How do clinical trials relate to the MRF1? Lynn Katsoulis SAPPRA 23 March 2007
Points of View Planners Implementers Report writers
Points of View • Development plans • Details order and timing of data capture • Ensure all data collected before needed • Non-clinical tests & Clinical trials • Collect data according to overall development plan • Report written after each experiment to trial • Regulatory Submissions • Mostly report entire process • Justify next step which needs regulatory approval
Drug development • High risk industry • Long and expensive process to prove drugs are safe and effective • Development process costs up to $1.5 Billion • Manufacturing • Characterize compound • Ensure same compound is produced throughout experimental phase and for each batch marketed • Nonclinical experiments • Collect sufficient data to show lack of risk to subjects • Clinical trials • Drugs given to carefully selected population • Population expands throughout development process • By end of development, should have sufficient data to extrapolate safety and efficacy of product to general population

Objective at Each Stage Non-clinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 • In vitro pharmacology • In vitro safety • Respiratory, cardiac, hepatic, mutagenicity • In vivo safety • Single dose / dose ranging • Repeat dose / dose ranging • Proof of concept
Toxicology Regulatory Requirements From ICH Guidance for Industry: M3 Nonclinical Safety Studies for the Conduct of Human Clinical Trials for Pharmaceuticals
Objective – Phase 1 Non-clinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 • Healthy volunteers • Tolerance • Dose range • Pharmacokinetics • Several trials • About 5 to 30 subjects/trial
Objective – Phase 2 Non-clinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 • Learn all there is to know about the drug • Dose comparison (2a) • May be several trials • Proof of concept • Numbers to small to show significant difference • 20 to 60 subjects/trial
Objective - Phase 3 Non-clinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 • Statistical confirmation of Phase 2 trial • Pivotal trials • Needs to be duplicated • Large trials • - 100s to 1000s of subjects/trial
Objective - Phase 4 Non-clinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 • Post-marketing observations • Confirm findings in general population • Collect safety data in large patient group • 1000s of subjects/trial
Objective - Overall Non-clinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 • Each phase provides information to progress to next step • Marketing approval based on pivotal trials

How is Drug Development Changing? Non-clinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4 Exploratory Confirmatory Non-clinical
Change in Goals • Confirmatory • 2-3 doses • Select responders • Randomized exclusion • Goal • Increase success rate • Decrease cost of dev. • Exploratory • Exploratory IND • Several compounds • Adaptive trials • Goal • Compound selection based on clinical data • Kill compounds earlier • More compounds explored Non-clinical
Change in Goals Confirmatory • Post-marketing • Carefully designed program • Confirm safety • Extend / Refine label Non-clinical Exploratory
Technologies Available Electronic Data Capture Adaptive Clinical Trial Design Non-clinical Safety Database Phase 1 Biomarkers X-omics Phase 2 Image Database Phase 3 Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes Phase 4

Quality and Drug Development Clinical Discovery Non-Clinical QS GCP GLP Manufacturing GMP WHO:TDR/PRD/QSBR/01.1Quality standards in basic biomedical research”
Basic Principles of GXPs DOCUMENTATION RESOURCES GXP QUALITY ASSURANCE RULES CHARACTERISATION Result – high quality objective data collected in ethical manner UNDP/World Bank/WHO (TDR)/ “Quality practices for regulated non-clinical R&D”
Fundamentals of GLP • GLP • Resources • Organisation, Personnel, Facilities, Equipment • Rules (SOPs and Protocols) • Consistent procedures, Optimise processes, Commitments to quality, Continuity, Training manuals, Reconstruction of study • Characterisation • Test item - receipt, storage, control of use, disposal • Documentation • Raw data, data collection & recording • What? How? When? Who? • Generated data should be identified and record directly, promptly, accurately, legibly and indelibly by the person entering them, and be signed or initialed and dated • Quality Assurance • Protocols and SOPs review, Planning (Master Schedule Sheet), Audits and inspections, Distribution and archiving of QA reports
Fundamentals of GCP • GCP (ICH E6, 21 CFR) • Resources • Personnel have adequate education training and experience • Rules (Protocols) • Consistent procedures, training records • Patient protection – subject has to give individual informed consent • Control of clinical trial material • CTM only to be used under protocol • Receipt, storage, control of use, disposal • Documentation • Raw data, data collection & recording • What? How? When? Who? • Generated data should be identified and record directly, promptly, accurately, legibly and indelibly by the person entering them, and be signed or initialed and dated • Quality Assurance • Site monitoring mandatory • Sponsor or regulatory authority audits
GXPs & Regulatory Submissions • In order for data to be accepted as support for a marketing application: • Data needs to be collected according to GLP and GCP • using GMP product • Needs to be shown in application • Audits and inspections • High enrollers for pivotal studies • Any reason for suspicion • Sponsor or CRO audit
Documents Used in Clinical Trials • Investigator brochure (ICH template) • All information available on drug • Updated throughout development program • Used as basis of package insert • Protocol (ICH template) • Controlled document • Needs regulatory and ethics committee approval • If changed, amendment needs to be approved before being implemented • Procedures manual • Not controlled • Used for site specific, and non-essential details • Informed Consent Document (ICH template) • Sufficient information to “enable” a subject to decide whether to participate or not • Clinical study report (ICH template) • Detailed report of findings from the clinical trial
Clinical Trial Design • Adequate control • Pivotal trials need to be adequately controlled • Blinding • Randomization • Placebo controlled • Comparators • If available, gold standard to be used • Dose comparison • At least two doses of the drug are compared • A dose-comparison study may include additional treatment groups, such as placebo control or active control • Dose-comparison trials usually include randomization and blinding of patients and investigators

Active Responder Randomize All subjects Response Placebo Non-responder Change to clinical trial design • Currently: • In future: Active All subjects Randomize Placebo
Three Common Designs 1. Retrospective • Hypothesis generating; usually needs confirmatory clinical trial(s) • 2. Prospective • a. No possible effect in marker negative group • Test must be available • b. Possible effect in marker negative group • If test not available: benefit/risk must be acceptable for whole population, even if efficacy is driven by marker positive group.
