Immunogenicity · ADA & NAB

Immunogenicity that's structured, defensible, and audit-ready

From screening through titer, Sapio manages the full ADA and NAB workflow in one compliant platform — with statistical cut point calculation, enforced cascade order, and a complete decision history your regulators can follow.

A solution that tells the full story

Understanding the relationship between drug exposure and immune response is critical — but only possible when both datasets are visible together. Low exposure can drive immunogenicity, and immunogenicity can drive lower exposure. Without a connected view, it's easy to miss what's actually happening.

Having PK bioanalysis and immunogenicity workflows in one platform means your teams can see both sides of that relationship clearly — leading to faster, more confident decisions across the program.

Bioanalysis (PK)

One sample, one study, one audit trail

  • ADA and PK results from the same subjects, same draws, and same timepoints — evaluated together
  • The exposure–immunogenicity relationship visible in one place, for safety committees and PK modeling alike
  • Both assay programs run and validated on the same platform — one chain of custody

The Problem

Immunogenicity programs are complex — your software shouldn't make them harder

When ADA classification relies on manual cut point calculations, disconnected tools, and process discipline alone, the risk isn't just inefficiency — it's a defensibility problem when regulators ask questions.

📋

Manual Operations

Cut point calculations are usually done in spreadsheets and outlier detection is difficult. Being able to recreate what happened for a sponsor or regulator takes effort and time.

⚠️

Systems get in the way of progress

Systems or processes don't actually reflect the science that needs to be done, adding burden to the analyst and creating potential gaps in SOP adherence.

🔍

Audit trails reconstructed after the fact

ADA classification decisions — which samples were flagged, which were confirmed, which were excluded — are often spread across notebooks, emails, and spreadsheets. Inspection readiness means piecing it all together.

The Cascade

One platform for your assays

Your assays managed in sequence and in one system. The platform takes care of the workflow so you don't have to.

Live walkthrough — tiers light up in the order samples actually run

Screening

Every sample is read against a statistically calculated cut point. Positives advance — negatives stop here.

Confirmatory

Screening positives are re-tested using inhibition to confirm true positivity and rule out non-specific binding.

% inhibition threshold

Titer

Confirmed positive samples are serially diluted to quantify antibody levels. Titer calls are recorded with a full audit trail.

NAB

Neutralizing activity is assessed — a final positive or negative read with its own validated cut point.

Capabilities

Built for defensible immunogenicity science

📊

Statistical Cut Point Calculation

Cut points are calculated by the platform — not a spreadsheet. Outlier removal, normality testing, and method selection are documented automatically, giving you a defensible number with a complete decision history.

🧾

Full Decision History

Every cut point carries its own record — which runs were included, which samples were excluded, and why. When a regulator asks how you got the number, the answer is already there.

🧫

Screening and Confirmatory on One Plate

Inhibited and regular samples share the same instrument run. Screening and confirmatory data come out together — no separate plate, no separate transfer.

🛡️

Matrix-Effect Validation

Selectivity and interference checks — across normal, hemolyzed, and lipemic matrices — are built into the validation structure, not managed separately.

🎯

Titer Calls, on Record

Confirmed samples are diluted and titered with results recorded automatically. Scientists can override with an e-signature and reason — every decision is on the audit trail.

Gated Assay Approval

Required validation runs — cut point, sensitivity, selectivity, drug response — must be complete and accepted before an assay can be approved for use. No shortcuts, no gaps.

Impact

The value of an integrated immunogenicity platform

A representative program running ADA and NAB across clinical cohorts, replacing manual cut point spreadsheets and disconnected tools with a single compliant system.
