Celltrion’s latest clinical study, titled A Randomized, Double-blind, Two-arm, Parallel-group, Single-dose, Phase 1 Study to Compare the Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Immunogenicity of Subcutaneous CT-P6 and Herceptin in Healthy Male Subjects, aims to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety, and immunogenicity of CT-P6, a biosimilar to Herceptin, in healthy male subjects. This study is significant as it could lead to a more affordable alternative to Herceptin, enhancing patient access to treatment.
The study tests two interventions: the experimental CT-P6 SC and the active comparator, EU-approved Herceptin SC. Both are biological treatments administered subcutaneously at a dose of 600 mg/5 mL, intended to demonstrate similar efficacy and safety profiles.
This Phase 1 study employs a randomized, parallel-group design with triple masking, meaning participants, care providers, and investigators are unaware of the treatment allocations. The primary purpose is to assess treatment effects, ensuring unbiased results.
Key dates for this study include its start on March 25, 2025, with the latest update submitted on July 8, 2025. These dates are crucial for tracking the study’s progress and anticipating when results might influence market dynamics.
The successful development of CT-P6 could impact Celltrion’s stock positively by positioning it as a competitive player in the biosimilar market. Investor sentiment may be buoyed by the potential cost savings and increased market share, although competition from other biosimilar developers remains a factor.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
