In the second half of 2024, domestic TCE bispecific antibody transactions are popular all over the world, and autoimmune-related transactions account for 5 of all 7 domestic TCE bispecific antibody transactions, which can be called the “hottest” type of domestic innovative drugs. It is in this wave of global pharmaceutical companies scrambling for autoimmune TCE bispecific antibody rights that some developers have begun to fall behind, and the most advanced overseas biotech company IGM Biosciences. On January 9, IGM Biosciences announced that the company will lay off 73% of its employees and stop developing two autoimmune candidate drugs, Imvotamab (CD3/CD20 bispecific antibody) and IGM-2644 (CD3/CD38 bispecific antibody). IGM made such a decision because its CEO Mary Beth Harler said that the interim data of the Phase Ib study of Imvotamab in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus showed that the depth and consistency of B cell depletion ...

Drugdu.com expert’s response: In the analytical performance evaluation of IVD (In Vitro Diagnostics), the requirement to use samples from different sources for research is primarily based on the following considerations: I. Influence of Matrix Effects For IVD products, the detection targets are typically human tissues or fluids, particularly liquid samples such as blood and urine. These samples contain various substances such as salts, proteins, lipids, etc., which collectively constitute the matrix of the sample. Different human samples, or even samples from the same individual at different time points, may exhibit variations in their matrices. This matrix variation can impact the test results of reagents, known as matrix effects. Matrix effects are objectively present but can be controlled through scientific methods. Therefore, when conducting analytical performance evaluations of IVD products, it is necessary to use samples from different sources as much as possible to fully consider the impact of matrix effects ...
