Steenholdt et al 26 | ADAbs+ | ADAbs− | Total | Population and anti-TNFα therapy; tests |
Anti-TNFα− | NOR=8 | NOR=2 | NOR=10 | Failure on infliximab, continued failure or gain of response at 12 weeks; RIA. Prevalence of NOR=44.9% |
RESP=6 | RESP=1 | RESP=7 | ||
Anti-TNFα+ | NOR=1 | NOR=20 | NOR=21 | |
RESP=3 | RESP=28 | RESP=31 | ||
Total | NOR=9 | NOR=22 | NOR=31 | |
RESP=9 | RESP=29 | RESP=38 |
The probability of a patient returning each of the four possible test result combinations was:
ADAbs+/anti-TNFα−, 0.203; ADAbs+/anti-TNFα+, 0.058; ADAbs−/anti-TNFα−, 0.00.043; ADAbs−/anti-TNFα+, 0.696.
The probabilities of failing to gain a response according to category of test result were 0.571, 0.250, 0.667 and 0.417, respectively.
ADAbs, antidrug antibodies; LOR, loss of response; RESP, responders; NOR, no regain of response; TNF, tumour necrosis factor.
