• Advocacy forum for the industry to influence the FDA (PhRMA – America)
• Drug Metabolism Technical Group (DMTG)
– Subgroup responsible for DMPK issues
– (MIST, DDI, pharmacogenomics, time-dependent inhibition)1
– Nov 2007, transporters identified as a key topic
• Academic group headed by Kathy Giacomini and Toshi Ishikawa were considering initiating a
global committee to generate a white paper providing preferred approaches to conduct
transporter studies

Transporters
 Key goals for the ITC
• Provide an update on current thinking on transporters.
• For in vitro studies, provide a focus on studies that can have a viable clinical interpretation (avoid
raising red flags with in vitro studies that cannot be addressed in vivo in the clinic).
• Explore gaps and suggest ways forward.
• Provide a coordinated approach (Academia, Industry and Regulatory).
• Help to move the science forward.
– Decision trees to assist drug development and regulatory
– Consensus on current scientific status

Current issues?
Decision Trees
 Pros
• evolution of concepts
• highlight discussion points
• offers flexibility
 Cons
• rigid interpretation – prescriptive and overly cautious
• insufficient knowledge to populate the decision points
• lack of selective substrates and inhibitors
 ‘The evolution and appropriate application of these decision trees will require constant monitoring. How can this be
achieved with an assured and encompassing measure of success?’
NEDMDG, March 2010
18
Decision Trees - Current issue with P-gp?
 False Positives (unnecessary clinical studies)
 Alert for [I]1/IC50 ≥ 0.1 or [I]2/IC50 ≥10,
– [I]1 is steady-state total Cmax at the highest clinical dose
– [I]2 is the GI concentration calculated as dose (mg)/250 mL
 [I]2/IC50 > 10 will be exceeded at a dose of ~12 mg for a drug with an inhibition potency
of ~10 µM in vitro (MW ~ 500).
 False Negatives (safety concerns)
NEDMDG, March 2010
19
White Paper - What it is
 A consensus view on the current thinking on drug transporters
• What are the current realities
 The known knowns
• What do we know about the relative importance of all transporters?
• Where do you put your effort?
 The known unknowns
• What facts are known to be untrue (dispelling myths)?
• Where are our gaps in knowledge (so where should we focus short and long term to increase our
knowledge)?
 A guideline (not a guidance) towards what we should focus on currently
• What are we capable of addressing?
NEDMDG, March 2010
20
White Paper - What it is not
 A complete literature review.
 A prescriptive guidance on what to do and how to do it, with a clear description of what it will mean.
 A consensus document that everyone agrees to.
 A description of all of the exceptions.
• Your experience is important to you and we would certainly appreciate you sharing that with the
scientific community to educate us all.
 The decision trees are clearly not definitive.
• Included to help move the science forward by acting as templates for discussion
• P-gp most mature but not perfect
NEDMDG, March 2010
21
What are some of the current issues?
The issues presented by transporters are significantly more complex than for DMEs
 Involved in absorption, distribution and excretion, so multiple processes of concern
 Broad tissue distribution; different effects at different sites, e.g. P-gp at intestine and BBB
 Redundancy; different transporters (P-gp and BCRP) and different subfamilies (OATP1B1 and 1B3)
 Uptake and efflux transporters (need to consider both to assess the overall effect)
 Applicability of kinetic parameters and their interpretation
NEDMDG, March 2010
22
Transporter Interaction
Redundancy:
 Drugs that are shown to
interact with one transporter
typically interact with
multiple transporters.
 Thus, multiple pathways
for clearance are possible for
transporter substrates.

Lack of selective inhibitors of drug transporters
1999
• LY 335979 (zosuquidar) is a potent
inhibitor/modulator of P-gp, but does
not inhibit MRP1 or MRP2.
1999 – 2003
• Discovery, cloning, and publication of
OATP superfamily of uptake transporters
[References 2-5]
• Selectivity over inhibition of CYP3A4 is
~60-fold.

• OATP1B1-mediated uptake of anticancer
drugs gimatecan and BNP1350 were inhibited
by zosuquidar.
• The effect of modulators on the plasma
pharmacokinetics of OATP1B1 substrate
drugs may not be solely ascribed to inhibition
of P-gp

Can digoxin be used as a clinical P-gp probe substrate?
Fenner et al. (2009) CPT 85, 173-181
 Narrow therapeutic window of digoxin requires close monitoring
 Abundant digoxin clinical DDI study data – especially for relatively new drugs
 Digoxin currently viewed as the “gold standard” probe for studying clinical P-gp–related DDIs
•
recent data may indicate that digoxin interacts with other transporters; OATPs

Question 1
For evaluation of NMEs as potential substrates of transporters:
a. Do you agree that P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1/1B3, OAT1/3 and OCT2 are the major
transporters that should be routinely evaluated based on the proposed flow chart
during drug development? [VOTING]
b. What transporter(s) should be included in the flow chart for routine study and why?
c. What alternative criteria would you suggest to identify transporters that would have
clinical significance and should be studied?
32
Question 2
For evaluation of NMEs as potential inhibitors of transporters:
a. Do you agree that P-gp, BCRP, OATP1B1/1B3, OAT1/3 and OCT2 are the major
transporters that should be routinely evaluated based on the proposed flow chart
during drug development? [VOTING]
b. What transporter(s) should be included in the flow chart for routine study and why?
c. What alternative criteria would you suggest to identify transporters that would have
clinical significance and should be studied?
33
FDA advisory Board Meeting:
ASCPT Conference: Atlanta, March 2010
FDA brought to the committee several voting questions ……..
…the panel voted 12-4 that P-glycoprotein, BCRP and OATP1B1/1B3, OAT 1/3 and OCT 2
are the major transporters that mediate DDI and all NME should routinely be evaluated ….
as substrates for these transporters….
Those voting no agreed the proposed transporters are reasonable, but cited the absence of
appropriate tools to conduct the studies. "Throwing this out there to the pharmaceutical
industry, it's just not ready for prime time yet. We need more tools," argued Gregory
Kearns, Children's Mercy Hospitals & Clinics of Kansas City, Mo.
Jerry Collins of the National Cancer Institute agreed, saying it would be better to invest in
developing the tools - which garnered concurrence from other committee members.
Citing the burden on industry, Howard McLeod, University of North Carolina, also
suggested that "in the future, every time we want to add something, we should also identify
something we want to take away."
Caldwell, who supported the expanded testing, said "the tools are coming, and quickly,"
while Thummel, another proponent of the testing, contended that the preclinical tools are
available.
The vote was 11-5 on a question of routinely evaluating all NMEs as inhibitors of the same
transporters

 White paper will need to be updated (timeline?)
 White paper provides framework for FDA to add to current guidance(s) – DDI
 Emphasizes the need for flexibility
• which provides some realistic challenges for regulatory agencies
 Has identified areas of highest immediate need
• decision trees for other transporters
• relevance of unbound drug concentrations
 Never intended to be a panacea
 Focus group for collating new data
NEDMDG, March 2010
36
Moving Forward
 Committee of FDA and Pharma
• Lei Zhang ([email protected] ) and Donald Tweedie ([email protected] )
 Main committee with sub-committees for specific topics
• Identify experts for different transporters
• Identify experts for selected topics (P-gp and digoxin, kinetics)
 Outcome
• Provide feedback on discussions, action items
• Make recommendations
– change current practices
– monitor specific practices
• Publish mini-white papers
