1. Immunogenicity Tracking Must Be
               Standardized, Frequent, and Central


               Today, immunogenicity data—specifically ADA
               formation—is inconsistently measured and inconsistently
               reported. Some trials test only for binding antibodies.
               Others assess neutralizing antibodies. Some measure at
               baseline and Week 12; others omit post-induction data
               entirely.

               To take immune tolerance seriously, ADA surveillance
               must become a core trial metric, not a checkbox.


               Previously we discussed the FDA’s guidance on ADAs.
               This is a step in the right direction, but to create an accurate
               and equitable assessment expansion needs to occur.


                   Key Principle                 Description
                                      ADA (anti-drug antibody)
                                      formation is not static and can arise
                                      unpredictably over time. Relying
                                      only on early or predefined
                Frequent Testing      endpoints risks missing important
                Throughout the        immune responses. Regular, high-
                Study
                                      resolution ADA sampling enables
                                      better understanding of the
                                      biologic-immune system
                                      interaction.

                                      Short-term windows (e.g., 12–24
                Longitudinal          weeks) may capture initial efficacy
                Tracking of ADA       but miss later ADA emergence,
                Over Time             which often lags behind. Patients
                                      may lose response months after
