Title: REGULATORY TRIALS – ONCOLOGY EXPERIENCE


1
REGULATORY TRIALS ONCOLOGY EXPERIENCE
  • Anthony TC Chan
  • Comprehensive Cancer Trials Unit
  • Department of Clinical Oncology
  • The Chinese University of Hong Kong

2
BACKGROUND (1)REGULATORY TRIALS
  • Provide clinical evidence of effectiveness for
    drugs/biological products
  • Well-designed studies focus on specific disease
    subpopulation
  • Efficacy refers to findings in well-controlled
    clinical trials
  • Effectiveness refers to regulatory determination
    made on the basis of efficacy and other data

3
BACKGROUND (2)SINGLE CLINICAL TRIAL OF EFFICACY
  • Any trial may be subjected to systematic biases
  • Chance alone may produce a positive trial result
  • Single center studies may be dependent on site or
    investigator-specific factors and not be
    generalizable
  • Positive efficacy results may be the product of
    scientific fraud (e.g. High dose therapy in
    breast cancer)

4
BACKGROUND (3)CONFIRMATORY TRIAL
  • Preferably trial of different design and
    independent in execution
  • May be different populations, endpoints, or
    dosage forms (e.g. concurrent chemo-RT in NPC)
  • Rarely, considered unethical, based on findings
    from multicenter study of excellent design,
    providing highly reliable and statistically
    strong evidence of survival benefit

5
QUANTITY OF EVIDENCE REQUIRED FROM REGULATORY
TRIALS
  • I. Extrapolation from existing studies
  • II. Single well-controlled study supported by
    other studies of different endpoints
  • III. Single multicenter study with no other
    supporting information

6
(I) EXTRAPOLATION FROM EXISTING STUDIES
  • i. Paediatric uses
  • - based on adult data
  • - demonstrate common pathophysiology, drug
    metabolism and concentration-response
    relationships
  • ii. Modified-release dosage forms
  • - PK data linking new dosage to previous dosage
    form, concentration-response relationships
  • iii. Different doses, regimens or dosage forms
  • - PK data, concentration-response relationships
    may be used to translate trial results

7
(II) SINGLE STUDY OF NEW USE, WITH INDEPENDENT
SUBSTANTIATIONS FROM RELATED STUDY DATA
  • Different doses, regimens or dosages forms
  • - PK/PD data
  • Studies in other phases of same disease e.g. CPT
    11 in Ca Colon
  • Studies in other populations e.g. tamoxifen in
    male breast cancer
  • Studies in combination vs monotherapy e.g.
    gemcitibine in lung cancer
  • Studies in a closely related disease patterns
    e.g. pain control studies
  • Studies of different important primary and
    secondary endpoints e.g. response rate and
    survival, PFS and OS, QOL and survival

8
(III) SINGLE MULTICENTER STUDY WITH NO OTHER
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
  • i. Large multicenter study
  • a. no single site provided unusually large
    fraction of patients
  • b. no single investigator disappropriately
    responsible for favorable effect seen. i.e.
    internal consistency
  • ii. Consistency across study subsets
  • e.g. stratified for prior therapy, disease
    stage, age, gender
  • Multiple studies in a single study e.g. 2 x 2
    disign
  • Multiple endpoints involving different events
    e.g. response rate and survival
  • Statistically very persuasive findings i.e. very
    low p-value in large trial

9
ACCELERATED NEW ONCOLOGIC DRUG APPROUAL (FDA)
  • gt 400 drugs for cancer being tested
  • 1,500 active Investigative New Drug (IND)
    applications
  • 5-10 New Drug Applications (NDA)
  • Provide meaningful therapeutic benefit to
    patients over existing treatments (e.g. CML
    patients intolerant of, or unresponsive to
    Interferon), preferably with multiple endpoints
    e.g. haematologic and cytogenetic response.
  • e.g. Glivec (ST1-571) approved in 9 weeks
