Abstract 3838
Background
SB3 has been approved by the European Commission as a biosimilar of reference trastuzumab (TRZ). Equivalence for efficacy between SB3 and TRZ based on breast pathologic complete response (bpCR) rates has been demonstrated and previously reported.1 Here we report results of subgroup analyses of efficacy by baseline disease characteristics and demographics.
Methods
Patients received either SB3 or TRZ for 8 cycles concurrently given with chemotherapy (docetaxel followed by 5-fluorouracil/epirubicin/cyclophosphamide). Then patients underwent surgery followed by 10 cycles of SB3 or TRZ. The primary endpoint was bpCR rate. Subgroup analyses of bpCR rate, total pathologic complete response (tpCR) rate, and overall response rate (ORR) by region, age, ethnicity, hormone receptor status, breast cancer type, and menopausal status was performed.
Results
800 patients (SB3, n = 402; TRZ, n = 398) were included in the per-protocol set (PPS). The bpCR rates were 51.7% for SB3 and 42.0% for TRZ with adjusted difference of 10.70% (95% CI, 4.13, 17.26). Subgroup analysis results are provided in the table. A trend of favourable efficacy of SB3 compared to TRZ was maintained in most of subgroup analyses. Similar trends were observed in the subgroup analysis of tpCR rate and ORR. Table: bpCR rates by baseline demographics and disease characteristics.Table: 217P

Conclusions
Subgroup analysis results of bpCR, tpCR, and ORR showed a tendency of favourable efficacy in SB3 compared to TRZ, which were consistent with the overall bpCR analysis result. Reference: 1. Pivot X et al. J Clin Oncol. 2018; 36:968-74.
