Pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic<br />

Aspects <strong>of</strong> Inhaled Lung-targeted Agents<br />

Symposium<br />

Discovery and development <strong>of</strong> inhaled lung-targeted<br />

therapeutic agents such as bronchodilators<br />

and corticosteroids present substantial PKPD<br />

challenges; lung PK is not easily measurable in<br />

preclinical models and may not be measurable in<br />

clinical studies. Systemic PK is relevant for systemic<br />

effects but may not be so for airway effects such as<br />

bronchodilation. Sufficient understanding <strong>of</strong> the<br />

lung as an absorption barrier for small molecules<br />

is not currently available to allow for inference <strong>of</strong><br />

lung PK from systemic observations. Quantitative<br />

dose-exposure-response analysis is rarely possible<br />

because <strong>of</strong> lack <strong>of</strong> relevant exposure data. Therefore,<br />

basic research is needed in order to characterize the<br />

ADME pr<strong>of</strong>ile <strong>of</strong> lung-targeted inhaled agents. This<br />

symposium will provide specific information on the<br />

gaps that exist in our understanding <strong>of</strong> the lung as<br />

an ADME barrier, and in the absence <strong>of</strong> requisite<br />

clinical information, what quantitative tools exist<br />

to help develop PKPD understanding <strong>of</strong> lungtargeted<br />

agents.<br />

WEDNESDAY MORNING ROUNDTABLES<br />

9:00 am – 11:00 am<br />

Facilitating the Transition to Modelbased<br />

Drug Development<br />

Roundtable<br />

The goal <strong>of</strong> this roundtable session is to elicit<br />

discussion regarding the issues surrounding<br />

the implementation <strong>of</strong> quantitative modeling<br />

and simulation strategies and their integration<br />

into drug development project timelines. Use <strong>of</strong><br />

these strategies in a model-based development<br />

paradigm has been proposed as a mechanism to<br />

improve both the efficiency and productivity <strong>of</strong> drug<br />

development. However, recognition <strong>of</strong> common<br />

obstacles to the seamless integration <strong>of</strong> these<br />

methods as a critical component <strong>of</strong> decision-making<br />

may facilitate systematic changes to achieve the<br />

optimal benefit. Brief presentations addressing the<br />

role <strong>of</strong> integrated project teams in supporting this<br />

paradigm, the essential infrastructure elements<br />

required for successful implementation, and the<br />

team communication and integration issues to be<br />

addressed for optimal management buy-in and<br />

efficient and informed decision-making will come<br />

before an open discussion <strong>of</strong> lessons learned<br />

and strategies for success. The presentation, the<br />

Other Critical Path: The Role <strong>of</strong> Integrated Project<br />

Teams in Drug Discovery and Development, will<br />

explore the following areas: how do we structure<br />

integrated project teams for maximum efficiency and<br />

effectiveness; what are the roles and responsibilities<br />

<strong>of</strong> the members <strong>of</strong> a drug development integrated<br />

project team; how can an integrated project team<br />

assist a pharmacometrician and facilitate modelbased<br />

drug development; how can integrated<br />

project teams be used to meet aggressive timelines<br />

and facilitate informed decision-making. The<br />

presentation, the Engineering the Pharmacometrics<br />

Enterprise: Science in Support <strong>of</strong> Science, will<br />

discuss the following areas: what are the key<br />

components <strong>of</strong> the pharmacometrics enterprise;<br />

how do we move from model-supported drug<br />

development to model-based drug development;<br />

and what can be done to improve the efficiency and<br />

effectiveness <strong>of</strong> pharmacometrics.<br />

Impact <strong>of</strong> Pharmacogenomics on Drug<br />

Development: An Industrial Perspective<br />

Roundtable<br />

Pharmacogenomics has emerged as an important<br />

tool for discovering new therapeutic agents as well<br />

as re-evaluating existing drugs for improving their<br />

efficacy and/or applications. The pharmaceutical<br />

industry continues to contribute significantly to<br />

development <strong>of</strong> high-throughput technologies<br />

applied to pharmacogenomic research. Efficient<br />

translation <strong>of</strong> the scientific data into clinical<br />

applications requires careful analyses, prioritization<br />

and streamlining <strong>of</strong> the information at various levels<br />

even as the regulatory approvals are sought. While<br />

pharmaceutical organizations follow their own<br />

set <strong>of</strong> internal standard operating protocols and<br />

process guidelines, it would be useful to provide a<br />

common platform to researchers from the industry<br />

to share their experiences and perspectives on<br />

what strategies worked, how challenges were<br />

overcome, what do they foresee as emerging<br />

issues in the near future, and what is the impact<br />

<strong>of</strong> the pharmacogenomic approach on the overall<br />

economics <strong>of</strong> the drug development/<br />

approval process.<br />
