Abstract 719
Background
CT-P6 was approved by both US FDA and European Commission as a biosimilar to reference trastuzumab (RTZ). Here we report updated long term efficacy and safety.
Methods
549 patients with HER2 positive EBC were randomized 1:1 to CT-P6 (n = 271) or RTZ (n = 278) with docetaxel (Cycles 1-4) and 5-fluorouracil, epirubicin and cyclophosphamide (Cycles 5-8). After surgery, patients received CT-P6 or RTZ monotherapy to complete a total of 1 year and were followed up to 3 years from enrollment of the last patient. Stratified Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier methods were used for time to event (TTE) analyses.
Results
528 patients (259 in CT-P6 and 269 in RTZ) were followed up. The median duration of follow-up was 39 months. Overall, the rates of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were similar between CT-P6 and RTZ in both PPS and ITT set. The number of DFS events (42 [16.3%] in CT-P6 and 36 [13.8%] in RTZ) and OS events (18 [6.6%] in CT-P6 and 18 [6.5%] in RTZ) were comparable in ITT set. Median DFS and OS have not been reached due to an insufficient number of events. The mean LVEF was more than 60% in both groups, and no new cases of heart failure were reported during the follow-up period. Table. Summary of Long Term Efficacy EndpointsTable:

Conclusions
DFS and OS rates and cardiotoxicity at a median follow-up of 39 months support the similarity of CT-P6 and reference trastuzumab in early-stage breast cancer.
