Abstract
High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) is a powerful technique for the characterization and quantitation of complex biological mixtures, with several applications including clinical monitoring and tissue imaging. However, these medical and pharmaceutical applications are pushing the analytical limits of modern HRMS techniques, requiring either further development in instrumentation or data processing methods. Here, we demonstrate new developments in the interactive Fourier-transform analysis for mass spectrometry (iFAMS) software including the first application of Gábor transform (GT) to protein quantitation. Newly added automation tools detect signals from minimal user input and apply thresholds for signal selection, deconvolution, and baseline correction to improve the objectivity and reproducibility of deconvolution. Additional tools were added to improve the deconvolution of highly complex or congested mass spectra and are demonstrated here for the first time. The "Gábor Slicer" enables the user to explore trends in the Gábor spectrogram with instantaneous ion mass estimates accurate to 10 Da. The charge adjuster allows for easy visual confirmation of accurate charge state assignments and quick adjustment if necessary. Deconvolution refinement utilizes a second GT of isotopically resolved data to remove common deconvolution artifacts. To assess the quality of deconvolution from iFAMS, several comparisons are made to deconvolutions using other algorithms such as UniDec and an implementation of MaxEnt in Agilent MassHunter BioConfirm. Lastly, the newly added batch processing and quantitation capabilities of iFAMS are demonstrated and compared to a common extracted ion chromatogram approach.

Forecasted infliximab concentrations during induction predict time to remission and sustained disease control of inflammatory bowel disease. Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol 2024; 48:102374. [PMID: 38750934 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinre.2024.102374] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Revised: 05/06/2024] [Accepted: 05/12/2024] [Indexed: 05/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Infliximab (IFX) exposure is established as a predictive factor of pharmacokinetic (PK) origin in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and expert consensus is to achieve adequate exposure during induction to achieve and sustain remission. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the performance of a Bayesian PK tool in IBD patients starting IFX. Trough IFX serum levels collected immediately before the third (at week 6) and fourth (at week 14) infusions were evaluated from 307 IBD patients (median age=17 years, 50 % females, 83 % with Crohn's disease). Forecasted IFX concentration at the fourth infusion were estimated using serum IFX, antibodies to IFX, albumin and weight determined immediately before the third infusion using population PK calculator with Bayesian prior. The outcome variable was a clinical & biochemical remission status achieved (CRP levels below 3 mg/L in presence of clinical remission). Statistics consisted of Kaplan Meier analysis with calculation of Hazard ratio (HR), and logistic regression. RESULTS IFX concentration above 15 µg/mL immediately before the third infusion associated with shorter time to clinical & biochemical remission than concentration below 15 µg/mL without reaching significance (163±14 days vs 200±16 days, respectively; p=0.052). However, using PK parameters at the third infusion, forecasted IFX concentrations above 10 µg/mL immediately before the fourth infusion were significantly associated with a higher rate (HR=1.6 95 %CI: 1.1 to 2.1 p<0.01) and shorter time to remission (148±18 days vs 200±13 days p<0.01). In the presence of IFX concentration above 15 µg/mL at the third infusion, there was a significant 2.5-fold higher likelihood of sustained clinical & biochemical remission status during maintenance as compared to IFX concentrations below 15 µg/mL (p<0.01). Forecasted IFX level above 10 µg/mL at fourth infusion associated with significantly 3.9-fold higher likelihood of clinical & biochemical remission as compared to forecasted IFX concentrations below 10 µg/mL (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS These data further support that optimized IFX concentrations during induction are associated with enhanced disease control in IBD.

Abstract
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), encompassing ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, necessitates long-term medical therapy to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has emerged as a strategy to optimize treatment efficacy, particularly with anti-tumour necrosis factor (anti-TNF) alpha drugs. This review explores the role of TDM for non-anti-TNF advanced therapies in IBD, focusing on vedolizumab, ustekinumab, tofacitinib, upadacitinib, risankizumab and ozanimod. Methods: The literature search, conducted through OVID (Medline) and PubMed, delves into proactive versus reactive TDM, timing of monitoring and methods for measuring drug levels and anti-drug antibodies. Results: While ustekinumab and vedolizumab exhibit exposure-response relationships, consensus on target levels and the role of TDM adjustments remains elusive. Limited data on risankizumab suggest a dose-dependent response, while for small molecule therapies (janus kinase inhibitors and ozanimod), the absence of real-world data and commercially available TDM tools pose challenges. Conclusion: At present, with the available data, there is a limited role for TDM in non-anti-TNF biologic and small-molecule therapies. This review underscores the need for further research to delineate the utility of TDM in guiding treatment decisions for these agents.

Abstract
Introduction We evaluated baseline Clearance of anti-tumor necrosis factors and human leukocyte antigen variant (HLA DQA1*05) in combination as poor prognostic factors (PPF) of pharmacokinetic (PK) origin impacting immune response (formation of antidrug antibodies) and disease control of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients treated with infliximab or adalimumab. Methods Baseline Clearance was estimated in IBD patients before starting treatment using weight and serum albumin concentrations. HLA DQA1*05 carrier status (rs2097432 A/G or G/G variant) was measured using real time polymerase chain reaction. The outcomes consisted of immune response, clinical and biochemical remission (C-reactive protein<3 mg/L in the absence of symptoms), and endoscopic remission (SES-CD<3). Statistical analysis consisted of logistic regression and nonlinear mixed effect models. Results and discussion In 415 patients enrolled from 4 different cohorts (median age 27 [IQR: 15-43] years, 46% females), Clearance>0.326 L/day and HLA DQA1*05 carrier status were 2-fold more likely to have antidrug antibodies (OR=2.3, 95%CI: 1.7-3.4; p<0.001, and OR=1.9, 95%CI: 1.4-2.8; p<0.001, respectively). Overall, each incremental PPF of PK origin resulted in a 2-fold (OR=2.16, 95%CI: 1.7-2.7; p<0.11) [corrected] higher likelihood of antidrug antibody formation. The presence of both PPF of PK origin resulted in higher rates of antidrug antibodies (p<0.01) and lower clinical and biochemical remission (p<0.01). Each incremental increase in PPF of PK origin associated with lower likelihood of endoscopic remission (OR=0.4, 95%CI: 0.2-0.7; p<0.001). Prior biologic experience heightened the negative impact of PPF of PK origin on clinical and biochemical remission (p<0.01). Implementation of proactive therapeutic drug monitoring reduced it, particularly during maintenance and in the presence of higher drug concentrations (p<0.001). We conclude that PPF of PK origin, including both higher Clearance and carriage of HLA DQA1*05, impact outcomes in patients with IBD.

