7 Definition of Companion diagnostics A companion diagnostics is a medical device, which provides information that is essential for the safe and effective use of a corresponding drug or biological product. The test helps a health care professional determine whether a particular therapeutic product s benefits to patients will outweigh any potential serious side effects or risks. Dx s (IVD) Qualitative yes for no to the presence of the biomarker Minor variation in sensitivity between lots, runs, locations do not change the overall test outcome CDx s (IVD Class III) Generally quantitative by nature (only those patients with expression above a threshold (cut-off) are eligible for treatment Minor variations in sensitivity between lots, runs, locations may change the test outcome IVD (IVD class I) Histology CDx-IVD (IVD class III) YES ( Yes it s a carcinoma ) YES ( Yes it s a carcinoma ) YES ( Yes it s a carcinoma ) No ( Its NOT a carcinoma, but a different tumor type ) xxxx xxx xx +400 Positive (above cut-off) Eligible for drug X +300 Borderline (around cut-off) Re-test +200 Negative (below cut-off) Not eligible for drug X 0 Negative (below cut-off) Not eligible for drug X 7

8 Unfavorable discordance - Increase of Drug development for Targeted therapies - Test increase of detection / measure of biomarker for investigation of Intention to Treat population Discordant result -> accurate, reproducible and clinically useful companion diagnostic test

9 What is Precision Medicine? U.S. FDA Guidance Personalized medicine (also referred to as Precision medicine ) relies on the use of in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices to detect and measure biomarkers and other individual characteristics of disease or other conditions with the goal of better directing patient treatment. Document issued on: Dec.18,

10 What is Precision Medicine? U.S. FDA Guidance - When accurate testing for molecular alterations is essential for the safe and effective use of the drug, an FDA-cleared or -approved assay should be commercially available at the time of drug approval to identify patients in the clinical setting. Document issued on: Dec.18, The FDA may grant exceptions when the drug is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening condition for which no satisfactory alternative treatment exists, and FDA determines that the benefits from the use of the drug outweigh the risks from the lack of an approved or cleared in vitro companion diagnostic device. 10

13 2. Global Regulatory Trend

14 U.S regulatory Overview Currently, about 36 companion diagnostic tests for valid genomic biomarkers are approved in the United States. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is focused on the co-development of the drug diagnostic approach. Companion diagnostic products are classified as Class III high risk and are subject to approval by the FDA. Source: Frost & Sullivan

16 Comparison of regulatory pathway for CDx US EU China Japan Korea Risk Classification Device Classification Class I Class A Class I Class I Class I Little or no Risk Class II Class III Class B Class II Class II Class II Class C Class III Class III Class III Class D Class IV Class IV Medium Risk High Risk

17 Definition of CDx in Japan A CDx is essential for using the pertinent therapeutic product, and corresponds to either of the following (except in vitro diagnostic agents or medical devices intended simply for disease diagnosis, etc.) : CDx is used to identify patients who are expected to respond better to a specific therapeutic product CDx is used to identify patients who are likely to be at high risk of developing adverse events associated with a particular therapeutic product CDx is necessary for optimizing the treatment including dose, schedule, and discontinuation of a particular therapeutic product Notification on Approval Application for In-vitro companion diagnostics and corresponding therapeutic products Source: T. Suzuki, National institute of Health science

18 Comparison of regulatory pathway for CDx Definition of CDx Labeling Requirments Biomarkernegative patients US EU Japan (i) to identify patients most likely to benefit from a therapeutic product, and (ii) to identify patients likely to be at an increased risk for serious adverse reactions as a result of treatment with the therapeutic product, and (iii) to monitor response to treatment with the therapeutic product for the purpose of adjusting treatment to achieve improved safety or effectiveness. To identify patients in the population for whom the therapeutic product X has been adequately studied, and found safe and effective. In addition to the drug labeling inform ation about sets of companion diagnosti None of the products contained a reference to a specific companion diagnostic cs placed on the corresponding therapeuproduct in the therapeutic indication. tic product. Inclusion of biomarker-negative patients in early-phase clinical trials is mentioned more clearly in the Japanese guidance than in the US guidance or EU draft guidance. Retrospective vs. prospective clinical trials The Japanese guidance goes further, uniquely highlighting prospectively designed retrospective three exceptional cases in which it may be difficult to clinical utility studies may be possible. conduct prospective randomized controlled trials. Nature biotechnology, vol34, no.2, Feb 2016

