Evaluation of the immunogenicity of the dabigatran reversal agent idarucizumab during Phase I studies

摘要

AimsIdarucizumab, a humanized monoclonal anti-dabigatran antibody fragment, is effective in emergency reversal of dabigatran anticoagulation. Pre-existing and treatment-emergent anti-idarucizumab antibodies (antidrug antibodies; ADA) may affect the safety and efficacy of idarucizumab. This analysis characterized the pre-existing and treatment-emergent ADA and assessed their impact on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of idarucizumab.
