Semi-mechanistic population pharmacokinetic modeling of DZIF-10c, a neutralizing antibody against SARS-Cov-2: predicting systemic and lung exposure following inhaled and intravenous administration.

DZIF-10c (BI 767551) is a recombinant human monoclonal antibody of the IgG1 kappa isotype. It acts as a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody. DZIF-10c has been developed for both systemic exposure by intravenous infusion as well as for specific exposure to the respiratory tract by application as an inhaled aerosol generated by a nebulizer.

Whole blood stability evaluation of monoclonal antibody therapeutics using volumetric absorptive microsampling.

Volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) is increasingly utilized for both nonclinical and clinical pharmacokinetic studies. Currently, VAMS is employed as the sampling method for the detection of antibodies for coronavirus disease 2019. Biotherapeutics whole blood stability on VAMS presents as a critical concern for the health and pharmaceutical industries.
