PK and PD Studies for Systemic Exposure of Locally Acting DrugsIndustry View Lester I. Harrison, PhD Division Scientist 3m Pharmaceuticals
Value of OINDP PK • Systemic Absorption = Systemic Exposure • Measure of systemic safety for locally acting drugs • PK is an Established BE Metric • Standardized • Validated • Discriminating
OINDP PK Concerns • Low Doses • Assay LLOQ Limitations • Variability • Nose: Drainage of Excess Dose • Oral Inhalation: Dosing Technique
OINDP PK Concern: Low Doses • “Low” Dose Relative • Quantitatable • Therapeutic Dose Range • More dose options • Nasal Route • May be limited by drainage
OINDP PK Concern: Assay LLOQ • LLOQ under 100 pg/mL common with LC/MS/MS • Commercial Availability of Assays • Albuterol • BDP + Active Metabolite • Budesonide • Triamcinolone Acetonide • Cromolyn • Fluticasone Propionate?
OINDP PK Concern: Variability • Large Inter-Subject Variability • Large Intra-Subject Variability • Dosing Technique
Nasal Formoterol VariabilityN = 27 Hochhaus et al, Pharmaceut Res 1992;9:291-297
Nasal Triamcinolone Acetonide VariabilityN = 12 Argenti et al, J Clin Pharmacol 1994;34:854-858
Nasal Budesonide VariabilityN = 16 Thorsson et al, Br J Clin Pharmacol 1999;47:619-624
Oral Inhalation Fluticasone VariabilityN = 12 Thorsson et al, Br J Clin Pharmacol 1997;43:155-161
Reducing Variability • Replicate Study Designs • Increased N • Nasal - Reduce Dose • Oral Inhalation - Inhalation Training • Not real world
BE Limitations of OINDP PK • No Correlation with Efficacy • Corticosteroids • Represents a Fraction of Dose • Usually Less Than 30% • Fine Particle Fraction? • Summary Parameter of Absorption • Represents Mouth + GI + First Pass + Lungs • Different Rates and Extents of Absorption
Nasal Fluticasone PK & EfficacyN = 280 Howland et al, Clin Therap 1996;18:1106-1117
Oral Inhaled Fluticasone PK & EfficacyN = 261 Lawrence et al, Am J Respir Crit Care Med 1997;156:744-751
Value of OINDP PK: Conclusions • PK Useful to Establish Systemic Absorption • Not a Surrogate for Local Efficacy • Doable • Can Reduce Variability • Systemic BE?
BDP MDI Examples Systemic Absorption Studies • Formulations: MDI A vs. MDI B • Study Designs • Single Dose (multiple inhalations) • Asthmatics • Crossover • Good Inhalation Technique
BDP Comparative Absorption StudiesMDI A vs. MDI B • Q1 …….. ……………… same • Q2 ………………………… same • Particle Size Dist ……… essentially same • Spray Pattern …………… essentially same • Valve Size …..………… same • Actuator Dimensions…… essentially same
Oral Inhaled BDP PK Study 1 • Objective: Systemic Comparability • N = 18 Asthmatics • Cmax: CI = 0.79 - 1.12; CV = 51% • AUC: CI = 0.90 - 1.35; CV = 42%
Oral Inhaled BDP PK Study 2 • Objective: Systemic BE • N = 45 Asthmatics • CmaxL: CI = 0.85 - 1.01; CV = 30% • CmaxH: CI = 0.80 - 0.95; CV = 49% • AUCL; CI = 0.85 - 0.95; CV = 23% • AUCH; CI = 0.86 - 0.97; CV = 22% • Concluded Systemic Equivalence • Ran Local Delivery Study for Efficacy
BDP MDI Examples Systemic Absorption Studies • Formulations: MDI C vs. MDI D • Different Strengths • Same Dose, Different Number of Puffs • Study Designs • Single Dose (multiple inhalations) • Asthmatics • Crossover • Good Inhalation Technique
BDP Comparative Absorption StudiesMDI C vs. MDI D • Q1 …….. ……………… same • Q2 ………………………… same • Particle Size Dist ……… same • Spray Pattern …………… same • Valve Size …..………… different • Actuator Dimensions……same
Oral Inhaled BDP PK Study 3 • Objective: Systemic Comparability • N = 18 Asthmatics • Cmax: CI = 0.76 - 1.00; CV = 32% • AUC; CI = 0.86 - 1.19; CV = 37%
Oral Inhaled BDP PK Study 4 • Objective: Systemic BE • N = 30 Asthmatics • CmaxL: CI = 0.82 - 1.11; CV = 46% • CmaxH: CI = 0.81 - 1.11; CV = 34% • AUCH; CI = 0.81 - 1.22; CV = 37% • Concluded Systemic Equivalence • Ran Local Delivery Studies on Each MDI
PK Options: Charcoal Block • Allows Differentiation of Pulmonary and Non-Pulmonary Absorbed Drug • Utilizes Same Drug Assays and Metrics • Little additional time or cost • Do Not Have to Alter Reference or Test Products
BE Limitations of Charcoal Block • No Evidence that Pulmonary Absorbed Drug Correlates with Efficacy • Does Not Discriminate Potentially Important Product Differences • Oropharayngeal Deposition • Regional Lung Deposition • Very Useful Laboratory Tool • “Pulmonary” Drug Absorption • Potential Surrogate for Local Delivery?
PK Options: Urinary Excretion • When PK Not Doable • Reported for • Albuterol • Cromolyn • Nedocromil • Ipratropium
Nasal Ipratropium BromideN = 22 • 24-Hour Urinary Excretion 10.6 1.9 g (mean SE) CV = 84% • Percent Dose Excreted 6.3 1.2% CV = 89% Wood et al, J Allergy Clin Immunol 1995;95:1111-1116
BE Limitations of Urinary Excretion • High Variability • Low Sensitivity • Unlikely to be a Reliable Surrogate
PK Options: PD Measurement • When PK Not Doable • Requires Appropriate Study Design • Dose Response Curve • Repeat Administration
BE Limitations of PD • High Variability • Low Sensitivity • Requires Multiple Dose Levels • Difficult Task if PK Not Doable
PK Options: PK-PD • Allows Correlation of PK with PD • PK Linear • PD Dose Response Curve • Increased Understanding • Systemic Exposure • Systemic Safety
BE Limitations of PK-PD • Requires Several Dose Levels, Additional Analyses • Does Not Increase Ability to Differentiate Products • Very Useful Laboratory Tool • Development Technique
SUMMARY • Systemic PK Assessment • Needed to Assure Systemic Safety • Doable for Most Drugs • PD, Urine Levels • Not Likely Surrogates • Charcoal Block, PK-PD • Development Tools
FDA Question: Are There Situations Where In Vitro Data + PK + PD Can Be Relied on to Assure Local Efficacy • Can Be Relied On To Assure Implies Predictability • Beta-Agonists • Corticosteroids • Cromolyn • Anticholinergics • Antihistamines • Solutions? • Need for Caution Until Predictability Demonstrated
