Biologic Therapeutics Development, Part 2: Regulatory Pathways and Pharmacometric Analysis

Camargo

The development of biological products (or biologics) represents a major advancement in modern medicine, enabling the treatment of patients with many illnesses where no other therapeutics were previously available. One common characteristic for most if not all biologics is the triggering of an immune response or anti-drug antibodies.

Using bispecific antibodies to advance cancer immunotherapy

pharmaphorum

Dr Laura Moriarty, senior marketing manager at Bio-Rad, looks at the impressive immuno-therapeutic potential of bispecific antibodies (bsAbs). Though their bispecific nature complicates large-scale production and purification workflows, with challenges such as antibody chain mispairing, bsAbs have come a long way since first developed.
