A root cause analysis to identify the mechanistic drivers of immunogenicity against the anti-VEGF biotherapeutic brolucizumab

Jeffrey D. Kearns et al.

Summary: This study investigates the underlying mechanisms of immunogenicity of brolucizumab. Through comprehensive research on the physicochemical characteristics of the drug, structural modeling, sequence analysis, immunological assays, and quantitative systems pharmacology model, multiple factors that contribute to the increased immunogenic potential of brolucizumab are identified. These factors include a linear epitope shared with bacteria, non-natural surfaces due to the drug's structure, and non-native drug species that may form over time in the eye. Experiments using immune cells show that immune complexes triggered cellular responses. These studies provide a mechanistic understanding of the observed immunogenicity of brolucizumab and associated severe intraocular inflammation.

Assay format diversity in pre-clinical immunogenicity risk assessment: Toward a possible harmonization of antigenicity assays

Axel Ducret et al.

Summary: A major obstacle in the use of therapeutic protein drugs is the development of anti-drug antibodies, which can significantly affect treatment effectiveness and safety in many patients. Various methods have been developed to assess the sequence and other factors contributing to the development of these antibodies at different stages of the immune response. However, differences exist between similar methods developed by different researchers due to the complexity of the assays, uncertainty about the underlying science, and their intended use.

Immunogenicity assessment of bispecific antibody-based immunotherapy in oncology

Yanchen Zhou et al.

Summary: This review discusses the immunogenicity risk assessment of bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) and highlights several risk factors, including novel scaffolds, immunomodulating mechanisms of action, and other product and patient-related factors. The clinical relevance of anti-drug antibodies against BsAbs and advances in tools and strategies for immunogenicity prediction, monitoring, and mitigation are also reviewed. Implementing a drug-specific risk assessment during early development is critical for guiding risk management strategies and improving clinical success.

Validation of a Dendritic Cell and CD4+T Cell Restimulation Assay Contributing to the Immunogenicity Risk Evaluation of Biotherapeutics

Michel Siegel et al.

Summary: In this article, a new in vitro assay method for evaluating the risk of drug-specific T cell responses is described and validated. By testing a panel of biotherapeutics, it was found that this assay method could effectively identify compounds with high immunogenicity rates and characterize the main sources of assay variability.

Introduction of Non-natural Amino Acids Into T-Cell Epitopes to Mitigate Peptide-Specific T-Cell Responses

Aurelien Azam et al.

Summary: Non-natural modifications in peptides are generally found to decrease binding to HLA-DR molecules and subsequent T-cell stimulation. Introducing D-amino acids and amino isobutyric acid at specific positions may have the most detrimental effect on T-cell activation.

Managing the impact of immunogenicity in an era of immunotherapy: from bench to bedside

Katharine Bray-French et al.

Summary: Biotherapeutics have revolutionized the treatment of life-threatening diseases, but their effectiveness can be limited by immunogenicity. The Roche pRED team has developed an internal preclinical immunogenicity toolbox to ensure a standardized approach to assessing and managing immunogenicity, paving the way for the development of life-saving products with improved safety and efficacy.
