Jan Trøst Jørgensen Workshop on Companion Diagnostics - January 31,

2 Companion & Complementary Diagnostics Introduction and History Definitions Drug-Diagnostic Co-Development What can be achieved? Regulatory Aspects Conclusion and Future Perspectives Jan Trøst Jørgensen Workshop on Companion Diagnostics - January 31,

3 Disease Heterogeneity In order to achieve a more effective pharmacotherapy we need to recognize that most diseases are heterogeneous and thus develop drugs accordingly Jørgensen JT. A challenging drug development process in the era of personalized medicine. Drug Discov Today 2011;16: Jan Trøst Jørgensen Workshop on Companion Diagnostics - January 31,

4 Drug-Diagnostic Combinations Oncology A high degree of correlation between response and positive estrogen-receptor assay suggests the value of the diagnostic test as a means to select patients for tamoxifen treatment Lerner HJ et al. Phase II study of tamoxifen: report of 74 patients with stage IV breast cancer. Cancer Treat Rep. 60, (1976). Tamoxifen Breast Cancer HER2 Breast Cancer FDA Approves: Trastuzumab + HercepTest Imatinib, Gefitinib, Vemurafenib, Crizotinib, Pertuzumab, Ceritinib, Pembrolizumab and more Jan Trøst Jørgensen Workshop on Companion Diagnostics - January 31,

5 Companion Diagnostics (CDx) US Definition 1 A CDx assay is an in vitro diagnostics device that provides information that is essential for the safe and effective use of a corresponding therapeutic product: 1. Identify patients who are most likely to benefit from the therapeutic product 2. Identify patients likely to be at increased as a result of treatment with the therapeutic product risk for serious adverse reactions 3. Monitor response to treatment with the therapeutic product for the purpose of adjusting treatment (e.g., schedule, dose, discontinuation) to achieve improved safety or effectiveness 4. Identify patients in the population for whom the therapeutic product has been adequately studied, and found safe and effective, i.e., there is insufficient information about the safety and effectiveness of the therapeutic product in any other population 1. In Vitro Companion Diagnostic Devices. Guidance Document. FDA, August 6, Jan Trøst Jørgensen Workshop on Companion Diagnostics - January 31,

6 Companion Diagnostics (CDx) Proposed EU Definition 1 A device which is essential for the safe and effective use of a corresponding medicinal product: 1. Identify, before and/or during treatment, patients who are most likely to benefit from the corresponding medicinal product; or 2. Identify, before and/or during treatment, patients likely to be at increased risk for serious adverse reactions as a result of treatment with the corresponding medicinal product; 1. Council of the European Union. (2016) Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on in vitro diagnostic medical devices /16. August 31, ( Jan Trøst Jørgensen Workshop on Companion Diagnostics - January 31,

7 Complementary Diagnostics (CDx) Preliminary US Definition 1 A test that identify a biomarker-defined subset of patients that respond particularly well to a drug and aid risk/benefit assessments for individual patients, but that are not pre requisites for receiving the drug. Drugs with US FDA approved complementary diagnostic: Nivolumab for NSCLC and Melanoma (PD-L1 IHC 28-8 pharmdx) Atezolizumab for NSCLC and Urothelial Carcinoma (VENTANA PD-L1 (SP142) assay) 1.
