Immunogenicity of Therapeutic Peptides: Regulatory Science Implications
Track : Track 14: Clinical Safety and Pharmacovigilance
Program Code: 422
Date: Thursday, June 28, 2012
Time: 10:45 AM to 12:15 PM  EST
CHAIR :
 Jill Conner, Teva Pharmaceuticals, United States
PRESENTER (S):
 S. Russ Lehrman, Lehrman Biopharma, United States
Laura Salazar Fontana, FDA, United States
Ety Klinger, Proteologics, Ltd., Israel
Description
Like proteins, synthetic peptide-based non-biologic complex drugs (NBCD) are immunogenic and can be immunotoxic. This session will review causes of immunotoxicity and suggests regulatory guidelines to ensure immunologic safety of new or follow-on peptide-based NBCD.

Learning Objectives:
Identify potential for, and causes of, unwanted immunogenicity of peptide therapeutics, including non-biologic complex drugs (NBCD)
Illustrate risks of inadequate clinical/preclinical testing of immunogenic peptides
Identify guidelines for new and follow-on peptide-based NBCD approval.
