During development of biologics, safety and efficacy assessments are often hampered by immune responses to the treatment. To assess active exposure of a drug peptide in a toxicology study, we developed an ex vivo potency assay which complemented the total drug quantification assay.
Compound activity was assessed in samples of treated monkeys by cell-based cAMP measurements. For each animal, activity was compared with its predose sample to which the compound has been added at the postdose concentration as determined by a total LC-MS/MS assay.
We were able to show that despite a high total test compound level, activity was reduced tremendously in antidrug-antibody-positive monkeys. Therefore, the applied ex vivo potency assay supplements drug quantification methods to determine active exposures.
在生物制品的研发过程中,对治疗的免疫反应常常会妨碍安全性和有效性评估。为了在毒理学研究中评估药物肽的活性暴露,我们开发了一种体外效价测定法,作为总药物定量测定法的补充。
通过基于细胞的环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)测量来评估经治疗猴子样本中的化合物活性。对于每只动物,将其活性与其给药前样本进行比较,给药前样本中已添加了通过总液相色谱-串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)测定法确定的给药后浓度的化合物。
我们能够证明,尽管总测试化合物水平很高,但在抗药物抗体阳性的猴子中,活性大幅降低。因此,所应用的体外效价测定法补充了药物定量方法,以确定活性暴露情况。