19 Comparison of regulatory pathway for CDx (continued) The Japanese guidance goes further, uniquely highlighting three exceptional cases in which it may be difficult to conduct prospective randomized controlled trials. First, cases in which running a trial would be questionable on ethical grounds because patients who have a biomarker are subject to extremely serious adverse events when the corresponding therapeutic is administered. Second, cases in which running a trial would be questionable on practical grounds because too few patients in a population carry the biomarker of interest and thus the patient cohort in the trial would be too small. Third, cases in which evaluation of the biomarker on the basis of retrospective analyses is valid even after considering potential biases that arise from such post factum studies.

21 E.U regulatory trend Class C Medical device.. CE Marking CE Medical Device IVD-CDx should be classified as Class C Update on safety and clinical implication report / year 21

22 New rules for IVDs, EU The set of rules covering IVDs will take effect in 2022, The new rules, the EC said, will improve "market surveillance and traceability" and ensure that all IVDs and medical devices are designed "to reflect the latest scientific and technology state of the art." Additionally, they will create more transparency for consumers and certainty for manufacturers of such products, while strengthening international competitiveness and innovation. Also, a financial mechanism will be created to ensure that patients who have been harmed by defective medical devices will be financially compensated. 22

23 3. Korea Regulatory Trend

24 Medical device classification in korea Medical devices in Korea are regulated by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS). Manufacturers must follow the requirements of the Medical Devices Act and register with the MFDS before entering the Korean market. Source: MFDS, Korea

25 in Korea Oct MFDS IVD-CDx Guideline (Doc#_B ) Currently, the development and approval of new drug and companion diagnostics have been conducted separately in Korea. The companion diagnostics in Korea have labels to show the safety and effectiveness of drugs. However, the labels on the drug does not specify companion diagnostics but refer to biomarker test including homebrew assay. Because the accuracy of diagnostics has a great influence on patients in the case of high-risk therapeutic drugs, a strict regulation system of diagnostic products is essential for the benefit of patient and payers.

26 Follow-on CDx Analytical validation Same gene/variant level validation as original CDx Published Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data (SSED) as reference Method comparison with approved CDx No drug trial required Banked samples from intended use population Requirement for preservation of drug efficacy Variability between follow-on CDx and originally approved CDx should be within the variability of originally approved CDx

28 Follow-on CDx Non-inferiority Test (US) vs Equivalence Test (Korea) Terms: CCD: Comparator companion diagnostic FCD: Follow-on Companion diagnostic To support the identical therapeutic indications as CCD, the safety and effectiveness of FCD and CCD should be comparable. There are two approaches: New clinical trial Retest of patients samples from the original clinical trial While the two approaches above are ideal, they may be difficult or impractical to follow. Suggestion: External concordance study to evaluate the clinical performance of FCD when the direct estimate of the therapeutic efficacy in FCD s intented use population is not feasible.

EGFR T790M mutation- Positive NSCLC Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) Warning & Precautions EGFR T790M mutation positive NSCLC, as detected by an FDA approved test EGFR mutation status should be determined using a validated test method EGFR T790M mutation tests p erformed by a thoroughly expe rienced pathologist or testing laboratory. Approved IVDs should be us ed for the test. EGFR T790M status should be determined using a validated test method In Australia A validated test should be performed in a clinical laboratory using either tumor tissue DNA or circulating tumor DNA (ctdna) obtained from a blood (plasma) sample. Only robust, reliable and sensitive test(s) with demonstrated utility for the determination of EGFR mutation status should be used (see CLINICAL TRIALS_eg.Cobas EGFR test) Korea : It is not specified on the label of the drug. It is not necessary. U.S, Japan : Always use approved CDx for prescription of drugs. It is specified on the label of the drug.

