This randomized controlled trial evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic bio-similarity of ADL-018, a biosimilar to omalizumab, in 306 healthy adults. The study found that ADL-018 was pharmacokinetically equivalent to both US-licensed and EU-approved omalizumab, with geometric mean ratios for AUC (0-last) of 1.08 and 1.06, respectively, confirming bioequivalence within the predefined margin.
Key findings
- ADL-018 showed AUC (0-last) GMRs of 1.08 vs US-OMA and 1.06 vs EU-OMA, confirming bioequivalence.
- Total IgE increase and free IgE decrease were comparable across all treatment arms.
- The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar among ADL-018 (6), US-OMA (5), and EU-OMA (4).
Why it matters
The findings support the use of ADL-018 as a biosimilar to omalizumab, indicating it may provide similar efficacy and safety profiles, which is crucial for treatment decisions in allergy management.
