"ANTI-DRUG ANTIBODY ASSAY VALIDATION, INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE"
Complimentary Webinar Registration:
Abstract: Biotherapeutic compounds have a potential to induce unwanted immune response resulting in variable clinical impact – from no effect to potentially life threatening events. Reporting of unwanted immunogenicity is one of the key elements in the regulatory submissions for product approvals. Immunogenicity is typically assessed by detecting anti-drug antibody (ADA) responses in drug specific ADA assays. In this presentation we will discuss relevant regulatory FDA guideline document and industry challenges.