38 High risk of LDT Nov. 2015, FDA pointed out the Risk of Laboratory Developed Test 38

39 Why CDx pursues IVD * Poor Concordance Between Local and Central laboratory HER2 testing A total of 1,198 breast carcinoma samples were collected from 6 institutions in Korea. Of the 1,198 samples, 959 (80%) samples for local IHC, central IHC were analyzed Bae et al., 2012 Interlaboratory concordance in HER2 status The results of local and central IHC were consistent for 783 samples, with a concordance rate of 81.6% Of the 211 samples with a local IHC result of positive, 140 (66.4%) samples were concordant with a central IHC results. 39 E.A. Perez et al. / Cancer Treatment Reviews 40 (2014)

40 LDT vs. FDA-approved assay Are there performance differences between laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) and US Food and Drug Administration approved companion diagnostics (FDA-CDx)? 1. Lack of no. of specimens 2. Different proportions of specimens using LDT and FDA-approved kit 3. Through the results of just three mutations, can not represent other complicated test methods The risk of LDT still exists.. JAMA Oncol. doi: /jamaoncol

41 Who Have the responsibility of the risk of homebrew assay in Korea? MFDS vs Ministry of Health and Welfare vs Medical Doctor Patients only - Patients right to select Diagnosis - Can patients use an overseas diagnostic laboratory that provides services with CDx products because their clinical evidence level is higher? - If the government or physician does not inform the patient of this fact, is this not a significant infringement of the patient's rights?

42 Risk of Homebrew assay Laboratory Developed Test In U.S.. Ongoing FDA has established and continues to implement a unique device identification system to adequately identify medical devices through their distribution and use. When fully implemented, the label of most devices will include a unique device identifier (UDI) in human- and machinereadable form. - Adverse effects to patients caused by diagnostic errors - Who take responsibility?? Doctor? Lab? Regulatory Body? - It is impossible to trace the diagnostic errors. - Can you trust the results? - In the case of NGS, different SW &DB are used, so the results may differ.

54 NGS for Medicare beneficiaries with advanced cancer Proposed Decision Memo for Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) for Medicare Beneficiaries with Advanced Cancer (CAG-00450N) 1. Patient has: 1 either recurrent, relapsed, refractory, metastatic, or advanced stages III or IV cancer 2 either not been previously tested using the same NGS test for the same primary diagnosis of cancer or repeat testing using the same NGS test only when a new primary cancer diagnosis is made by the treating physician 3 decided to seek further cancer treatment (e.g., therapeutic chemotherapy) 2. The diagnostic laboratory test using NGS must have: 1 FDA approval or clearance as a companion in vitro diagnostic 2 an FDA approved or cleared indication for use in that patient s cancer 3 results provided to the treating physician for management of the patient using a report template to specify treatment options. 54

55 NGS based test and Medicare coverage CMS has proposed three pathways through which NGS cancer panels may garner Medicare coverage. - The agency said it will grant full coverage for genetic markers on the panel that have premarket approval (PMA) from the FDA as a companion diagnostic where testing is required for the safe and effective use of a drug. - For markers without CDx status, but that the FDA has cleared or approved for use in a patient's treatment plan with other information (such as MSKCC 468-gene oncopanel MSKIMPACT), CMS is willing to grant coverage with evidence development (CED), when the lab collects patient outcomes in a prospective registry. - For lab-developed tests without the FDA's blessing that are performed in a CLIA-certified lab the majority of tests on the market CMS is proposing CED when tests are included in a National Cancer Institute National Clinical Trial Network study. 55

59 Risk of NGS-based test.. CMS-Proposed Coverage of NGS Cancer Tests Could Lead to Off-Label Scripts, Oncologists Worry (27 th Feb, 2018) CMS: Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Solid tumor patient Positive Negative A perspective that hasn't gotten as much attention is that the CMS draft coverage decision is perhaps not restrictive enough, and that the policy could be bad for patients by increasing off-label drug use based on the results of NGS panels. Off-Label prescription (Increase risk of Patient)

60 Streamlining FDA s Regulatory Oversight of NGS tests The FDA's Role in Advancing Precision Medicine (April. 2018) 1) In April 2018, the FDA issued two final guidances that recommend approaches to streamline the submission and review of data supporting the clinical and analytical validity of NGS-based tests. 2) These recommendations are intended to provide an efficient and flexible regulatory oversight approach: as technology advances, standards can rapidly evolve and be used to set appropriate metrics for fast growing fields such as NGS. 3) Similarly, as clinical evidence improves, new assertions could be supported. 4) This adaptive approach would ultimately foster innovation among test developers and improve patients' access to these new technologies.
