2 A Question of Vaues: Is it worth it Patient care Improved cancer outcomes, by focusing the right therapy on the right patient - increase chance of: Cure Surviva Paiation Decrease exposure to toxicity of useess therapy

3 Incorporation of Tumor Marker Into Cinica Care What evidence is required from stakehoders? How is evidence currenty being generated? Are there innovative ways to generate higher quaity evidence more efficienty? What are the barriers to generating this evidence and how can they be overcome?

4 Incorporation of Tumor Marker Into Cinica Care What evidence is required from stakehoders? How is evidence currenty being generated? Are there innovative ways to generate higher quaity evidence more efficienty? What are the barriers to generating this evidence and how can they be overcome?

5 Definitions: Semantics Regarding Evidence for Tumor Markers Anaytica Utiity Does the assay accuratey and reproduciby measure what you say? Cinica Vaidity Does the assay actuay identify a bioogic difference ( pos vs. neg ) that may or may not be cinicay usefu? Cinica Utiity Do resuts of the assay ead to a cinica decision that has been shown with high eve of evidence to improve outcomes? Teutsch S.M., et a. Genet Med. 11:3-14, 2009

7 Adjuvant Systemic Therapy Shoud A Patients Receive A Therapy? If pt is wiing to accept ANY toxicity for ANY benefit: then treat her with everything If pt is wiing to forego SOME benefit to avoid SOME toxicity, OR If patient and society are wiing to forego SOME benefit to avoid cost: then seect therapy carefuy Depends on: We -defined subgroups that do or do not benefit from therapy Patient s, Doctor s, and Society s Perspectives Regarding Risks, Benefits, and Costs of Therapy

13 When is a Diagnostic Cinicay Usefu? It is either prognostic or predictive of cancer outcomes or predicts toxicity The magnitude of effect is sufficienty arge that cinica decisions based on the data resut in outcomes that are acceptabe Greater chance for benefit Smaer toxicity risk The estimate of magnitude of effect is reiabe Assay is reproducibe Cinica tria/marker study design is appropriate Resuts are vaidated in subsequent we-designed studies (Leves of Evidence I or II) Henry N.L., Hayes DF; Oncoogist. 11:541-52, 2006

14 Vaue of Cancer Diagnostics: Identify Those Patients for Whom Benefits Do NOT Outweigh Risks, and Therefore We Can Safey Recommend Withhoding that Treatment Prognosis Prediction 100% cure P r o g 50% cure n o s I s 10% cure Factor 1 Neg Factor 2 Neg No Therapy Factor 1 Pos Factor 2 Pos Therapy P=<0.05 No Therapy Factor 1 Pos Factor 2 Pos Factor 2 Neg Factor 1 Neg Therapy P=<0.05

15 Cancer Diagnostics: Why Use Them? Identify patients who woud FOREGO or DISCONTINUE therapy to AVOID toxicities. A are exposed to cost and toxicity Some but not a positive patients wi benefit Few if any negative patients wi benefit

28 Undervaue of Tumor Markers: Muti-factora Tumor Marker Research is not perceived to be as exciting or important as new therapeutics, especiay the cinica component Less Academic credit Breast Cancer Steering Committee Review of New Concept: of course, the secondary randomization to new drug is the exciting part Less Funding Cancer Center Support Grants: ack of investigator initiated THERAPEUTIC Trias is significant weakness Less Rigor Less evidence required for cinica use FDA Guideines Panes Less QC/QA/Proficiency testing (test dependent) Less reimbursement

29 Undervaue of Tumor Markers: A Vicious Cyce Marker Utiity is Poory Vaued Less Certainty of Data; Less Vaue for Tumor Marker Cinica Utiity Few Recommendations for Cinica Use Poor Leve of Reimbursement Lower Funding for Tumor Marker Research Lower Leve of Evidence (Private, Pubic) Litte Incentive to do Propery Designed and Controed Cinica Studies Poor Reguatory Organization Regarding Cinica Data Needed to Approve Test CLIA/LDTs

30 Acceptance of Tumor Markers: Baance of Carrots and Sticks Rapid Cinica Acceptance Patient and cinician desire Financia and academic benefits Vaidated Cinica Utiity LOE I studies Financia burden/low Payoff

31 Highy Vaued Tumor Markers: A Virtuous Cyce FDA/Guideines Panes/Tech Assessment Panes SOCIETY Marker Advocacy Utiity Community is Highy Vaued CMS/BCBS/ etc Leve I Data; High Vaue for Tumor Marker Cinica Utiity Strong Recommendations for Cinica Use High Leve of Reimbursement Leve I Evidence Higher Funding for Tumor Marker Research (Private, Pubic) Huge Incentive to do Propery Designed and Controed Cinica Studies Unified FDA and Guideines Approva/Recommendations Cooper Groups, Cancer Centers, Industry NCI/Industry/ DOD/Phianth

32 Increase Vaue of Tumor Markers: Proposas Recom ns for cinica tumor marker use be evidence-based for cinica utiity Increase reimbursement for tumor markers IF cinica utiity Increase funding for tumor marker research = to that for therapeutics. Reform reguatory review of tumor markers. Organize Oncoogic Product Line incuding ODAC and OIVD FDA criteria shoud require anaytica vaidity and cinica utiity Eiminate aboratory deveoped test discretion Require new drug registration trias have biospecimen bank Enhance academic credit for tumor marker studies Increase rigor of tumor marker pubications (severa pubications- REMARK, etc) = Therapeutic Trias

45 Tumor Marker evaluation What is the probem? There appears to be an Inconsistent/Uncear path to cinica acceptance: FDA criteria for cearance/approva may not consider specific cnica utiity FDA cearance does not mean an assay shoud be used cinicay Laboratory Deveoped Tests (LBT): Home Brew rue - An assay can be marketed without FDA cearance Disagreement about what outcomes need to be improved, and how to measure them There is a disconnect among Guideines Panes and between them and FDA Low reimbursement Entrepreneurs cannot afford to deveop new markers if cost of doing so is substantiay increased

46 Increase Vaue of Tumor Markers: Proposas Increase research $$ for cinica trias directed towards markers Cinica trias in which marker is primary objective of study Cinica trias in which marker is secondary endpoint Co-deveopment; or at the east- Coection and storage of specimens in association with PRCTs Consoidate a Oncoogy Reguatory activities within FDA Create an ODAC -ike committee for tumor markers Maintain CLIA as mediator of QA/QC; but eiminate home brew designation A LDTs? Seected assays? New assays? Have FDA stipuate that no registry tria be accepted without prospective pan for specimen bank: Prospective co-deveopment pan; or at the east Coection/storage Transparent system to access specimens Independent peer review Adequate IP protection Increase rigor of tumor marker approva to meet a criteria needed for cinica adoption of a tumor marker Severa Pubications Increase reimbursement commensurate with increased rigor in approva process (as for therapeutics) Fundamentay change method of care-giver reimbursement, so that doctors get paid for doing the right thing, and not for recommending their gimmick
