Ph. RMA White Paper on ADME Pharmacogenomics: Survey Results Lisa A. Shipley, Ph. D. Advisory Committee for Pharmaceutical Science and Clinical Pharmacology March 18, 2008
Goals of the White Paper n n Present a pharmaceutical industry perspective of the recent and future utility of pharmacogenomics (PGx) related to the ADME properties of drugs for drug development and utilization Offer perspectives on the current state of practices, strategies, knowledge and key information gaps that need to be addressed in order to fulfill the promise of PGx in targeted medicine Does not intend to provide best practice for ADME PGx in drug development or utilization, nor to address ethical ramifications of ADME PGx Second half of paper discusses current understanding of clinically significant polymorphisms of drug metabolism enzymes and transporters
Approach n To establish a cross-industry perspective on the current utility of ADME PGx, Ph. RMA conducted a survey of recent (2003 -2005) major pharmaceutical company practices
The Survey n n n Assembled a series of questions to elicit broad information about current pharmaceutical company ADME PGx practices Survey respondents were instructed to base all answers on clinical trials that initiated during the period 2003 -2005 Companies were also asked to provide citations for peerreviewed original PGx ADME research published by industry scientists (up to 3/company), and examples of how PGx ADME information has been used for internal decision-making and regulatory interactions Ph. RMA staff solicited responses from Ph. RMA member companies and aggregated data, to preserve companies’ anonymity (except for citations of published papers) Not every company answered every question Some questions have been reordered for ease of presentation

Incorporation of Pharmacogenetic in Healthcare Eric Lai, Ph. D. , VP, Pharmacogenetics March 18, 2008
This presentation represents my personal views and does not necessarily reflect the policies or endorsement of Glaxo. Smith. Kline. 19
What is Pharmacogenetics (PGx)? · The field of Pharmacogenetics deals with the · effect of individual gene variants on the action of a given drug. “Right Drug for the right patient at the right time” or personalized medicine. 20
Misconceptions about PGx · There is no such things as a personalized medicine (The · · right medicine to the right patient at the right dosage at the right time). This is a perfect example of marketing talk (Drugs are not like cars or computers). Clinical trials are done on populations, effects are observed in a group of patients. PGx increase the probability whether the drug is going to be beneficial for you or may have major adverse effort(s) against you. The drug is not specifically designed for you but for a group of targeted individuals (Targeted or Informed Medicine). So it is more like clothing sizes (whether you are size 0 or 14). Not all clinical trials or drugs have PGx components 21
PGx results are used to support post-marketing risk management, product differentiation in market place & asset progression · Support post-marketing risk management and product differentiation by identifying treatment and management opportunities using patient’s marker status (Phase III - IV) – Improve safety profile: Safety PGx · Support asset progression (Phase II – III) – – Improve efficacy profile (Efficacy PGx) Improve safety profile · Account for variability (Phase I) – Drug safety & efficacy varies between individuals and ethnic groups. · Explain etiology (Disease understanding) – – Genetics influences susceptibility to adverse drug reactions. Understanding these mechanisms can be used to minimize risk. Genetics influences efficacy of medicines– understanding mechanisms can be used to select back-up compounds or identify best treatment population. 22

Safety PGx - abacavir hypersensitivity 24
What is abacavir hypersensitivity? · · Abacavir (ABC) commonly used in treatment of HIV-1 infection Approved products include Ziagen, Trizivir and Epzicom / Kivexa Generally well tolerated Key limitation: abacavir hypersensitivity reaction (ABC HSR) – affects ~5% of clinical trial patients · Features of ABC HSR: – Multi-organ clinical syndrome – typically fever and/or rash ± constitutional, GI and/or respiratory symptoms – Symptoms usually (>90%) occur within first 6 weeks of therapy – The symptoms worsen with continued therapy and can be lifethreatening but usually resolve upon permanent discontinuation of abacavir – Re-challenge is contraindicated and can be fatal 25
