1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundCommonly, ligand-binding platforms are being used for immunogenicity assessment, but with the recent advent of liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for protein quantification, this technology has become an alternative for the measurement of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs), when combined with an immunocapture step to extract them out of the biological sample.

methodThe monoclonal antibody adalimumab was immobilized on magnetic beads to isolate ADAs against this drug from serum samples. Multiple repetitions of immunopurification were used to minimize nonspecific binding and improve drug tolerance while maintaining sufficient recovery. A subsequent tryptic digestion released peptides, from which unique peptide sequences, originating from the constant region of seven ADA subclasses, were selected. These were then analyzed by LC-MS/MS against (unextracted) subclass-specific reference standards for semi-quantification.

resultsWith two immunocapture and two immunopurification steps, the method simultaneously measures the ADA subclasses IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM, IgE and IgA within their relevant ranges, with good repeatability and drug tolerance, and limited interference of endogenous immunoglobulins. The method was successfully applied for the analysis of serum samples of subjects dosed with adalimumab.

conclusionHybrid LBA-LC-MS/MS is a viable platform for measuring ADAs and adds value, especially when ADA isotyping is needed.
