1 Pediatric Trials in Latin America Clinical Research in Pediatric Oncology Prof. Dr. Antonio Sérgio Petrilli

2 Clinical Research Regulations Timeline Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act estabilished programme and funding for study of off-lpatent drugs. Pediatric Research Equitity Act Pediatric Rule FDA requiring manufactures to assess the safety and effectiveness of new drugs and biological products for pediatric labeling. Marketing authorization applications must contain a pediatric plan or waiver. Page 2

3 Objectives 1. When to perform pediatric research? 2. Timing of initiation; 3. Types of studies; 4. Age categories; 5. Ethical considerations. Page 3

4 1. When to perform pediatric research? Take into account: The prevalence of the condition to be treated in the pediatric population; Seriousness of the condition; Availability of alternative treatments in the pediatric population, including efficacy and adverse event profile. Page 4

5 1. When to perform pediatric research? Take into account: Whether the medicinal product is novel or one of a class of compounds with known properties; Age ranges of pediatric patients likely to be treated; Unique pediatric safety concerns (developmental) Page 5

6 2. Timing of initiation Concomitantly After initial safety analysis Phase I Phase II Phase III Diseases predominantly or exclusively affecting pediatric patients. Serious or life-threatening diseases, occurring in both adults and pediatric patients. After efficacy and safety analysis Other diseases and conditions. Page 6 Risk x Benefit

7 3. Types of studies Pharmacokinetics Consider: Number of patients and samples x patient: sparse sampling, sufficient to generate a comparison with adult parameters. Routine collections, wherever possible, at the same time as samples for pharmacokinetic analysis. Trained staff and sensitive assays in order to decrease the volume of blood required per sample. Page 7

8 3. Types of studies Efficacy Consider: Measurement of subjective symtoms (ie: pain) Specific Assessment instruments. Ie: pain, quality of life. Page 8 Caran, E, et al. Pediatr Blood Cancer, 45:925 32, 2005

9 3. Types of studies Performance Score Karnofsky (pacientes> 16 anos) Lansky (pacientes< 16 anos) 100 Totalmente ativo; normal. Sem queixas; sem evidência de doença; 90 Restrições leves em atividades físicas vigorosas. Atividade normal; sinais ou sintomas da doença leves. 80 Ativo, mas cansa mais rápido. Atividade normal com esforço; alguns sinais ou sintomas da doença 70 Grandes restrições e tempo menor nas atividades físicas. 60 Em pé e caminhando, mas mínima atividade, ocupa-se com atividades mais calmas. 50 Veste-se, mas fica muito deitado durante o dia; capaz de participar em todas as atividades calmas 40 Maior parte na cama; participa de atividades calmas 30 Na cama; necessita de assistência mesmo para atividades calmas Page 9 Cuida-se; capaz de exercer atividades normais ou de fazer trabalho ativo Necessita de assistência ocasional, mas tem capacidade de cuidas de muitas necessidades pessoais. Necessita de assistência considerável e cuidados médicos frequentes; atividades calmas. Incapacitado; necessita de cuidado e assistência especiais Gravemente incapacitado; é indicada internação embora a morte não seja iminente. 20 Dorme com frequência; atividades passivas Muito doente; necessária internação, necessário tratamento de suporte ativo 10 Sem atividade, não deixa a cama Moribundo 0 Não responsivo Morto

10 3. Types of studies Efficacy Consider: - Dosing Weight x BSA FIG. 1. The percentage of full dose administered resulting from three methods of dose reduction in response to weight loss (A) and the drug exposure, or area under the curve (AUC), resulting from the administration of these doses (B). Page 10 Dose Reduction of Chemotherapeutic Agents after Weight Loss. O Marcaigh, Aengus; Gilchrist, Gerald, American Journal of Clinical Oncology. 20(2): , 195, April 1997.

11 3. Types of studies Safety Consider: Normal lab values age appropriate; Different metabolism (Ex: renal and liver clearance) Long-term safety studies (Ex: chemotherapy cardiotoxicity) Page 11 Pediatr Blood Cancer 2005;

12 4. Age categories. Preterm Newborn Infants; Term Newborn Infants (0 to 27 days); Infants and toddlers (28 days to 23 months); Children (2 to 11 years); Adolescents (12 to 18 years). Page 12

13 5. Ethical Considerations Vulnerable population Consent and Assent: appropriate age? Economic aspects (patents extension) Page 13

14 Necessary actions from involved parts Sponsors Stimulate the development of pediatric studies Protocols designed to minimize risks. IRBs Knowledge of ethical, clinical and psico-social pediatric aspects Consider risks from the children s point of view Familiarity with study designs that minimize risks Faster approval processes without ethical prejudice. Investigators Training and experience in pediatric studies. Page 14
