MTT Lag time for cytokine elevation in circulation hour N/A 3.21 × 100 (26)
Res prop err Proportional error N/A 3.10 × 10−1 (5) 3.20 × 10−1 (5)

%CV, percentage of coefficient of variation; N/A, not applicable; PD, pharmacodynamic; PK, pharmacokinetic; Res Prop Err, residual proportional error.

aFor T‐cell–engaging bispecific antibody (T‐BsAb) with hematological tumor indication (e.g., blinatumomab). bFor T‐BsAb with solid tumor indication (e.g., P‐cadherin LP DART). cFIXED: fixed parameter; estimated separately and then fixed in the cytokine model.
