Immunogenicity: developing clinically relevant assays

Immunogenicity evaluation is a key component of the biopharmaceutical drug development process and developing clinically relevant assays is essential for successful bioanalysis. This webinar will discuss the basic need for the detection of anti-drug antibodies, as well as present some typical assay formats that can be used for analysis. The impact of neutralizing antibodies (NAb), and persistent or transient antibody responses will be evaluated in regards to safety. Two case studies will be examined to highlight the need for adequate assay development.

What will you learn?

  • Immunogenicity assay overview
  • Typical assay formats
  • Impact of anti-drug antibodies on safety
  • The how and why of acid dissociation for improving drug and soluble receptor tolerances
  • Strategies for in-study cut point analysis