Abstract
Infliximab and its anti-drug antibody (ADA) serum concentrations exhibit a strong correlation with clinical response and loss of response. The use of therapeutic drug monitoring to measure the concentration of infliximab and ADA can facilitate clinical decision-making, helping patients attain optimal therapeutic effects. However, there are still limitations to the existing infliximab and its ADA detection methods. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and validate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)-based methods for measuring infliximab and its ADA levels in human plasma according to the general recommendations for immunoassays. Free infliximab is bound by recombinant TNF-α and detected using HRP-labeled anti-human antibody. The ADA is captured by on-plate-coated infliximab and recognized by biotin-labeled infliximab. Two bridging ELISA assays were developed and after assay optimization and validation, these assays have been applied in ten patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In infliximab detection assay, a standard curve ranging from 0.10 μg/mL to 8.0 μg/mL with great precision and accuracy has been established. Drug tolerance of the ADA assay was that 100 ng/mL ADA could tolerate at least 5.0 μg/mL infliximab in the plasma using a commercially available monoclonal anti-infliximab antibody as the positive control. The ADA screening and confirmatory assays achieved a sensitivity of 36.74 ng/mL and 37.15 ng/mL, respectively. All other assay characteristics met the requirements. The mean concentration of infliximab in eight patients with IBD was 7.88 (1.87-21.1) μg/mL, and the ADA levels were all negative. Moreover, the concentrations of infliximab in the remaining two patients were below the LLOQ and the ADAs were positive. Thus, accurate and sensitive ELISA methods have been developed and validated for the detection of infliximab and its ADA concentrations and have been successfully applied to clinical therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
Infliximab (IFX) concentrations are a predictive factor (PF) of pharmacokinetic (PK) origin in the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD). We evaluated Clearance, another PF of PK origin, either alone or in combination with concentrations. They were evaluated from two cohorts, the first designed to receive standard dosing (n = 37), and the second designed to proactively target therapeutic IFX concentrations (n = 108). Concentrations were measured using homogeneous mobility shift assay. Clearance was estimated using the nonlinear mixed effects methods with Bayesian priors. C-reactive protein-based clinical remission (<3 mg/L in the absence of symptoms) was used for the disease control outcome measure. Longitudinal changes in disease control due to factors including time, IFX concentration, and Clearance were analyzed using repeated event analysis. Change in objective function value (∆OFV) was calculated to compare concentration and Clearance. The results indicated that lower baseline Clearance and proactive dosing associated with enhanced disease control during induction (p < 0.01). Higher IFX concentrations and lower Clearance measured at the second, third, and fourth infusion yielded improved disease control during maintenance (p < 0.032). During maintenance, the association with disease control was better with Clearance than with concentrations (∆OFV = -19.2; p < 0.001), and the combination of both further minimized OFV (p < 0.001) with markedly improved clinical yield in the presence of both PF of PK origin. We conclude that the combination of IFX concentration and Clearance are better predictors of therapeutic outcome compared with either one alone.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases, such as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and pulmonary embolism, are the most common causes of disability and death worldwide. Blood clot hydrolysis by thrombolytic enzymes and thrombectomy are key clinical interventions. The most widely used thrombolytic enzyme is alteplase, which has been used in clinical practice since 1986. Another clinically used thrombolytic protein is tenecteplase, which has modified epitopes and engineered glycosylation sites, suggesting that carbohydrate modification in thrombolytic enzymes is a viable strategy for their improvement. This comprehensive review summarizes current knowledge on computational and experimental identification of glycosylation sites and glycan identity, together with methods used for their reengineering. Practical examples from previous studies focus on modification of glycosylations in thrombolytics, e.g., alteplase, tenecteplase, reteplase, urokinase, saruplase, and desmoteplase. Collected clinical data on these glycoproteins demonstrate the great potential of this engineering strategy. Outstanding combinatorics originating from multiple glycosylation sites and the vast variety of covalently attached glycan species can be addressed by directed evolution or rational design. Directed evolution pipelines would benefit from more efficient cell-free expression and high-throughput screening assays, while rational design must employ structure prediction by machine learning and in silico characterization by supercomputing. Perspectives on challenges and opportunities for improvement of thrombolytic enzymes by engineering and evolution of protein glycosylation are provided.

Abstract
Accurate anti-drug antibody (ADA) measurements in patient sera requires dissociation of ADA-drug complexes combined with sensitive and specific ADA detection. Bridging type immunoassays are often used despite several disadvantages associated with this approach. A good drug-tolerant alternative is the acid-dissociation radioimmunoassay (ARIA), but this method is not easily implemented in most labs as specialized facilities are required for working with radioactive materials. We describe an innovative method for ADA detection that combines the advantages of antigen binding tests like the ARIA with the convenience of regular immunoassays. This acid-dissociation lanthanide-fluorescence immunoassay (ALFIA) involves dissociation of ADA-drug complexes, followed by binding to an europium-labeled drug derivative and subsequently an IgG pulldown on Sepharose beads. After europium elution, detection is achieved by measuring time-resolved fluorescence originating from europium chelate complexes. We measured anti-adalimumab ADA levels in sera of 94 rheumatoid arthritis patients using the ALFIA and showed this method to be highly drug tolerant, sensitive and specific for anti-adalimumab ADAs.

Abstract
Biologic drugs have greatly improved treatment outcomes of inflammatory joint diseases, but a substantial proportion of patients either do not respond to treatment or lose response over time. Drug immunogenicity, manifested as the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAb), constitute a significant clinical problem. Anti-drug antibodies influence the pharmacokinetics of the drug, are associated with reduced clinical efficacy, and an increased risk of adverse events such as infusion reactions. The prevalence of ADAb differs among drugs and diseases, and the detection of ADAb also depends on the assay format. Most data exist for the tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitors infliximab and adalimumab, with a frequency of ADAb that ranges from 10 to 60% across studies. Measurement of ADAb and serum drug concentrations, therapeutic drug monitoring, has been suggested as a strategy to optimize therapy with biologic drugs. Although the recent randomized clinical Norwegian Drug Monitoring (NOR-DRUM) trials show promise towards a personalized medicine prescribing approach by therapeutic drug monitoring, several challenges remain. A plethora of assay formats, with widely differing properties, is currently used for measuring ADAb. Comparing results between different assays and laboratories is difficult, which complicates the development of cut-offs necessary for guidelines and the implementation of ADAb measurements in clinical practice. With the possible exception of infliximab, limited data on clinical relevance and cost effectiveness exist to support therapeutic drug monitoring as a routine clinical strategy to monitor biologic drugs in inflammatory joint diseases. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the characteristics and prevalence of ADAb, predisposing factors to ADAb formation, commonly used assessment methods, clinical consequences of ADAb, and the potential implications of ADAb assessments for everyday treatment of inflammatory joint diseases.

