Outline
1
Two Documents to Perpend
  • Pharmacogenomic Data Submissions – Guidance
  • Drug-Diagnostic Co-Development Concept Paper – Preliminary Concept Paper
2
Two Documents
  • CDER documents
  • CDRH and CBER partnership
  • Broad application to diagnostics
3
PDS
  • When to submit pharmacogenomic data
  • What format and content
  • How and when data used in decision making
4
Pharmacogenomics
  • Use of pharmacogenomic or pharmacogenetic tests in conjunction with drug therapy
  • PGS guidance relates to test evaluation during drug development
  • In contrast to co-development
  • Same message – don't forget the diagnostic; think early
5
Valid Biomarkers
  • Analytical test system well developed
  • Scientific framework for use well developed
6
Probable Valid Biomarker
  • Predictive value apparent
  • Not widely or independently accepted
7
Value of Process
  • Inform FDA of issues
  • Inform sponsors of questions
  • Facilitate development of knowledge, policies, guidances
8
Formats -- flexible
  • Articles
  • Using public standards for data display (Minimum Information about a Microarray Experiment or MIAME)
  • Full report on experiment
9
Distinction
  • Mandatory
  • Voluntary
  • Independent Pharmacogenomic Review Group (IPRG)
  • Firewall from review staff
  • CDRH involvement
10
IPRG
  • Rules of engagement
  • Growing experience
  • Heterogeneity to interests and needs
  • Outcomes on target
11
Co-Development
  • Tri-center effort
  • Eye on the ball – clinical use not development
  • Selection not dosing
  • Drug-diagnostics in general not genomic
12
Review History
  • Estrogen receptor
  • Her 2 test
  • EGFR
13
Learn From Past
  • Analytical performance
  • Clinical performance – validity and utility
14
Analytical Performance
  • Device description
  • Analytical studies
  • Software and instrumentation
  • Bottom line – lock in performance
  • Use analytical information and feasibility studies to plan experiments to establish clinical performance
15
Clinical Validity
  • Not different than existing guidance
  • CLSI
  • STARD initiative
  • OSB statistical guidance
16
Clinical Validity
  • Clinical sensitivity
  • Clinical specificity
  • Predictive values
  • Likelihood and odds ratios
17
Clinical Validity
  • Diagnostic performance
  • Drug performance
  • Two are independent but linked
  • Addendum to demonstrate that drug efficacy affects predictive value of diagnostic results
18
Clinical Utility
  • Quite new and unique
  • Cross-walk between CDER and CDRH
  • Highlights need for concurrent studies
19
Clinical Utility
  • Allows for different approaches
  • Blind to diagnostic
  • Use diagnostic to select (beguiling allows for enrichment)
20
Phase 3 Studies
  • Ideal time to study drug and diagnostic
  • Ideal time to collect invaluable samples
  • Ideal time to learn if diagnostic makes a difference
  • Not the only time
21
Concept Paper
  • Work in progress
  • Sections unvetted
  • Administrative sections on dual processes
  • Extensive insight into labeling options
22
Work Plan
  • Obtain comments
  • Publish draft guidance
  • Obtain comments
23
Work Plan
  • Publish final guidance
  • Workshops along the way???
  • Improve connectivity to IVD industry
24
Good News
  • Timing is right for input from industry
  • CDER. CBER and CDRH can work together; co-review; pull off administrative coordination
  • Agency has developed worked groups to share knowledge and explore review policy and practices
25
Bad News
  • Tought stuff
  • No material or method standards
  • Complex and nuanced biology
  • Complex business (financial) issues
  • Daunting educational challenges for use of new technology
26
Good Science
  • Driving forces in private sector
  • Driving forces in government (FDA critical path)
  • CDRH user fee hires have provided new review strength – AmpliChip; CF multiplex system
  • Broad regulatory tool box to draw from
