effects of multiple oral doses of glimepiride (1 mg/day for 5 days) on<br />

the PK and PD of a single dose of ipragliflozin (150 mg). The plasma<br />

PK par<strong>am</strong>eters of ipragliflozin, glimepiride, and its active metabolite<br />

5-hydroxy-glimepiride were determined throughout the study.<br />

RESULTS: The PK par<strong>am</strong>eters of glimepiride obtained in the presence<br />

and absence of ipragliflozin were similar. Geometric mean ratios<br />

(GMRs) [90% CI] for AUC inf (ipragliflozin + glimepiride/glimepiride)<br />

were 1.051 [1.013-1.090] for glimepiride and 0.998 [0.966-1.031]<br />

for 5-hydroxy-glimepiride. GMRs for C max (ipragliflozin + glimepiride/glimepiride)<br />

were 1.1<strong>00</strong> [1.019-1.188] for glimepiride and 1.<strong>00</strong>8<br />

[0.941-1.079] for 5-hydroxy-glimepiride. The PK par<strong>am</strong>eters of<br />

ipragliflozin were comparable between ipragliflozin + glimepiride<br />

versus ipragliflozin alone: GMRs [90% CI] of AUC inf and C max were<br />

0.991 [0.966-1.016] and 0.973 [0.892-1.062], respectively. No difference<br />

was observed in the PD of ipragliflozin after ipragliflozin +<br />

glimepiride versus ipragliflozin alone: GMR [90% CI] of UGE was<br />

0.919 [0.876-0.963].<br />

CONCLUSION: Concomitant administration of ipragliflozin and<br />

glimepiride to healthy subjects did not result in a PK or PD interaction<br />

between these two drugs.<br />

BACKGROUND: The question on ethnic differences in drug<br />

response has received more attention in recent years, likely because<br />

more clinical trials are performed and included for registration in<br />

emerging markets. We investigated how this has been addressed during<br />

drug development in Roche/Genentech in the past. Having identified<br />

changes over time and lessons learned, the objective was to propose<br />

improved future strategies.<br />

METHODS: US labels of Roche/Genentech marketed drugs<br />

since 1995 and corresponding labels in selected Asian countries were<br />

reviewed for information on ethnic sensitivity. Clinical development<br />

plans of all Roche projects in Phases 1-3 were analyzed for activities<br />

assessing ethnic sensitivity. The more recent activities were evaluated<br />

for their value and impact on later development phases.<br />

RESULTS: >50% of Roche/Genentech drugs registered in the US<br />

don’t contain any label statement in relation to findings on ethnic/racial<br />

differences or similarities. This is true even in cases where a large data<br />

base in Asian subjects exists. For those drugs registered more recently,<br />

ethnicity label statements are found more frequently but are mostly limited<br />

to differences/similarities in PK. Of the drugs in late-phase develop-<br />

ment ≥50% generated some early PK data in Asians and Caucasians that<br />

enabled global studies including US/EU and Asian countries. Exploratory<br />

PK data and, in few cases PD, in Asians and Caucasians are available<br />

for 90% of drugs currently in Phase 2. For most drug candidates in Phase<br />

1 no concrete plans exist for studying ethnic sensitivity until proof of concept<br />

is established. Case studies are presented to exemplify the limitations/risks<br />

of past strategies and their impact on drug development.<br />

CONCLUSION: Today, more and earlier ethnic sensitivity assessments<br />

are being performed. The assessment could be improved in the<br />

future taking into account innovative methods, the growing science in<br />

this field and the clinical trial opportunities in Asia.<br />

BACKGROUND: Requirements for exploratory trials are defined<br />

by ICH M3 R2 and clinical data derived from such studies is recognized<br />

by regulatory authorities worldwide. Ex<strong>am</strong>ples in current drug<br />

development were reviewed at a meeting in June 2011.<br />

METHODS: 16 case studies highlighted by the following ex<strong>am</strong>ples<br />

were discussed at the meeting. IV microtracer use was described by a<br />

study to generate absolute bioavailability data. The study with a DPP-4<br />

inhibitor resulted in regulatory approval and the abbreviated approach<br />

to IV formulation development brought the product to the market<br />

quicker than traditional approaches would have enabled. Exploratory<br />

FIH (eFIH) studies were exemplified by a study with a drug targeting<br />

an anti-infl<strong>am</strong>matory receptor. The study established human PK of the<br />

drug prior to phase IIa to justify progression of development. Microdose<br />

utility was demonstrated through a study screening a lead candidate for<br />

DDI liability with and without the presence of a potent CYP3A4 inhibitor.<br />

Increases in AUC at both micro and therapeutic dose were confirmed<br />

supporting progression/termination decisions for back-ups and<br />

informing concomitant medication advice for subsequent studies.<br />

RESULTS: IV tracer applications deliver cost and time savings<br />

over conventional methods for generating IV data. ‘Piggybacking’<br />

tracer doses onto other studies in the development portfolio limits<br />

the impact on progr<strong>am</strong> budgets. eFIH studies at pharmacologic dose<br />

have significant utility, particularly given the ability to add other study<br />

objectives such as food effect, and IV tracer to the design. Microdosing<br />

applications are viewed as a ‘fit for purpose’ rather than as a routine<br />

development strategy.<br />

CONCLUSION: Exploratory trials are challenging conventional<br />

drug development paradigms by generating data earlier to inform key<br />

development decisions with the potential to bring new medicines to<br />

market quicker.<br />