Abstract
Many patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapies, of which infliximab (IFX) is most commonly used. Loss of response (LOR) to anti-TNF therapy due to immunogenic failure accounts for 20% of subsequent medical intervention and is defined, using a drug sensitive assay, as low or undetectable concentration of drug with high titers of anti-drug antibodies (ADAb). We performed a systematic review to investigate the use of a drug tolerant assay during both induction and maintenance to monitor patients treated with anti-TNFs. After the search on PubMed, 90 publications were reviewed. Most ADAb detection methods are drug sensitive, cannot detect ADAb in the presence of drug, and therefore cannot be used close to drug administration, when the drug concentration is too high. To overcome this major limitation, several drug-tolerant techniques have been developed and will be discussed in this review. Using drug-tolerant assays ADAb against infliximab (IFX) or adalimumab (ADM) can be detected during induction and predict primary non-response or LOR. Drug sensitive assays do not allow detection of ADAb during the induction phase as IFX or ADM concentration is typically high.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Accelerated infliximab (IFX) induction is often based on clinical parameters as opposed to pharmacokinetics (PK). We aimed to investigate the impact of dashboard-guided optimized induction dosing on IFX durability and immunogenicity in a real-world inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) setting. METHODS Pediatric and adult IBD patients were enrolled in a prospective single arm intervention trial. Cumulative data from each infusion (INF), weight, albumin, C-reactive protein, IFX dose, IFX trough level, and antidrug antibody presence were used to inform subsequent INF dosing. Forecasts driven by adaptive Bayesian modeling were generated to maintain trough levels for the third (INF3) and fourth (INF4) infusions of 17 μg/mL and 10 μg/mL, respectively. The primary outcome was proportion of patients prescribed accelerated dosing (AD) intervals by INF3 (<22 days) or INF4 (<49 days). Secondary outcomes included week 52 clinical and PK outcomes. Multivariate analyses and Kaplan-Meier curves compared outcomes based on adherence to dashboard forecasts. RESULTS Of the 180 per-protocol population, AD was forecast for 41% (INF3) and 69% (INF4) of patients with median intervals of 17 (INF3) and 39 (INF4) days. Baseline age >18 years, albumin >3.5 g/L, and 10-mg/kg dose were independently associated with lower rates of AD by INF4. Nonadherence with the INF4 forecast (n = 39) was an independent predictor of antidrug antibody (P < .0001) and IFX discontinuation (P = .0006). A total of 119 of 123 patients on IFX at week 52 were in steroid-free remission. CONCLUSIONS The application of a PK dashboard during induction can optimize dosing early to improve IFX durability and immunogenicity.

Abstract
Background: Substantial inter-and intra-individual variability of Infliximab (IFX) pharmacokinetics necessitates tailored dosing approaches. Here, we evaluated the performances of a Model Informed Precision Dosing (MIPD) Tool in forecasting trough Infliximab (IFX) levels in association with disease status and circulating TNF-α in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD). Methods: Consented patients undergoing every 8-week maintenance therapy with IFX were enrolled. Midcycle specimens were collected, IFX, antibodies to IFX, albumin were determined and analyzed with weight using nonlinear mixed effect models coupled with Bayesian data assimilation to forecast trough levels. Accuracy of forecasted as compared to observed trough IFX levels were evaluated using Demings’s regression. Association between IFX levels, CRP-based clinical remission and TNF-α levels were analyzed using logistic regression and linear mixed effect models. Results: In 41 patients receiving IFX (median dose = 5.3 mg/Kg), median IFX levels decreased from 13.0 to 3.9 µg/mL from mid to end of cycle time points, respectively. Midcycle IFX levels forecasted trough with Deming’s slope = 0.90 and R2 = 0.87. Observed end cycle and forecasted trough levels above 5 µg/mL associated with CRP-based clinical remission (OR = 7.2 CI95%: 1.7−30.2; OR = 21.0 CI95%: 3.4−127.9, respectively) (p < 0.01). Median TNF-α levels increased from 4.6 to 8.0 pg/mL from mid to end of cycle time points, respectively (p < 0.01). CRP and TNF-α levels associated independently and additively to decreased IFX levels (p < 0.01). Conclusions: These data establish the value of our MIPD tool in forecasting trough IFX levels in patients with IBD. Serum TNF-α and CRP are reflective of inflammatory burden which impacts exposure.

Abstract
Biologics and immunomodulators (IMM) are generally considered the most effective therapies for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. However, despite the efficacy of these therapies, many patients either have a primary lack of response or a secondary loss of response to these medications. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a systematic approach to managing such patients. In this review, we summarize the latest data on TDM, including reactive and proactive TDM, in patients with inflammatory bowel disease on biologics and/or IMM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on biologic therapy may lose response to anti-tumor necrosis factor agents (anti-TNFs) due to the development of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). A history of anti-TNF ADA increases the risk of developing ADA to subsequent anti-TNFs; however, it is not known whether ADA to anti-TNFs increases the risk of ADA development to vedolizumab (VDZ) or ustekinumab (UST). We aimed to investigate whether prior history of ADA to anti-TNF increases the risk of ADA to VDZ and UST. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients at a tertiary care IBD center over the course of four years who had previous anti-TNF drug and ADA level data during maintenance treatment and subsequent VDZ or UST drug and antibody levels, all collected as standard of care. The primary outcome was the rate of ADA development to VDZ and UST in patients with and without prior anti-TNF immunogenicity. Descriptive statistics summarized the data and univariate tested associations. RESULTS Of the 152 IBD patients analyzed, 41 (27%) had a history of previous anti-TNF ADA with 22 (53.7%) having simultaneously undetectable anti-TNF drug levels. There was no significant difference in the rates of ustekinumab and vedolizumab ADA development between patients with prior ADA and patients without prior ADA (1/41 [2.7%] vs 1/111 [0.9%]; p = 0.54). There was also no difference in concomitant immunomodulator use with ustekinumab or vedolizumab initiation in patients with or without prior ADA (13/41 [31.7%] vs 31/111 [27.9%], p = 0.84). Neither patient who developed ADA to VDZ or UST was on concomitant immunomodulator at drug initiation, and both patients had detectable drug levels at the time of antibody detection. CONCLUSIONS We observed that prior immunogenicity to anti-TNF agents does not confer an increased risk of immunogenicity to ustekinumab or vedolizumab. Our data support the use of vedolizumab or ustekinumab as monotherapy for the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Preliminary data indicates that proactive therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is associated with better outcomes compared with empiric dose escalation and/or reactive TDM, and that pharmacokinetic (PK) modelling can improve the precision of individual dosing schedules in Crohn's disease (CD). However, there are no data regarding the utility of a proactive TDM combined PK-dashboard starting early during the induction phase, when disease activity and drug clearance are greatest. The aim of this randomised, controlled, multicentre, open-label trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a proactive TDM combined PK dashboard-driven infliximab dosing compared with standard of care (SOC) dosing in patients with moderately to severely active CD. METHODS AND ANALYSIS Eligible adolescent and adult (aged ≥16-80 years) patients with moderately to severely active CD will be randomised 1:1 to receive either infliximab monotherapy with proactive TDM using a PK dashboard (iDose, Projections Research) or SOC infliximab therapy, with or without a concomitant immunomodulator (IMM) (thiopurine or methotrexate) at the discretion of the investigator. The primary outcome of the study is the proportion of subjects with sustained corticosteroid-free clinical remission and no need for rescue therapy from week 14 throughout week 52. Rescue therapy is defined as any IFX dose escalation other than what is forecasted by iDose either done empirically or based on reactive TDM; addition of an IMM after week 2; reintroduction of corticosteroids after initial tapering; switch to another biologic or need for CD-related surgery. The secondary outcomes will include both efficacy and safety end points, such as endoscopic and biological remission, durability of response and CD-related surgery and hospitalisation. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol has been approved by the Institutional Review Board Committee of the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (IRB#:2021P000391). Results will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and presented at scientific meetings. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04835506.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic drug monitoring is a useful clinical decision aid in managing patients with inflammatory bowel disease treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF). Various techniques are available to evaluate drug trough levels, and among these a point-of-care (POC) method has been proposed to overcome the limitations inherent to other methodologies. In this study we aimed to evaluate the capability of POC to discriminate between relapse and remission disease phases, and to assess the concordance of the POC and homogeneous mobility shift assay (HMSA) results. METHODS Drug trough level of 46 Crohn's disease patients treated with either adalimumab or infliximab were evaluated with both a POC technique and an HMSA at various time points (week-16 and -48) during anti-TNF treatment. RESULTS Median adalimumab trough level of patients in remission were significantly higher as compared to relapsing patients using both HMSA (week 16, P = 0.0001; week48, P = 0.001) and POC (week 16, P = 0.0003; week 48, P = 0.0012), and similar results were observed with infliximab trough level at week 16 (HMSA, P = 0.019; POC, P = 0.0072). Overall, we observed a good correlation between the techniques for both infliximab (r = 0.76; P < 0.0001) and adalimumab (r = 0.75; P < 0.0001), with no difference in discriminatory accuracy between assays (infliximab: HMSA versus POC c-index, 0.921 versus 0.895, P =0.149; adalimumab: HMSA versus POC c-index, 0.817 versus 0.850, P = 0.197). CONCLUSION Both POC and HMSA assays are able to reliably differentiate relapse and remission phases in Crohn's disease patients treated with anti-TNF. These techniques showed good concordance and we feel that their preferential use should be based on local accessibility, physicians' experience and preference, and the need for timeliness availability of results.

