Marché et Innovation Thérapeutique pour l’Enfant: Exemple du programme de Recherche et Développement VIH pédiatrique de DNDi Marc Lallemant – 25-11-2013
Despite of PMTCT, a stable number of children in need of therapy
Clinton Foundation 2012-2017 forecast Pediatric patient regimens (1L and 2L) in GA countries Still increasing use of AZT and ABC d4T-based regimen share below 30% for the first time in 2012 Note: Forecast scenario assumes continued WHO 2010 guidelines implementation and pro-active switching
PaediatricHIV: So smalla market • FDA/EMA incentiveskicking in • No incentive for generic R&D • High risk of market fragmentation • Too many formulations of the same drugs • Need for consolidated orders to reach manufacturer batch size • Medecine Patent Pool • FDA/WHO Registration ≠ Access • In country regulatory approval • Country program adoption (national guidelines) • Affordability • Efficient supply chain
General considerations for drug dosage forms appropriate for children sufficient bioavailability taking into account children's particularities • Reaching efficacy target (may undergo a maturation process; for antiretrovirals is assumed to be the same as adults) • Below toxicity target (not necessarily well known) nontoxic excipients for age group • Limit of inactive ingredients per the dosing regimen palatable or acceptable organoleptic properties • Taste/Sweetness preference differ around the world acceptable dose uniformity Breitkreutz, J. Boos, Exp. Opin. Drug Deliv. 4: 37-45 (2007)
General considerations for drug dosage forms appropriate for children easy and safe to administer • Flexible dosage: dispersible or chewabletablets, sprinkles, granules • Minimum dosing frequency socio-culturally acceptable (stigmatization) precise and clear product information appropriate for caregivers / setting • Stability in Zone IV climatic conditions (30°C, 65 or 70% RH) • No clean water required for dispensing medication • Heat stable – no refrigeration required Breitkreutz, J. Boos, Exp. Opin. Drug Deliv. 4: 37-45 (2007)
PediatricAntiretroviral Drug Development and Optimization • New drugs (substitution to improve toxicity or increase efficacy) • Reformulation (improve drug bioavailability; stability; acceptability; extended release formulations) • Co-formulation (FDCs or co-blister pack) • Dose adjustment/reduction (reduce toxicity & pill burden/size) • New strategies (eg: induction-maintenance; intensification) • EFV based pediatric FDCs? • Drug manufacturing process (improve API route synthesis and reduce cost) • WHO Treatment 2.0
DNDi: A needdriveninnovative R&D model for neglected patients • Created in 2003 by MSF • Has established in 10 years a very robust pipeline • Uses and renforce the capacity of endemic countries • Importance given to public information and promotion of public leadership for neglected diseases R&D Geneva Headquarters Founding Partners • Malaysian MOH • Oswaldo Cruz Foundation, Brazil • Médecins Sans Frontières • Institut Pasteur France • TDR (permanent observer) • Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) • Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) Japan USA India DRC Malaysia Kenya Brazil 7 worldwide offices

6 New Treatments Developed Since 2007 • Easy to Use Affordable Field-Adapted Non-Patented
From NVP to LPV/r based first-lines! LPV/r + 2 NRTIs NVP based ART FDCs available Baby and junior dosing Scored tablets Can be crushed/dispersed Easy dosing • Liquid only currently • Bitter taste • Neurotoxic excipients • 42% ethanol • 15% propylene glycol • Needs cold chain • Heavy to carry, hard to hide • Difficult dosing • Need for RTV super-boosting in TB/HIV co-infection
DNDi Paediatric HIV Program Objectives Develop two solid first-line LPV/r-based fixed-dose combinations (FDC) with two NRTIs, 3TC plus ABC or AZT. • Well taste masked • Heat-stable without refrigeration, long shelf life • single strength for dosing throughout weight bands Develop complementary granule of RTV to be added to the 4-in-1 LPV/r based FDCs during HIV and tuberculosis treatment • 4:1 1:1 LPV/RTV ratio when on RIF
DNDi Initial Explorations • Nano particles • Nano dispersions • Encouraging PK in animals • Poor taste; 5 years minimum time line (NCE) Original LPV and RTV formulations were alcohol based oral solutions and soft gel capsules (Abbott) Replaced for adults and older children with LPV/r tablets (Abbott) • Soluble polymer (copovidone) • Tablets cannot be used in young children as crushed they loose up to 50% bioavailability Alternative options • Prodrugs (eg. RTV)
Ratios, strengths, weight bands • ZDV:glucuronyltransferase+ renal excretion • 3TC: 5% transsulfoxide; unchanged renal elimination • ABC: alcohol dehydrogenase and glucuronyltransferase • LPV: Oxidation by CYP3A enzymes WHO weight bands dosing is a compromise using existing formulations Assembling drugs with different metabolic pathways and maturation kinetics
