These agents provide numerous benefits compared to traditional small molecule drugs, though their clinical use still requires optimization. The pharmacology of mAbs/ADCs is complex and because ADCs are comprised of multiple components, individual agent characteristics and patient variables can affect their disposition. To further improve the clinical use and rational development of these agents, it is imperative to comprehend the complex mechanisms employed by antibody-based agents in traversing numerous biological barriers and how agent/patient factors affect tumor delivery, toxicities, efficacy, and ultimately, biodistribution.

Attention: Dhushy Thambipillai Regulatory Project Management 1 DNA Way, Bldg 45-1 South San Francisco, CA 94080 RE: Emergency Use Authorization 099 Dear Ms. Thambipillai: This letter is in response to Genentech, Inc.’s (Genentech) request that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issue an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for the emergency use of Actemra1 (tocilizumab) for the treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in certain hospitalized patients, as described in the Scope of Authorization (Section II) of this letter, pursuant to Section 564 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) (21 U.S.C. §360bbb-3). On February 4, 2020, pursuant to Section 564(b)(1)(C) of the Act, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) determined that there is a public health emergency that has a significant potential to affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad, and that involves the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).2 On the basis of such determination, the Secretary of HHS on March 27, 2020, declared that circumstances exist justifying the authorization of emergency use of drugs and biological products during the COVID-19 pandemic, pursuant to Section 564 of the Act (21 3 U.S.C. 360bbb-3), subject to terms of any authorization issued under that section. Actemra is a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively binds to both soluble and membrane-bound human IL-6 receptors (sIL-6R and mIL-6R) and subsequently inhibits IL- 6-mediated signaling through these receptors.

  • Challenges and Approaches for the Development of Safer Immunomodulatory Biologics
    REVIEWS Challenges and approaches for the development of safer immunomodulatory biologics Jean G. Sathish1*, Swaminathan Sethu1*, Marie-Christine Bielsky2, Lolke de Haan3, Neil S.

Kevin Park1 Abstract | Immunomodulatory biologics, which render their therapeutic effects by modulating or harnessing immune responses, have proven their therapeutic utility in several complex conditions including cancer and autoimmune diseases. However, unwanted adverse reactions — including serious infections, malignancy, cytokine release syndrome, anaphylaxis and hypersensitivity as well as immunogenicity — pose a challenge to the development of new (and safer) immunomodulatory biologics. In this article, we assess the safety issues associated with immunomodulatory biologics and discuss the current approaches for predicting and mitigating adverse reactions associated with their use. We also outline how these approaches can inform the development of safer immunomodulatory biologics. Immunomodulatory Biologics currently represent more than 30% of licensed The high specificity of the interactions of immu- biologics pharmaceutical products and have expanded the thera- nomodulatory biologics with their relevant immune Biotechnology-derived peutic options available
