Table 4.

Combined assessment of infliximab and anti-infliximab for people with loss of response receiving infliximab

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.
