
Study and Extended Treatment Periods include:
- ADAs
- Nabs in ADA (+) samples
- Titers in ADA (+) samples During the Main Study Period, blood samples for
immunogenicity will be collected pre-dose at Cycle 1 Day 1, Cycle 1 Day 14, pre-dose
at Cycle 3 Day 1, and pre-dose at Cycle 6 Day 1. During the Extended Treatment
Period, 2 additional samples will be collected in those subjects who continue
treatment after Cycle 6 at Week 26 and at Week 52 or EOT/early termination (if this
occurs before Week 52 and if previous sample has not been taken within the last 16
weeks).

Medical requirements
- Individuals must meet all of the following criteria to be included in the study:Willing and able to provide written informed consent for the study before the initiation of any study-specific procedures.Greater than or equal to 18 years of age at the time of signing the ICF.Body weight ≥50 kg at Screening.Having newly diagnosed stage IV (defined by the eighth edition of the TNM classification) non-squamous NSCLC, without prior systemic treatment for the disease. For those subjects in whom the pleural or pericardial effusion is the only location of metastatic disease, confirmation of its malignant etiology is required.At least 1 radiographically measurable lesion per RECIST version 1.1, locally assessed.Programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression ≥50%, locally determined by immunohistochemistry, as determined by a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) validated method.Life expectancy of at least 3 months.ECOG performance status of 0 to 1.Adequate hepatic, renal, hematologic, endocrine, and coagulation function, defined as:Liver function: bilirubin level ≤1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) (≤3 × ULN for subjects with Gilbert's syndrome), albumin level ≥ lower limit of normal (LLN), aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5 × ULN in subjects without liver metastases or ≤5 × ULN in subjects with liver metastases.Renal function: serum creatinine level ≤1.5 × ULN, calculated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula).Hematologic function: absolute neutrophil count ≥1.5 × 109/L; platelet count ≥100 × 109/L, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL.Endocrine function: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) within normal limits. If TSH is not within normal limits, the subject may still be eligible if T3 and free T4 are within normal limits.Coagulation: international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy. Subjects on anticoagulant therapy must be on a stable anticoagulation regimen and have an INR not above the target therapeutic range for the 14 days before the first dose of the study drug.Subjects with a negative COVID-19 test (done at the discretion of investigator or per local regulation) within previous 24 hours before randomization. In case of confirmed COVID-19 infection before Screening, documentation of resolution of infection by appropriate laboratory test is required.No history of prior malignancy, except for basal cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or cervical cancer in situ, or has undergone potentially curative therapy without evidence of disease recurrence for 3 years from the start of that therapy.Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must either abstain from sexual intercourse or employ highly effective contraception measures during the study and for at least 6 months after the last dose of the study drug.
