Autoimmune Diseases:
Opportunities for Life-Changing Developments
Autoimmune diseases are chronic and debilitating conditions which are caused by an immune-mediated self-destruction of tissues or organs. The causes are not fully understood but the clinical impact is significant. Diseases and syndromes such as rheumatoid arthritis, Graves’ Disease, or systemic lupus erythematosus are some of the most prominent examples for these pathological findings. Until recently, their symptomatic treatment was mostly based on immune suppressive small drugs. However, novel treatment options are evolving rapidly for this class of diseases. Beyond TNF-alpha inhibition, there are a number of promising biological therapies in the pipeline that are designed to modify the immune response. Moreover, there are drug candidates which may be curative or may prevent the immune hyperactivity.
Because autoimmune diseases are characterized by polyclonal immune stimulation, these disease entities are more prone to immune responses against biological drugs. Particular care should be taken when assessing the immunogenicity of biological drugs. For instance, anti-drug antibodies may not only lead to a loss or reduction of efficacy, but also to an unobserved clinical latent progression of the autoimmune disease. In addition to measuring ADA and NAb, controlling the PK and the analysis of specific biomarkers are extremely important to monitoring patients. Hence, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies involved in autoimmune drug development will need an effective CRO partner, that has significant bioanalytical and clinical expertise and knowledge in this complex space, to ensure the highest quality results.
