Immunogenicity assessment is a prerequisite for the successful de- t
i
c
velopment of biopharmaceuticals, including safety and efficacy eval- a
l
uation. Using advanced statistical methods in the study design and M Statistical
analysis stages is therefore essential to immunogenicity risk assess- e
t
ment and mitigation strategies. Statistical Methods for Immunoge- h Methods for
o
nicity Assessment provides a single source of information on sta- d
s
tistical concepts, principles, methods, and strategies for detection,
f Immunogenicity
o
quantification, assessment, and control of immunogenicity.

I
The book first gives an overview of the impact of immunogenicity on m Assessment
m
biopharmaceutical development, regulatory requirements, and sta-
u
tistical methods and strategies used for immunogenicity detection, n
o
quantification, and risk assessment and mitigation. It then covers g
e
anti-drug antibody (ADA) assay development, optimization, valida-
n
tion, and transfer as well as the analysis of cut point, a key assay ic
i
performance parameter in ADA assay development and validation. t
y
The authors illustrate how to apply statistical modeling approach- A
s
es to establish associations between ADA and clinical outcomes,
s
e
predict immunogenicity risk, and develop risk mitigation strategies.
s
s
They also present various strategies for immunogenicity risk control.
m
The book concludes with an explanation of the computer codes and e
n
algorithms of the statistical methods.
t
A critical issue in the development of biologics, immunogenicity can
Y
cause early termination or limited use of the products if not managed a
n
well. This book shows how to use robust statistical methods for de- g
•
tecting, quantifying, assessing, and mitigating immunogenicity risk.
Z
It is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in immunogenicity h
a
n
risk assessment and control in both non-clinical and clinical biophar- g
•
maceutical development.
