description Anti-drug antibody (ADAb) development is associated with secondary therapeutic failure in biologic-treated rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. With a treat-to-target goal, we aimed to identify biomarkers for predicting ADAb development and therapeutic response in adalimumab-treated patients. Three independent cohorts were enrolled. In Cohort-1, 24 plasma samples (6 ADAb-positive and 6 ADAb-negative patients at baseline and week 24 of adalimumab therapy, respectively) were assayed with immune-related microarray containing 1,636 correctly folded functional proteins. Next, we executed statistically powered autoantibody profiling analysis of 50 samples in Cohort-2 (24 ADAb-positive and 26 ADAb-negative patients). Subsequently, immunofluorescence assay was performed on 48 samples in Cohort-3 to correlate with ADAb titers and drug levels. The biomarkers were identified for predicting ADAb development and therapeutic response using the immune-related microarray and machine learning approach. ADAb-positive patients had lower drug levels at week 24 (median=0.024 μg/ml) compared with ADAb-negative patients (median=6.38 μg/ml, p<0.001). ROC analysis based on the ADAb status revealed the top 20 autoantibodies with AUC≥0.7 in differentiating both groups in Cohort-1. Analysis of Cohort-2 dataset identified a panel of 8 biomarkers (TROVE2, SSB, NDE1, ZHX2, SH3GL1, CARD9, PTPN20, and KLHL12) with 80.6% specificity, 77.4% sensitivity, and 79.0% accuracy in discriminating poor from EULAR responders. Immunofluorescence assay validated that anti-TROVE2 antibody could highly predict ADAb development and poor EULAR response (AUC 0.79 and 0.89, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis proved anti-TROVE2 antibody to be an independent predictor for developing ADAb. Immune-related protein microarray and replication analysis identified anti-TROVE2 antibody as a useful biomarker for predicting ADAb development and therapeutic response in adalimumab-treated patients.
