Abstract
- Zinpentraxin alfa (rhPTX-2; PRM-151) is currently being developed for the treatment of fibrotic diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and myelofibrosis. Notably, because it is administered chronically and has an endogenously expressed counterpart, clinical studies of zinpentraxin alpha must include immunogenicity assessments. Since the typical homogenous bridging ELISA assay does not adequately measure anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against zinpentraxin alfa, additional assay formats have been developed to evaluate immunogenicity of this therapeutic. Here, we present the evaluation of four distinct assay formats that were used to measure zinpentraxin alpha ADA: step-wise bridging, direct binding, total ADA, and the semi-homogeneous formats, based on multiple parameters including assay sensitivity, precision, and drug tolerance. This paper presents the full details of method development for each of the aforementioned assay formats including evaluation of sample pre-treatment, determination of cut point, and assessment of assay performance by analyzing a subset of clinical samples. Overall, the semi-homogenous ADA assay format with no sample pre-treatment was selected for the measurement of zinpentraxin alpha immunogenicity as it provided the desired sensitivity, drug tolerance, and reproducibility. Our study emphasizes the importance of assay format evaluation during drug development and the necessity to select the most suitable assay format and sample pre-treatment method by which to evaluate therapeutic drug immunogenicity. • Importance of immunogenicity evaluations in clinical trials. • Performance-based evaluation of 4 assay formats at the method development stage. • Importance of assay format selection for clinical sample testing.
