Immunogenicity

Bioanalytical support for immunogenicity testing of therapeutics

Immunogenicity risk assessment is critical to the development of most therapeutic modalities. It can affect both safety and efficacy, ranging from no evidence of clinical effect to severe, life-threatening responses. Assessment of undesirable immunogenicity of therapeutics is a key element in drug development.

Assess immunogenicity for therapeutic modalities, including: 

  • Immunogenicity testing of large molecules and ATMPs
  • Assays for detection of Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) and Neutralizing Antibodies (NAbs)
  • Assays for detection of cellular immunogenicity 
  • Measurements of cytokine production
  • Reagent labeling and oversight of surrogate positive control antibody generation
  • Statistical analysis to support cut point generation

Key to assessing drug safety and efficacy

Immunogenicity is a significant concern for biologic drugs as it can affect both safety and efficacy. The consequences of product immunogenicity vary from no evidence of clinical effect to severe, life-threatening responses. Therefore, the assessment of undesirable immunogenicity of therapeutic proteins and peptides is a key element in drug development. In the context of immune-mediated adverse effects, it is critical to understand the interplay of the adaptive and innate immune responses.

In recent years, there has been growing consensus regarding the data needed to assess product immunogenicity. Understanding the incidence, kinetics and magnitude of Anti-Drug Antibodies, its neutralizing ability, cross-reactivity with endogenous molecules or other marketed biologic drugs, and the related clinical impact, may enhance clinical management of patients treated with biologic drugs.
