The number of biologic drugs available for the treatment of psoriasis continue to expand. However, being biological proteins and thus potentially immunogenic, there is evidence that anti-drug-antibodies develop against the various therapeutic proteins currently being utilised. Although chimeric antibodies that contain elements of the parental rodent monoclonal antibodies are immunogenic, anti-drug antibodies occur even if the biologic is a fully human protein and these can impact on clinical efficacy and safety. However, there is a wide variation in the reported level of anti-drug-antibodies for the same and different treatments that is highlighting issues with various assays used in anti-drug antibody detection. Here we review the available data on the occurrence of anti-drug antibodies in people with psoriasis treated with biologic agents.

Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring is important for optimizing anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) therapy in inflammatory bowel disease. However, the exposure-response relationship has never been assessed in pouchitis.

Aims: To explore associations between anti-TNF-α drug concentration and pouchitis disease activity in patients with a background of ulcerative colitis.

The introduction of anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (anti-TNF-α) agents, particularly infliximab (IFX) and adalimumab (ADA), has significantly expanded the therapeutic arsenal for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While these biologics have demonstrated substantial efficacy, they are associated with a spectrum of potential adverse events (AEs). This study aims to evaluate and document these AEs to facilitate optimal patient selection and monitoring strategies of patients undergoing these therapies.

Aflibercept and brolucizumab, two anti-VEGF agents used as intravitreal injections in ophthalmology, differ significantly in molecular weight (aflibercept-115 kDa and brolucizumab-26 kDa). Using aqueous humor samples collected after drug administration, we measured and performed a comparative analysis of pharmacokinetics and half-lives of these drugs in the human eye. Since the quantification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) using antigen-antibody reactions, such as ELISA, is influenced by endogenous ligands or anti-drug antibodies, we employed nano-surface and molecular-orientation limited proteolysis (nSMOL), combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), for accurate measurements.

Involvement of HLADQA1*05 in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated with Anti-TNF Drugs.

: Over the past decade, TNF inhibitors such as Infliximab and Adalimumab have become central to Inflammatory Bowel Diseases treatment, greatly enhancing patient outcomes. However, immunogenicity-where anti-drug antibodies diminish effectiveness-remains an issue, often requiring dose changes or combination therapies. Pharmacogenomics is increasingly applied in IBD to personalise treatment, especially since genetic factors like the HLA-DQA1*05 variant heighten the immunogenicity risk with IFX.

Background: The emergence of tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (anti-TNF) has considerably changed the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in patients who do not respond to traditional therapies. This study assesses the prevalence of anti-TNF drug levels (DLs) and antibodies (ATAbs) in patients with IBD in Saudi Arabia and explores their associations with IBD type and prior anti-TNF failure.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included patients aged 14-75 years diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC), treated with anti-TNF medications at King Fahad Medical City over January 2016 to December 2022.