Abstract
Antibody-based therapeutic agents and other biopharmaceuticals are now used in the treatment of many diseases. However, when these biopharmaceuticals are administrated to patients, an immune reaction may occur that can reduce the drug's efficacy and lead to adverse side effects. The immunogenicity of biopharmaceuticals can be evaluated by detecting and measuring antibodies that have been produced against these drugs, or anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). Methods for ADA detection and analysis can be important during the selection of a therapeutic approach based on such drugs and is crucial when developing and testing new biopharmaceuticals. This review examines approaches that have been used for ADA detection, measurement, and characterization. Many of these approaches are based on immunoassays and antigen binding tests, including homogeneous mobility shift assays. Other techniques that have been used for the analysis of ADAs are capillary electrophoresis, reporter gene assays, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The general principles of each approach will be discussed, along with their recent applications with regards to ADA analysis. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anti-TNF therapy is recommended as treatment for patients with Crohn´s perianal fistulas. However, a significant proportion of patients have a sub-optimal response to anti-TNF therapy. Higher serum levels of anti-TNF agents have been associated with improved outcomes in perianal Crohn's disease. Currently, it is unknown whether anti-TNF agent levels can be detected in tissue from fistula tracts themselves and whether this is associated with response. AIMS AND METHODS We undertook a pilot study to measure fistula tissue levels of anti-TNF medication (infliximab and adalimumab). We used a previously validated targeted proteomic technique, employing ultraperformance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, to detect/quantify anti-TNF drugs. Biopsies were obtained from fistula tracts of patients with Crohn's disease on maintenance treatment; with idiopathic (cryptoglandular) fistula tissues used as negative controls as well as positive controls (by spiking the latter tissues with anti-TNF drugs). RESULTS Tissue was sampled from the fistula tracts of seven patients with Crohn's perianal disease (five patients were on adalimumab and two patients were on infliximab). The anti-TNF drugs, infliximab and adalimumab, were not detected in fistula samples from any of the Crohn's patients despite detection in 'spiked' positive control samples. CONCLUSION Absence of detection of the anti-TNF drugs in fistula tissue raises the question on the role of tissue penetrance of anti-TNF drugs in response to therapy. Further work is required in a larger number of patients to validate the findings observed and investigate if any correlation exists between tissue and serum levels of anti-TNF and clinical outcome. SUMMARY Predicting response in Crohn's fistula patients on biologic therapy is difficult with no reliable biomarkers. This pilot study uses targeted proteomics to investigate the potential role of tissue drug levels in acting as a biomarker of treatment response.

A population physiologically-based pharmacokinetic model to characterize antibody disposition in pediatrics and evaluation of the model using infliximab. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2022; 88:290-302. [PMID: 34189743 PMCID: PMC8714867 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.14963] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2021] [Revised: 05/13/2021] [Accepted: 05/23/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS In order to better predict the pharmacokinetics (PK) of antibodies in children, and to facilitate dose optimization of antibodies in paediatric patients, there is a need to develop systems PK models that integrate ontogeny-related changes in human physiological parameters. METHODS A population-based physiological-based PK (PBPK) model to characterize antibody PK in paediatrics has been developed, by incorporating age-related changes in body weight, organ weight, organ blood flow rate and interstitial volumes in a previously published platform model. The model was further used to perform Monte Carlo simulations to investigate clearance vs. age and dose-exposure relationships for infliximab. RESULTS By estimating only one parameter and associated interindividual variability, the model was able to characterize clinical PK of infliximab from two paediatric cohorts (n = 141, 4-19 years) reasonably well. Model simulations demonstrated that only 50% of children reached desired trough concentrations when receiving FDA-labelled dosing regimen for infliximab, suggesting that higher doses and/or more frequent dosing are needed to achieve target trough concentrations of this antibody. CONCLUSION The paediatric PBPK model presented here can serve as a framework to characterize the PK of antibodies in paediatric patients. The model can also be applied to other protein therapeutics to advance precision medicine paradigm and optimize antibody dosing regimens in children.

