Abstract: In the field of monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic use, in particular IgG1s for therapeutic use, there is disclosed a method for increasing the binding affinity of an IgG1 vis-à-vis the FcRn receptor, and/or increasing the stability of the complex formed by such IgG1 and FcRn. A related pharmaceutical composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to assessing the Fc?RIIIa-158 polymorphism in a subject in order to determine susceptibility of the subject to drug induced thrombocytopenia, as well as therapies and therapeutic compositions based on the use of this biomarker.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions to evaluate or assess the response of a subject to particular therapeutic treatment. More particularly, the invention provides methods to determine the response of subjects, or to adapt the treatment protocol of subjects treated with therapeutic antibodies. The invention is based on a determination of the FCGR3A genotype of a subject. The invention can be used for patients with malignancies, particularly lymphoma, and is suited to select best responders and/or adjust treatment condition or protocol for low responders.

Abstract: Methods are provided to determine the cancer prognosis of subjects and/or to adapt the treatment protocol of subjects having or susceptible to cancer. Embodiments include the steps of determining in vitro the genotype of said subject at a polymorphism in the C3-ITGAM axis, making a cancer prognosis of the subject based on said genotype and selecting an anti-cancer treatment for the subject.

Abstract: The invention relates to steps for the development or the quality control of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MoAbr) used as medicaments, and also to the selection of the patients liable to effectively respond to a treatment with a given monoclonal antibody.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and compositions to evaluate or assess the response and/or side effects of a subject to particular therapeutic treatment. More particularly, the invention provides methods to determine the response and/or side effects of subjects, or to adapt the treatment protocol of subjects treated with therapeutic antibodies in situations where target neutralisation is desired without depletion of a target cell. The invention is based on a determination of the FCGR3A genotype of a subject. Preferable, the therapeutic antibodies are antibodies or proteins comprising Fc portions of the G4 subclass.
