The ICH S6 Guidance CoverageThe ICH S6 Guidance Coverage “Preclinical Testing of Biotechnology-Derived Pharmaceuticals”

– Two species see Olson (2000) Reg. Toxicol. Pharm., 32:56-67

– Use relevant over non-relevant species Mechanism of safety/efficacy distinct form small molecules Demonstrate appropriateness

– Animal models (disease/TG-XO) may provide meaningful insight– Immunogenicity testing and its implications– Genotoxicity testing

Generally not appropriate– Chronic toxicity testing

see Clarke J et al (in press) Reg. Toxicol. Pharm.– Carcinogenicity testing

Generally unnecessary unless growth factor or immunosuppressive

Species SelectionSpecies Selection

Goal: Identify most appropriate rodent and non-rodent species for safety evaluations

Appropriate means what?– Not the cheapest, the smallest, the easiest…– Best model scientifically for the human biology– Suitable for safety assessment studies

What Does FDA Expect from Nonclinical Studies?What Does FDA Expect from Nonclinical Studies?

Pharmacology– proposed mechanism of action– identification of secondary pharmacologic effects– Proof of Concept studies for serious indications

Safety Pharmacology– effects on neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, renal, and

gastrointestinal systems – abuse liability

What Does FDA Expect from Nonclinical Studies?What Does FDA Expect from Nonclinical Studies?

Pharmacokinetics– comparison of ADME in species used for toxicology studies– identification of bioaccumulation potential– identification of potential differences in gender

– generation of PK parameters, e.g., Cmax, Tmax, AUC(o-inf.), half life

Page 23: Drug Development Lynnda Reid, Ph.D. Pharmacology/Toxicology Reviewer Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) Rafael Ponce, Ph.D., DABT Senior Scientist

What Does FDA Expect What Does FDA Expect in General Toxicology Studies?in General Toxicology Studies?

Acute and repeat toxicology studies in two species

Duration of repeat dose nonclinical studies should be at least equal or greater than the duration of the proposed clinical study

A control and at least 3 drug concentrations

– identification of the NOAEL and high-dose multiple toxicity

– identify shape of the dose-response curve

Doses/systemic exposure should exceed clinical dose/exposure

See also ICH M3

Page 24: Drug Development Lynnda Reid, Ph.D. Pharmacology/Toxicology Reviewer Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) Rafael Ponce, Ph.D., DABT Senior Scientist

What Does FDA Expect What Does FDA Expect in General Toxicology Studies?in General Toxicology Studies?

Formulation should be the same as the clinical formulation

Route of exposure:

– should be the same as clinical route

– additional routes of exposure may be needed to achieve systemic toxicity

Histopathology examination of all animals and standard tissues

Lymphoproliferative tissues should be assessed for unintended effects on the immune system

Questions Asked byQuestions Asked by Review Pharmacologist/Toxicologist Review Pharmacologist/Toxicologist

Validity of study design: – Was the appropriate animal model used?– Were dose(s) and duration sufficient to support

the proposed clinical study or labeling?– Were adequate systemic exposures achieved? – Was the route of administration relevant to

clinical used?

More Questions:More Questions:

Did the test system exhibit any effects? Were the effects treatment-related? Are the effects biologically significant? Are the effects reversible? Are the effects clinically relevant? Can the effects be monitored clinically?

HypothesisHypothesis

• Free [A2] dimer (rFXIII) may be activate in vivo (does not exist naturally)

• rFXIIIa can cross-link plasma fibrinogen and other proteins

• Cross-linked complexes can accumulate

• Large cross-linked complexes can result in coagulopathy and ischemia

• Ischemia/tissue damage can release tissue factor, activate clotting cascade via classical means

• Clotting system activation initiates fibrinolytic system

• Loss of compensatory control over clotting/fibrinolysis…
