| Other | Immunogenicity: Presence of Anti-drug Antibodies | Evaluation of immunogenicity is carried out in a tiered fashion: Screening assay to assess if samples were positive or negative for anti-PegG-CSF. Confirmatory assays for samples that were positive in the screening assay. The confirmatory assays assessed if antibodies were specific for INTP5, Neulasta, PEG and/or filgrastim. Titer assay was performed to determine titer of the anti-PEG-GCSF antibody samples. Neutralizing antibody (NAb) assay for those samples that were positive in the confirmatory assays to assess the neutralizing capability of the antibody to inhibit pegfilgrastim activity. |
