HIV-1 Resistance Testing in Drug Development Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee Meeting November 2-3, 1999
Introduction • Implications of HIV drug resistance • Patient management perspective • Drug development perspective • Meeting Goals • Origin of meeting • Session objectives • Acknowledgments
Implications of HIV Drug Resistance (1) Clinical Management Perspective • Critical factor affecting safe and effective use of therapeutics for HIV • One of the important causes of treatment failure • Limits options for alternative regimens • Exposes patients to risk of drug-induced toxicity without potential benefit • Public health problem of transmission of resistant virus raises additional issues
Implications of HIV Drug Resistance (2) Drug Development Perspective • Complicates interpretation of trial results • Limited understanding of why patients respond or fail combination therapy in clinical trials • Limits ability to test new drugs in patient population with greatest need (heavily pretreated) • Limits ability to provide advice on the optimal use of a new drug in labeling
What are some current limitations? • Diverse methodologies in genotypic and phenotypic testing & uncertain correlation • No approved assays • No uniform requirements for resistance characterization in drug development or post-marketing • Lack of consensus regarding clinical utility and interpretation of testing • Incomplete understanding of relationship with cofactors
HIV Resistance Testing in Drug Development: Meeting Goals • Define what is known and what needs further study • Reliability of assays, interpretation of results, and strength for predicting treatment outcome • Discuss approaches for defining “resistance” (mutational algorithms, breakpoints) now, and in the future • Discuss standardized methods for analyzing data • Obtain guidance on use of resistance testing in drug development • Discuss what future initiatives should be undertaken to encourage progress
Development of Meeting • Charge from Advisory Committee Chair • Identification of some common goals with industry-sponsored “HIV Resistance Collaborative Group” • Broader solicitation of relevant information and perspective • Iterative approach to developing agenda (issue identification was a goal in itself!)
HIV Resistance Collaborative GroupRepresentation • Pharmaceutical companies • Diagnostic companies • ACTG virology/statistics/clinical trials • Academicians • European Health Authorities • FDA (CDER, CBER, CDRH) • Community
Federal Register Announcement • Notification of meeting • Request for: • Data on the relationship of HIV mutation development and changes in susceptibility • Prospective or retrospective data on relationship between genotype or phenotype and clinical outcome • Proposals for resistance testing in clinical trials • Proposals for product labeling claims
Meeting Format • Scientific workshop • Not product specific • No voting issues • Modular • Each session has specific objectives and points for committee discussion • Invited presentations selected to provide relevant background for discussion • Common theme for each session: recommendations for progress
Objectives - Session 1:Resistance Technology • General principles, and exploration of performance characteristics of currently available genotypic & phenotypic assays • Limitations • Quality control issues • Correlation between genotype and phenotype • Role of assays in drug development • Update on proposed approach to assay regulation (CBER)
Objectives - Session 2:Clinical Validation • Explore predictive value of baseline genotype or phenotype and treatment outcome • Prospective trials • Retrospective analyses using a common analysis plan • Discuss approaches for categorizing and analyzing resistance patterns • Identify additional clinical research to further define clinical utility
Objectives - Session 3:Practical Considerations • Identify patient populations for whom resistance testing in drug development is most useful • Explore other factors to consider when resistance testing is incorporated into clinical trials
Objectives - Session 4:Potential Roles in Drug Development • Obtain guidance on in vitro and clinical data necessary to characterize resistance and cross-resistance potential • Obtain guidance on post-marketing evaluation of resistance • Feedback on potential scenarios for use of resistance testing to support regulatory claims
