Anti-Drug Antibody Response to Therapeutic Antibodies and Potential Mitigation Strategies.

The development of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) poses significant challenges in the efficacy and safety of these treatments. ADAs can lead to adverse immune reactions, reduced drug efficacy, and increased clearance of therapeutic antibodies. This paper reviews the formation and mechanisms of ADAs, explores factors contributing to their development, and discusses potential strategies to mitigate ADA responses. Current and emerging strategies to reduce ADA formation include in silico and in vitro prediction tools, deimmunization techniques, antibody engineering, and various drug delivery methods. Additionally, novel approaches such as tolerogenic nanoparticles, oral tolerance, and in vivo delivery of therapeutic proteins via viral vectors and synthetic mRNA or DNA are explored. These strategies have the potential to enhance clinical outcomes of mAb therapies by minimizing immunogenicity and improving patient safety. Further research and innovation in this field are critical to overcoming the ongoing challenges of ADA responses in therapeutic antibody development.
