From Discovery to Clinic: Immunogenicity Risk Assessment in Autoimmune Disease Biologics

The development and use of biotherapeutics in autoimmune diseases have revolutionized treatment paradigms, offering targeted interventions with the potential for improved patient outcomes. However, the immunogenicity of these biologics remains a critical challenge, as anti-drug antibody (ADA) responses can affect therapeutic efficacy and safety. 

This presentation will explore the strategies for assessing immunogenicity risk in biotherapeutics used for autoimmune diseases, emphasizing the importance of early and thorough evaluation, underscoring the necessity for tailored strategies to enhance drug safety and efficacy.
