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.
