Translating B-Cell and Plasma-Cell Targeting from Oncology to Autoimmunity: Modalities, Quantitative Bridging, and a Development Roadmap. (PubMed, Clin Pharmacol Ther)
We summarize pivotal translational inflection points, from rituximab extension beyond lymphoma to approvals of ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, ublituximab, and inebilizumab in neuroimmunology. We further review plasma cell-directed and T-cell-engaging strategies for deep immune resets in refractory disease, while clarifying implications for trial design, long-term safety, and implementation. Finally, we introduce a model-informed roadmap integrating population PK/PD, exposure-response, and quantitative systems pharmacology to optimize indication selection, patient enrichment, and dose/regimen design-supporting confident extrapolation rather than empiricism.
