2026 MIDD Webinar Series | Diverse Clinical Applications of a General Mechanistic Model of Therapeutic IgG-based Interactions

IVIG co-administration with monoclonal-antibodies/bispecifics is common across autoimmunity, immunodeficiencies, and transplantation. These therapies undergo FcRn-mediated recycling, raising potential for PK-PD interactions. Mechanistic IgG-disposition model utilized to investigate how IVIG dose/timing, and IgG dynamics influence IgG behavior and PK/PD outcomes. Model well-described total/endogenous-IgG kinetics across autoimmune/transplantation. It recapitulated reduced tesidolumab exposure with IVIG in transplantation, explaining associated PD alterations. Model examined IVIG supplementation in multiple-myeloma receiving teclistamab, and rituximab-IVIG co-therapy for transplant desensitization. Simulations revealed IVIG co-therapy alters mAb PK-PD depending on IVIG-regimen, IgG-pool and exposure-response-relationship of the mAb. Model provides mechanistic framework for MIDD and prospective management of IgG interactions.

The MIDD Webinar Series, coordinated by Yash Kapoor and Fulya Akpinar Singh, is a series of webinars focused on shaping the future of drug development and regulatory decision-making sponsored by the ISoP Education Committee. Topics range from MIDD approaches in regulatory submission to pharmacometrics topics that are at the core of model development.
