1 Conducting Phase 1 studies in Pediatric Oncology A model applicable to other disciplines? Sylvain Baruchel MD New Agent and Innovative Therapy Program Toronto Hospital For Sick Children
2 MILESTONES IN PEDIATRIC ONCOLOGY 1940s Remission achieved in pediatric leukemia patients 1950s 6-mercaptopurine treats pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) NCI begins funding pediatric cooperative clinical trials 1960s Dactinomycin first used to treat Wilms tumor 1970s First successful bone marrow transplant (BMT) for leukemia 1980s Adjuvant chemotherapy improves relapse-free survival for pediatric osteosarcoma 1990s Autologous BMT and 13-cis-retinoic acid improve event-free survival for high-risk neuroblastoma Combined ifosfamide and etoposide improve outcomes for non-metastatic Ewing sarcoma 2000s Imatinib added to intensive chemotherapy improves early outcomes for Ph+ ALL and infant leukemia AntiGD2 maintenance in stage 4 neuroblastoma increase survival by 20% 5-year survival rates for children with cancer (age 0-14 years) approach 80%
3 Pediatric Clinical Trial Enrollment By Age Today more than 40,000 children are treated on as part of COG clinical Trials at hundreds of hospitals around The world. In the U.S., "the majority Of children for whom there are clinical trials, and who are eligible for those trials, are actually enrolled on clinical trials 5 and younger: greater than 90% 10 and younger: 75-90% 10 to 15: 50% Adolescents aged 15 to 19: 15-25%
4 Challenges in Pediatric Drug Development Limited patient numbers due to the success of front-line therapy cure rate 80% Integration of new agents into standard curative but toxic regimens Application of molecularly targeted drugs to childhood cancer (preclinical pediatric oncology platforms)
5 Building on 50 Years of Cooperative Research But Only 21 Phase 1 centres accredited to conduct phase I

7 The distribution of patients (n = 1,807) enrolled onto pediatric phase I trials Lee, D. P. et al. J Clin Oncol; 23: Copyright American Society of Clinical Oncology
8 Pediatric Development Plan First Stage Phase 1 studies to determine dose, pharmacokinetics, and toxicities Planned for about 25 patients If unacceptable toxicity occurs, the development would stop If toxicity is acceptable, proceed to second stage (anticipated general case)
9 Pediatric Development Plan Second Stage Phase 2 studies (single agent or add comparative design) and/or pilot studies (combinations) to demonstrate an agent s characteristics and contribution to efficacy, perhaps using surrogate endpoints such as response rate justification for further development to examine clinical benefit
10 Goal of Phase 1 designs Estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a new agent for further study As accurately and reliable as possible As quickly as possible Exposing as few patients to dose limiting toxicities (DLT) as possible Treating as many patients at therapeutic doses as possible Initiate pediatric evaluations of pharmacokinetic (and sometimes pharmacodynamic) behaviour of agent
11 Children s Oncology Group Disease Committees Discipline Committees Scientific Committees Developmental Therapeutics Committee Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 COG Phase 1 Pilot Consortium
12 Expertise Drug development expertise Pharmacology Biological correlates Phase 1 & 2 trial design & performance Monitoring Toxicity Reporting requirements Specimen acquisition Pharmacology Labs Biology Labs Regulatory oversight FDA/OHRP/NIH IND requirements Industry requirements
13 Quality Control/Quality Assurance Integrated throughout protocol design operations Clear and complete protocols Careful design of data collection screens Remote Data Entry system Formal study/data review by committee and DSMC Audits by OC/SDC/Theradex
14 Study Coordination and Monitoring Detailed reports of accrual and toxicity Distributed weekly to study chair & DVL chair/co-chair Reviewed on weekly leadership call At key decision points e.g. escalation, de-escalation, expansion Conference call between study chair, DVL chair/co-chair, SDC Coordinator, staff Make decision, or identify deficiencies that prevent decision
15 Phase 1 Consortium Accrual COG Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Overall Consortium Accrual By Grant Year 24 studies 603 patients 54 patients from Canada
