Celltrion Healthcare receives EU CHMP positive opinion for biosimilar adalimumab, CT-P17 The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion of CT-P17 (adalimumab biosimilar) for the treatment of multiple chronic inflammatory diseases The positive opinion is based on Phase I/III study data investigating the equivalence of CT-P17 to reference adalimumab in terms of efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and overall safety If approved, CT-P17 would be the first adalimumab biosimilar with high concentration (100mg/mL) and citrate-free formulation December 10, 2020 06:25 PM Eastern Standard Time INCHEON, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celltrion Healthcare today announced that the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) has adopted a positive opinion for the marketing authorisation of an adalimumab biosimilar candidate referencing Humira®1, CT-P17 recommending approval for all available indications. The CHMP positive opinion will now be reviewed by the European Commission (EC), which has the authority to approve medicines for the European Union (EU). The EC’s decision regarding approval is expected in the first quarter of 2021, which would broaden treatment alternatives for patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), axial spondyloarthritis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), psoriasis (Ps), paediatric plaque psoriasis (pPs), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), Crohn’s disease (CD), paediatric Crohn’s disease (pCD), ulcerative colitis (UC), uveitis (UV) and paediatric uveitis (pUV). “If CT-P17 receives approval by the EC, Celltrion will be the first company to introduce an adalimumab biosimilar with high concentration and citrate-free formulation,” said HoUng Kim, Head of Medical and Marketing Division at Celltrion Healthcare. “This portfolio expansion is in line with our mission to improve access to biologics. We aim to provide a wide range of anti-TNF treatment alternatives, together with Remsima® dual formulation in IV formulation and SC formulation, for patients suffering from chronic inflammatory diseases.” This positive opinion is based on the phase I/III studies to evaluate pharmacokinetics (PK), efficacy and safety between CT-P17 and reference adalimumab.2,3 The clinical data support the conclusion of biosimilarity of the proposed biosimilar and adalimumab to the reference product in terms of safety, efficacy, PK/PD and immunogenicity. A randomised, double-blind phase III study in RA patients demonstrating similarity in terms of efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety, including immunogenicity up to 24 weeks was presented at the ACR Convergence 2020.4 CT-P17 met the primary objective of demonstrating equivalent efficacy and its safety profile was comparable to that of reference adalimumab. Further, a randomised, double-blind, single-dose study phase I study demonstrated PK and safety equivalence of CT-P17 in comparison to EU-approved adalimumab (EU - adalimumab) and US- licensed adalimumab (US - adalimumab) in healthy subjects up to 10 weeks. The overall safety profile was comparable, and the number of subjects who had positive ADA and neutralising ADA (NAb) results were also similar among the three treatment groups.2 Professor Edward Keystone, Senior Consultant Rheumatologist, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Canada said, “The CHMP positive opinion is very encouraging as CT-P17 has demonstrated promising study results in efficacy, PK and safety profile compared to reference adalimumab. Also having a high-concentration and citrate-free formulation would provide patients less pain during administration leading to improved quality of life.” The EC takes binding decisions on the authorisation of medicines valid throughout the EU. It bases its decisions on scientific assessments by the CHMP, ensuring that medicines comply with high quality, safety and efficacy standards. If approved, the EC will grant a centralised marketing authorisation valid in all EU Member States as well as in the European Economic Area (EEA) countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. - ENDS - Notes to Editors: About CT-P17 (biosimilar adalimumab) CT-P17 is the first proposed high-concentration adalimumab biosimilar.

Celltrion presents efficacy and safety data for potential COVID-19 treatment candidate CT-P59 in patients with mild symptoms Trial results indicate treatment with CT-P59 resulted in at least 44% faster recovery time when compared with placebo No patients treated with CT-P59 in the study have so far required hospitalisation or other antiviral therapy as a result of COVID-19 CT-P59 was well tolerated with no clinically significant safety issues seen in the study population November 05, 2020 07:16 PM Eastern Standard Time INCHEON, Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celltrion Group announced results from the ongoing Phase I clinical trial of CT-P59, an anti-COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatment candidate. The data presented at the 2020 fall Conference of the Korean Society of Infectious Diseases on 5th November 2020, demonstrated promising safety, tolerability, antiviral effect, and efficacy profile of CT-P59 in patients with mild symptoms of COVID-19. The global Phase I clinical trial is a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled and parallel-group trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and antiviral effect of CT-P59. The trial enrolled 18 patients with mild symptoms of SARS-COV-2 infection who were randomised into three cohorts in which 15 patients received CT-P59 at 20mg/kg, 40mg/kg or 80mg/kg respectively, or matching placebo (3 patients). The results indicate that the patient population treated with CT-P59 experienced about 44% reduced mean clinical recovery time in comparison to the average placebo recovery time. None of the patients treated with CT-P59 required hospitalisation or antiviral therapy as a result of COVID-19. No significant treatment-emergent serious adverse events or clinically significant treatment-emergent adverse events were identified at the interim stage. “This is positive and encouraging efficacy and safety data showing accelerated recovery time in patients with mild symptoms of COVID-19,” said Professor Jin Yong Kim, Division of Infectious Diseases, Department of Internal Medicine, Incheon Medical Centre. “I look forward to the possibility of further promising data from ongoing phase II/III studies building on the positive results seen in this study.” Celltrion has previously submitted the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the clinical trial globally, and plans to conduct further global Phase II and III trials including Korea. In addition, Celltrion has also initiated a post-exposure prophylaxis clinical trial of CT-P59 to evaluate the candidate as a protective treatment, by investigating the efficacy of the treatment in those who have been in contact with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. - ENDS - Notes to Editors: About Celltrion Healthcare Celltrion Healthcare is committed to delivering innovative and affordable medications to promote patients’ access to advanced therapies.

