  • Predictive QSAR Tools to Aid in Early Process Development of Monoclonal Antibodies
    Predictive QSAR tools to aid in early process development of monoclonal antibodies John Micael Andreas Karlberg Published work submitted to Newcastle University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of Engineering November 2019 Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become one of the fastest growing markets for diagnostic and therapeutic treatments over the last 30 years with a global sales revenue around $89 billion reported in 2017. A popular framework widely used in pharmaceutical industries for designing manufacturing processes for mAbs is Quality by Design (QbD) due to providing a structured and systematic approach in investigation and screening process parameters that might influence the product quality. However, due to the large number of product quality attributes (CQAs) and process parameters that exist in an mAb process platform, extensive investigation is needed to characterise their impact on the product quality which makes the process development costly and time consuming. There is thus an urgent need for methods and tools that can be used for early risk-based selection of critical product properties and process factors to reduce the number of potential factors that have to be investigated, thereby aiding in speeding up the process development and reduce costs. In this study, a framework for predictive model development based on Quantitative Structure- Activity Relationship (QSAR) modelling was developed to link structural features and properties of mAbs to Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC) retention times and expressed mAb yield from HEK cells. Model development was based on a structured approach for incremental model refinement and evaluation that aided in increasing model performance until becoming acceptable in accordance to the OECD guidelines for QSAR models.

  • Distinct Apoptotic Signaling Characteristics of the Anti-CD40
    Published OnlineFirst May 24, 2011; DOI: 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-11-0479 Clinical Cancer Cancer Therapy: Preclinical Research Distinct Apoptotic Signaling Characteristics of the Anti-CD40 Monoclonal Antibody Dacetuzumab and Rituximab Produce Enhanced Antitumor Activity in Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Timothy S. Lewis1, Renee S. McCormick1, Kim Emmerton1, Jeffrey T. Lau3, Shang-Fan Yu3, Julie A. McEarchern2, Iqbal S. Grewal1, and Che-Leung Law1 Abstract Purpose: Individually targeting B-cell antigens with monoclonal antibody therapeutics has improved the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). We examined if the antitumor activity of rituximab, CD20-specific antibody, could be improved by simultaneously targeting CD40 with the humanized monoclonal antibody dacetuzumab (SGN-40). Experimental Design: Dacetuzumab was dosed with rituximab to determine the in vivo activity of this combination in a subcutaneous Ramos xenograft model of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The effect of dacetuzumab on rituximab antibody-dependent cell mediated–cytotoxicity (ADCC), antiproliferative, and apoptotic activities were evaluated in vitro using NHL cell lines. Western blotting and flow cytometry were used to contrast the signaling pathways activated by dacetuzumab and rituximab in NHL cells. Results: The dacetuzumab-rituximab combination had significantly improved antitumor activity over the equivalent dose of rituximab in the Ramos xenograft model (P ¼ 0.0021). Dacetuzumab did not augment rituximab-mediated ADCC activity; however, these antibodies were additive to synergistic in cell- proliferation assays and produced increased apoptosis in combination. Rituximab signaling downregu- lated BCL-6 oncoprotein in a cell line–specific manner, whereas dacetuzumab strongly downregulated BCL-6 in each cell line. Dacetuzumab induced expression of the proapoptotic proteins TAp63 and Fas, whereas rituximab did not affect basal expression of either protein.