Intermittent Appearance of Antibodies to Infliximab Is Not Associated With Reduced Efficacy in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Diseases. J Clin Gastroenterol 2022; 56:e47-e51. [PMID: 33252556 DOI: 10.1097/mcg.0000000000001469] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/10/2022]
Abstract
GOALS To assess the clinical significance of antibodies to infliximab (ATI) formation in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). BACKGROUND Infliximab therapy in patients with IBD is highly effective though up to 50% of patients lose response to infliximab. ATI formation occurs in 6% to 60% of patients on scheduled infliximab maintenance therapy. METHODS Infliximab trough levels and ATI at trough were prospectively determined in patients with IBD on maintenance infliximab therapy. Patients on infliximab maintenance therapy with at least 3 ATI measurements were included. Patients were divided into 2 groups: sustained negative (<1 µg/mL) ATI levels, and fluctuating ATI levels (at least 1 sample with ATI <1 and at least one >1 µg/mL). RESULTS Forty-eight patients with IBD with available clinical data and serum samples were included. 25 patients had sustained low ATI levels and 23 patients had fluctuating ATI levels. Both groups were similar in IBD subtype distribution (Crohn's disease in 73.9% and 60%), mean serum albumin levels (4.2 vs. 3.9 g/dL), and mean trough serum infliximab levels (3.3 vs. 4.6 µg/mL) in fluctuating ATI and low ATI groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in the rate of clinical response (64% vs. 76%) and mean serum C-reactive protein levels (9.4 vs. 8.5 mg/dL, ULN=5) in the fluctuating ATI and low ATI groups. Similar rates of clinical response in the fluctuating ATI and low ATI groups were observed in ulcerative colitis (33% vs. 40%) and Crohn's disease (76% vs. 100%). CONCLUSIONS The fluctuating pattern of appearance of ATI in patients with IBD was not associated with loss of clinical response or a rise in C-reactive protein. The authors suggest that in clinical decision making, only sustained appearance of ATI should be considered as an adverse therapeutic factor.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is typically referred to as the measurement of the concentration of drugs in patient blood. Although in the past, TDM was restricted to drugs with a narrow therapeutic range in order to avoid drug toxicity, TDM has recently become a major tool for precision medicine being applied to many more drugs. Through compensating for interindividual differences in a drug's pharmacokinetics, improved dosing of individual patients based on TDM ensures maximum drug effectiveness while minimizing side effects. This is especially relevant for individuals that present a particularly high intervariability in pharmacokinetics, such as newborns, or for critically/severely ill patients. In this article, we will review the applications for and limitations of TDM, discuss for which patients TDM is most beneficial and why, examine which techniques are being used for TDM, and demonstrate how mass spectrometry is increasingly becoming a reliable and convenient alternative for the TDM of different classes of drugs. We will also highlight the advances, challenges, and limitations of the existing repertoire of TDM methods and discuss future opportunities for TDM-based precision medicine.

Abstract
Infliximab is approved for treatment of various chronic inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, high variability in infliximab trough levels has been associated with diverse response rates. Model-informed precision dosing (MIPD) with population pharmacokinetic models could help to individualize infliximab dosing regimens and improve therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive performance of published infliximab population pharmacokinetic models for IBD patients with an external data set. The data set consisted of 105 IBD patients with 336 infliximab concentrations. Literature review identified 12 published models eligible for external evaluation. Model performance was evaluated with goodness-of-fit plots, prediction- and variability-corrected visual predictive checks (pvcVPCs) and quantitative measures. For anti-drug antibody (ADA)-negative patients, model accuracy decreased for predictions > 6 months, while bias did not increase. In general, predictions for patients developing ADA were less accurate for all models investigated. Two models with the highest classification accuracy identified necessary dose escalations (for trough concentrations < 5 µg/mL) in 88% of cases. In summary, population pharmacokinetic modeling can be used to individualize infliximab dosing and thereby help to prevent infliximab trough concentrations dropping below the target trough concentration. However, predictions of infliximab concentrations for patients developing ADA remain challenging.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the measurement of drug and antidrug antibody concentrations in individuals to guide treatment decisions. In patients with Crohn disease (CD), TDM, used either reactively or proactively, is emerging as a valuable tool for optimization of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist therapy. Reactive TDM is carried out in response to treatment failure, whereas proactive TDM involves the periodic monitoring of patients responding to TNF antagonist therapy to allow treatment optimization. In patients with CD, most of the available data for TDM relate to the first-to-market TNF antagonist infliximab and, to a lesser extent, to adalimumab and certolizumab pegol. Several gastroenterology associations, including the American Gastroenterology Association, have endorsed the use of reactive TDM in patients with active CD. However, fewer recommendations currently exist for the use of proactive TDM, although several new prospective randomized controlled trials evaluating proactive TDM strategies have been published. In this review, the current evidence for reactive and proactive TDM is discussed, and a proactive treatment algorithm for certolizumab pegol based on previously published threshold concentrations is proposed.

Abstract
Measurements of serum concentrations of therapeutic antibodies and anti-drug antibodies (ADA) can support clinical decisions for the management of non-responders, optimizing the therapy. In the present study we compared the results obtained by classical ELISA and a recently proposed surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based immunoassay, in 76 patients receiving infliximab for inflammatory bowel diseases. The two methods indicated very similar serum concentrations of the drug, but there were striking differences as regards ADA. All the sera showing ADA by ELISA (14) also showed ADA by SPR, but the absolute amounts were different, being 7–490 times higher with SPR, with no correlation. Eight patients showed ADA only with SPR, and these ADA had significantly faster dissociation rate constants than those detectable by both SPR and ELISA. The underestimation, or the lack of detection, of ADA by ELISA is likely to reflect the long incubation steps which favor dissociation of the patient’s low-affinity ADA, while the commercial, high-affinity anti-infliximab antibodies used for the calibration curve do not dissociate. This problem is less important with SPR, which monitors binding in real time. The possibility offered by SPR to detect ADA in patients otherwise considered ADA-negative by ELISA could have important implications for clinicians.

Abstract
Background and Aims Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) with measurement of serum drug and antidrug antibody concentrations is used to optimize tumor necrosis factor antagonists (anti-TNF). The endoscopic healing index (EHI) is a validated serum-based assay to measure mucosal inflammation in adults with Crohn disease (CD). Our objectives were to evaluate the relationship between EHI and TDM results and to determine the anti-TNF concentration range associated with EHI <20 (consistent with endoscopic remission). Methods Adult and pediatric patients with CD (N = 1731) were selected retrospectively from a clinical laboratory cohort. Patients were selected if they had an ICD-10 code for CD and if results for EHI and TDM were available within 30 days of each other. The relationship between EHI and TDM results was examined and the anti-TNF concentration range associated with EHI <20 vs >50 was evaluated. Results Median anti-TNF concentration was higher in patients with EHI <20 vs >50 for infliximab (N = 796): 11.1 vs 3.4 µg/mL and for adalimumab (N = 935): 9.2 vs 5.0 µg/mL (P < 0.0001 both drugs). Patients with antibodies to infliximab (12.8%) or adalimumab (14.9%) had lower anti-TNF concentrations (P < 0.001 both drugs) and higher EHI (P < 0.01 both drugs). The concentration range for infliximab: 5-15 µg/mL (5-9 µg/mL in pediatric patients) and for adalimumab: 5-10 µg/mL (8 µg/mL in pediatric patients) best discriminated EHI <20 vs >50. Conclusions We report the anti-TNF concentration range associated with EHI <20. Combined testing of EHI and TDM is proposed as a noninvasive approach for treat-to-target management which could improve the ability to monitor disease and optimize anti-TNF therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunoassays based on label-free technologies (label-free immunoassay [LFIA]) offer an innovative approach to clinical diagnostics and demonstrate great promise for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs. An LFIA measures immunocomplex formation in real time and allows for quantification on initial binding rate, which facilitates fast measurement within a few minutes. METHODS Based on thin-film interferometry (TFI) technology, open-access LFIAs were developed for the quantification of the mAb drugs adalimumab (ADL) and infliximab (IFX) and for the detection of the antidrug antibodies (ADAs) to the mAb drugs (ADL-ADAs and IFX-ADAs). RESULTS The LFIAs for active mAb drugs (ADL and IFX) and for ADAs (ADL-ADAs and IFX-ADAs) were validated. The analytical measurement range (AMR) for both ADL and IFX was from 2 to 100 μg/mL. The AMR for ADL-ADAs was from 5 to 100 μg/mL and for IFX-ADAs was 10 to 100 μg/mL. In the comparison of LFIAs and reporter gene assays, the correlation coefficient was 0.972 for the quantification of ADL and 0.940 for the quantification of IFX. The concordance rate was 90% for the detection of ADL-ADAs and 76% for the detection of IFX-ADAs. CONCLUSIONS The LFIAs for active mAb drugs and ADAs were appropriate for the TDM of ADL and IFX. The TFI technology has unique advantages compared with other technologies used for the measurement of mAb drugs. Label-free technologies, especially those allowing for open-access LFIAs, have great potential for clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may require biologic or thiopurine therapy to control disease activity. Lack of safety data has led to therapy discontinuation during pregnancy, with health repercussions to mother and child. METHODS Between 2007 and 2019, pregnant women with IBD were enrolled in a prospective, observational, multicenter study across the United States. The primary analysis was a comparison of 5 outcomes (congenital malformations, spontaneous abortions, preterm birth, low birth weight, and infant infections) among pregnancies exposed vs unexposed in utero to biologics, thiopurines, or a combination. Bivariate analyses followed by logistic regression models adjusted for relevant confounders were used to determine the independent effects of specific drug classes on outcomes of interest. RESULTS Among 1490 completed pregnancies, there were 1431 live births. One-year infant outcomes were available in 1010. Exposure was to thiopurines (n = 242), biologics (n = 642), or both (n = 227) vs unexposed (n = 379). Drug exposure did not increase the rate of congenital malformations, spontaneous abortions, preterm birth, low birth weight, and infections during the first year of life. Higher disease activity was associated with risk of spontaneous abortion (hazard ratio, 3.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.51-7.69) and preterm birth with increased infant infection (odds ratio, 1.73; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-2.51). CONCLUSIONS Biologic, thiopurine, or combination therapy exposure during pregnancy was not associated with increased adverse maternal or fetal outcomes at birth or in the first year of life. Therapy with these agents can be continued throughout pregnancy in women with IBD to maintain disease control and reduce pregnancy-related adverse events. ClinicalTrials.gov, Number: NCT00904878.

