Since F1+2 appearance traces the formation of thrombin, this relationship supports the possibility of using F1+2 as a biomarker for haemostatic agents. Aims To explore the potential of prothrombin fragments 1&2 (F1+2) as a biomarker for haemostatic agents with a model of the effects of the FVIIa analogue NN1731. Background Haemophilic patients suffer a defect in blood coagulation due to lack of either coagulation factor VIII or IX. In some patients, replacement therapy with the lacking coagulation factor eventually results in the formation of antibodies (inhibitors). Inhibitor patients may be treated with by-passing agents such as activated human coagulation factor FVII (FVIIa, NovoSeven). NN1731 is a FVIIa analogue that in vitro has shown increased activity in stimulating the cleavage of prothrombin to thrombin and F1+2, a key step in the coagulatory pathway1. F1+2 was measured in the first clinical trial with NN1731, a dose escalation trial with 4 dosing arms. NN1731 and F1+2 plasma concentrations were related to NN1731 doses to establish a population PK/PD model treating F1+2 as a PD biomarker. References 1 E. Persson et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 96;13583,2001 A sketch of the pro-coagulatory actions of thrombin, also known as coagulation factor IIa. Thrombin activates several coagulatory proteins and these actions cascade down eventually leading to the formation of cross-linked fibrin (CLIa) which forms the actual blood clot. Methods • Strategy: • Develop PK-model from NN1731 plasma concentration data. • Develop PD-model from individual post-hoc PK model parameters and F1+2 plasma concentration data. • Data source: (3 pre- and 10 post-dose PK samples + 1 pre- and 5 post-dose PD samples)  6 healthy subjects  4 active (non-zero) dose levels. Dose range 5 µg/kg-30 µg/kg • Modelling: PK and PD in man was modelled sequentially using NONMEM V with FOCE. Regarding inter-individual variability (i.i.v.) on model parameters, log-normal distributions were tested for significance against the hypotheses of zero i.i.v on that parameter (which is why the geometric, rather than the arithmetic, post-hoc estimate means are displayed on fig. 4). Results Figure 1. Structure of PK/PD model Figure 2. Fit of PK/PD model PK/PD model parameters 10 g/kg 5 g/kg The PK/PD model predictions of the F1+2 time profiles for each trial subject as well as for the typical subject are shown along with the observations and their means for each dose level. V1, V2: central & peripheral volumes of distribution, CL: clearance, Q: intercompartmental clearance, B: baseline F1+2 level, kout: rate constant for F1+2, E: NN1731 efficacy Values in parenthesis: Coefficients of Variation (CV’s) regarding i.i.v. for each parameter. 30 g/kg 20 g/kg The resulting PK model was a standard two-compartment model with inter-individual variability (i.i.v.) on CL and V2. The PD model was a linear indirect response model with the plasma concentration of NN1731 affecting the formation of F1+2 , incorporating i.i.v. on baseline F1+2 levels (B) and the efficacy parameter (E). The F1+2 formation rate at the baseline state Cp=0 equals B kout . Figure 3. Dose-independence check of PK model Figure 4.

The result is less clear-cut than that of the PK parameters (fig. 3), but since the ranges of values for the lowest and the highest dose are quite similar for the efficacy parameter E, it is concluded that the NN1731 concentration-PD response relationship is well described. Post-hoc parameter estimates of CL and V2 were checked for dose independence. Such a dependence appears to be absent for both parameters, indicating that the PK model is valid over the studied dose-range.
