BACKGROUND [0033] Anti-TNFα (Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) antibodies are novel biologics that may be used for the treatment of various diseases. One hurdle to the development and implementation of anti- TNFα antibodies as a treatment is the potential for a subject administered such anti-TNFα antibodies to exhibit an immune response against them. A subject’s immunogenicity toward the anti-TNFα antibodies, particularly the subject’s development of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) that bind the anti- TNFα antibody, would thereby reduce efficacy of the anti-TNFα antibody to treat the subject’s disease. To advance the development of treatments that use anti-TNFα antibodies, there is need for assays that reliably determine the presence of ADAs and amounts thereof in subjects receiving or having been administered the anti-TNFα antibody. Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0034] FIG.1 shows a flow diagram of an example method according to the present technology. [0035] FIGS.2A and 2B show normality of a set of values of percent inhibition that were tested according to the Shapiro-Wilk W Test in an example screening and titration data normality test (FIG. 2A) and in an example confirmatory data normality test (FIG. 2B) according to the methods of the present technology. DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0036] The present technology comprises methods for detecting an anti-drug antibody (ADA) against a target antibody. The target antibody may comprise an anti-TNFα antibody.

[0037] While the present technology is capable of being embodied in various forms, the description below of several embodiments is made with the understanding that the present technology is to be considered as an exemplification of the technology and is not intended to limit the present technology to the specific embodiments illustrated. Headings are provided for convenience only and are not to be construed to limit the present technology in any manner. Embodiments illustrated under any heading may be combined with embodiments illustrated under any other heading. [0038] The use of numerical values in the various quantitative values specified in this application, unless expressly indicated otherwise, are stated as approximations as though the minimum and maximum values within the stated ranges were both preceded by the word "about." It is to be understood, although not always explicitly stated, that all numerical designations are preceded by the term "about." It is to be understood that such range format is used for convenience and brevity Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 and should be understood flexibly to include numerical values explicitly specified as limits of a range, but also to include all individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range, as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly specified. For example, a ratio in the range of about 1 to about 200 should be understood to include the explicitly recited limits of about 1 and about 200, but also to include individual ratios, such as about 2, about 3, and about 4, and sub-ranges, such as about 10 to about 50, about 20 to about 100, and so forth. It also is to be understood, although not always explicitly stated, that the reagents described herein are merely exemplary and that equivalents of such are known in the art. [0039] To the extent any materials incorporated by reference herein conflict with the present technology, the present technology controls. Definitions [0040] The term "about," as used herein when referring to a measurable value, such as an amount or concentration and the like, is meant to encompass variations of 20%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 0.5%, or even 0.1% of the specified amount. [0041] As used herein, an “affinity antibody” comprises an anti-TNFα antibody. In some embodiments, the affinity antibody comprises the target antibody. The affinity antibody may also comprise an affinity label that has a high affinity with a separate label. For example, the affinity label may be a first affinity label (i.e., biotin) that has a high affinity with a second affinity label (i.e., streptavidin). In some embodiments, the affinity antibody comprises an anti-TNFα antibody and an affinity label. In some embodiments, the affinity antibody comprises the target antibody and an affinity label. [0042] As used herein, a “detection antibody” comprises a TNFα antibody. In some embodiments, the detection antibody comprises the target antibody. The detection antibody may also comprise a detection label that may be directly or indirectly detected. In some embodiments, the detection antibody comprises an anti-TNFα antibody and a detection label. In some embodiments, the detection antibody comprises the target antibody and a detection label. [0043] In some embodiments, the method for detecting an ADA that binds the target antibody in a sample comprises: (i) contacting a sample with one or more anti-TNFα conjugates to form a complex between the ADA and the anti-TNFα conjugates; and (ii) measuring a level of anti-TNFα Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 conjugates in the complex; wherein the method detects the ADA with a sensitivity less than 5ng/mL. In some embodiments, the one or more anti-TNFα