      Background:
      PF-06439535, a potential biosimilar to bevacizumab, is a humanized monoclonal IgG1 antibody that targets the vascular endothelial growth factor. This study (B7391001) compared the pharmacokinetics (PK) of PF-06439535 to bevacizumab sourced from the US (bevacizumab-US) and EU (bevacizumab–EU), and the PK of bevacizumab-EU to bevacizumab–US in healthy male volunteers.

      Methods:
      In this double-blind study, 102 healthy males, aged 21-55 years, were randomized 1:1:1 to receive a single 5 mg/kg intravenous dose of PF-06439535, bevacizumab-US, or bevacizumab-EU. One subject discontinued before dosing. Assessments for PK were conducted for 71 days, with extended safety and immunogenicity assessments up to 100 days postdose. PK similarity was achieved if 90% confidence intervals (CIs) for the test-to-reference ratios of the maximum concentration (C~max~), the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to the last quantifiable time point (AUC~T~), and AUC from time 0 extrapolated to infinity (AUC~0-∞~) were within 80.00%–125.00%.

      Results:
      Ninety-seven subjects were eligible and included in the PK analysis. The demographics of the PK eligible subjects were comparable among the 3 treatment groups. The 3 study drugs exhibited similar PK parameters (Table 1). For the comparisons of PF-06439535 to bevacizumab-EU or bevacizumab-US, and of bevacizumab-EU to bevacizumab-US, the 90% CIs for the ratios of C~max~, AUC~T~, and AUC~0-∞~ were all within 80.00%–125.00% (Table 2). Treatment-related adverse events were reported in 15.2%, 25.7%, and 18.2% of subjects in the PF-06439535, bevacizumab-EU, and bevacizumab-US treatment arms, respectively.

      Conclusion:
      This study demonstrates PK similarity of PF-06439535 to both bevacizumab-US and bevacizumab-EU, and of bevacizumab-EU to bevacizumab-US. The safety profile was similar in the 3 treatment groups with no significant safety findings reported.
