Phase-I Phase I is the phase that includes the First-In-Human (FIH) trials within a small trial population (typically <50 patients). The tested range of doses will usually be a fraction of the dose (1/100) that caused harm in animal tests. Comprises safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics/dose ranging studies. These studies are often conducted in healthy volunteers, but in some indications (for example, oncology) they can include patients. Phase I trials are usually conducted in a clinical trial clinic, where the subject can be observed by full-time staff. These clinical trial clinics are often run by CROs who conduct these studies on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. Phase I trials are subdivided into: Phase Ia: In single ascending dose studies (SAD), small groups of subjects (3-5) are given a single dose of the drug. If they do not exhibit any adverse side effects, and the pharmacokinetic data are in line with predicted safe values, the dose is escalated (X2), and a new group of subjects is then given a higher dose. This is continued until pre-calculated pharmacokinetic safety levels are reached, or intolerable side effects start showing up (the drug is said to have reached the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). TGN1412, a monoclonal antibody is a TCR-independent agonist binding to CD28 present at the surface of CD4+ T-cells. The phase-I trial conducted by Parexel was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, with two of the eight subjects receiving a placebo, and six receiving 0.1 mg per kg (1/500th of the highest dose found safe in preclinical experiments with macaques). Within half an hour all six subjects experienced a catastrophic systemic organ failure corresponding to a cytokine release syndrome resulting in angioedema, swelling of skin and mucous membranes. The therapeutic Index is a comparison of the amount of a therapeutic agent that causes the therapeutic effect to the amount that causes toxicity. A phase-I trial is not designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect Phase I trials are subdivided into: Phase Ib: In multiple ascending doses studies (MAD), a group of subjects receives multiple low doses of the drug, while samples (of blood, urine …) are collected at various time points and analyzed to acquire information on how the drug is processed within the body. The dose is subsequently escalated. Dose levels and dosing frequency are chosen in order to achieve steady state therapeutic drug levels. Phase-II Phase II trials are aimed at evaluating the candidate drug’s efficacy in a patient population, leading up to clinical proof of concept (PoC). Phase II trials are also subdivided into Phase IIa and Phase IIb: • Phase IIa studies are generally smaller (typically <200 patients) and designed to mainly address early evidence of drug activity and to assess dosing requirements. • Phase IIb studies include larger numbers of patients (typically <400 patients) and are designed to demonstrate clinical proof of concept and an understanding of dose response. Genetic testing for polymorphic metabolism enzymes (Cyp2D6 or 2C9…), are performed particularly when there is evidence of variation in metabolic rate between individuals. Phase II clinical trials of ADX10059 (mGluR5 allosteric inhibitor) in Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Phase IIa trial: Two days single-blind study in 24 patients. Objectives: evaluate the effect of a single dose using continuous 24-hour pH recording in the lower esophagus, and on the occurrence of patient-recorded clinical symptoms of GERD. Phase IIb trial: Two weeks of administration twice daily in 103 GERD patients. Objectives: evaluate the effects on esophageal function and reflux events using impedance pH monitoring and esophageal manometry. Phase-III Phase III trials are designed to assess the effectiveness of the new drug and its value in clinical practice. Phase III studies are randomized trials involving large patient groups (300–3,000 or more depending upon the disease and the end points). Due to the difficulty in recruiting patients, they are in general multicenter trials. Phase-III represent the definitive assessment of how effective the drug is, in comparison with the current reference treatment (or a placebo if no approved reference treatment is available). This assessment is based on the achievement of predetermined end-points: “Results, condition or events associated with individual study patients that are used to assess study treatments”. (FDA) Primary end point: single endpoint parameter that will define the success or the failure of the drug. Secondary end point(s): other endpoints pre-specified, may be powered for hypothesis testing Direct Endpoints (FDA) All drugs have safety risks. Therefore, the only reason that a patient would want to take a drug would be if the drug: – improved survival – resulted in a benefit that was detectable by the patient (improvement in symptoms, in functional capacity), or – decreased the chances of developing a condition or disease complication that is itself apparent to the patient and is undesirable (e.g. stroke). Therefore, a primary endpoint should be a direct measure of one of these. A primary endpoint should generally not be a measure of something that is not important to the patient. (exception: validated surrogate endpoint). Surrogate endpoint – used instead of direct endpoint – Ideally, the surrogate parameter should exist within the therapeutic pathway between the drug and meaningful benefit – i.e. the drug results in the therapeutic benefit by virtue of its effect on the surrogate parameter. Changes induced by a therapy on a surrogate endpoint are expected to reflect changes in a clinically meaningful endpoint ex hepatitis C: SVR-24 Sustained Viral Response (Detection of HCV RNA negative 24 weeks after the end of treatment). Hepatitis C Natural History The full evolution of the disease takes 20 to 40 years it is impossible to evaluate the success of a therapy on direct clinical end-points. http://www.sciencedirect.com.doc-distant.univ-lille2.fr/science/article/pii/S1521691812000923 Goal of hepatitis C treatment : Primary end-point SVR 24: Detection of HCV RNA negative 24 weeks after 48 weeks of treatment. Surrogate endpoint – used instead of direct endpoint – Ideally, the surrogate should exist within the therapeutic pathway between the drug and meaningful benefit – i.e. the drug results in the therapeutic benefit by virtue of its effect on the surrogate Changes induced by a therapy on a surrogate endpoint are expected to reflect changes in a clinically meaningful endpoint • ex Cholesterol LDL Reduction as primary endpoint as opposed to a reduction in CV morbidity or mortality Phase-II: “A single-blind, placebocontrolled study to examine the effects of torcetrapib, a potent inhibitor of CETP, on plasma lipoprotein levels in 19 subjects with low levels of HDL cholesterol” Phase-III: “A randomized, double-blind study involving 15,067 patients at high cardiovascular risk. The patients received either torcetrapib plus atorvastatin or atorvastatin alone. The primary outcome was the time to the first major cardiovascular event.” The trial was terminated prematurely because of an increased risk of death and cardiac events in patients receiving torcetrapib. Kaplan–Meier Curves for the Primary Composite Outcome Phase-III: “A randomized, double-blind study involving 15,067 patients at high cardiovascular risk. The patients received either torcetrapib plus atorvastatin or atorvastatin alone. The primary outcome was the time to the first major cardiovascular event.” Because of their size and comparatively long duration, Phase III trials are the most expensive, time-consuming and difficult trials to design and run, especially in therapies for chronic medical conditions.

The review covered projects from all therapeutic areas that had been active, from the phases following the completion of preclinical research through to the end of clinical testing in Phase II. The key aims of the review were to understand the major reasons for project closure and to identify the features of projects that correlated with successful outcomes. Transition through proof of concept (Phase II) is the area with the highest rate of attrition. In addition, it was significant lower for Astra zenecca. Success was defined as the percentage of projects that moved from the indicated phase to the next phase. NATURE REVIEWS | DRUG DISCOVERY VOLUME 13 | JUNE 2014 | 419 Safety was the major reason for project closure in Preclinical phase (82%). Efficacy was the major reason for project closure in phase IIb (88%). NATURE REVIEWS | DRUG DISCOVERY VOLUME 13 | JUNE 2014 | 419 Safety Safety: target organs Major organ systems involved in preclinical and clinical safety closures. Safety: on-target versus off-target During preclinical testing, 75% of safety closures were compound-related (due to ‘off-target’ actions other than at the primary pharmacological Target) By contrast, the proportion of target-related safety closures rose substantially in the clinical phase and was responsible for almost half of the safety-related project closures. Late failures were often due to a collapse in the predicted margins between efficacious doses and safety outcomes Incidence of the level of confidence in preclinical safety profile Projects with preclinical often Level of confidence that safety teams signals had in their closed owing to safety issues in the clinic. preclinical safety profile. Projects with minimal preclinical safety signals rarely failed as a result of clinical safety issues. Lack of efficacy Efficacy was the major reason for project closure in phase IIb (88%), where costs are the highest. NATURE REVIEWS | DRUG DISCOVERY VOLUME 13 | JUNE 2014 | 419 Reasons for lack of clinical efficacy 1/ Target linkage to disease not established 40% of failed projects lacked data demonstrating: a clear linkage of the target to the disease or access to a well-validated animal model of the disease. Projects that showed genetic target linkage to the disease or a strong understanding of the role of the target in the disease etiology were less likely to fail owing to a lack of efficacy. 1/ Target linkage to disease not established Human linkage data (even if functional) may not be fully predictive of the validity of a target. For example, a naturally occurring human variant of the CCR5 gene (CCR5-Δ32), producing a non-functional receptor, was negatively associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Preclinical models also supported the therapeutic potential of this approach. Nevertheless, several CCR5 antagonists failed to show clinical benefit in patients despite achieving exposure at the target . 1/ Target linkage to disease not established Availability of efficacy biomarkers at the start of Phase II is a strong predictor of success (82% versus 29%). 