Efficacy and Safety of BP02 (Trastuzumab Biosimilar) in HER2-Positive Metastatic Breast Cancer: A Multicenter Phase III Study.
Trial report in Clinical drug investigation, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectiveTrastuzumab targets human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) receptors and is indicated for treating HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. BP02, a recombinant IgG1 kappa humanized monoclonal antibody, is being developed as a trastuzumab biosimilar. The objective of this study was to evaluate the equivalence of BP02 with reference trastuzumab (RT: Herceptin
methodsThis double-blinded, 1:1 randomized, parallel-group, active-controlled, phase III equivalence trial recruited women aged 18-75 years with histologically/cytologically confirmed HER2- positive, locally recurrent or metastatic breast cancer with systemic metastasis, from 59 sites in India. Patients were randomly allocated 1:1 stratified by estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor status to receive BP02/RT (8-mg/kg loading dose on day 1-cycle 1, 6 mg/kg on day 1-cycles 2-8, of each 3-week cycle) combined with docetaxel (75 mg/m
resultsBetween 23 September, 2020 and 16 September, 2022, 690 patients were recruited (n = 345 each to BP02/RT). At the end of the induction phase (intent-to-treat population), a similar proportion of patients achieved an objective response rate with BP02 (n = 231 [67.0%], 95% confidence interval [CI] 62.0, 71.9) and RT (n = 238 [69.0%], 95% CI 64.1, 73.9). The 95% CI of risk difference (-2.03, 95% CI -9.15, 5.09) and 90% CI of risk ratio (0.97, 90% CI 0.89, 1.06) were within equivalence margins of ± 13% and (0.80, 1.25), respectively. Treatment-emergent adverse events leading to treatment withdrawal were reported in 2.9% and 3.2% patients with BP02 and RT, respectively.
conclusionsBP02 showed an equivalent efficacy and similar safety profile to RT at the end of 24 weeks. CLINICAL
