  • 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.

Rodriguez Copy Editor: Cui Yu Production Editor: Huan-Liang Wu Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are a rapidly growing new class of anti-cancer agents which may improve GI cancer patient survival. ADCs combine tumour-antigen specific antibodies with cytotoxic drugs to deliver tumour cell specific chemotherapy. Currently, only two ADCs [brentuximab vedotin and trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1)] have been Food and Drug Administration approved for the treatment of lymphoma and metastatic breast cancer, respectively. Clinical research evaluating ADCs in GI cancers has shown limited success. In this review, we will retrace the relevant clinical trials investigating ADCs in GI cancers, especially ADCs targeting human epidermal growth receptor 2, mesothelin, guanylyl cyclase C, carcinogenic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (also known as CEACAM5) and other GI malignancy specific targets.

Tomo Riba Institute of Health and Medical DOI: https://doi.org/10.22271/ortho.2020.v6.i3b.2183 Sciences (TRIHMS), Arunachal Pradesh, India Abstract Background: Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a successful surgical procedure for reducing Dr. Moji Jini pain and improving physical function in osteoarthritis. It is one of the most effective orthopaedic Director, Tomo Riba Institute of procedures. Health and Medical Sciences, Material and methods: Patients were eligible for the study if they were aged 18 years or older and were Arunachal Pradesh, India scheduled for total hip arthroplasty. Patients were ineligible if they were scheduled to undergo staged, bilateral hip arthroplasty were pregnant or breastfeeding, had active bleeding or a high risk of bleeding, or any disorder contraindicating the use of Rivaroxaban/enoxaparin that might necessitate enoxaparin dose adjustment. Results: Of the 52 patients enrolled in study, 52 patients were randomized to receive either Rivaroxaban (n=26) or enoxaparin (n=26). The baseline demographic characteristics of the two randomized treatment groups are well balanced as described in Table 1. The surgical characteristics are described in Table 2. Conclusion: Rivaroxaban, given as a once-daily 10 mg fixed dose 6–8 h postoperatively, is the first new oral anticoagulant to significantly reduce the incidence of venous thromboembolism after total knee arthroplasty, compared with enoxaparin 30 mg twice daily, starting 12–24 h postoperatively, without a significant difference in the risk of major or clinically relevant bleeding.

Upon administration, tanibirumab specifically binds to VEGFR2, thereby preventing the binding of its ligand VEGF. This may result in the inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and a decrease in tumor nutrient supply. VEGFR2 is a pro-angiogenic growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase expressed by endothelial cells, while VEGF is overexpressed in many tumors and is correlated to tumor progression.

We used a multi-level model to evaluate prevalence of missingness by decedent characteristics, accounting for geographic clustering. & J.M. Lawrence, X. Li. Department of Research Evaluation, Kaiser Results: One-fifth of 351,345 drug overdose deaths from 2010-2016 did not Permanente Southern California, Pasadena, CA indicate a specific drug, declining from 24.4% in 2010 to 14.6% in 2016. In a multi-level model controlling for all predictors, deaths were less likely to Purpose: Gestational diabetes (GDM) surveillance frequently relies on In- have missing information if they occurred in metro counties compared to ternational Classification of Disease (ICD) codes to identify cases. GDM di- rural counties (aOR: 0.31, 95%CI: 0.24, 0.41) and in counties with medical agnoses can be based on several criteria including Carpenter & Coustan examiners versus coroners (aOR: 0.57, 95%CI: 0.47, 0.69). Male decedents (C&C) and International Association of Diabetes in Pregnancy Group were less likely to have missing information than females (aOR: 0.73, 95% (IADPSG). Our objectives were to describe GDM testing patterns within one CI: 0.69, 0.77), and non-Hispanic whites were more likely to have missing large health system and evaluate how well diagnostic coding corresponds information than non-Hispanic blacks (aOR: 1.31, 95%CI: 1.2, 1.4).
