Abstract:
A mathematical antidrug antibody (ADA) model was developed to quantitatively assess immunogenicity for therapeutic proteins. The ADA model was built with antibody titer data in subjects from 10 clinical trials. The time course of the antibody titers was quantitatively characterized with a two-component semimechanistic model describing the double peaks of ADA titers. The relationship between antibody titer and incidence was also explored. The ADA incidences in subjects from 12 clinical trials were used for internal and external validations. The ADA titers reasonably predicted the incidence of antibody. The model-predicted elimination rate constant for antibody titer was 14.1 × 10-3 day-1 and 8.1 × 10-3 day-1 in healthy subjects and patients, respectively. This research provided a useful tool to quantitatively evaluate immunogenicity and its impact for therapeutic proteins.

Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
