Combined assessment of infliximab and anti-infliximab for responders receiving infliximab

Imaeda et al 27 ADAbs+ ADAbs− Total Population and anti-TNFα therapy; tests
Anti-TNFα− LOR=9 LOR=0 LOR=9 Responders on infliximab maintenance;
ELISA. Prevalence of LOR=29.3%
RESP=1 RESP=7 RESP=8
Anti-TNFα+ LOR=3 LOR=5 LOR=8
RESP=3 RESP=30 RESP=33
Total LOR=12 LOR=5 LOR=17
RESP=4 RESP=37 RESP=41

The probability of a patient returning each of the four possible test result combinations was:

ADAbs+/anti-TNFα−, 0.172; ADAbs+/anti-TNFα+, 0.103; ADAbs−/anti-TNFα−, 0.121; ADAbs−/anti-TNFα+, 0.603.

The probabilities of losing response according to the category of test result were 0.900, 0.500, 0.000 and 0.143, respectively.

ADAbs, antidrug antibodies; LOR, loss of response; RESP, responders; TNF, tumour necrosis factor.
