Purpose of the Committee

• To develop guidelines for the use of TDM of biologics.
• To encourage the use of TDM of biologics with the aim of optimizing clinical drug use and outcomes.
• To promote development of PK and PKPD models that can be used for dose adjustment in clinical practice.
• To provide knowledge of PK and the PK-response interactions.
• To promote best practice in relation to laboratory analysis of biologics.
• To enhance collaboration between groups working in the field and disseminate research in this area.
• To provide information on the measurement and clinical relevance of antibodies to biologics.
• To focus on harmonization and standardization of assays for TDM.

Committee Initiatives Currently in Progress (2021)

• To perform an international comparative study across assays every 5 years.
• To continue contributions for Compass.
  • 2021: José Germán Sánchez Hernández (Pharmacokinetic Unit. Pharmacy Department. Complejo Asistencial Universitario de Salamanca). Early Personalized vedolizumab treatment in ulcerative colitis
• To suggest some names of new members (TDM of Biologics in Oncology) or propose a collaboration with the TDM in Oncology Scientific Committee and the Pharmacometrics Committee.
• To update website.
• To submit proposals for workshops and symposia for the next IATDMCT Congresses.
• To seek opportunities for affiliation with other societies.