Abstract
This article reviews therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) use for current inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatments. IBD comprises Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis-chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders. Treatment options for moderate to severe IBD include thiopurines; methotrexate; biologic agents targeting tumor necrosis factor, α4β7 integrin or interleukins 12 and 23; and Janus kinase inhibitors. TDM is recommended to guide treatment decisions for some of these agents. Published literature concerning TDM for IBD treatments was reviewed. S.D.L., R.S., and E.V.L. drew on their clinical experiences. Polymorphisms resulting in altered enzymatic activity inactivating thiopurine metabolites can lead to myelotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. Increased elimination of biologic agents can result from immunogenicity or higher disease activity, leading to low drug concentration and consequent nonresponse or loss of response. TDM may aid treatment and dose decisions for individual patients, based on monitoring metabolite levels for thiopurines, or serum drug trough concentration and antidrug antibody levels for biologic agents. Challenges remain around TDM implementation in IBD, including the lack of uniform assay methods and guidance for interpreting results. The Janus kinase inhibitor tofacitinib is not impacted by enzyme polymorphisms or disease activity, and is not expected to stimulate the formation of neutralizing antidrug antibodies. TDM is associated with implementation challenges, despite the recommendation of its use for guiding many IBD treatments. Newer small molecules with less susceptibility to patient variability factors may fulfill the unmet need of treatment options that do not require TDM, although further study is required to confirm this.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum vedolizumab (VDZ) concentrations and antibodies to VDZ (ATV) in a large cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. Furthermore, we evaluated the association between serum VDZ concentrations and a novel serum-based biomarker panel designated as the endoscopic healing index (EHI), developed and validated for identifying mucosal inflammation in patients with Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS Retrospective study where results from patient samples submitted to a commercial clinical laboratory were included. Serum VDZ and ATV levels were analyzed using a drug-tolerant assay. In CD patients for whom both VDZ and EHI were available, VDZ concentrations were correlated with EHI. serum VDZ threshold analysis was performed using ROC curves, and the serum VDZ concentrations that best differentiated EHI < 20 (previously associated with endoscopic remission) were chosen. RESULTS A total of 9356 patients were included in the VDZ/ATV analysis. Detectable ATV was observed in 2.9% patients with significantly lower serum VDZ concentrations when compared to those with undetectable ATV [3.9 µg/mL (0-9.0) vs. 11.3 µg/mL (5.9-20.6), p < 0.0001]. Of the patients with serum VDZ result, 287 patients had a concomitant EHI test. An inverse correlation was observed between VDZ concentration and EHI (rho = - 0.20, p < 0.001). A serum VDZ concentration ≥ 15.7 µg/ml was best correlated wi th an EHI < 20 [AUROC: 0.67 (95% CI 0.57-0.77)]. CONCLUSIONS Incidence of ATVs was low, but significantly associated with lower VDZ levels. A serum VDZ concentration threshold of ≥ 15.7 µg/ml was associated with endoscopic remission as defined by an EHI < 20.

Quantitative relationship between infliximab exposure and inhibition of C-reactive protein synthesis to support inflammatory bowel disease management. Br J Clin Pharmacol 2020; 87:2374-2384. [PMID: 33184852 DOI: 10.1111/bcp.14648] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2020] [Revised: 10/13/2020] [Accepted: 11/06/2020] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM Quantitative and kinetic insights into the drug exposure-disease response relationship might enhance our knowledge on loss of response and support more effective monitoring of inflammatory activity by biomarkers in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treated with infliximab (IFX). This study aimed to derive recommendations for dose adjustment and treatment optimisation based on mechanistic characterisation of the relationship between IFX serum concentration and C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration. METHODS Data from an investigator-initiated trial included 121 patients with IBD during IFX maintenance treatment. Serum concentrations of IFX, antidrug antibodies (ADA), CRP, and disease-related covariates were determined at the mid-term and end of a dosing interval. Data were analysed using a pharmacometric nonlinear mixed-effects modelling approach. An IFX exposure-CRP model was generated and applied to evaluate dosing regimens to achieve CRP remission. RESULTS The generated quantitative model showed that IFX has the potential to inhibit up to 72% (9% relative standard error [RSE]) of CRP synthesis in a patient. IFX concentration leading to 90% of the maximum CRP synthesis inhibition was 18.4 μg/mL (43% RSE). Presence of ADA was the most influential factor on IFX exposure. With standard dosing strategy, ≥55% of ADA+ patients experienced CRP nonremission. Shortening the dosing interval and co-therapy with immunomodulators were found to be the most beneficial strategies to maintain CRP remission. CONCLUSIONS With the generated model we could for the first time establish a robust relationship between IFX exposure and CRP synthesis inhibition, which could be utilised for treatment optimisation in IBD patients.