Celltrion Healthcare Presents Positive Top-Line Efficacy and Safety Results for CT-P17 in the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis CT-P17 is the first biosimilar with high concentration (100mg/mL) and citrate-free formulation 24-week data has shown comparable efficacy and safety data for adalimumab biosimilar CT-P17 against reference adalimumab in rheumatoid arthritis (RA)1 Comparable pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety data was also presented for CT-P17 in comparison with EU-approved adalimumab and US-licensed adalimumab in healthy subjects2 November 02, 2020 02:00 PM Eastern Standard Time INCHEON, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New data to be presented at the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) Convergence 2020 demonstrate that the efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and overall safety of CT-P17, a proposed high concentration (100mg/mL) and citrate-free adalimumab biosimilar, is comparable to reference adalimumab in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The randomised, double-blind, phase III study investigated the equivalence of CT-P17 to reference adalimumab in terms of efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and overall safety over 24 weeks.1 648 patients with active moderate-to-severe RA despite methotrexate (MTX) treatment were randomly assigned to receive 40mg of CT-P17 or reference adalimumab every 2 weeks up to week 24. Results demonstrated CT-P17 has equivalent efficacy to reference adalimumab - the ACR20 response rate at week 24 was 82.7% (268/324) for both CT-P17 and reference adalimumab. Similar additional secondary efficacy endpoints were seen in terms of ACR20/50/70 response rates, mean DAS28 (CRP), clinical disease activity index (CDAI) and simplified disease activity index (SDAI) and EULAR (CRP) response. The PK results in terms of mean Ctrough of adalimumab up to week 24 were slightly higher for CT-P17 and the mean Ctrough was generally lower in the anti-drug antibody (ADA) positive subgroup than the ADA negative subgroup in both treatment groups. The safety profile of CT-P17 up to week 24 was comparable to that of the reference adalimumab as the majority of events were grade 1 or grade 2 in intensity.1 “These phase III results show a comparable PK, efficacy and safety profile between CT-P17 and the reference adalimumab, building on evidence demonstrating that CT-P17 is equivalent to reference adalimumab for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis”, said Professor Edward Keystone, Senior Consultant Rheumatologist, Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, Canada. “These promising study results support the use of CT-P17, the first adalimumab biosimilar with high concentration and citrate-free formulation as an alternative option for eligible patients with rheumatoid arthritis.” Further data presented by Celltrion Healthcare at ACR Convergence 2020 investigated the PK and safety of CT-P17 in comparison to EU-approved adalimumab (EU- adalimumab) and US- licensed adalimumab (US- adalimumab) in healthy subjects up to 10 weeks. In this phase I, randomised, double-blind, single-dose study, 312 healthy subjects aged 19 to 55 years were randomised in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive either CT-P17, EU- adalimumab or US- adalimumab after a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of 40mg (100mg/mL). The results showed that the 90% confidence intervals (CI) for the geometric least squares mean ratio of each of the primary PK parameters (AUC0-inf, AUC0-last, and Cmax) were within the predefined equivalence margin of 80% to 125%. The overall safety profile was comparable, and the number of subjects who had positive ADA and neutralising ADA (NAb) results were also similar among the three treatment groups.2 Celltrion Healthcare also presented PK and safety data for two delivery methods for CT-P17, the auto-injector (AI) and pre-filled syringe (PFS). As part of the study, 193 healthy subjects were randomly split into two groups to receive 40mg of either CT-P17 AI or CT-P17 PFS. Following a single SC administration of CT-P17 via AI, mean peak and total systemic exposure (AUC0-inf, AUC0-last and Cmax) were equivalent with those of CT-P17 PFS, which indicates that CT-P17 AI could be a viable alternative administration option.3 --- ENDS --- Notes to editors: About CT-P17 (biosimilar adalimumab) CT-P17 is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody that contains the active ingredient adalimumab.

