Some types of immunotherapy of malignant tumours are aimed at restoration of T-cells’ ability to recognize and eliminate cancer. Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) overexpression is characteristic of many human tumours and is associated with poor prognosis for patients. The development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) specific for PD-L1 or PD-1 is a promising area of immunotherapy of malignant tumours. However, before a therapeutic antibody-based product enters the market, it is necessary to ensure its safety and efficacy, i.e. perform a full scope of preclinical and clinical studies.The aim of the study was to develop and validate a bioanalytical method that does not require additional labeling and that could be used for determination of mAbs specific for human PD-L1 in the blood serum of a biological test system during preclinical studies.Materials and methods: an antigen in the form of a dimer of PD-1 extra-cellular domain covalently bonded to the Fc-fragment of human IgG (R&D Systems, USA) was used in the study. The antigen was immobilised on Dip and Read™ Protein A biosensors (Fortebio, USA). The therapeutic anti-PD-1 antibody GNR-051 was developed and produced by IBC “Generium” (Russia). The healthy cynomolgus monkey serum samples used as matrix were obtained from the Research Institute of Medical Primatology (Sochi, Russia). The assessment of binding was performed using Octet® QKe interferometer (Fortebio, USA) by real-time analysis of the dose-dependent rate of the antigen-antibody complex formation.Results: the paper presents experimental data on the development and validation of the test method for determination of the therapeutic PD-1-binding mAb concentration in cynomolgus monkey serum in the antibody concentration range from 2 to 2500 µg/mL. The authors assessed the calibration curve reliability, between-run and within-run precision and accuracy, dilution linearity, specificity and selectivity of the test method.Conclusions: the authors developed and validated the biolayer interferometry-based method for determination of therapeutic mAbs concentration. The method was shown to comply with the Eurasian Economic Union’s regulatory requirements in terms of the main validation parameters: analytical range, accuracy, precision, and selectivity.

Background: Conivaptan inhibits two of vasopressin receptor (vasopressin receptor V1a and V2). Conivaptan is used for the treatment of hyponatremia, and in some instances, for the treatment of the heart failure. Methods: The present study aimed to develop a simple, sensitive, and accurate HPLC with ultraviolet detection for the assay of conivaptan (CON) in mouse plasma using bisoprolol as internal standard (IS). A precipitation procedure was used to extract CON and the IS from the mouse plasma. CON was chromatographically separated using a C18 analytical column at 25°C. The separation was carried out using a mixture of phosphate buffer (50 mM): acetonitrile (60: 40, v/v, pH 4.5) with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and detection was performed at 240 nm. Results: The assay was validated according to the US Food and Drug (FDA) guidelines. The method demonstrated linearity over a concentration range of 150 - 2000 ng/mL (correlation coefficient: r 2 = 0.9985). The mean recovery of CON from the mouse plasma was 101.13%. All validation parameters for CON were within the acceptable range. Conclusion: The investigated method has been shown to be suitable for estimating the CON in plasma samples, and this method is sensitive and highly selective, allowing the estimation of its concentrations up to the nano-scale. The suggested method was successfully used in a pharmacokinetic study of CON in mouse plasma.

Abstract Background and Aims Analysis of serum or plasma from patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN) has confirmed the presence of elevated levels of circulating immune complexes containing Gd-IgA1 (Czerkinsky 1986). New sensitive and reasonably specific noninvasive tests are emerging to guide the therapeutic strategy that is applicable to all stages of IgAN (Suzuki 2014). Here we are reporting the fit for purpose validation of an ELISA method for the quantitative determination of Gd-IgA1 in human serum samples to support biomarker investigations in clinical studies of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt. Method The assay was developed based on a commercially available immunoassay kit. The dynamic range of the calibration curve was determined from 1.56 ng/mL (LLOQ) to 100 ng/mL (ULOQ). With a minimum required dilution of 200-fold and standard assay volume of 50.0 μL, the range of the method in matrix was from 312 ng/mL to 20, 000 ng/mL. In assay validation phase, multiple validation parameters were evaluated, which included minimum required dilution (MRD), calibration curve, matrix effect, Intra- & Inter run accuracy & precision, selectivity, and parallelism. Additional validation parameters include sample stability (short/long term, freeze-thaw) and batch-to-batch comparison. Results All samples measured for intra & Inter - assay precision, accuracy, fulfilled the specifications according to the acceptance criteria. The selectivity was assessed using blank serum matrix from 10 individuals: the result indicated that matrix components in serum did not interfere with the detection of Gd-IgA1. Parallelism assessment was performed successfully for both samples from healthy donors and IgAN patient samples up to dilution factor (DF) 3200 (serum samples from healthy donors were determined up to DF 1600). All DF-corrected results within the assay range were determined with %CV ≤ 30.0%. Batch to batch comparison was assessed successfully based on the known shelf life of the kit. Short term stability using QC samples were given for up to 24hrs at room temperature. Freeze-thaw stability was given for up to 3 cycles at -20°C±5°C and -75°C±15°C. The investigations were performed according to general guidelines for method validation and applicable regulations. The results of investigated validation parameters fulfilled the requirements and recommendations, generally accepted for bioanalytical projects. Conclusion The present validation qualified the method for the quantitative determination of Gd-IgA1 in human serum samples from clinical studies.