GSK research on ABC HSR · Post-approval commitments in 1999 to regulatory authorities to conduct research to understand ABC HSR and develop tests to confirm diagnosis · Pooled analysis of studies identified some risk factors for HSR: race, sex, CDC class, prior HIV drug treatment, NNRTI co-introduction · Comprehensive & effective risk management program created (educational materials, labelling, pharmacovigilance, etc. ) 26

Last thought: what is most important? 46
History of mobile phone development · Importance of the regulatory agency: – The basic concept of cellular phones began in 1947, when researchers looked at crude mobile (car) phones and realized that by using small cells (range of service area) with frequency reuse they could increase the traffic capacity of mobile phones substantially. However at that time, the technology to do so was nonexistent. – Anything to do with broadcasting and sending a radio or television message out over the airwaves comes under Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulation. A cell phone is a type of two-way radio. In 1947, AT&T proposed that the FCC allocate a large number of radiospectrum frequencies so that widespread mobile telephone service would become feasible and AT&T would have a incentive to research the new technology. We can partially blame the FCC for the gap between the initial concept of cellular service and its availability to the public. The FCC decided to limit the amount of frequencies available in 1947, the limits made only twenty-three phone conversations possible simultaneously in the same service area - not a market incentive for research. 47
1968: Change in regulatory landscape · The FCC reconsidered its position in 1968. · AT&T and Bell Labs proposed a cellular system to the · FCC of many small, low-powered, broadcast towers, each covering a 'cell' a few miles in radius and collectively covering a larger area. Dr Martin Cooper, a former general manager for the systems division at Motorola, is considered the inventor of the first modern portable handset. Cooper made the first call on a portable cell phone in April 1973. 48
1983: First commercial cellular phone Dr. Cooper Motorola is first to ship a commercial portable cellular phone, the Dyna. TAC, with a suggested retail price of $3, 995 The Dyna. Tac phone weighs 28 ounces, is 13 x 1. 75 x 3. 5 inches in dimension, boasts one hour of talk time and eight hours of standby time and has the nickname of “brick phone”. 49
Cell Phone Subscribers in the U. S. , 1985– 2005 $299 with better and more reliable coverage 50
So what did the cell phone industry teach us? · · Regulatory decisions are critical A common standard (cellular transmission) Reasonable cost for the general public Reliable and good coverage of services (US cell phone companies still have a lot of work to improve on this issue). 51

Capecitabine project conclusions The structure of the tumor size model was robust to predict tumor growth and anti-tumor effect of: ● Three cytotoxic drugs in two tumor types Change in tumor size was a good predictor of survival ● Modeling of longitudinal tumor size data is much more informative than response rate determination ● Poor predictor of survival (primary endpoint in Phase III) • Study-level correlations (Buyse Lancet 2000, Shanafelt JCO 2004) • Even more problematic with new targeted therapies (cytostatic rather than cytotoxic) The combined tumor size and survival models: ● Successfully predicted expected treatment differences ● Is a useful approach to support early development decisions: • Does the expected survival benefit of the new drug warrant further development? • If yes, which Phase III study need be designed to show non-inferiority, superiority? 69 March, 2008 © Pharsight Corporation All Rights Reserved
Pharsight uses the FDA NSCLC model Availability of data to develop the survival model is problematic in many companies The availability of generic public-domain models is critical We used the FDA NSCLC model (Wang et al, DIA, 2007) in one of our projects ● Pharsight Uses FDA Disease Model to Support Oncology Drug Development: http: //media. corporate-ir. net/media_files/irol/12/121504/Release 112007. pdf The company was interested in getting expectations of survival for a NCE in combination ● To support decision to start a large Phase III study ● They had a Phase Ib combination study in NSCLC (less than 30 patients) • We used the FDA model and simulated expected survival based on: ◦ Observed tumor shrinkage ◦ Patient’s prognostic factors ● The Pharmacometry team (Drs. Wang and Gobburu) provided us the information we needed The model will be used in several other projects soon 70 March, 2008 © Pharsight Corporation All Rights Reserved
