“…Clinically tested effects of galcanezumab dose (120mg and 240mg), validated through PK modeling, indicated a steady decrease in the concentration of free ligands resulting in the development of efficacious dose regimens. 160 A PK and target engagement (molecular interaction) study of anti-interferon-γ-induced protein 10 (IP-10) mAb was characterized, which concluded optimal dose strategy and scheduling of drug administration, i.e., approximately eight subcutaneously delivered dose intervals were required weekly in this case to reach steady state. 161 Specialized cell-based bioassays or potency assays, including ELISA, binding assays, competitive assays, cell signaling, ligand binding, proliferation, and proliferation suppression, are essential in ascertaining the mechanism of action and similarity with the parent molecule.…”
