Formycon AG is conducting a clinical study titled ‘A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter, Pharmacokinetic Equivalence Clinical Trial of Adjuvant FYB206 (Keytruda Biosimilar Candidate) in Comparison With Keytruda (Pembrolizumab) to Demonstrate Pharmacokinetic Similarity in Patients With Completely Resected Stage IIB/IIC or Stage III Melanoma’. The study aims to establish the pharmacokinetic equivalence of FYB206, a proposed biosimilar to Keytruda, in patients with completely resected melanoma, which is significant for expanding treatment options and reducing costs.
The intervention involves testing FYB206, a biosimilar candidate to Keytruda, which is a biologic drug used to help the immune system fight cancer. Both FYB206 and Keytruda are administered as intravenous infusions.
This study is interventional, with a randomized, parallel assignment model. It employs triple masking, meaning the participant, investigator, and outcomes assessor are blinded. The primary purpose is treatment-focused.
The study began on July 1, 2024, with primary completion expected in the near future. The last update was submitted on July 14, 2025, indicating ongoing progress.
For investors, the successful demonstration of FYB206’s equivalence to Keytruda could enhance Formycon AG’s market position, potentially boosting stock performance. It may also influence the competitive landscape in the biosimilar market, particularly in oncology.
The study is ongoing, with further details available on the ClinicalTrials portal.
