Stages of CPB Review NDA Review Label Action Letter
What is the effect of intrinsic factors on exposure ? How was the dose determined ? What is the effect of extrinsic factors on exposure ? What is the exposure response relationship ? NDA Review Are the pk dose proportional ? Label Has the drug been tested for its potential for cardiac repolarization ? Action Letter Are the in-vitro QC data appropriate ? Is the pivotal BE study needed ? Are extrinsic/intrinsic factors represented in the definitive clinical trials Stages of CPB Review: NDA Review
Should there be dose adjustment due to intrinsic factors ? What doses should be approved ? NDA Review What is the optimal dosing regimen ? Label Should there be dose adjustment due to extrinsic factors ? Action Letter What should the label state regarding the QT effects of the drug ? Do the extrinsic/intrinsic factors need Precautions, Warnings or Contraindications ? Stages of CPB Review: Label
Stages of CPB Review: Recommendations and Action Letter NDA Review Label Action Letter approval, approval with Phase IV, approvable, non-approval
Case Studies Drug A : Optimizing dose and dosing regimen Drug B : Dose selection and dose adjustment
Drug A NDA: Injection formulationDose finding over a short term period (X days)NDA primary efficacy over about 3X days Observation: Loss of efficacy over time
Drug ADosing: Day 1, Day 15, Day 29, q Day 29 Trough Drug Concentrations vs Time in Days
0 10 20 30 40 50 100 0 100 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 Drug A Drug concentration at Days 29, 57, 113, 169 Day 113 Day 169 Day 29 Subject Day 57
Drug A Observation: Loss of efficacy over time Simulations suggest higher or frequent doses could achieve and maintain therapeutic drug concentrations based on E/R relationship Conclusions: Need for appropriate dose and dosing regimen selection
Drug B • Mix of real issues from >1 drug……Drug B • NDA: New drug • Critical issues related to exposure/response: - dose selection - dose adjustment due to intrinsic/extrinsic factors
Drug B Dose Response Relationship(Phase II/III) Dose related AEs Dose related QT effects
Extrinsic factor Intrinsic factor Exposure Changes: Extrinsic/Intrinsic Factors Concentration Time ………dose adjustment
Drug B • Exposure/response analysis suggested that more than one dose should be considered to provide optimal balance between safety and efficacy • Based on changes in exposure due to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, dosage adjustment was recommended in the label
Drug B • Considering these outcomes early in drug development can help plan appropriate CPB studies (e.g. DDI) • Based on exposure changes due to extrinsic and intrinsic factors, sponsors may consider additional strengths for marketing (e.g. lower strengths if DDI studies support lower doses)
Lessons Learned • Case Studies : - dose and dosing regimen optimization - dose selection and dose adjustment • Careful and timely consideration of exposure/response relationship during drug development • Emphasis on exposure response analysis for both safety and efficacy, rather than efficacy alone
