A Phase 3 interventional study of Humira 40 MG in Prefilled Syringe and Hulio 40 MG in Prefilled Syringe / Humira 40 MG in Prefilled Syringe in Moderate Chronic Plaque Psoriasis and Severe Chronic Plaque Psoriasis, sponsored by Biocon Biologics Inc.. Completed at 36 sites in 4 countries. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-10-22.
Sponsored by Biocon Biologics Inc. · Phase 3, Interventional, and Treatment
Hulio is a monoclonal antibody currently approved as a biosimilar to European Union approved and United States (US)-Licensed Humira.
This is a multicenter, randomized blinded, parallel group, interchangeability study in subjects with moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis, undergoing repeated switches between Humira and Hulio. The study is designed to confirm the pharmacokinetic equivalence of alternating between the use of Humira and Hulio and, Humira without such alternation or switch, in accordance with the US Food and Drug Administration Guidance for Industry, Considerations in Demonstrating Interchangeability with a Reference Product.
The study will also assess safety, efficacy and immunogenicity between these two groups.
This is the only study on the registry with Biocon Biologics Inc. as lead sponsor.

Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment into the study:
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects must not be enrolled in the study if they meet any of the following criteria:
Has laboratory abnormalities, including but not limited to clinically significant hematological abnormalities, that, in the opinion of the PI or designee, could cause this study to be detrimental to the subject. The subjects should be excluded if they have the following laboratory abnormalities
Subjects receive Humira continuously both during Run-in period and Randomized interchangeable treatment period. Run-in Period: Subjects will receive Humira (initial dose of 80 mg \[2 × 40 mg\]; Day 1 administered subcutaneously (SC), followed by 40 mg SC given every other week starting 1 week after the initial dose (last dose at Week 10). Randomized interchangeable treatment period: Subjects continue to receive Humira (40 mg every other week) until Week 26

Time frame: Week 26 - 28
A total of 374 subjects were randomized into the randomized interchangeable treatment period which comprised of two groups, Group 1 and Group 2. Subjects in Group 1 (N=193), continued to receive Humira (40 mg every other week) until Week 26/Visit 14; While subjects in Group 2 (N=181), underwent multiple switches until Week 26/Visit 14: Hulio (40 mg every other week) for 4 weeks, Humira (40 mg every other week) for 4 weeks, and Hulio (40 mg every other week) for 8 weeks.
