  • 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.

ABSTRACT The clinical outcome of T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is poor and innovative treatments are needed. Tenascin-C is a large extracellular glycoprotein not expressed under physiological conditions, but overexpressed in cancer. Aim of the study was to evaluate tenascin-C expression within pathologic tissue of T-cell NHL and determine its clinical significance.

  • Antibody-Radionuclide Conjugates for Cancer Therapy: Historical Considerations and New Trends
    CCR FOCUS Antibody-Radionuclide Conjugates for Cancer Therapy: Historical Considerations and New Trends Martina Steiner and Dario Neri Abstract When delivered at a sufficient dose and dose rate to a neoplastic mass, radiation can kill tumor cells. Because cancer frequently presents as a disseminated disease, it is imperative to deliver cytotoxic radiation not only to the primary tumor but also to distant metastases, while reducing exposure of healthy organs as much as possible. Monoclonal antibodies and their fragments, labeled with therapeutic radionuclides, have been used for many years in the development of anticancer strategies, with the aim of concentrating radioactivity at the tumor site and sparing normal tissues. This review surveys important milestones in the development and clinical implementation of radioimmunotherapy and critically examines new trends for the antibody-mediated targeted delivery of radionuclides to sites of cancer.

    Gergely: Immunfarmakológia Immunfarmakológia Prof Gergely Péter Az immunpatológiai betegségek döntő többsége gyulladásos, és ennek következtében általában szövetpusztulással járó betegség, melyben – jelenleg – a terápia alapvetően a gyulladás csökkentésére és/vagy megszűntetésére irányul. Vannak kizárólag gyulladásgátló gyógyszereink és vannak olyanok, amelyek az immunreakció(k) bénításával (=immunszuppresszió révén) vagy emellett vezetnek a gyulladás mérsékléséhez. Mind szerkezetileg, mind hatástanilag igen sokféle csoportba oszthatók, az alábbi felosztás elsősorban didaktikus célokat szolgál. 1. Nem-szteroid gyulladásgátlók (‘nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs’ NSAID) 2. Kortikoszteroidok 3. Allergia-elleni szerek (antiallergikumok) 4. Sejtoszlás-gátlók (citosztatikumok) 5. Nem citosztatikus hatású immunszuppresszív szerek 6. Egyéb gyulladásgátlók és immunmoduláns szerek 7. Biológiai terápia 1. Nem-szteroid gyulladásgátlók (NSAID) Ezeket a vegyületeket, melyek őse a szalicilsav (jelenleg, mint acetilszalicilsav ‘aszpirin’ használatos), igen kiterjedten alkalmazzák a reumatológiában, az onkológiában és az orvostudomány szinte minden ágában, ahol fájdalom- és lázcsillapításra van szükség. Egyes felmérések szerint a betegek egy ötöde szed valamilyen NSAID készítményt. Szerkezetük alapján a készítményeket több csoportba sorolhatjuk: szalicilátok (pl. acetilszalicilsav) pyrazolidinek (pl. fenilbutazon) ecetsav származékok (pl. indometacin) fenoxiecetsav származékok (pl. diclofenac, aceclofenac)) oxicamok (pl. piroxicam, meloxicam) propionsav

    Review TheProgressandPromiseofMolecularImagingProbesin Oncologic Drug Development Gary J. Kelloff,1Kenneth A. Krohn,3 Steven M. Larson,4 Ralph Weissleder,5 David A. Mankoff,3 John M. Hoffman,1Jeanne M. Link, 3 Kathryn Z. Guyton,6 William C. Eckelman,2 Howard I. Scher,4 Joyce O’Shaughnessy,7 Bruce D. Cheson,8 Caroline C. Sigman,6 James L. Tatum,1 George Q. Mills,9 Daniel C. Sullivan,1and Janet Woodcock10 Abstract As addressed by the recent Food and Drug Administration Critical Path Initiative, tools are urgently needed to increase the speed, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of drug development for cancer and other diseases. Molecular imaging probes developed based on recent scientific advances have great potential as oncologic drug development tools. Basic science studies using molecular imaging probes can help to identify and characterize disease-specific targets for oncologic drug therapy. Imaging end points, based on these disease-specific biomarkers, hold great promise to better define, stratify, and enrich study groups and to provide direct biological measures of response. Imaging-based biomarkers also have promise for speeding drug evaluation by supplementing or replacing preclinical and clinical pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluations, including target interaction and modulation. Such analyses may be particularly valuable in early comparative studies among candidates designed to interact with the same molecular target. Finally, as response biomarkers, imaging end points that characterize tumor vitality, growth, or apoptosis can also serve as early surrogates of therapy success. This article outlines the scientific basis of oncology imaging probes and presents examples of probes that could facilitate progress. The current regulatory opportunities for new and existing probe development and testing are also reviewed, with a focus on recent Food and Drug Administra- tion guidance to facilitate early clinical development of promising probes.