2/ Dose limited by compound characteristics AZD3778, a dual CCR3 and H1-antagonist was developed for the treatment of asthma. AZD3778 inhibits the binding of a CCR3 radioligand, to the CCR3-receptor expressed on CHO-cells with an IC50 of 8 nM. From in vitro experiments on whole blood, of AZD3778, the A2 (the concentration required to produce a two-fold shift of the agonist response) for CCR3 was 200 nM due to Plasma Protein Binding. In a proof-of-principle clinical trial, AZD 3778 had undesirable pharmacokinetic properties with high protein binding and a much shorter half-life than expected in humans. 3/ Indication selected does not fit strongest preclinical evidence Confidence in patient selection in Phase II-b: High confidence in patient selection positively correlated (90%) with active projects in Phase IIb, whereas low confidence in patient selection correlated with project closures in the same phase owing to a lack of clinical efficacy Key factors underlying project failures five key technical factors (the five Rs) were identified as substantial contributors to project failures. the right target: the strength and quality of target validation the right tissue: demonstration of target engagement the right safety: reasonable safety margins the right patient: patient stratification plans the right commercial potential: the medical value proposition. Right target: the importance of solid biological and disease understanding: Direct evidence of target linkage to human disease, Genetic evidence from animal models, Understanding the biology underpinning the target and/or disease aetiology, Confidence in preclinical and clinical data generated using animal models, Data generated with tool compounds in the preclinical or clinical setting, Validated efficacy biomarkers. Right target: the importance of solid biological and disease understanding: Preclinical data on anticoagulants intended to treat thrombosis or acute coronary syndrome have a high level of confidence: previous clinical experience known validity and translation of the models, confidence in the data generated from preclinical models By contrast, target confidence in oncology, is low because based on screens with or poor translation to clinical outcomes Such as subcutaneous tumour xenograft models that do not accurately replicate the human disease: they often use immunocompromised animals; the human tumour material is not introduced at the site of its primary source; and, for many patients with cancer, morbidity is due to metastatic disease rather than the primary tumour. Right tissue: appropriate pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) modelling Demonstration in both preclinical and clinical models, that the candidate drug achieved exposure in the target organ and achieved sufficient pharmacological activity. Appropriate understanding of PK/PD pharmacokinetic properties, together with the target engagement and pharmacological activity relative to the target organ. Right tissue: appropriate pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) The greatest challenge occurs when the pharmacological target and blood are separated by a barrier, such as the blood– brain barrier. The use of imaging techniques, particularly position emission tomography (PET), to understand the relationship between blood exposure, brain receptor occupancy and efficacy has been effective in the development of CNS-active drugs. The use of biomarkers as inclusion or exclusion criteria, for enrolling patients into clinical studies has increased dramatically since the sequencing of the human genome. A REMS proposal may be required for New Drug Applications (NDAs), Biologic License Applications (BLAs), Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs), When “a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy is necessary to ensure that the benefits of the drug involved outweigh the risks of the drug.” The drug, which has been shown to be effective, but is associated with a serious adverse drug experience, can be approved only if, or would be withdrawn unless, such elements are required as part of the REMS “Elements to ensure safe use” may require that • Health care providers who prescribe the drug have particular training or experience or are specially certified. • Pharmacies, practitioners, or health care settings that dispense the drug are specially certified • The drug be dispensed to patients only in certain health care settings, such as hospitals. • The drug be dispensed to patients with evidence or other documentation of safe use conditions, such as lab results (ie pregnancy test). • Each patient using the drug be subject to certain monitoring • Each patient using the drug be enrolled in a registry 105 Alvimopan is a peripherally acting μ-opioid antagonist. With limited ability to cross the blood–brain barrier, many of the undesirable side-effects of the opioid agonists such as constipation are minimized without affecting analgesia. Alvimopan accelerates the gastrointestinal recovery period and is approved for the treatment of postoperative ileus. ENTEREG is available only to hospitals that perform surgeries that include a bowel resection and dispensed by pharmacies that are enrolled in the E.A.S.E. ENTEREG REMS Program. This program is designed to ensure that ENTEREG is used in accordance with the FDA-approved label and requires that: • The E.A.S.E.
