College of Pharmacy Discusses Master\u2019s Thesis on Anti-Etanercept Antibodies in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
\nThe College of Pharmacy at the University of Mosul hosted, on Thursday, September 3, 2026, the Master\u2019s thesis defense submitted by postgraduate student Anfal Abdul-Lateef Abdul-Allah Al-Qadhli, entitled:
\n> “Clinical Prevalence of Anti-Etanercept Antibodies and Its Impact on Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Receiving Altebrel”
\n>
\nThe study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anti-etanercept antibodies among Iraqi patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving Altebrel (etanercept biosimilar), and to determine their impact on disease activity and therapeutic efficacy.
\nThe findings demonstrated a high prevalence of neutralizing antibodies within the study cohort, with their levels directly correlating with increased disease activity. Additionally, overall anti-Altebrel antibody levels were associated with lower trough drug concentrations, whereas no clear correlation was observed between neutralizing antibodies and serum drug levels. These results underscore the distinct functional roles of various antibody types, highlighting the need for future studies to elucidate these underlying mechanisms and clarify their clinical implications.
\nThe examination committee comprised:
\n* Professor Dr. Harith Khalid Mohammad Al-Qazzaz \u2013 College of Pharmacy, University of Mosul \u2013 Chair
\n* Assistant Professor Dr. Rima Ata-Allah Jamil Hijazeen \u2013 School of Pharmacy, University of Jordan \u2013 Member
\n* Lecturer Dr. Salah Mohammad Amin Al-Sarraf \u2013 College of Pharmacy, University of Mosul \u2013 Member
\n* Assistant Professor Dr. Mohammad Ibrahim Mohammad Al-Adul \u2013 College of Pharmacy, University of Mosul \u2013 Member and Primary Supervisor
\n* Assistant Professor Dr. Ali Abdul-Rahman Younus Mulla Dhannoon \u2013 College of Medicine, University of Mosul \u2013 Member and Co-Supervisor
\nThis defense aligns with the College of Pharmacy’s commitment at the University of Mosul to support postgraduate students and promote rigorous scientific research, thereby advancing biomedical knowledge and improving clinical and pharmaceutical outcomes.
\nAt the conclusion of the defense, we extend our best wishes to student Anfal Abdul-Lateef Abdul-Allah Al-Qadhli for continued success and achievement in her academic and professional career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