conjugates comprise a detection antibody. In some embodiments, measuring a level of anti-TNFα conjugates comprises measuring the level of the detection label. In some embodiments, the one or more anti-TNFα conjugates comprise an affinity antibody. [0044] As used herein, a “screening assay” generally refers to a method of detecting an ADA that binds the target antibody. For example, a screening assay includes a method of detecting an ADA that binds a target antibody comprising: (i) incubating the sample with a composition comprising: (a) an anti-TNFα antibody conjugated to a first affinity label (affinity antibody), and (b) an anti-TNFα antibody conjugated to a detection label (detection antibody); (ii) isolating ADAs that form a complex with both the affinity antibody and the detection antibody, wherein the ADA is isolated by contacting the complex with a second affinity label that binds to the first affinity label; and (iii) detecting the ADA by measuring a level of the detection label above a predetermined cut-point. A screening assay may also include a method of detecting an ADA comprising: (i) contacting a sample with one or more anti-TNFα conjugates to form a complex between the ADA and the anti-TNFα conjugates; and (ii) measuring a level of anti-TNFα conjugates in the complex; wherein the method detects the ADA with a sensitivity less than 5ng/mL. [0045] In some embodiments, measuring the level of the detection label comprises contacting the solid phase with a marker configured to produce a chemiluminescent or electrochemiluminescent (ECL) signal when the marker is proximal to the detection label and detecting the chemiluminescent or ECL signal. As used herein, the marker is “proximal” to the detection label when the marker is at a distance from the detection label that is small enough to cause a reaction that produces a chemiluminescent or ECL signal. In some embodiments, the ECL is produced when the marker is proximal to the detection label and an electrode. [0046] The sample may be a sample obtained from a mammal, including human, rat, mouse, rabbit, or other animal. In some embodiments, the sample is a blood, plasma, or serum sample. In some embodiments, the sample is plasma. In some embodiments, the sample is serum. In some embodiments, the sample is pre-processed before the ADA is detected according to the methods of the present technology. As used herein, “pre-processing” includes extracting tissue from a subject and Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 identifying the sample (e.g., drawing a blood sample and identifying or isolating a plasma or serum sample, or separating the blood sample into the plasma sample and/or the serum sample). Anti-Drug Antibodies (ADAs) [0047] During or after administration of a drug (e.g., a therapeutic drug) to a subject, the subject’s immune system may respond by generating anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). ADAs may bind at least a portion of the drug, thereby sequestering, neutralizing, and/or reducing efficacy of the drug. [0048] ADAs may be naturally produced as part of a subject’s innate immune response. The ADA may be a natural antibody produced by the subject, for example by lymphocytes using variable (diversity) joining (V(D)J) recombination. For example, the ADA may be an immunoglobulin. In some embodiments, the ADA is an IgG, IgA, IgE, monoclonal antibody, polyclonal antibody, or any other kind of antibody that is capable of binding to the target antibody. Target Antibodies [0049] During or after administration of a drug (i.e., a therapeutic drug), ADAs which bind at least a portion of the drug may develop. In some embodiments, the drug comprises antibodies, and, when ADAs develop, the ADAs may bind the drug antibodies. In some embodiments, the drug antibodies comprise an anti-TNFα antibody. [0050] Presence of ADAs and/or binding of ADAs to the drug antibodies may be detected using antibodies which are the same as or mimic the drug antibodies (i.e., “target antibodies”). In some embodiments, the target antibodies comprise one or more anti-TNFα antibodies. The anti-TNFα antibodies are antibodies which bind at least a portion of a TNFα protein or peptide. [0051] In some embodiments, the target antibodies comprise a monoclonal antibody. [0052] In some embodiments, the target antibodies of the present technology are chimeric antibodies. Nonlimiting examples of chimeric antibodies include human-murine antibodies, human- rat antibodies, human-hamster antibodies, human-rabbit antibodies, human-bovine antibodies, and human-goat antibodies. In some embodiments, the chimeric antibodies comprise a humanized antibody (e.g., a full humanized antibody or a partially humanized antibody). [0053] In some embodiments, the target antibodies (e.g., anti-TNFα antibodies) of the present technology may comprise an isotype that influences functional properties and/or structural features Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 of the antibody. In some embodiments the target antibodies comprise an isotype selected from the group consisting of IgG (e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4), IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. The light chain may comprise isotype kappa (ĸ) or isotype lambda (λ). In some embodiments, the target antibody comprises an IgG1-kappa antibody.

Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 [0191] In some embodiments, the method of confirming that an ADA compound binds a target antibody comprises: (i) incubating the sample with a composition comprising: an affinity antibody, a detection antibody, and an unlabeled antibody; (ii) isolating ADAs that form a complex with both the affinity antibody and the detection antibody and/or unlabeled antibody, wherein the ADA is isolated by contacting the complex with a second affinity label that binds to the first affinity label; and (iii) confirming the ADA by measuring a level of the detection label that is lower by a predetermined factor than the level of the detection label when the unlabeled antibody is not present. [0192] In some embodiments, the unlabeled antibody will be present at an excess concentration in the composition. For example, the excess concentration of the unlabeled antibody may be about 150µg/mL or more, about 175µg/mL or more, about 200µg/mL or more, or about 250µg/mL or more. In some embodiments, the excess concentration of the unlabeled antibody may be about 200µg/mL or more. [0193] In some embodiments, the excess concentration of the unlabeled antibody may be at least 150µg/mL or more, at least 175µg/mL or more, at least 200µg/mL or more, or at least 250µg/mL or more. In some embodiments, the excess concentration of the unlabeled antibody may be at least 200µg/mL or more. [0194] In some embodiments, the excess concentration of the unlabeled antibody may be at least about 150µg/mL or more, at least about 175µg/mL or more, at least about 200µg/mL or more, or at least about 250µg/mL or more. In some embodiments, the excess concentration of the unlabeled antibody may be at least about 200µg/mL or more. [0195] In some embodiments, ADA is confirmed in a sample by measuring a level of the detection label that is lower by a predetermined factor of about 10% or more, about 12% or more, about 14% or more, about 16% or more, about 18% or more, or about 20% or more than the level of the detection label when the unlabeled antibody is not present. In some embodiments, the predetermined factor is about 16% or more. [0196] In some embodiments, ADA is confirmed in a sample by measuring a level of the detection label that is lower by a predetermined factor of at least 10% or more, at least 12% or more, at least 14% or more, at least 16% or more, at least 18% or more, or at least 20% or more than the Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 level of the detection label when the unlabeled antibody is not present. In some embodiments, the predetermined factor is at least 16% or more. [0197] In some embodiments, ADA is confirmed in a sample by measuring a level of the detection label that is lower by a predetermined factor of at least about 10% or more, at least about 12% or more, at least about 14% or more, at least about 16% or more, at least about 18% or more, or at least about 20% or more than the level of the detection label when the unlabeled antibody is not present. In some embodiments, the predetermined factor is at least about 16% or more. [0198] In some embodiments, the level of the detection label when the unlabeled antibody is not present is above the pre-determined cut-point. [0199] In some embodiments, the method of confirming that an ADA compound binds a target antibody comprises: (i) incubating the sample with a composition comprising: an affinity antibody, a detection antibody, and an unlabeled antibody; (ii) providing a solid phase comprising a second affinity label, wherein the second affinity label is configured to bind to the first affinity label; (iii) contacting the sample and the composition with the solid phase; (iv) washing the solid phase; and (v) confirming the ADA by measuring a level of the detection label that is lower by a predetermined factor than the level of the detection label when the unlabeled antibody is not present. [0200] The methods of the present technology may further comprises steps for assessing one or more of hook effects, assay selectivity, drug tolerance, intra-assay precision, inter-assay precision, and sample, control, and/or antibody stability. [0201] The hook (prozone) effect is a phenomenon in which the signal of the assay changes from increasing to decreasing when the ADA concentration increases. The hook effect may not be critical to ADA detection if all concentrations of positive antibody yield positive results. [0202] Stability assessments may comprise quantifying the ability of the methods to detect ADAs in the presence of other matrix components. [0203] Drug tolerance assessments may comprise evaluating the ability of the methods to correctly detect ADAs. The presence of drug antibodies in samples may interfere with the detection of ADAs. Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 [0204] Stability assessments may comprise assessing positive controls. Positive controls may be assessed, for example, in a biological sample such as human serum. The ADAs of the present technology may be stable for up to six freeze/thaw cycles from about -70°C (nominal) to ambient temperature and may be stable for up to about 24.5 hours at ambient surroundings.

