Model-Informed Drug Development for Dose Confirmation in Special Populations

Presented at the International Symposium on Biopharmaceutical Statistics, March 2024. From basic dose adjustments to more ambitious programs for personalized medicine, pharmacometrics has a long tradition of informing tailored treatment strategies. Many of the modeling strategies are well-precedented, but formal decision frameworks are needed to address the question: how much data is enough to support a decision?

In relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, CD19 expression by immunohistochemistry alone is not a predictor of response to loncastuximab tesirine

This study explores Lonca’s efficacy across varying CD19 expression levels, revealing its effectiveness in patients, regardless of low or undetectable CD19 levels by conventional methods. The study integrates quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) modeling to predict treatment responses, indicating that CD19 expression alone may not predict Lonca’s effectiveness, however, response predictions are improved by considering CD19 surface density.

In this tutorial, the principles of Bayesian model development, assessment and prior selection are outlined. An example pharmacokinetic model is used to demonstrate the implementation of Bayesian modeling using the nonlinear mixed-effects modeling software NONMEM.

Confounded exposure metrics

Exposure-response (E-R) modeling frequently relies on the use of exposure metrics that summarize drug concentrations over time. This research presents simulations to demonstrate that certain commonly used exposure metrics, including average concentration up to an event time, are likely to lead to causal confounding under the very conditions that motivate their use.

Expanding Statistical Influence in Pharmacometrics: What it Means, Why it Matters, and How to Make it Work

Many biostatisticians in pharma and biotech  have relatively little awareness of, let alone influence over, the heavily statistical “pharmacometric” reasoning that goes into CTD Section 2.7.2 of an FDA regulatory submission, the “Summary of Clinical Pharmacology Studies”.  This talk focuses on the value of increasing statistical influence in pharmacometrics and the path to get there.

Population Pharmacokinetic (PK) and Exposure-Response (ER) Analysis of Empagliflozin in Pediatric Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)

Presented at ACoP14. Empagliflozin, effective for type 2 diabetes in adults and children, underwent Study 1218.91 to assess its safety and efficacy over 26 weeks (with potential extension to 52 weeks) in children and adolescents. Using pediatric data from this study, researchers re-evaluated empagliflozin’s models in a Bayesian framework. Results showed similar drug exposure between children and adults at a 10 mg dose. At week 26, pediatric patients displayed a slightly larger but variable decrease in A1c compared to adults. This Bayesian method allowed insights into empagliflozin’s effects in children, drawing from knowledge gained in adult studies.

simpar: an R Package for Parameter Uncertainty Simulations in Pharmacometric Modeling

Presented at ACoP14. This project is dedicated to integrating parameter uncertainty into pharmacometric simulations, which plays a crucial role in making informed decisions in drug development. Initially, the metrumrg package in R was instrumental for simulating both fixed and random effect parameters. However, this package has since been deprecated. Consequently, the primary objective was to create a new R package named simpar. This new package aimed to retain the essential functionalities of metrumrg while expanding its capabilities. The overarching goal was to significantly enhance the support for incorporating parameter uncertainty into pharmacometric simulations, thereby aiding more comprehensive and accurate decision-making processes in this field.

Population Pharmacokinetic and Exposure-Response Analysis of Linagliptin in Pediatric Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Presented at ACoP14. This study assessed linagliptin’s effectiveness and safety in children and adolescents with type 2 diabetes over 26 weeks, potentially extending to 52 weeks. The study re-evaluated models developed for adults and adolescents to understand linagliptin’s impact on pediatric patients’ HbA1c levels. Results indicated slightly higher and more varied linagliptin exposure in children compared to adults at a 5 mg dose. Although pediatric patients had a smaller and variable HbA1c reduction versus adults at week 26, the Bayesian approach helped characterize linagliptin’s effects in children based on limited data, borrowing insights from adult studies.

Bayesian Borrowing in the DINAMO Pediatric Study using Informative Priors Derived from Model-based Extrapolation

Presented at ACoP14. The DINAMO study assessed empagliflozin and linagliptin’s effectiveness and safety in treating type 2 diabetes in children. Using prior models based on adult data, the study predicted these medications’ effects in younger populations following FDA guidelines. Employing a Bayesian analysis with robust prior specifications, the study justified its approach by considering factors like weight, kidney function, age, race, and gender when extrapolating adult outcomes to pediatric populations.

The analyses results support the selection of 5.6 mg/kg Q3W as the recommended dose for further clinical development of HER3-DXd monotherapy.

A multi-organ integrated QSP model for hematopoietic stem cell differentiation to predict the immune cell reconstitution in ex-vivo gene therapy

Presented at ACoP14. The differentiation of mammalian hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is complex and multiscale, providing an opportunity for mathematical modeling and simulation to aid in mechanistic understanding, and ultimately, to inform drug development efforts. Historically, HSC mathematical models were focused on the development of a subset of cells, but mathematical models encompassing the overall cellular system’s complexity are rarely available. Here, an integrated quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) model that characterizes multi-organ HSC differentiation was developed by integrating literature models and adding novel features.

Connecting ISoP with Statisticians: An Introduction to the Biopharmaceutical Section of the American Statistical Association

Fit-for-Purpose Method Development and Validation for Successful Biomarker Measurement

A practical, iterative, “fit-for-purpose” approach to biomarker method development and validation is proposed, keeping in mind the intended use of the data and the attendant regulatory requirements associated with that use. Sample analysis within this context of fit-for-purpose method development and validation are well suited for successful biomarker implementation, allowing increased use of biomarkers in drug development.
