Antidrug Antibody Assay Validation: Industry Survey Results
Journal Title: The AAPS Journal - Year 2009, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
Immunogenicity of biopharmaceutical products has attracted considerable attention from the industrial, academia, and regulatory organizations. Many methods exist to detect and characterize level of antidrug antibody response in patients. Still, additional work is required to harmonize various approaches used throughout the industry. This review presents results of a survey sponsored by the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists that was designed to collect relevant information and to understand various methods used throughout the bioanalytical field for the detection and evaluation of antidrug antibody responses.

The International Patent System and Biomedical Research: Reconciling Aspiration, Policy and Practice
This article reviews how the international environment shapes international patent law and practice with bearing on biomedical innovation. The cluster of issues is encapsulated in two core paradoxes. The first concerns h...
The Interaction of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) Inhibitors with an Anandamide Carrier Protein Using 19F-NMR
It has been reported that the endocannabinoid anandamide (AEA) binds to a class of fatty acid-binding proteins and serum albumin which can serve as carrier proteins and potentiate the cellular uptake of AEA and its intra...
Evaluation of a Scaling Approach for the Bioequivalence of Highly Variable Drugs
Various approaches for evaluating the bioequivalence (BE) of highly variable drugs (CV ≥ 30%) have been debated for many years. More recently, the FDA conducted research to evaluate one such appro...
CNS Delivery Via Adsorptive Transcytosis
Adsorptive-mediated transcytosis (AMT) provides a means for brain delivery of medicines across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is readily equipped for the AMT process: it provides both the potential for binding an...
Prediction of Modified Release Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics from In Vitro, Immediate Release, and Intravenous Data
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the value of mechanistic simulations in gaining insight into the behaviors of modified release (MR) formulations in vivo and to use the properly calibrated models for prediction o...