16 Can Early Phase Trials in Pediatric Cancers be Done in Canada outside other consortia? 2005 Survey: 241 children relapsing/ 85 eligible for phase I 5/1 40/10 22/8 2/1 8/3 102/38 52/21 10/3 Can J Pharmacol, 2005
17 Standard 3+3 Design for Pediatric Phase 1 Trials Smith M, Bernstein M, Bleyer WA, et al. Conduct of phase 1 trials in children with cancer. J. Clin Oncol 1998:16: Begin at 70-80% of adult MTD Dose level escalations of approximately 30% Patients dose escalated in cohorts of 3 until DLT is observed One DLT leads to treatment of 3 additional patients at the current dose level Escalation continues if no additional DLT is observed Two instances of DLT, at a dose level, leads to a halt in dose escalation De-escalation continues until such a dose level is determined
18 Problems with Standard 3+3 Design for Pediatric Phase 1 Trials Imprecision in estimate of MTD Relatively time-consuming Limited pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data may be obtained across all dose levels
19 BENEFIT RESPONSES MEANINGFUL STABLE DISEASE NOT WELL DOCUMENTED PAIN CONTROL and QUALITY OF LIFE Access to skilled physician HOPE,psychological benefit Does not exclude access to palliative care
20 RISKS in Pediatric Phase 1 Trials Risks associated with pediatric phase 1 study are small The likelihood of developing a DLT once enrolled onto a study is 24%. The toxic death rate is 0.5% Median number of dose levels = 4, MTD defined at 3 rd dose level Median time to dose level completion = 77 days Median time to study completion = 452 days Pediatric MTD closely related to adult MTD Lee et al. J Clin Oncol. 2005
21 Rolling Six Design: Predications Concurrently enroll up to six patients onto a cohort Will allow the majority of phase 1 studies to be completed in less than one year A higher fraction of eligible patients will be able to enroll onto phase 1 studies There will be an increase in the number of new agents concurrently available for (randomized) phase 2 studies Mean ± SD of 3.3 ± 1.1 participants developed a DLT in the rolling six design, and 3.2 ± 1.1 participants developed a DLT in the design Skolnik JM, Barrett JS, Jayaraman B, et al. Shortening the timeline of pediatric phase 1 trials: the rolling six design. J Clin Oncol 2008:26:
22 Pharmacokinetics Scaling adult doses based solely on BSA ignores developmental changes Volume of distribution Drug clearance & metabolism Define drug disposition in children Correlate pharmacokinetic parameters with demographics and outcomes Develop limited sampling methods to allow for ongoing phenotyping in phase 2 and 3 trials
23 PHASE 1 Celecoxib STUDY Targeted PK STUDY Targeted Exposure to Celecoxib Concentration (ug/l) 1000 Original Modified 300 AUC 0-12 = 9410ug/L*h AUC 0-12 = ug/L*h Time (h)
24 Celecoxib: Steady State PK Steady State Plasma Concentration Time Curve Plasma concentration (ug/l) Without high fat food (n=16) With high fat food (n=7) Time post celecoxib dose (h)
25 Celecoxib Excessive exposure: An observation of safety Single Dose Plasma Concentration Time Curve Steady State Plasma Concentration Time Curve Plasma concentration (ug/l) Without food (n=20) With food (n=7) CYP2C9 *3/*3 Plasma concentration (ug/l) Without food (n=16) With food (n=7) CYP2C9 *3/*3 Time post celecoxib dose (h) Time post celecoxib dose (h)
26 Introduction to the Problem Some new agents may be difficult to evaluate in a standard phase 2 trial May not cause tumor shrinkage May have limited effect as single agents while contributing to a multi-drug regimen Resource and ethical concerns prevent immediate introduction of such new regimens into phase 3 Current pediatric phase 2 trials use 2- stage designs with total patients for stratum of 20-35
27 Phase 1 Trials with Escalation Based on Pharmacodynamic Endpoints Goal of determining: Optimum Biological Dose Biologically Adequate Dose [e.g., defined as either a dose that yields a specific (high) biological response rate or alternatively a dose in the plateau region] Driving force for these designs: There may be a plateau on the dose-efficacy curve so that higher doses may not improve clinical benefit Toxicity does not necessarily increase with increased doses, and toxicity may occur beyond doses that are yielding sufficient clinical benefit.
