Biological therapeutic products (BTPs) are proteins derived from living organisms<br />

or produced via biotechnology means that have provided the medical<br />

community with novel, highly targeted therapies for the diagnosis and treatment<br />

diseases in humans. An integral part <strong>of</strong> the safety evaluation <strong>of</strong> these products is<br />

toxicology studies. BTP—induced toxicities are typically limited to their pharmacological<br />

mechanism <strong>of</strong> action; therefore, toxicology studies need to be<br />

conducted in an animal model that expresses the receptor or epitope that is recognized<br />

by the product. Frequently, a non-human primate (NHP) is the relevant<br />

model. In recent years, the quality <strong>of</strong> NHPs and the availability <strong>of</strong> methods for<br />

assessing toxicity in these animals have increased. In spite <strong>of</strong> these advances,<br />

many challenges remain in the safety assessment <strong>of</strong> BTPs. For example, only a<br />

very limited toxicological assessment can be conducted if the only relevant<br />

model is a chimpanzee. In such cases, toxicologists use innovative approaches,<br />

including the development <strong>of</strong> surrogate molecules, to conduct toxicology studies.<br />

Therefore, identification <strong>of</strong> novel methods is an ongoing effort in the BTP arena.<br />

Regardless <strong>of</strong> the animal model used, the potential for animals to mount an<br />

immune response to BTPs (immunogenicity) exists. Because immunogenicity<br />

can confound interpretation <strong>of</strong> toxicology studies, it is another challenge facing<br />

toxicologists that can result in the need for innovative approaches to safety<br />

assessment. Additionally, because immunogenicity can occur in humans<br />

receiving BTPs, the development <strong>of</strong> animal models to predict this effect in<br />

humans is an area <strong>of</strong> ongoing research. The need for innovative, flexible<br />

approaches when assessing the safety <strong>of</strong> BTPs is reflected in U.S. FDA and international<br />

regulatory documents. The topics covered in this workshop will provide<br />

toxicologists with the most current information on the unique scientific properties<br />

<strong>of</strong> BTPs and with state—<strong>of</strong>—the—art approaches to safety assessment <strong>of</strong><br />

BTPs.<br />
