    Background: BAT1706 is a proposed biosimilar of bevacizumab (Avastin (R)). We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of BAT1706 with that of EU-sourced reference bevacizumab (EU-bevacizumab) in patients with advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: Patients were randomized 1:1 to BAT1706 plus paclitaxel and carboplatin (BAT1706 arm) or EU-bevacizumab plus paclitaxel and carboplatin (EU-bevacizumab arm) given every 3 weeks for six cycles, followed by maintenance therapy with BAT1706 or EU-bevacizumab. The primary endpoint was overall response rate at week 18 (ORR18). Clinical equivalence was demonstrated if the 90% confidence interval (CI) of the BAT1706:EU-bevacizumab ORR18 risk ratio was contained within the predefined equivalence margins of 0.75-1.33 (China National Medical Products Administration requirements), or 0.73-1.36 (US Food and Drug Administration), or if the 95% CI of the ORR18 risk difference between treatments was contained within the predefined equivalence margin of -0.12 to 0.15 (EMA requirements).Results: In total, 649 randomized patients (BAT1706, n = 325; EU-bevacizumab, n = 324) received at least one cycle of combination treatment. The ORR18 was comparable between the BAT1706 and EU-bevacizumab arms (48.0% and 44.5%, respectively). The ORR(18 )risk ratio of 1.08 (90% CI: 0.94-1.24) and the ORR(18 )risk difference of 0.03 (95% CI: -0.04 to 0.11) were within the predefined equivalence margins, demonstrating the biosimilarity of BAT1706 and EU-bevacizumab. The safety profile of BAT1706 was consistent with that of EU-bevacizumab and no new safety signals were observed.Conclusion: In patients with advanced nonsquamous NSCLC, BAT1706 demonstrated clinical equivalence to EU-bevacizumab in terms of efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity.

    Tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of metastatic renal cell cancer patients with early cytokine intolerance: TURCOS, a Turkish national, prospective observational study
    (2020) Benekli, Mustafa; Gumus, Mahmut; Ozkan, Metin; Dane, Faysal; Elkiran, Emin T.; Cicin, Irfan; Sevinc, Alper; Aliustaoglu, Mehmet; Isikdogan, Abdurrahman; Meydan, Nezih; Oksuzoglu, Berna; Ozyilkan, Ozgur; Artac, Mehmet; Ozdemir, Feyyaz; Kilickap, Sadettin; 0000-0001-8825-4918; 33050804; AAD-2817-2021
    Objective Cytokines have been the mainstay of treatment in metastatic renal cell cancer (mRCC) for decades before the introduction of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which dramatically changed the therapeutic landscape in these patients. This observational study was designed to evaluate use of TKIs in the treatment of cytokine-intolerant mRCC patients. Methods A total of 151 cytokine-intolerant mRCC patients who were treated with TKIs (sunitinib, pazopanib and sorafenib) were enrolled in this prospective, non-interventional, multi-center observational study at 16 oncology centers across Turkey. Mean (SD) age was 61.3 (11.1) years and 74.8% were males. Data on duration of TKI treatment was the primary outcome measure. Additionally, overall response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and safety data were recorded. Results Median duration of treatment was 8.2 months at a median follow up of 17.9 months. ORR and disease control rate were 12.5% and 70.8%, respectively. Median PFS and OS were 7.5 months (95%CI: 6.4-10.4) and 27.3 months (95%CI: 17.6-27.3) with no significant difference among three TKI agents in terms of treatment duration, ORR, PFS and OS. The most common adverse events excluding progression-which was the protocol requirement were diarrhea (13.6%), asthenia (13.6%) and hand-foot syndrome (12.6%). Dose modifications were required in 30.5% of the patients and 15% discontinued TKIs because of toxicity. Conclusions Our findings confirm the efficacy and safety profile of TKIs in the first-line treatment of mRCC patients intolerant to cytokine treatment. There was no significant difference among three TKI agents in terms of treatment duration, ORR, PFS and OS.
