AI Article Synopsis

  • The study evaluated the effectiveness of therapeutic drug monitoring for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients using two pharmacokinetic models to analyze adalimumab levels post-induction.
  • A retrospective review identified that most patients with Crohn disease required monitoring, and the de Klaver model showed less bias in predicting adalimumab concentrations compared to the Ternant model.
  • Findings revealed that nearly 50% of patients needed dose adjustments during maintenance therapy to reach effective drug levels and maintain remission.

Article Abstract

Objectives: Therapeutic drug monitoring in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been used to achieve and maintain remission. Few guidelines exist to aid clinicians in the adjustment of anti-tumor necrosis factor therapies. The objective was to assess the agreement between real-world postinduction and analysis of retrospective data, using 2 novel pharmacokinetic (PK) models for adalimumab.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted in pediatric IBD patients treated with adalimumab. A Bayesian clinical decision support tool (InsightRX) was used. Postinduction serum concentration measurements of adalimumab were performed by drug-tolerant, homogenous shift mobility assay. Predicted serum adalimumab concentrations from both models were compared to the actual serum concentrations through a Bland-Altman analysis. Paired sample test was used for equivalence.

Results: A total of 47 patients were included. Forty-one patients (87%) had Crohn disease, and 30 (64%) were male. Most were induced with 160 mg of adalimumab and maintained on 40 mg biweekly. No significant difference resulted between the de Klaver average prediction and mean population concentration (p = 0.294). Significant difference was observed between Ternant and mean population serum adalimumab concentration (p < 0.001). The Bland-Altman plot for the de Klaver method showed no proportional bias. Additionally, 49% of patients required a dose adjustment during maintenance therapy.

Conclusions: The de Klaver model was able to provide less bias than the Ternant model and may aid in predicting serum adalimumab concentrations. Approximately half of the patients required dose adjustment during maintenance therapy to obtain a therapeutic drug concentration or achieve clinical remission.

Background/aim: We aimed to investigate the relationship between serum antidrug antibodies (ADAbs), systemic hypersensitivity, or local injection site reactions to tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) drugs and to detect the role of skin tests in the diagnosis of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) against anti-TNFs.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-nine ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and 46 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients taking infliximab (IFX), adalimumab (ADA), and etanercept (ETN) were enrolled. The demographical data, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and c-reactive protein (CRP) levels of the patients were determined, and the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) assessment for AS patients and DAS28 (disease activity score) for RA patients were assessed.

Background: Mass spectrometry methods are emerging as tools to detect M-proteins in the serum of multiple myeloma patients with increased sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional electrophoretic methods.

Methods: A liquid handling system, the Agilent AssayMAP Bravo, with liquid chromatography high-resolution quadrupole-time-of-flight (LC-QTOF) mass spectrometry to analyze intact light chains was compared to immunofixation electrophoresis (IFE) for M-protein analysis. 210 patient serum samples were analyzed in a split sample comparison (LC-QTOF vs.

HIGH BODY MASS INDEX IS ASSOCIATED WITH LOWER ADALIMUMAB SERUM LEVELS AND HIGHER DISEASE ACTIVITY IN NON-INFECTIOUS UVEITIS.

Purpose: Adalimumab, a TNF-alpha inhibitor, is the only FDA-approved biologic for non-infectious uveitis (NIU). However, treatment responses vary, potentially due to interindividual pharmacokinetic differences influenced by body mass index (BMI). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of BMI on adalimumab serum trough levels and therapeutic efficacy in patients with NIU.

Background: Commonly, ligand-binding platforms are being used for immunogenicity assessment, but with the recent advent of liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for protein quantification, this technology has become an alternative for the measurement of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), when combined with an immunocapture step to extract them out of the biological sample.

Method: The monoclonal antibody adalimumab was immobilized on magnetic beads to isolate ADAs against this drug from serum samples. Multiple repetitions of immunopurification were used to minimize nonspecific binding and improve drug tolerance while maintaining sufficient recovery.

Background And Objectives: The high costs associated with biological agents often limit accessibility for many patients, whereas biosimilars allow the wider application of biological treatment. The objectives of this phase I clinical trial were to compare the pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, and safety profiles of the biosimilar adalimumab-WIBP and the reference product Humira and to assess the precision of the bioequivalence evaluation.

Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, parallel-group bioequivalence study, 164 healthy male Chinese participants were selected and randomly divided into two groups on a 1:1 ratio.