A case study to illustrate the use of the FDA NSCLC model with erlotinib data Tumor shrinkage data are generally not reported in papers Karrison, Maitland, Stadler and Ratain recently proposed to use change in tumor size as the primary endpoint in randomized Phase II trials (J Natl Cancer Inst, 99, 1455 -1461, 2007) ● In table 1 they report data for change in tumor size from 4 trials ● We used data from the pivotal erlotinib trial in 2 nd line patients (Shepherd et al. New Engl J Med, 353, 123 -132) • 488 patients in the erlotinib arm • ORR: 8. 9% • Survival: 6. 7 months 71 March, 2008 © Pharsight Corporation All Rights Reserved
A case study to illustrate the use of the FDA NSCLC model with erlotinib data (cont. ) Data used for the simulation ● Week 8 fractional change data based on Karrison reported log ratio • • • The ratio of tumor size at week 8 to baseline size is normally distributed Log ratio was sampled from normal distribution (Table 1): Mean 0. 048, SD: 0. 340 Shrinkage = exp(logratio)-1 (distribution given in backup) ● Baseline tumor size distribution • • Sampled from lognormal distribution Mean: 100 mm, SD: 57 mm (distribution in backup) ● EGOG 0, 1 proportion (80/20%) based on observed in Shepherd • • Shepherd trial included 66 % ECOG 0, 1 and 34 % ECOG 2, 3 patients (Table 1) Among ECOG 0, 1 patients, 20% had ECOG 1 and 80% ECOG 2 We simulated 1000 replicates of a virtual treatment arm of 300 patients (second–line, ECOG 0 or 1) ● C and D models (assumed to be second line treatments) were used to simulate 1000 replicates • • 25% of the replicates with C 1, C 2, D 1 and D 2 Parameters for each of the replicates were sampled in uncertainty of estimates ● Adjusted with early dropouts 72 March, 2008 © Pharsight Corporation All Rights Reserved
The FDA SSCLC model can be used to simulate expected survival based on tumor shrinkage data Expected median survival: 7. 2 months (95% PI: 5. 2 to 10. 1 months) ● Slightly longer than in Shepherd (was 6. 7 months) ● But only concerns ECOG 0, 1 patients 1000 replicates of 300 patients Median 95% prediction interval © Pharsight Corporation All Rights Reserved March, 2008
Value of the survival simulations The survival probability distribution of an investigational treatment can be quantified based on early tumor shrinkage clinical data (typically available in Phase Ib or II) ● Can be a new NCE ● Can be a new combination treatment An arm of the investigational treatment can be simulated conditional on a sample size ● To mimic a clinical trial arm These simulations can be compared to a survival distribution from a reference treatment ● Expected treatment arm difference can support • • Go/no go decision Phase III clinical trial design Phase III clinical trials can be simulated to assess probability of success 74 March, 2008 © Pharsight Corporation All Rights Reserved
Conclusions Change in tumor size is a good predictor of survival ● Response rate (the primary endpoint in Phase II) is a poor predictor of survival • Study-level correlations (Buyse Lancet 2000, Shanafelt JCO 2004) ● Modeling of longitudinal tumor size data is much more informative than response rate determination to predict clinical benefit ● Supports use of change in tumor size as a primary endpoint in Phase II studies Drug-independent survival models allow to predict survival expectations or simulate Phase III trials based on early Phase Ib or Phase II data ● Availability of these models is limited ● FDA is in a unique position to develop such models without disclosing proprietary information ● Models for other endpoints (e. g. PFS) might be needed A modeling framework combining longitudinal tumor size models and drug independent survival models can be used ● To predict expected treatment efficacy (ORR, Survival, PFS) ● To simulate clinical trials ● To support • • • 75 March, 2008 Drug development decisions Clinical trial design Drug registration © Pharsight Corporation All Rights Reserved
