THURSDAY SYMPOSIA<br />

8:30 am – 11:00 am<br />

Using Modeling and Simulation to<br />

Safely Adjust Dose Regimens for Obese<br />

Patients<br />

Symposium<br />

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions<br />

worldwide. Obesity presents major health, social,<br />

and economic implications. Obese patients are<br />

more susceptible to a variety <strong>of</strong> chronic diseases<br />

than individuals with normal body composition.<br />

For example, obese patients frequently have<br />

hypertension, arterial sclerosis, and other<br />

cardiovascular diseases. Diabetes is also common in<br />

obese patients. Despite increased pharmacotherapy<br />

among obese patients, there is little information<br />

about dose adjustments for this population.<br />

Particularly for drugs with a narrow therapeutic<br />

index. The main factors affecting tissue distribution<br />

are body composition, regional blood flow, and the<br />

affinity <strong>of</strong> the drug for plasma proteins and/or tissue<br />

components. All these factors are altered in obese<br />

patients. The obese have larger absolute lean body<br />

masses as well as fat masses than lean patients.<br />

However, the percentage <strong>of</strong> fat per kilogram <strong>of</strong> total<br />

body weight is markedly increased. Drug clearance<br />

can also be altered in obese patients. Morbid<br />

obesity is strongly associated with non-alcoholic<br />

fatty liver disease, and cytochrome P450 is<strong>of</strong>orm<br />

expression is altered, but no clear overview <strong>of</strong> drug<br />

hepatic metabolism in obesity is currently available.<br />

Pharmacology studies have reported different<br />

results on renal function in obese patients as well,<br />

making it difficult to forecast the pharmacokinetic<br />

behavior <strong>of</strong> drugs in obese patients. There have<br />

been several published reviews <strong>of</strong> various strategies<br />

for dose adjustments in obese patients. These<br />

reports suggest that a number <strong>of</strong> widely used<br />

empiric strategies for dose adjustments in obese<br />

patients, including a priori dose reduction or<br />

dose capping, are inappropriate and should be<br />

discouraged. However there have been no suitable<br />

size descriptors developed for dose adjustments<br />

across a wide range <strong>of</strong> body compositions. The lack<br />

<strong>of</strong> information on mechanisms for dose adjustment<br />

in the obese may be partly attributed to insufficient<br />

knowledge about pharmacokinetic parameters as<br />

a function <strong>of</strong> body composition due to the exclusion<br />

<strong>of</strong> obese subjects from clinical trials. Contributing<br />

to the problem is the myriad <strong>of</strong> concomitant health<br />

issues associated with obesity. Modeling and<br />

simulation during drug development may provide<br />

insights about safe dose adjustments in drugs in<br />

the obese patient population.<br />

THURSDAY ROUNDTABLES<br />

9:00 am – 11:00 am<br />

Evaluating Fit-for-Purpose Models:<br />

Consensus or Controversy<br />

Roundtable<br />

Disease/PK/PD/Trial Models are now being<br />

increasingly used to aid decisions in industry,<br />

hospital, and regulatory settings. It is generally<br />

agreed that the adequacy <strong>of</strong> a model should be<br />

judged mainly based on its intended application.<br />

While modeling zealots continue to debate on<br />

what term best fits the process <strong>of</strong> evaluating model<br />

adequacy (model validation, model evaluation, etc.)<br />

the more critical issue is the lack <strong>of</strong> consensus on<br />

what constitutes an adequate model for a specific<br />

application. The objective <strong>of</strong> this roundtable is to<br />

debate on the appropriateness <strong>of</strong> models frequently<br />

used in 3 areas <strong>of</strong> drug development; models<br />

derived from in vitro, preclinical and literature<br />

(study-level) data on competitors to inform decisions<br />

in preclinical and clinical development, models<br />

used to select doses for Phase 3 testing, and models<br />

used for regulatory decisions, specifically to derive<br />

labeling statements. The overarching question<br />

is, what are the minimally acceptable statistical,<br />

biological, and predictive (S, B, P) properties <strong>of</strong><br />

such models? To encourage an interactive session<br />

on specific items, panel presentations will focus on<br />

the following scenarios <strong>of</strong> model application. First,<br />

intended application using exposure-response<br />

models for efficacy and safety to design a dose<br />

response study to find optimal dose(s) for Phase<br />

3 testing. What are minimally acceptable S/B/P<br />

properties for such models? What visual and<br />

statistical tools would you use to judge model<br />

adequacy? Second, intended application<br />

benchmark the magnitude <strong>of</strong> efficacy <strong>of</strong> your<br />

compound relative to competitors based on<br />

literature data to make a go/no-go decision.<br />

What are minimally acceptable S/B/P properties<br />

for such a model that combines subject level data<br />

for your compound with study level data with<br />

competitors? What visual and statistical tools<br />

would you use to judge model adequacy? Finally,<br />

intended application labeling statement to include<br />

the estimated magnitude <strong>of</strong> mean change in PK/<br />

efficacy/safety under conditions <strong>of</strong> an interacting<br />

agent or in a special population. What are minimally<br />

acceptable S/B/P properties for such models? What<br />

visual and statistical tools would you use to judge<br />

model adequacy?<br />
