Abstract
Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring of biological Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-alpha inhibitors is of critical importance. In this study, the performance of practically advantageous chemiluminescent immunoassays of Theradiag, assessing Infliximab and Adalimumab serum concentrations and anti-drug antibodies (ADA) against these biologics, were compared to the Enzyme-Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assays (ELISAs) from Sanquin Diagnostics.
Methods: Leftover serum samples (n = 80 for each parameter) from patients treated with Infliximab or Adalimumab were collected. Correlation and agreement analyses for serum concentration and ADAs, respectively, were performed. Both Theradiag ADA assays, an assay targeting both free and bound ADAs and an assay targeting solely free ADAs, were investigated and compared to the Sanquin Diagnostics ADA assay, targeting both free and bound ADAs.
Results: Strong positive correlations were observed between the biologic concentration assessment of Infliximab (Spearman's Rho = 0.91) and Adalimumab (Spearman's Rho = 0.94). However, there appeared to be significant bias in the Theradiag assay when compared to Sanquin (Infliximab median (Confidence Interval (CI)) = 2.1 (1.7-2.6) µg/mL; Adalimumab median (CI) = 0.8 (0.5-0.9) µg/mL). Agreement analyses showed moderate to good agreement for the Theradiag and Sanquin Diagnostics ADA assays, when detecting both free and bound ADAs, for Infliximab (Cohen's k = 0.717) and Adalimumab (Cohen's k = 0.802). In contrast, the Theradiag ADA assay detecting solely free ADAs had zero to poor agreement for Infliximab (Cohen's k = 0.458) and Adalimumab (Cohen's k = 0.119), respectively.
Conclusions: This study demonstrated strong correlations and good agreement between the Theradiag and Sanquin Diagnostics assays measuring Infliximab and Adalimumab serum concentrations and ADAs, both free and bound, against these biologics. Discordance analyses showed significantly decreased drug concentrations in the solely free assays, indicating that the combined detection of free and bound ADAs better aligns with drug levels.
期刊介绍:
Antibodies (ISSN 2073-4468), an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to antibodies and antigens. It publishes reviews, research articles, communications and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Full experimental and/or methodical details must be provided. Electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure - if unable to be published in a normal way - can be deposited as supplementary material. This journal covers all topics related to antibodies and antigens, topics of interest include (but are not limited to): antibody-producing cells (including B cells), antibody structure and function, antibody-antigen interactions, Fc receptors, antibody manufacturing antibody engineering, antibody therapy, immunoassays, antibody diagnosis, tissue antigens, exogenous antigens, endogenous antigens, autoantigens, monoclonal antibodies, natural antibodies, humoral immune responses, immunoregulatory molecules.
