Immunogenicity of biopharmaceuticals

Abstract

The availability of biopharmaceuticals has been increasing over the past decade and as their patents expire, the emergence of biosimilar agents approaches. The primary issue of concern for the safety of these agents is the potential for immunogenicity. Both product- and host-related factors have documented impact on the immune response, but many factors are still unknown. Although in many cases the presence of antibodies may have little clinical consequence, the upsurge of pure red cell aplasia cases further increased concerns about potential clinical consequences of extensive use of biopharmaceuticals and biosimilars. Available laboratory measurement methods are insufficient to predict biological and clinical properties of biopharmaceuticals, or even to compare their bioequivalence. Comparison of results from different studies is complicated by the variability of assay measurements, presentation of data and lack of standardization.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
