TUESDAY MORNING ROUNDTABLES<br />

9:00 am – 11:00 am<br />

To Test or Not to Test? Risk Assessment<br />

Approaches for Human Metabolites<br />

Roundtable<br />

This session is intended to take the U.S. Food and<br />

Drug Administration Guidance on Safety Testing <strong>of</strong><br />

Drug Metabolites to the next logical step by focusing<br />

on strategic approaches for risk assessment <strong>of</strong> major<br />

and unique human metabolites. Currently, many<br />

companies have accepted the guidance, but are at<br />

a loss for how to implement its recommendations<br />

in the real world <strong>of</strong> drug development. Industry<br />

speakers will present case studies that did<br />

and did not result in stand-alone nonclinical<br />

safety assessment <strong>of</strong> a human metabolite. The<br />

presenters will also address inherent issues with<br />

conducting risk assessment on metabolites that are<br />

administered directly to an animal instead <strong>of</strong> formed<br />

in situ by normal metabolic processes. Finally, a<br />

U.S. Food and Drug Administration representative<br />

familiar with this area will address situations where<br />

actual metabolite safety testing can be instrumental<br />

in deconvoluting toxicity observed in the clinic. The<br />

roundtable should be very interactive as audience<br />

members are likely to provide their own perspectives<br />

and experiences on this hot topic.<br />

TUESDAY AFTERNOON ROUNDTABLES<br />

2:00 pm – 4:00 pm<br />

Inclusion <strong>of</strong> Women in Clinical Trials<br />

and Drug Development — How Far Have<br />

We Gone<br />

Roundtable<br />

Women were initially excluded from clinical research<br />

due to liability concerns and historical precedence.<br />

The result was the “male norm” <strong>of</strong> research.<br />

Research subjects were predominately men since<br />

most researchers thought men and women were<br />

biologically the same except for their reproductive<br />

organs. By the 1980’s, it was clear that the exclusion<br />

<strong>of</strong> women from clinical studies compromised the<br />

health care they received. This created a scientific<br />

knowledge gap that has resulted in health care<br />

disparity for women over the past many years.<br />

Sex affects health and health care; the following<br />

examples illustrate why it is imperative that<br />

diseases and treatments be studied for the different<br />

effects they can have on women and men. A 2001<br />

report from the General Accounting Office (GAO)<br />

on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)<br />

revealed that eight <strong>of</strong> 10 drugs recently withdrawn<br />

from the market caused more adverse events in<br />

women than men. Heart disease kills 500,000<br />

<strong>American</strong> women each year, over 50,000 more<br />

women than men, and strikes women, on average,<br />

10 years later than men. Women are 2.7 times more<br />

likely to acquire an autoimmune disease, such as<br />

multiple sclerosis, lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.<br />

Women wake up from anesthesia an average four<br />

minutes before men do.<br />

TUESDAY AFTERNOON SYMPOSIA<br />

2:00 pm – 4:30 pm<br />

Reactive Metabolites in Drug Discovery<br />

and Development: How Can We Handle<br />

the Risk?<br />

Symposium<br />

Safety-related issues continue to significantly<br />

contribute to the overall attrition statistics in the<br />

pharmaceutical industry. The metabolic formation <strong>of</strong><br />

reactive metabolite intermediates in vivo represent a<br />

risk in the drug discovery and development process<br />

which can manifest itself as drug-induced toxicity<br />

later on in patients as unforeseen idiosyncrasies.<br />

Significant advances in our knowledge <strong>of</strong><br />

biotransformation pathways over the last 20 years<br />

have resulted in a better understanding <strong>of</strong> the<br />

underlying chemical mechanisms, which drive the<br />

formation <strong>of</strong> reactive intermediates. An increasingly<br />

integrative approach <strong>of</strong> medicinal chemistry,<br />

computational chemistry, biology and toxicology<br />

holds the promise that academic and industry<br />

research has become more capable <strong>of</strong> designing<br />

out unwanted toxicity risks from drug candidates,<br />

which will ultimately lead to safer drugs for patients.<br />

The present symposium will discuss the current<br />

state <strong>of</strong> the art in reactive metabolite (RM) research<br />

regarding compound design, RM detection, RM<br />

toxicological implications and RM risk assessment in<br />

drug development.<br />
