1 20 Years AGAH, Annual Meeting, Hamburg February 2010 Fast Track Drug Development The Clinical (Caleidoscopic) Perspective Fritz R. Bühler, MD ECPM, University of Basel European Innovative Medicine Initiative, PharmaTrain, Coordinator ex Roche Head Global Clinical Research and Development February 2010 / 1

2 Stakeholders Individual, Patient-specific Decision Patient Physician Drug- and Populationspecific Decisions Health Care Provider Regulator Industry (Academic) Researcher February 2010 / 2

4 Pharma needs to alter the blockbuster approach Because Serendipitous discovery of one size fits all drugs is increasingly difficult and costly Scientific advances in biology, IT, mobile and networking technologies offer radically new approaches Health technology assessment is now part of health care decision making Patients and patient groups have growing influence and demand greater access to treatments Industry must deliver higher value medicines to patients and demonstrate clear benefits February 2010 / 4 Training Platform

5 Significant new Technologies emerged Protein chips Transgenic animals Proteomics In silico experimentation Pharmacogenomics Bioinformatics Cheminformatics Source: Strategic Planning Pharma Molecular modelling Functional genomics February 2010 / 5

6 which will trigger a paradigm shift in R&D and medicine From To Clinical definition of disease diagnosis Molecular definition diagnosis and predisposition Courtesy of Don Stanski, Novartis February 2010 / 6

7 New Technologies Understanding of disease at molecular level Better drug targets Preventive medicine Identification of drugs Diagnostics Knowledge of individual risk profiles Drug therapy will become more selective Gene therapy partly replacing existing therapies February 2010 / 7

10 Key Drivers to Transform Development Modeling and simulation Rapid compound selection in man Biomarkers Innovative clinical trial design Innovative approaches to initial registration ( provisional approval ) Integrated safety assessment & risk management Quality by design manufacturing February 2010 / 10

11 Modeling and Simulation is fundamental to a new Paradigm of Drug Develoment Modeling & Simulation Build the model Market Access Confirm the model Provisional Approval Monitored Release Full Approval Full Release Biomarkers l continuous sharing of data with Health Authority l February 2010 / 11

12 Biomarkers A simple conceptual architecture Biomarkers Pharmacodiagnostic Biomarkers Treatment eligibility Response prediction Pharmacological Biomarkers Pharmacodynamic markers Pharmacokinetic markers Mechanism of action markers Disease Biomarkers Predisposition Early detection Prognosis Monitoring/ Recurrence February 2010 / 12

13 Disease Subset Definition Many currently defined diseases are clinical syndromes (defined observationally) undoubtedly comprised of a collection of distinct pathogenic states New genomic, proteomic, imaging, etc. biomarkers may provide better discrimination by providing more information on underlying pathologic pro-cesses (without necessarily providing full mecha-nistic, explanatory data) February 2010 / 13

14 Learn-Confirm Paradigm Framework for Optimal Drug Development Lewis B. Sheiner, M.D., Ph.D. Physician and Scientist Learning mechanistic (causal) understanding of product exposure response relationships LEARNING CONFIRMING Confirming demonstrating evidence of mechanism, therapeutic concept, safety & effectiveness February 2010 / 14