EXAMPLE 1: Methods for detecting ADAs in a subject by an ECL assay and methods of validating the same [0244] Overview: FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary method (method 100) for detecting an ADA that binds the target antibody in a sample. Method 100 may be used for immunogenicity assessments of various antibodies, including, but not limited to, anti-TNFα antibodies. Method 100 comprises: (i) incubating the sample with a composition comprising: (a) an anti-TNFα antibody conjugated to a first affinity label (affinity antibody), and (b) an anti-TNFα antibody conjugated to a detection label (detection antibody) 110; (ii) isolating ADAs that form a complex with both the affinity antibody and the detection antibody, wherein the ADA is isolated by contacting the complex with a second affinity label that binds to the first affinity label 120; and (iii) detecting the ADA by measuring a level of the detection label above a predetermined cut-point 130. Isolating the ADAs may comprise: (a) providing a solid phase comprising the second affinity label; (b) contacting the sample and the composition with the solid phase; and (c) washing the solid phase. Validation Summary: To support an immunogenicity assessment of XTMAB-16 in human samples, methods of detecting antibodies in human serum samples were assessed. [0245] An MSD streptavidin plate was blocked to prevent non-specific antibody binding. The control and experimental samples were incubated with Bio-XTMAB-16 and transferred to the blocked MSD streptavidin plate. Following incubation, the plate was washed and then incubated with Ru-XTMAB-16. After Ru-XTMAB-16 incubation, the MSD streptavidin plate was washed again and read with plate reader (MSD Sector Imager S600). Screening, confirmatory, and titration steps were also incorporated into the validation methods. [0246] Screening methods were used to detect potentially positive ADAs to XTMAB-16 in human serum samples. Confirmatory methods were used to determine whether the potential ADA- Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 positive samples were specific to XTMAB-16. Titration methods were used to provide an estimate of ADA levels in human serum samples that were confirmed to be positive for antibodies to XTMAB- 16. [0247] Materials: The validation methods used the reagents and controls listed in Table 2 Table 2: Reagents and controls in ECL validation Reagent Storage Condition

[0248] Negative Controls: A pooled lot of pNHS was prepared by pooling together equal volumes of 40 lots of iNHS (29 male lots and 11 female lots). [0249] High and Low Positive Controls: An ECL assay was validated for detection of anti- XTMAB-16 antibodies in human serum and to determine whether potentially ADA-positive samples were specific to anti-XTMAB-16. A titration method was incorporated to provide a quasi-quantitative estimate of ADA level in human serum samples that were confirmed as positive for having anti- XTMAB-16. Preparation of positive controls is further detailed in Table 3. Table 3: Preparation of Positive Controls ADA ADA Stock NC Total Resulting Resulting n