New data presented at UEG Week Virtual 2020 show positive association between Remsima® SC pre-dose level with efficacy outcomes Data show positive association between subcutaneous infliximab (Remsima® SC / CT-P13 SC) exposure with efficacy and fecal calprotectin (FC) outcomes in patients with active Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC)1 These findings suggest that higher SC infliximab pre-dose levels may be associated with better clinical outcomes compared to intravenous (IV) infliximab1 October 10, 2020 06:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time INCHEON, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celltrion Healthcare today announced two new data sets relating to the use of the subcutaneous formulation of infliximab, Remsima® SC (CT-P13 SC), in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) at a poster presentation at UEG Week Virtual 2020. The first study investigated the association between the pre-dose serum of infliximab concentrations, with clinical efficacy and fecal calprotectin (FC) response.1 The results show a positive association between CT-P13 SC exposure with both efficacy and FC outcomes in patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).1 Among 54 patients in the SC arm who have completed the CT-P13 SC maintenance treatment up to Week 54, 42 (77.8%) patients achieved clinical remission at Week 54. 1 Upon subgrouping patients according to quartiles of drug level exposure, the analysis shows that as a proportion, patients with the highest infliximab exposure (>26.7 μg/mL) achieved highest efficacy outcomes.1 The second study presented investigated the accuracy of the use of FC in monitoring mucosal change in a controlled trial of CT-P13 SC and IV for patients with moderate to severe UC.2 The results of this trial demonstrate that FC levels are associated with changes in status of mucosal inflammation, and specifically with improved endoscopic activity in UC patients who are treated with CT-P13 SC.2 A total of 68 UC patients were included in the multicentre, randomised controlled pivotal trial with 33 patients in the SC arm and 35 in the IV arm.2 At baseline, the median FC level in the entire cohort was 880 µg/g (786 µg/g and 978 µg/g in the SC and IV arms, respectively). 59 of 68 (86.8%) patients achieved FC level > 250 µg/g overall. In the SC arm, this accounted for 29 of 33 patients (87.9%), and in the IV arm, 30 of 35 patients (85.7%). The proportion of patients with FC level > 250 µg/g decreased to 39.0% (23/59) overall at week 22; with 44.4% (12/27) in the SC arm, and 34.4% (11/32) in the IV arm.2 Professor Walter Reinisch, Director of Clinical IBD Study Group, Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Medical University of Vienna said, “These promising results support the use of the subcutaneous formulation of Remsima® in inflammatory bowel disease as an alternative option for eligible patients with UC and CD. In addition, the use of FC for monitoring the mucosal response to infliximab SC presents a viable, non-invasive choice for monitoring treatment – providing patients and clinicians with greater flexibility to suit their needs.” --- ENDS --- Notes to editors: About inflammatory bowel disease Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are chronic disabling gastrointestinal disorders that impact every aspect of a patient’s life.3 They affect an estimated 5 million people globally.4 IBDs account for substantial costs to the healthcare system and society - the direct healthcare costs of IBDs are estimated to be €4.6-5.6 billion per year.5 About CT-P13 (biosimilar infliximab)6,7,8 CT-P13 is developed and manufactured by Celltrion, Inc. and was the world’s first monoclonal antibody biosimilar approved by the European Commission (EC). It is indicated for the treatment of eight autoimmune diseases including RA and IBD. It was approved by the EC under the trade name Remsima® in September 2013 and launched in major EU countries in early 2015. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved CT-P13 in April 2016 under the trade name Inflectra®. CT-P13 is approved in more than 94 countries (as of October 2020) including the US, Canada, Japan and throughout Europe. CT-P13 IV is usually given as 3mg per kg/body weight in RA and as 5mg per kg/body weight for the other indications. Infliximab IV is given as an infusion over two hours. All patients are monitored for any reactions during the infusion and for at least one to two hours afterwards. Celltrion has also developed a subcutaneous (SC) formulation of infliximab that has three administration options; via a pre-filled pen (auto injector), pre-filled syringe or pre-filled syringe with needle safeguard. The SC formulation has the potential to enhance treatment options for the use of infliximab biosimilar by providing high consistency in drug exposure and a convenient method of administration. CT-P13 SC received EU marketing authorisation for the treatment of people with RA and IBD in November 2019 and July 2020, respectively. In the United States, Remsima® SC will be reviewed through the new drug pathway by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the outcome expected by 2022.
