Abstract

Summary: Subcutaneous administration is a simple method of parenteral administration with a minimum of possible complications, also suitable for home treatment. Moreover, it can be used to influence the pharmacokinetics of the administered drug. For therapeutically used monoclonal antibodies, it brings several advantages in terms of simplifying treatment and improving patient’s adherence. In addition, it appears that by targeting pharmacokinetic parameters, lower immunogenicity, and achievement of pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic targets can be achieved and thus, likely improve treatment outcomes. Key words: monoclonal antibodies – pharmacokinetics – pharmacodynamics – subcutaneous administration
