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.