Abstract
Inhibition of programmed death 1 (PD-1), expressed on activated T cells, can break through immune resistance and elicit durable responses in human melanoma as well as other types of cancers. Canine oral malignant melanoma is one of the most aggressive tumors bearing poor prognosis due to its high metastatic potency. However, there are few effective treatments for the advanced stages of melanoma in veterinary medicine. Only one previous study indicated the potential of the immune checkpoint inhibitor, anti-canine PD-L1 therapeutic antibody in dogs, and no anti-canine PD-1 therapeutic antibodies are currently available. Here, we developed two therapeutic antibodies, rat-dog chimeric and caninized anti-canine PD-1 monoclonal antibodies and evaluated in vitro functionality for these antibodies. Moreover, we conducted a pilot study to determine their safety profiles and clinical efficacy in spontaneously occurring canine cancers. In conclusion, the anti-canine PD-1 monoclonal antibody was relatively safe and effective in dogs with advanced oral malignant melanoma and other cancers. Thus, our study suggests that PD-1 blockade may be an attractive treatment option in canine cancers.

Abstract
Biological therapies, especially blocking tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) agents have radically changed the therapeutic approach and disease course of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In particular, drugs such as infliximab (IFX) and adalimumab (ADA) have been demonstrated to be effective in inducing and maintaining corticosteroid-free remission in both adult and pediatric patients with Crohns Disease (CD) and Ulcerative colitis (UC). Biosimilar biological (BioS) therapy is increasingly being used in pediatric age even though most knowledge on the safety and efficacy of these agents is based on IFX in adult IBD data. Studies show high rates of clinical response and remission in both IFX naïve patients and in patients switched from originator to BioS with similar risks of adverse events (AEs) as those reported with IFX originator. In the present review indications, efficacy and AEs of biological therapy in pediatric IBD will be discussed, as well as the role of other biological agents such as Golimumab, Vedolizumab and Ustekinumab, the role of BioS biological therapy and utility of therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In infliximab (IFX) treatment for Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), it is difficult to predict treatment failure during the induction phase. In the present study for optimal IFX treatment, we attempted to estimate serum IFX concentration and clinical response in individual patients during the induction phase to predict the indication of therapeutic effect and the possibility of treatment failure in the maintenance phase. METHODS We estimated pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) parameters and predicted the serum IFX concentration and clinical response using a PK/PD model and Markov chain Monte Carlo Bayesian analysis method during the induction phase. Then, we determined whether the indication of therapeutic effect between predicted and observed clinical response were matched during the maintenance phase. RESULTS Data obtained from 15 patients were analyzed. The correlation between predicted and observed values of serum IFX concentration (Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, 0.700; P < 0.0001, n = 68) and clinical response of CD patients (0.790; P < 0.0001, n = 25) and UC patients (0.702; P = 0.0004, n = 21) were significantly high. The indication of therapeutic effect at the final time point of each patient (from day 115 to day 203) were successfully predicted in 14 of 15 patients (93.3%). CONCLUSIONS This study presents prediction of serum IFX concentration and clinical response in individual patients during induction therapy, with presumption of the indication of therapeutic effect and the treatment failure in the maintenance phase. Our results show the possibility of optimizing IFX therapy during the induction phase.

Abstract
Background While quantitation methods for small-molecule and tryptic peptide bottom-up mass spectrometry (MS) have been well defined, quantitation methods for top-down or middle-up MS approaches have not been as well defined. Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (t-mAbs) are a group of proteins that can be used to both demonstrate the advantages of top-down or middle-up detection methods over classic tryptic peptide bottom-up along with the growing need for robust quantitation strategies/software for these top-down or middle-up methods. Bottom-up proteolytic digest methods for the t-mAbs tend to suffer from challenges such as limited peptide selection due to potential interference from the polyclonal immunoglobulin background, complicated workflows, and inadequate sensitivity and specificity without laborious purification steps, and therefore have prompted the search for new detection and quantitation methods. Time-of-flight along with Orbitrap MS have recently evolved from the research and/or pharmaceutical setting into the clinical laboratory. With their superior mass measurement accuracy, resolution and scanning speeds, these are ideal platforms for top-down or middle-up characterization and quantitation. Methods We demonstrate a validated, robust, middle-up protein subunit detection and quantitation method for the IgG1 t-mAb, vedolizumab (VEDO), which takes advantage of the high resolution of the Orbitrap MS detection and quantitation software to increase specificity. Results Validated performance characteristics met pre-defined acceptance criteria with simple workflows and rapid turnaround times: characteristics necessary for implementation into a high-volume clinical MS laboratory. Conclusions While the extraction method can easily be used with other IgG1 t-mAbs, the detection and quantitation method may become an option for measurement of other proteins.

Abstract
AIMS The aims of this study were (a) to know the kinetics of antitumor necrosis factor (TNF) drug serum levels during the induction phase in patients with Crohn's disease; (b) to identify variables associated with these levels; and (c) to assess the relation between these levels and short-term effectiveness in Crohn's disease patients. METHODS Patients with Crohn's disease naïve to anti-TNF treatment were prospectively included. Remission was defined as a Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI) score <150 after 14 weeks of treatment. Blood samples were obtained at baseline and at weeks 4, 8, and 14. Adalimumab and infliximab levels were measured, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed, and the area under the ROC curve was calculated. RESULTS One-hundred fifty patients with Crohn's disease were included, 79 (53%) received infliximab and 71 (47%) had CDAI > 150 at study entry. At week 14, 52 out of 71 patients with CDAI > 150 at baseline (73%) had clinical remission. There were no differences in infliximab levels between patients with and without remission (8 vs. 9.1 μg/mL, P > 0.05) or with and without response (7 vs. 11 μg/mL, P > 0.05) at week 14. There was a trend to higher levels of adalimumab concentration in responders in comparison with nonresponders (13 vs. 6.7 μg/mL, P = 0.05) and in patients who achieved remission in comparison with nonremitters (13.5 vs. 8.4 μg/mL, P = 0.06). In the multivariate analysis, no variable was predictive of short-term remission, including infliximab and adalimumab serum levels. CONCLUSION Determining anti-TNF serum levels during the induction phase is not useful for predicting short-term remission in patients with Crohn's disease.

Abstract
The advent of biological therapies has been a major therapeutic advance in rheumatology. Many patients now enjoy improved quality of life through better disease control. The number of therapies continues to grow both within drug class (including biosimilar drugs) and via new mechanisms. For the first time, nonbiological drugs such as small-molecule inhibitors (Janus kinase inhibitors) have shown clinical equivalence. However, clinical unmet need remains with up to a third of patients commenced on a biologic therapy having minimal or no response: (a) Generally, the first biologic used secures the best response, with likelihood of remission falling thereafter with successive therapies; (b) the success of strategy trials using biological therapies can be difficult to replicate in clinical practice due to a combination of patient factors and service limitations. Accordingly, ensuring optimization of initial treatment is an important consideration before switching to alternatives. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the measurement of serum levels of a biologic drug with the aim of improving patient care. It is usually combined with detection of any antidrug antibodies that could neutralize the effect of the therapy. This technology has the potential to be a form of 'personalized medicine' by individualizing therapy, in particular, dosing and likelihood of sustained treatment response. It requires a clear relationship between drug dose, blood concentration and therapeutic effect. This paper will outline the technology behind TDM and unpack what we can learn from our colleagues in gastroenterology, where the adoption of TDM is at a more advanced stage than in rheumatology. It will explore and set out a number of clinical scenarios where rheumatologists might find TDM helpful in day-to-day practice. Finally, an outline is given of international developments, including regulatory body appraisals and guideline development.

