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

To conclude…• Number of mAbs in late-stage clinical studies expected

to drive trend toward first approvals for ~6-9 new mAbs

per year (or more) into the future

• 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)
