The Antibody Society
• The Antibody Society is a non-profit trade association
representing individuals and organizations involved in
antibody R&D
• We pursue initiatives intended to broadly benefit the
field of antibody R&D, e.g.,
• INN source infix issue
• Development metrics
• Standards for next-generation sequencing data (Adaptive
Immune Receptor Repertoire Community)
• We engage in activities that broadly benefit our
members, such as education and publishing, and help
to organize conferences
3
Topics for discussion
• Newly on the market (or soon to be)
• Recent first approvals for antibody therapeutics
• Antibodies in regulatory review
• Antibodies in late-stage clinical development
• Possible near-term marketing application submissions
(details in supp. slides)
• Near-term study primary completion dates (supp. slides)
• Antibody therapeutics development metrics
• Data collected
• Success rates

Drug development metrics
• Assess performance of the pharmaceutical industry, and
serve as benchmarks for individual companies
• Success rates are useful for setting expectations for
clinical development of drugs, e.g.,
• Phase transition and approval success rates
• Phase 1 to 2, Phase 2 to 3, Phase 3 to reg. review;
overall rate from Phase 1 to approval
• Global, US or EU approvals
16
Data collected
• Top-level data on all commercially sponsored antibodies
currently in clinical study and those that entered clinical
study during 2000-2016, but were terminated
• Name(s) and company
• Molecular characteristics (sequence source, isotype,
any modifications, target)
• Clinical development data (dates of transitions,
indications of studies)
• First regulatory review (focus on EU and US)
• First marketing approval (focus on EU and US)
• As of Oct 1, 2017, dataset includes over 950 molecules

• 2018 will be an active year! Currently watching:
• 11 applications in US or EU regulatory review
• 12 possible marketing application submissions (8 non-cancer,
4 cancer)
• 19 antibodies with top-level Phase 3 results expected (10
non-cancer, 9 cancer)
• Success rates for antibody therapeutics development
holding at relatively high levels (20-24%, P1-approval)
