We also discuss on initial human-dose and dose escalation, organ identification to suspect toxicity and evaluation items for monitoring upon considering physical half-lives, drug stabilities and accumulation into targeted cells. We also propose the selection method of TAT drug candidates which is satisfied with safety profile including delayed-type toxicities under our new evaluation system with histopathological examination. TAT-11, Ottawa Characteristics of Alpha Particle extremely High LET very Short Range Cell size: 10-100 mm α-particle Range: 40-90 mm Vessel β α LET: 100keV/mm Normal cells β-particle Range: 800-5000 mm LET: 0.8keV/mm Tumor cells TAT-11, Ottawa Strategy for Safety Evaluation at Preclinical Stage Problems to be solved 89Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan instead of 90Y- When stable isotope corresponding to alpha nuclide is existed, toxicity test is conducted by its labeled test compound. However, astatine 211At and actinium 225Ac do not have stable isotopes. Therefore, above mentioned strategy can not be applied. Extended single-dose toxicity test Alternative strategy Guidance for Exploratory IND studies 2006 Safety evaluation with alpha nuclides labeled compounds including histopathological evaluation allows us to evaluate the toxicities at cellular level in mice. Delayed toxicity and recovery are revealed to perform histopathological evaluation over a long duration (1 week or 1 month) after injection.

Hobbs, Prof. George Sgouros Microdosimetry study developed by Johns Hopkins University was applied to several alpha-particle-emitting radiopharmaceuticals. It was applied on Ra-223 dichloride (Xofigo) which was the first alpha-emitter radiopharmaceutical that has received approval for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer metastasized to bone. It was implemented in a new clinical trial for treatment of patients with bone metastases in renal cell carcinoma. This approach was also illustrated for the immune checkpoint inhibitor, PD-L1 antibody to investigate as a means of alpha-particle emitter delivery in a combined immunological and alpha-particle emitter targeting strategy.

  • 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.

  • Prescrire's Response
    World Health Organization Raffaella Balocco INN Programme Manager Quality Assurance & Safety : Medecines CH 1211 GENEVA 27 Switzerland Prescrire’s contribution to the WHO consultation on List 100 of Proposed INNs Prescrire is an independent continuing education journal for healthcare professionals. It is wholly funded by its subscribers, it carries no advertising and receives no other financial support whatsoever. As an active member of the Medicines in Europe Forum and the International Society of Drug Bulletins (ISDB), Prescrire has long been advocating the routine use, by both healthcare professionals and patients, of international nonproprietary names (INNs), which are clearer and therefore safer than brand names (1-4). Making INNs safer. The principles underlying the creation of INNs are the same that apply to the prevention of medication errors, namely standardization, differentiation, redundancy, and built-in logical controls. INNs make pharmaceutical substances easier to identify and are less frequently confused than brand names (5). However, even with the INN system there is a residual risk of confusion, partly owing to the sheer number of INNs now in circulation. A report from the Council of Europe, which recommends the use of INN, calls for active participation in public consultations on proposed INNs, within a 4-month period of the date of final adoption, in order to review proposed INNs from the perspective of in-use safety (6). Prescrire is participating in this phase of the survey and has now examined the List 100 of proposed INNs, published on 16 February 2009 (7). Our analysis of List 100 of Proposed INNs was based on the 2006 list of common stems and its updates, the INN database, and on a database of drugs marketed in France, which provides both brand names and corresponding INNs (8-10).

ADCs provide a unique opportunity to deliver drugs to tumor cells while minimizing toxicity to normal tissue, achieving wider therapeutic windows and enhanced pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic properties. To date, nine ADCs have been approved by the FDA and more than 80 ADCs are under clinical development worldwide. In this paper, we provide an overview of the biology and chemistry of each component of ADC design. We briefly discuss the clinical experience with approved ADCs and the various pathways involved in ADC resistance.
