14 TT21C: Toxicity Pathway and Network Biology Program at The Hamner Using Case Studies to implement NRC- TT21C report 1. Select a group of well-studied prototype compounds/pathways 2. Design & validate human/rodent cell or tissue surrogate based toxicity pathway assays 3. Examine results from the panel of assays to assess adversity 4. Refine quantitative risk assessment tools, i.e., computational systems biology pathway (CSBP) models and in vitro-in vivo extrapolation (IVIVE). 5. Integrate results into proposed health safety/risk assessments. Show the entire process in practice. 6. Take a look at results and modify steps to insure the process assist quantitative safety assessment

17 Three Cornerstones New paradigm for toxicity testing (TT21C), based on perturbation of toxicity pathways Advanced risk assessment methodologies, including those addressed in Science and Decisions Population health approach: multiple health determinants and multiple interventions McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment

18 KEY MESSAGES Enhanced framework Formative focus Four steps still core Matching analysis to decisions Clearer estimates of population risk Advancing cumulative assessments People and capacity building

19 Not OK OK Risk-Based Decision-Making Framework Phase I Formulating and Scoping Problem For environmental condition: What s the problem? What are the options for altering? What assessments are needed to evaluate options? Phase II Planning and Risk Assessing Stage 1: Planning for: Options Assessment Uncertainty and Variability Analysis Stage 2: Assessing Stage 3: Confirming Utility of Assessment Phase III Risk Management Relative benefits of proposed options? How are other factors (e.g., costs) affected by options? Which option is chosen? What s the uncertainty and justification? How to communicate it? Should decision effectiveness be evaluated? If so, how? Stakeholder involvement at each phase

20 Methodological Issues Adversity Variability Susceptible populations Dose and species extrapolation Mixtures and multiple stressors Uncertainty analysis McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment

21 Methodological Issues: (1) Adversity Issue Current Approach NexGen Approach Adverse outcomes Apical outcomes in mammalian systems, or precursors to these outcomes, serve as the basis for risk assessment. In vitro assays identify critical toxicity pathway perturbations, which serve as the basis for risk assessment, even in the absence of a direct link with an apical outcome.

22 McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment.

23 Methodological Issues: (2) Dose-response Issue Current Approach NexGen Approach Doseresponse assessment Empirical or biologically-based models describe apical endpoints, and determine an appropriate point of departure (such as the benchmark dose) for establishing a reference dose. Computational systems biology pathway models describe dose-response relationships for pathway perturbations, reflecting dosedependent transitions throughout the dose range of interest.

24 Signal-to-Noise Crossover Dose (SNCD) Sand, Portier & Krewski (2011), EHP McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment A WHO/PAHO Collaborating Centre

25 Methodological Issues: (3) Variability Issue Current Approach NexGen Approach Interindividual variability Adjustment factors used in establishing reference doses account for interindividual variability in PK and PD. Variability in exposure is also taken into account. Variability in biological response is characterized through the use of a diverse range of human cell lines. Dosimetry models link variation in human exposure with corresponding in vitro doses.

26 From Zeise et al. (2012): Assessing Human Variability in the Next Generation Health Assessments of Environmental Chemicals

27 Methodological Issues: (4) Susceptibility Issue Current Approach NexGen Approach Susceptible populations Life-stage, genetics, and socioeconomic and lifestyle factors determine susceptible population groups. Molecular and genetic epidemiology defines susceptible populations in terms of critical pathway perturbations.

28 How susceptibility arises from variability (from Zeise et al., 2012)

29 Methodological Issues: (5) Extrapolation Issue Current Approach NexGen Approach Dose and species extrapolation Dose and species extrapolation translate animal test results to humans. Cellular assays provide direct measures of toxicity pathway perturbations in humans. IVIVE techniques and pathway modeling calibrate in vitro and in vivo exposures. Sensitive in vitro tests are used to evaluate risk directly at environmental exposure levels.

Toxicol Sci 117: McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment

31 Methodological Issues: (6) Mixtures Issue Current Approach NexGen Approach Mixtures and multiple stressors Common experimental protocols include testing of mixtures and factorial experiments with joint exposures. However, there are only a limited number of such studies because of cost and complexity of experimental design. Cost-effective high throughput technologies permit expanded testing of mixtures and multiple stressors.

32 Methodological Issues: (7) Uncertainty Issue Current Approach NexGen Approach Uncertainty analysis Uncertainty considerations include species differences in susceptibility, lowdose and route-toroute extrapolation, and exposure ascertainment. Probabilistic risk assessments characterize overall uncertainty, and identify the most important sources of uncertainty that guide value-of-information decisions.

39 Risk Management McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment

40 Risk Management Principles (1/2) Beneficence and non-maleficence (do more good than harm) Natural justice (a fair process of decision making) Equity (ensure an equitable distribution of risk) Utility (seek optimal use of limited risk management resources) Honesty (be clear on what can and cannot be done to reduce risk) McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment

41 Risk Management Principles (2/2) Acceptability of risk (do not impose risks that are unacceptable to society) Precaution (be cautious in the face of uncertainty) Autonomy (foster informed risk decision-making for all stakeholders) Flexibility (continually adapt to new knowledge and understanding) Practicality (the complete elimination of risk is not possible) McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment

It will include development of a unifying conceptual framework for advancement of exposure science to study and assess human and ecological contact with chemical, biological, and physical stressors in their environments. concern.

77 Conclusions and Future Directions TT21C (NRC, 2007) has received widespread support, both in the United States and internationally: progress towards the implementation of TT21C ahead of projected timetable NexGen (EPA, 2014) integrates three cornerstones of the future of risk science: TT21C, new assessment methodologies, and a population health perspective High-throughput exposomics: assess toxicity pathway perturbations measured directly in humans RS21C: a coordinated international approach needed to chart the future of risk science, building on the powerful new tools, technologies, and methodologies now available to the scientific community McLaughlin Centre for Population Health Risk Assessment