Abstract
Infliximab was the first monoclonal antibody to be approved for the treatment of pediatric and adult patients with moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). It has been shown to induce and maintain both clinical remission and mucosal healing in pediatric and adult patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are unresponsive or refractory to conventional therapies. The administration of infliximab is weight-based and the drug is administered intravenously. The volume of distribution of infliximab is low and at steady state ranges from 4.5 to 6 L. Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies, such as immunoglobulins, are cleared from the circulation primarily by catabolism. Median infliximab half-life is approximately 14 days. Infliximab concentration-time data in patients with CD and UC have been shown to be highly variable within an individual patient over time and between individuals by multiple population pharmacokinetic models. Covariates that have been identified to account for a part of the observed inter- and intra-individual variability in clearance are the presence of antidrug antibodies, use of concomitant immunomodulators, degree of systemic inflammation, serum albumin concentration, and body weight, which can affect the pharmacodynamic response. This article provides a comprehensive review of the clinical pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of infliximab, as well as the role of therapeutic drug monitoring in the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Loss of response in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients treated with biologic medications can be due to development of anti-drug antibodies. Natural history of anti-drug antibodies development has not been well described in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. The primary aim of this study was to describe a single-center experience for the temporal onset of anti-drug antibodies detection. METHODS We performed a retrospective, single-center chart review of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease patients at the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital from 2010 to 2015. Patients were treated with infliximab or adalimumab and had at least two evaluations for anti-drug antibodies with the homogenous mobility shift assay. Demographics, laboratory and medication data, and clinical disease activity were collected. RESULTS A total of 75 subjects are included in the analysis. Eighty-one percent of subjects were treated with infliximab. Eleven subjects developed anti-drug antibodies; average time to anti-drug antibodies detection was 13.2 ± 7.3 months. Longer duration of inflammatory bowel disease, L1 location in Crohn's disease, and not having immunomodulatory therapy before biologic was associated with higher risk of antibody detection. Antibody detection occurred more frequently with infliximab vs. adalimumab. Time-to-antibody detection for infliximab and adalimumab was 14.83 and 23.48 months, respectively. CONCLUSION Chances of anti-drug antibodies detection in the infliximab group were higher than the adalimumab group. Time-to-antibody detection was 8.65 months longer in patients who received adalimumab when compared to infliximab. These results may have implications for long-term therapy and help guide use of concomitant immunomodulators.

Abstract
Objectives: Up to 40% of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients treated with anti-TNF drugs lose response within 1 year of treatment, therefore requiring drug optimization. Although higher drug trough levels (TLs) are associated with sustained clinical outcomes, there are concerns that they may be associated with a higher risk of adverse events (AEs). The aim was to evaluate the presence of a possible association between drug TLs and the occurrence of AEs in IBD patients treated with anti-TNF drugs.Methods: We retrospectively studied a cohort of 113 IBD patients treated with adalimumab or infliximab, of whom 27 were in combination therapy with immunosuppressants. TLs were measured using a homogeneous mobility shift assay.Results: During a median follow-up of 16 months (range 1-144), we observed 103 AEs occurring in 58 patients. We found no statistically significant difference (p = .21) in median TLs between patients who did 6.7 mcg/mL; range 0.0-36.2) or did not (7.7 mcg/mL; range 0.0-20.7) experience an AE. No difference was observed in the rate of AEs between patients in mono- or combination therapy (p = .38), as well as between elderly (i.e., >65 years) and younger patients (p = .32). Considering a TL cutoff of 7 mcg/mL for infliximab and 12 mcg/mL for adalimumab, or even double these TL values, we observed no statistically significant difference in the rate of AEs occurrence.Conclusion: Our study suggests that, when clinically required, anti-TNF drug dosage may be increased without particular concerns regarding the risk of AEs occurrence in IBD patients, even in patients on combination therapy and elderly ones.

Abstract
Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is an inflammatory bowel disease typically affecting the colon. Patients with active UC have elevated tumor necrosis factor (TNF) concentrations in serum and colonic tissue. Infliximab is a monoclonal antibody directed against TNF and binds with high affinity. Target-mediated drug disposition (TMDD) is reported for monoclonal antibodies meaning that their pharmacokinetics are affected by high target affinity. Here, a TMDD model is proposed to describe the interaction between infliximab and TNF in UC patients. Data from 20 patients with moderate to severe UC was used. Patients received standard infliximab induction therapy (5 mg kg−1) at week 0, followed by infusions at week 2 and 6. IFX, anti-drug antibodies and TNF serum concentrations were measured at day 0 (1 h after infusion), 1, 4, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 28 and 42. A binding model, TMDD model, and a quasi-steady state (QSS) approximation were evaluated using nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NONMEM). A two-compartment model best described the concentration–time profiles of infliximab. Typical clearance of infliximab was 0.404 L day−1 and increased with the presence of anti-drug antibodies and with lower albumin concentrations. The TMDD-QSS model best described the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics data. Estimate for TNF baseline (Bmax was 19.8 pg mL−1 and the dissociation constant (Kss) was 13.6 nM. This model could eventually be used to investigate the relationship between suppression of TNF and the response to IFX therapy.

Abstract
By monitoring serum concentrations of infliximab (IFX) and adalimumab (ADL) and levels of their antibodies in patients with inflammatory diseases, clinicians can adjust dose and increase safety and effectiveness of treatment. The aim was to develop and validate in-house enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for IFX and ADL, together with anti-IFX and anti-ADL ELISAs for routine detection and further analysis with acid dissociation of immune complexes. Furthermore, the objectives were to compare in-house assays with commercial ELISAs and reporter gene assays (RGAs) and to determine cross-reactivity between original Remicade®/Remsima™ and their antibodies. In-house ELISAs were validated (imprecision, accuracy among other criteria) and compared with commercial apDia ELISAs and RGAs. Correlation coefficients, intraclass correlation coefficients, agreement, and bias were calculated. All in-house ELISAs gave precise and repeatable results. The immune complexes between IFX and anti-IFX were found in 3% of samples, while complexes between ADL and anti-ADL were found in 14% of samples. Significant correlations were found between in-house and apDia ELISAs and RGA for IFX, ADL, anti-IFX, and anti-ADL results. Remicade®, Remsima™, and their antibodies could be accurately measured with either apDia or in-house IFX and anti-IFX ELISAs. Accurate and precise in-house ELISAs, highly comparable with commercial ELISAs and RGAs, were developed and validated for routine analysis of samples of patients treated with IFX (Remicade® or Remsima™) or ADL providing substantial cost benefit. Complex dissociation identified samples with anti-IFX-IFX (3%) and anti-ADL-ADL (14%) complexes indicating the benefit of adding acid dissociation to therapeutic drug monitoring of IFX and ADL.