[0250] Reagent Preparation: The validation PCs were prepared by adding the anti-XTMAB- 16 antibody to the pNHS at high (4,000.0ng/mL) and low (9.70ng/mL) concentrations for HPC and LPC, respectively. [0251] Reagents were prepared, including MSD 2X Read Buffer (4x MSD Read Buffer diluted with diH2O), Wash Buffer (1x PBS with 0.05% Tween-20), Blocking Buffer (Protein-Free), Assay Buffer (NGBI), and XTMAB-16 Drug Stock Solution (XTMAB-16 dissolved in PBS to 10mg/mL). Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 [0252] QC preparation included preparation of an NC (pNHS made from at least 40 individual lots) and LPC and HPC positive controls. HPC concentration was 4,000ng/mL and the LPC final concentration was prepared at a 99.9% confidence interval. [0253] Establishment of LPC Concentration: The LPC concentration was calculated in both screening and confirmatory assay using the mean of the corresponding sensitivity + t0.99, df X SD (sensitivity). The final LPC concentration was the higher LPC concentration between the screening LPC and the confirmatory LPC. Each sensitivity will be obtained from a separate sensitivity run. The screening sensitivity concentration will be interpolated from the screening sensitivity curve at the SCP. The confirmatory sensitivity concentration will be interpolated from the confirmatory sensitivity curve at the CCP. Once the LPC has been finalized, at least two sets of LPCs and HPCs and at least four sets of NCs will be included as plate controls in each run. [0254] System Suitability Criteria: System suitability will be assessed from all accepted validation runs (except the robustness run and the long-term stability run, if any) to set up assay acceptance ranges for the NC, LPC, and HPC. The control ranges will be set using the response values of NC, LPC, and HPC, as detailed below. [0255] Examples of control range calculations: [0256] Upper limit of NC = Mean of NC responses + 3xSD of NC responses [0257] LPC range = Mean of LPC responses ± 3xSD of LPC responses [0258] Lower limit of HPC = Mean of HPC responses - 3xSD of HPC responses [0259] In cut-point and sensitivity runs, at least 50% of each level of HPC must have %CV of the replicates ≤ 20.0%. [0260] After LPC concentration is finalized, at least 50% of each level of plate controls must have: %CV of ≤ 20.0%. [0261] The relationship of the accepted control samples should be as follows: [0262] For screening and titration assays, the mean ECL: NC < SCP (if applicable) ≤ LPC (if applicable) < HPC [0263] For confirmatory assay, the %inhibition: NC < CCP (if applicable) ≤ LPC (if applicable) and HPC. Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 [0264] To accept a run, at least 50% of each level of control samples and at least 66.7% of total control samples should meet the above criteria. [0265] Screening Assay Plate Control Acceptance Criteria: For the screening assay, the CV of each plate control was 20.0% or less, and plate controls were present in duplicates. The plate NC was considered the mean of all accepted NCs, and %CV failure and outliers were excluded. The relationship of accepted control samples in the screening assays were mean response (ECL): NC < SCP ≤ LPC < HPC, and the ECL was within the range established during validation: [0266] NC: ECL mean ≤ 158.8; LPC: 95.5 ≤ ECL mean ≤ 156.1; HPC: 4761.7 ≤ ECL mean. [0267] The S-CPF was 1.10, and the plate-specific SCP was the value calculated from the NC multiplied by the S-CPF. [0268] Confirmatory Assay Plate Control Acceptance Criteria: For the confirmatory assay, the CV of each plate control was 20.0% or less, and plate controls were present in duplicates. The relationship of the accepted control samples were %inhibition: NC < CCP ≤ LPC and HPC. Plate NC was the mean of all accepted NCs, and %CV failure and outliers were excluded. The CCP was 16.45% in the presence of XTMAB-16, and %inhibition was calculated by the following formula: [0269] %inhibition = 100*(1-[Mean ECL of spiked samples/Mean ECL of unspiked samples]) [0270] Titration Assay Plate Control Acceptance Criteria: For the titration assay, the CV of each plate control was 20.0% or less, and plate controls were present in duplicates. The plate NC was considered the mean of all accepted NCs, and %CV failure and outliers were excluded. The relationship of accepted control samples in the titration assays were mean response (ECL): NC < SCP ≤ LPC < HPC, and the ECL was within the range established during validation: [0271] NC: ECL mean ≤ 158.8; LPC: 95.5 ≤ ECL mean ≤ 156.1; HPC: 4761.7 ≤ ECL mean. [0272] Titer control was 25600 ≤ titer for XTMAB-16 ADA PC at 4,000mg/mL ≤ 102,400. [0273] The T-CPF was 1.20, and the plate-specific TCP was calculated by multiplying the T- CPF by the plate NC. [0274] Screening Assay Sample Acceptance Criteria: The mean ECL values for screening samples had a %CV of 20.0% or less. Samples with mean ECL values ≥ plate-specific SCP were Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 classified as potentially positive. Samples with mean ECL values less than the plate-specific SCP were classified as negative. [0275] Confirmatory Assay Sample Acceptance Criteria: The mean ECL values for confirmatory samples had a %CV of 20.0% or less. Samples were classified as positive for anti- XTMAB-16 antibodies if the following conditions were met: (1) the mean ECL for the sample in the screening assay was ≥ plate-specific SCP and (2) the %inhibition in the confirmatory assay was ≥ CCP. Samples were classified as negative for anti-XTMAB-16 antibodies if any of the following conditions were met: (1) the mean ECL in the screening assay < plate-specific SCP and (2) the %inhibition in the confirmatory assay < CCP. [0276] Titration Assay Sample Acceptance Criteria: The titer of undiluted samples with an ECL below plate TCP were reported as MRD. The titer of undiluted samples with an ECL above the TCP, but where the first dilution (minimum dilution) had an ECL below the plate TCP, were reported as MRD. For samples with at least one dilution that reaches an ECL below the TCP, the diluted sample must have at least two dilutions spanning the TCP with a %CV ≤ 20.0%. [0277] The titer of a diluted sample with ECL above the plate-specific TCP was considered the dilution factor of the last dilution sample with ECL above the plate-specific TCP. [0278] Determination of Cut-Point: SCP: The ECL signal of each individual sample was normalized by the plate NC (expressed as S/N). The data was then log-transformed. After outlier removal, normality test was performed on the data using JMP. The S-CPF was calculated based on 5% false-positive rate using the equation below based on the data distribution. [0279] S-CPF = “Mean + 1.645xSD” (if data normally distributed) or “95th percentile” (if data not normally distributed) [0280] A plate-specific SCP will be calculated using the following formula: [0281] SCP = Mean NC ECL values in a plate * S-CPF [0282] CCP: CCP was defined by the inhibition rate from individual samples with and without spiking reference drug. The %inhibition and CCP, using a 1% false-positive rate, are calculated using the equation below based on the data distribution by JMP. [0283] %inhibition = 100 * (ECL without drug — ECL with drug) / ECL without drug Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 [0284] CCP = “Mean %inhibition + 2.33 * SD %inhibition” (if data normally distributed) or “99th Percentile” (if data not normally distributed) [0285] TCP: T-CPF will be calculated using the S-CPF normalized data. T-CPF will be calculated based on 0.1% false-positive rate using the equation below based on the data distribution. T-CPF will be reported to two decimal places. [0286] T-CPF = “Mean + 3.09 x SD” (if data normally distributed) or “99.9th percentile” (if data not normally distributed) [0287] Plate TCP = Mean NC ECL values in a plate * T-CPF [0288] Experimental design and target specifications for determining cut-point are outlined in Table 4.

