Abstract

Detecting and characterizing of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) against a protein therapeutic are crucially important to monitor the unwanted immune response. Usually a multi-tiered approach that initially rapidly screens for positive samples that are subsequently confirmed in a separate assay is employed for testing of patient samples for ADA activity. In this manuscript we evaluate the ability of different methods used to classify subject with screening and competition based confirmatory assays. We find that for the overall performance of the multi-stage process the method used for confirmation is most important where a t-test is best when differences are moderate to large. Moreover we find that, when differences between positive and negative samples are not sufficiently large, using a competition based confirmation step does yield poor classification of positive samples.
