Antibodies can be used in combination with other drugs or therapies to provide a more comprehensive treatment approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Personalized dosing<\/strong>: Antibodies can be dosed according to an individual&#8217;s unique characteristics, including weight, age, and kidney function. This personalized dosing approach can help to optimize drug efficacy while minimizing the risk of adverse events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monitoring response<\/strong>: Antibodies can be used to monitor treatment response in real time. By monitoring biomarkers and other indicators of disease progression, it may be possible to adjust treatment regimens and improve outcomes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Wendy K.