Various drug concentrations were spiked into matrix samples containing various concentrations of positive control antibodies. [0296] Drug tolerance limit may be defined as the highest level of drug in the presence of which ADA is still detected. ADA PC at 100ng/mL and LPC level will be tested. The highest drug concentration that retains a positive response in the screening assay for each ADA level tested will be defined as the drug tolerance level of the screening assay.

and Discovery Workbench Software Version 4.0. %CV, SD, and %inhibition were each calculated. Statistical evaluation of cut-point factors was conducted using JMP software. [0299] Assay Performance Characteristics: All samples and controls, including two sets of LPC and HPC and at least four sets of NC, were evaluated in duplicate. The text file imported from the MSD Sector Imager S600 was used as the source data for analysis and verified against the screen capture of the original data. The source data was processed in Microsoft Excel to calculate mean of ECL values, %CV, and %inhibition. The S-CPF, T-CPF, and CCPs were calculated using JMP 14 statistical software. All mean duplicate or quadruplicate ECL values were assessed in the analysis. [0300] Failed tests: Plate control testing resulting in failed runs was repeated twice. If the repeated run failed again and failure was not due to the experimental error, the method was investigated and the method was revised or reoptimized with runs repeated, where necessary. EXAMPLE 2: Validation of method of detecting ADAs in serum samples using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay [0301] Cut-Point Determination: To determine the screening, confirmatory, and titration assay cut-point factors for the detection of anti-XTMAB-16 antibodies, two serum samples from 54 lots of naïve male and female human serum were tested over five days. Each sample was tested six times across 18 individual runs. Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 [0302] Cut-point statistical outliers were determined using quantile range outlier’s method, and identified outliers were removed. Cut-point normality values were tested by Shapiro-Wilk W Test using JMP software. [0303] For each run, the mean ECL signal of each individual serum sample was normalized using the mean ECL of a plate NC. The normalized ECL (rECL) was log-transformed. Examples of data analyzed according to the present technology are shown in Tables 12-14, for example. Table 12 shows raw data from one run of samples that were tested according to the methods of the present technology. Table 13 shows raw data for S-CPF and T-CPF for the runs in Table 12.

[0304] Analytical outliers were identified using box-plot analysis on the normalized and log- transformed serum values (Table 15). Biological outliers were identified and excluded from analysis, and the normalized and log-transformed data for each individual serum sample was averaged across the six determinations, if available. Box-plot analysis was then performed to identify biological outliers (Table 16). Examples of the outliers analyzed are shown in Tables 15-17, for example. Tables 15, 16, 18, and 19 show examples of the analytical and biological outlier identification from the lots assessed in Tables 12-14.

[0313] Sensitivity: The screening assay sensitivity was evaluated six times, in pooled human serum (three times) and three individual lots of human serum (one time for each lot). Each sample was spiked with anti-XTMAB-16 antibodies PC. Serial two-fold dilutions of the spiked samples (from Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 4,000ng/mL to 0.49ng/mL) in pNHS and individual mouse serum (iNMS) were performed. The screening sensitivity was determined for each sensitivity set using Microsoft Excel Forecast, by interpolation at the SCP (5% false-positive). The final assay sensitivity in screening assay is the mean of calculated concentration among all the qualified curves. The results showed that the screening sensitivity of the assay to detect anti-XTMAB-16 antibodies was 2.77ng/mL in human serum. An example of this result is shown in Table 29.

