  • 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.

  • Ublituximab (TG-1101) in Combination with Umbralisib (TGR-1202) for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia NIHRIO (HSRIC) ID: 12230 NICE ID: 9540
    NIHR Innovation Observatory Evidence Briefing: SEPTEMBER 2017 Ublituximab (TG-1101) in combination with umbralisib (TGR-1202) for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia NIHRIO (HSRIC) ID: 12230 NICE ID: 9540 LAY SUMMARY Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is a type of blood cancer that develops inside the bone marrows. This produces abnormal types of white blood cells (lymphocytes) which do not function properly, hence, do not protect from infections the way they should do. Chronic types of leukaemia develop slowly over a long time. Symptoms of this cancer usually only develop at a later stage of the disease. They may include frequent infections, persistent tiredness, shortness of breath, pale skin, bleeding and bruising more easily and others. The cause of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia is not yet fully understood but risk factors may include age (older people), exposure to chemicals, family history, gender or ethnicity. Ublituximab in combination with umbralisib is under development for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and other types of blood cancers. They both act in different ways to suppress the production and growth of the abnormal lymphocytes caused by bindings to certain cells and proteins in the body that produces the cancer. If licensed, it will offer an additional treatment option for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. This briefing is based on information available at the time of research and a limited literature search. It is not intended to be a definitive statement on the safety, efficacy or effectiveness of the health technology covered and should not be used for commercial purposes or commissioning without additional information. This briefing presents independent research funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).

    Datamonitor Healthcare Trialtrove Biomedtracker Pharma intelligence | Pharma intelligence | Pharma intelligence | 2015 Post-ASH Report RACHEL MEIGHAN-MANTHA Principal Analyst, Citeline JOSEPH HEDDEN Senior Analyst, Datamonitor Healthcare Summary Profiled themes at the 57th Annual Meeting and Exposition of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), held December 5-8, 2015, in Orlando, Florida, included Genomic Profiling and Chemical Biology, Genome Editing and Gene Therapy, Epigenetic Mechanisms, Immunologic Treatments, Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine and Preventing Venous Thromboembolic Disease. This report will mainly focus on the theme of Immunologic Treatments because of the importance and popularity of immunotherapies for many different hematological cancers. Also covered in this report are the results from pivotal trials presented at ASH, as well as highlights from other drugs/therapies of interest. In addition, we felt it was important to cover first-in-human trials since (hopefully) some of these drugs/therapies will be in pivotal trials in a few years. At the end of the report, we’ve included a section showcasing drugs that had top- line results presented at ASH, followed by a list of other data presentations supplied by BioMedTracker (BMT). Accompanying links to BioMedTracker events along with changes to the drugs’ likelihood of approval (LOA) are also provided throughout the report. Finally, additional supplemental material related to ASH is listed in the Appendix. 2 Datamonitor Healthcare Trialtrove Biomedtracker

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.

The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder, who has granted bioRxiv a license to display the preprint in perpetuity. It is made available under aCC-BY 4.0 International license. Title: Looking for Therapeutic Antibodies in Next Generation Sequencing Repositories. Authors: Konrad Krawczyk1*, Matthew Raybould2, Aleksandr Kovaltsuk2, Charlotte M. Deane2 1 NaturalAntibody, Hamburg, Germany 2 Oxford University Department of Statistics, Oxford, UK *Correspondence to [email protected] Abstract: Recently it has become possible to query the great diversity of natural antibody repertoires using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS). These methods are capable of producing millions of sequences in a single experiment. Here we compare Clinical Stage Therapeutic antibodies to the ~1b sequences from 60 independent sequencing studies in the Observed Antibody Space Database. Of the 242 post Phase I antibodies, we find 16 with sequence identity matches of 95% or better for both heavy and light chains. There are also 54 perfect matches to therapeutic CDR-H3 regions in the NGS outputs, suggesting a nontrivial amount of convergence between naturally observed sequences and those developed artificially. This has potential implications for both the discovery of antibody therapeutics and the legal protection of commercial antibodies. Introduction Antibodies are proteins in jawed vertebrates that recognize noxious molecules (antigens) for elimination. An organism expresses millions of diverse antibodies to increase the chances that some of them will be able to bind the foreign antigen, initiating the adaptive immune response.

Kipps1 Abstract Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) is an oncoembryonic antigen. Because of its expression on the cell surface of leukemia cells from patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), but not on normal B-cells or other postpartum tissues, ROR1 is an attractive candidate for targeted therapies. UC-961 is a first-in-class humanized monoclonal antibody that binds the extracellular domain of ROR1. In this article we outline some of the preclinical studies leading to an investigational new drug designation, enabling clinical studies in patients with CLL.
