NON-CLINICAL ASPECTS OF FIRST-IN-HUMANS<br />

Session Chair:<br />

BIOMARKERS IN NON-CLINICAL SAFETY ASSESSMENT<br />

Session Chair:<br />

Gerd Bode, Consultant, Germany<br />

The session will provide a comprehensive introduction and global status on the<br />

topic and preferably provide one or more examples of biomarkers developed<br />

for use in non-clinical safety assessment.<br />

Session under development<br />

14:00-15:30 Session 0607<br />

THE NON-CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT OF ANTI-CANCER PHARMACEUTICALS<br />

Session Chair:<br />

Klaus Olejniczak, Scientific Director, Department of Drug Toxicology, BfArM,<br />

Germany<br />

The new ICH S9 guideline on 'Non-Clinical Development of Anti-cancer<br />

Pharmaceuticals' will be presented and information will be given to assist in<br />

the design of an appropriate program of pre-clinical and clinical studies for the<br />

development of anticancer drugs.<br />

ICH S9: Non-clinical Development of Anti-cancer Pharmaceuticals<br />

Klaus Olejniczak, Scientific Director, Department of Drug Toxicology, BfArM,<br />

Germany<br />

Industry Experience with Non-clinical Development of Anti-cancer Drugs<br />

Hermann Schweinfurth, Head of Non-Clinical Drug Safety, Bayer Schering<br />

Pharma AG, Germany<br />

16:00-17:30 Session 0608<br />

CONTEMPORARY ISSUES IN NON-CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT OF<br />

BIOTECHNOLOGY-DERIVED PRODUCTS<br />

Session Chair:<br />

Jennifer Sims, Head of Preclinical Development, Novartis Pharma AG,<br />

Switzerland<br />

This session will review any updates to the ICH S6 guideline and provide one<br />

or more cases to illustrate and guide on the principles of safety assessment of<br />

biotech products.<br />

Session under development<br />

Theme 7 | Statistics across the Drug Lifecycle<br />

Jürgen Kübler, Global Head, Statistical Safety Sciences, Novartis Pharma AG,<br />

Switzerland<br />

Robert Hemmings, Statistics Unit Manager, MHRA, <strong>UK</strong><br />

The current R&D process is facing significant challenges: There is a need<br />

to develop efficacious and acceptably safe drugs more efficiently, and to<br />

improve in the early identification of drugs that will ultimately fail to prove a<br />

favourable benefit/risk profile. Sound statistical methods can play a major role<br />

in systematically generating knowledge in terms of both design and conduct<br />

of an individual study, and design and decision making across the entire<br />

lifecycle of a medicinal product. This theme will explore statistical approaches<br />

to improve the efficiency with which medicines are developed and monitored.<br />

This includes a thorough discussion of how to optimise implementation of<br />

established and new methodology and their applicability in a highly regulated<br />

environment. The theme aims to provide a forum for discussion between<br />

industry, academic and regulatory thought leaders. Relevant experience will<br />

be shared and discussed, reflecting on lessons learned. Recommendations for<br />

best practice will be developed.<br />

09:00-10:30 Session 0101/0701<br />

TRIAL DESIGN AND INTERPRETATION FOR PERSONALISED HEALTHCARE –<br />

DELIVERING C21 DRUG DEVELOPMENT (JOINT WITH THEME 1)<br />

Session Chair:<br />

Aiden Flynn, Director, Biomarkers and Analytics, GlaxoSmithKline, <strong>UK</strong><br />

The emergence of new complex diagnostic technologies challenges traditional<br />

ways of interpreting the output from clinical trials. Successful Personalised<br />

Medicine relies on our being able to understand exactly what biomarker data is<br />

telling us and apply this to clinical development decisions.<br />

Statistic Approaches to Data analysis for PHC- What does the data tell us?<br />

FDA speaker invited<br />

High Dimensional Data – What do we mean?<br />

Bryn Williams-Jones, Associate Research Fellow, Head of e-Biology, Pfizer Global<br />

Research & Development, <strong>UK</strong><br />

Bio Informatic Tools for Complex Data<br />

Tom Freeman, Group Leader, The Roslin Institute, R(D)SVS, Division of <strong>Genetic</strong>s<br />

and Genomics , University of Edinburgh, <strong>UK</strong>