[0315] The sensitivity data was also used to determine the LPC of the assay. The LPC is based on the sensitivity with a 1% false-positive rate, which was calculated in both screening and confirmatory assays using the mean of the Sensitivity + t0.99, df × SD (Sensitivity). The LPC concentration was 6.80 and 9.70ng/mL for screening and confirmatory assay, respectively. Results are detailed in Table 31. The calculated LPC concentration is the higher LPC between the screening assay and the confirmatory assay, which is 9.70ng/mL.

The hook effect may not be critical to ADA detection if all concentrations of positive antibody yield positive results. The hook effect was assessed using a sample with an ultra-high concentration of anti- XTMAB-16 antibodies in pNHS (32,000ng/mL), which was prepared by spiking ADA PC into pooled serum and freezing for at least 12 hours. The sample was then serially two-fold diluted to a concentration below the plate-specific TCP. All samples with a concentration of 7.81ng/mL anti- Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 XTMAB-16 antibodies or greater demonstrated a positive ECL value as compared to the plate- specific TCP, indicating that no prozone effect was observed.

[0317] Selectivity: Selectivity is the ability of the assay to detect anti-XTMAB-16 antibodies in the presence of other matrix components. ADA unspiked and spiked samples at LPC level (9.70ng/mL) were prepared from 10 lots of normal human serum, 10 lots of disease human serum, 3 lots of hemolyzed human serum, and 3 lots of lipemic human serum that originally tested in 4 runs with both screening and confirmatory assay. For individual lots of normal human serum, 9 out of 10 unspiked samples (90%) were confirmed as negative, while 9 out of 10 spiked LPC samples (90%) were confirmed as positive. For individual lots of disease human serum, 10 out of 10 unspiked samples (100%) were confirmed as negative, while 10 out of 10 spiked LPC samples (100%) were confirmed as positive. For individual lots of hemolyzed human serum, 3 out of 3 unspiked samples Docket No. 140505.8005.WO00 (100%) were confirmed as negative, while 3 out of 3 spiked LPC samples (100%) were confirmed as positive. For individual lots of lipemic human serum, 3 out of 3 unspiked samples (100%) were confirmed as negative, while 3 out of 3 spiked LPC samples (100%) were confirmed as positive, which met the acceptance criteria. This suggests there is no matrix interference for detection of anti- XTMAB-16 antibodies in human serum. An example of data showing this result is illustrated in Table 33.

[0318] Drug Tolerance: The presence of drug XTMAB-16 in samples may interfere with the detection of anti-XTMAB-16 antibodies and, hence, the ability of the assay system to correctly detect the ADA was evaluated. Drug tolerance limit was defined as the highest level of drug in the presence of which ADA is still detected. Potential interference by the drug was evaluated using a positive control prepared at concentrations of 100ng/mL and 9.7ng/mL. These controls were spiked with XTMAB-16 at concentrations ranging from 5.0µg/mL to 400µg/mL. The addition of up to 100.0µg/mL XTMAB-16 had no impact on the ADA detection in samples spiked at 100ng/mL, and the addition of up to 5.0µg/mL XTMAB-16 had impact on the ADA detection in samples spiked at 9.7ng/mL, which led to a false-negative result. An example of data showing this result is illustrated in Table 34. Table 34: Assessing Drug Tolerance Example Run Drug Tolerance

[0321] Stability: The stability of positive controls in human serum was used to assess sample stability. Freeze/thaw (6 cycles of -70°C ± 10°C to ambient temperature) and bench-top (24 hours at ambient temperature) stability were tested. The acceptance criteria for the stability samples were as follows: (1) NC < plate-specific SCP ≤ LPC < HPC for screening assay, (2) %inhibition of NC < CCP ≤ LPC and HPC for confirmatory assay, (3) %CV ≤ 20% for the NC, LPC, and HPC, (4) at least 66.7% (two out of three) stability samples must meet the above acceptance criteria. [0322] The tested samples were stored at -70°C (nominal) for at least 24 hours prior to first thaw and 12 hours prior to each additional thaw. Samples were at ambient temperature for 1-2 hours prior to refreezing. Three aliquots for each control (HPC, LPC, and NC) were tested after undergoing six freeze/thaw cycles on a plate using both screening and confirmatory assay, with frozen PCs and NC, which were used for plate acceptance. The results met the acceptance criteria, therefore, anti- XTMAB-16 antibodies in human serum are stable for up to six freeze/thaw cycles from -70°C (nominal) to ambient temperature.
