Sepsis and Severe SepsisSepsis and Severe Sepsis
• SepsisSepsis is a syndrome characterized by host is a syndrome characterized by host systemic inflammatory and procoagulant systemic inflammatory and procoagulant responses (SIRS) to pathogensresponses (SIRS) to pathogens
• An intense host response may lead to organ An intense host response may lead to organ dysfunction; this is designated dysfunction; this is designated severe sepsissevere sepsis
• The mortality rate in severe sepsis remains The mortality rate in severe sepsis remains high despite appropriate antibiotic and high despite appropriate antibiotic and supportive therapysupportive therapy

Activation of Inflammation and Coagulation Activation of Inflammation and Coagulation in Severe Sepsisin Severe Sepsis
• Activation of coagulation occurs early in severe Activation of coagulation occurs early in severe sepsis and is associated with:sepsis and is associated with:– Increased thrombin generation and fibrin formationIncreased thrombin generation and fibrin formation– Impaired fibrinolysisImpaired fibrinolysis– Depletion of key regulatory proteins (eg, Protein C Depletion of key regulatory proteins (eg, Protein C
and antithrombin)and antithrombin)– Decreased capacity to activate Protein CDecreased capacity to activate Protein C– Systemic inflammation resulting from activation of Systemic inflammation resulting from activation of

Rationale for Use of Activated Protein C in Rationale for Use of Activated Protein C in Patients with Severe SepsisPatients with Severe Sepsis
• Pathophysiology of sepsis–infection, inflammation, Pathophysiology of sepsis–infection, inflammation, and coagulation activation are tightly linkedand coagulation activation are tightly linked
• Multiple mechanisms of action of Activated Protein C Multiple mechanisms of action of Activated Protein C may disrupt the linkage between inflammation and may disrupt the linkage between inflammation and coagulation resulting in improved survivalcoagulation resulting in improved survival
• Baboon Baboon E coli E coli sepsis model suggests critical role of sepsis model suggests critical role of Activated Protein C for survivalActivated Protein C for survival
• Activated Protein C is preferred because the patient's Activated Protein C is preferred because the patient's ability to convert Protein C in vivo may be impairedability to convert Protein C in vivo may be impaired

• F1K-MC-EVAD tested one primary hypothesis - results show that drotrecogin alfa (activated) significantly reduces mortality in population of patients defined by inclusion/exclusion criteria
• Caution should be exercised in interpreting individual exploratory subgroup results (multiplicity, natural variability, supportive evidence)
• No clear evidence to support a differential effect of drotrecogin alfa (activated) by disease severity

Rationale for Pediatric Development ProgramRationale for Pediatric Development Program
• Provide guidance to pediatric intensivists– If approved, drotrecogin alfa (activated) will be
used in pediatric patients with severe sepsis
• Development program based on:– ICH guidelines– Code of Federal Regulations – Collaboration with FDA
6340.03
Majority of drugs used by pediatric intensivistsMajority of drugs used by pediatric intensivists are not approved for use in pediatric patients are not approved for use in pediatric patients

Where the course of the disease and the effects of the drug are sufficiently similar in adult and pediatric patients, FDA may conclude that pediatric effectiveness can be extrapolated from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults usually supplemented with other information obtained in pediatric patients such as pharmacokinetic studies.

Conclusions from Pediatric StudiesConclusions from Pediatric Studies
• Pediatric patients are similar to adults based upon– Similar inclusion criteria– Presence of coagulopathy
• Effect of drotrecogin alfa (activated) is similar in adult and pediatric patients– PK of drotrecogin alfa (activated)– PD effect of drotrecogin alfa (activated) on D-dimer– Safety profile
• Results of the pediatric study support drotrecogin alfa (activated) use in pediatric patients with severe sepsis– Extrapolation of efficacy results from Phase 3 study F1K-MC-
EVAD in adult patients with severe sepsis
