ACCELERATION OF CRITICAL PATH MODEL INFORMED DRUG DEVELOPMENT (MIDD) SUBMISSION ACTIVITIES VIA DATA AND TOOL STANDARDIZATION

ACCELERATION OF CRITICAL PATH MODEL INFORMED DRUG DEVELOPMENT (MIDD) SUBMISSION ACTIVITIES VIA DATA AND TOOL STANDARDIZATION Brian W. Corrigan¹, Matthew Riggs¹, Mike Ferguson¹, Joydeep Bhattacharya¹, Marc R. Gastonguay¹ 1 Metrum Research Group, Boston, MA, USA

Regulatory submissions for new drugs (NDAs/BLAs) increasingly rely on
pharmacometric (PK/PD) analyses to support dosing, labeling, and design of
post-approval trial commitments.
More frequently, MIDD related activities (data cleaning/prep, analysis,
summary document preparation) are on the filing critical path (CP) following
completion of the final registration studies, with delays directly impacting
time to file. These delays impact overall medicine value.
Accelerating MIDD related CP activities via methods standardization,
process automation, and proactive planning offers a potential mechanism for
increasing speed without compromising quality

Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Modeling of X-linked Hypophosphatemia Disease Pathway Normalization to Predict the Impact of Burosumab Treatment on Serum Biomarkers in Adult and Pediatric Patients

December 6, 2024

Presented at ACoP 2024. The Bone Health QSP model was extended by incorporating XLH disease mechanisms and burosumab impact on serum phosphate and other biomarkers using clinical data from adult and pediatric patients with XLH. The model reproduced clinically observed changes in pharmacodynamic markers in both adult and pediatric patients with XLH; normalization of serum phosphate with burosumab treatment was successfully replicated, facilitating a better understanding of burosumab dosing in patients with XLH going forward. The model could potentially be used to optimize treatment in the clinical setting.
