History of Evaluation of Carcinogenicity First demonstration of chemical carcinogenesis in animals Yamagiwa and Ichikawa 1918 Rabbit skin tumors related to coal tar administration Standard Chronic Bioassay for carcinogenicity Started in 1960s Enhanced by National Cancer Institute Program National Toxicology Program (NTP) Founded in 1978 Significant impact on testing approaches ICH Guideline for carcinogenicity testing 1990s 4

Carcinogenicity Testing Historical Perspective 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 Future Carcinogenicity Study Observations Standardized Carcinogenicity Testing Carcinogenicity Evaluation Experiments Sort term assays Application of molecular basis of Carcinogenicity Humanized rodents 5

Possible Objective of Carcinogenicity Testing 1. Screening chemicals to identify carcinogenicity 2. Characterizing a dose response curve in observable range 3. Characterizing dose response curve to facilitate low dose extrapolation 4. Defining a threshold or bench mark dose departure point 5. Providing dt data on health effects at human exposure levels 6. Providing data to determine modeof of action Critical Reviews in Toxicology 37: 729 837, 2007 6

Objective of Carcinogenicity Testing Theobjectives of carcinogenicity studies are to identify a tumorigenic potential in animals and to assess the relevant risk in humans ICH S1A 7

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies 8

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Requirement for study set by regulatory agencies Pharmaceuticals (Standardized by ICH) Requirements essentially the same in US, Europe and Japan Minor differences based on local preferences and on differences in interpretation of ICH guidelines Chemicals Greater variation in requirements compared to pharmaceuticals 9

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Historically, two rodent species required with dosing for 18 months to 2 years Subsequently 2 year rat and mouse studies became the norm Currently for pharmaceuticals, one long term rodent carcinogenicity study, plus one otherstudy that supplements thelong term carcinogenicity study (ICHS1B) 10

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Approaches to supplement e a single gelong gterm carcinogenicity study Initiation promotion in rodents Models of carcinogenesis Transgenic rodents (Specific to be presented later in lecture) Neonatal rodents Long term carcinogenicity study in a second rodent species is still acceptable ICHS1B 11

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Duration and exposure in humans Studies should be performed for pharmaceuticals where clinical use is expected for at least 6 months Studies should be performed where drug is used intermittently for treatment of a chronic or recurrent condition ICH S1A 12

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Cause for concern Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Carcinogenic potential in product class considered relevant for humans Structure activity relationship Evidence of preneoplastic lesions Long term tissue retention of drug or metabolite ICH S1A 13

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Genotoxicity Unequivocal genotoxic compounds do not require a carcinogenicity study Presumed to be trans species carcinogens Imply a human hazard Single positive genotoxicity assay does not necessarily imply a human genotoxic hazard ICH S1A 14

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Indication and Human Population Carcinogenicity studies generally needed for application for marketing approval Post approval submission may be acceptable if drug is for certain serious diseases Studies may not be required if life expectancy is short (i.e. less than 2 3 years) Studies generally not needed prior to large clinical trials Unless there is concern for patient population ICH S1A 15

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Route of exposure Route of exposure should be the same as clinical route. However: Carcinogenicity studies are required by only one route if similar metabolism and systemic exposure is demonstrated for the different routes ICH S1A 16

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Extent of systemic exposure Systemic carcinogenicity studies may not be required for optical products if Poorly absorbable No cause for concern ICH S1A 17

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Endogenous peptides pp and proteins Determine need for assessment based on S1A Design strategy to address carcinogenicity potential; use weight of evidence (WOE) approach based on all available information 1. If WOE supports concern; rodent bioassay is not warranted. Address by Product Labeling Risk management practices ICH S1A; ICH S6 (NOTE: Revised June 2011) 18

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Endogenous peptides pp and proteins (continued) Design strategy to address carcinogenicity potential; use weight of evidence (WOE) approach based on all available information 2. If weight of evidence is unclear Sponsor should propose additional studies to mitigate mechanism based concern ICH S6 (NOTE: Revised June 2011) 19

Requirement for Carcinogenicity Studies Pharmaceuticals Factors to Consider Endogenous peptides pp and proteins (continued) Rodent bioassays with homologous products are generally of limited value to assess carcinogenicity ICH S6 (NOTE: Revised June 2011) 20

Predicting Carcinogenicity Great interest in predicting carcinogenicity study results Effect on product viability Cost and time to perform a carcinogenicity study Multiple l attempts t to broadly predict carcinogenicity but none are accepted today 21

Predicting Carcinogenicity Observations that Increase Probability of Carcinogenicity Genotoxicity carries a high liability for potential carcinogenicity Rarely an issue since genotoxic agents are dropped from development Prolonged increase in cell proliferation increases probability of tumor response Thyroid hyperplasia Enhanced prolactin secretion Renal ltubular injury related ltdto alpha 2u globulin l li accumulation Increase in hyperplasia p in chronic toxicity studies 22

Planning for Carcinogenicity Study 23

Planning for Carcinogenicity Study Planning for carcinogenicity studies is frequently given belated consideration Factors that should be considered at beginning and throughout toxicological assessment of molecule Selection of species/strain Metabolic profile compared to humans Exposure profile Sites of tissue injury 24

Planning for Carcinogenicity Study Recommendation: Schedule data review 6 to 12 months prior to projected start of carcinogenicity study to assess data gaps Toxicity data in animals and humans Sites of tissue injury Understanding of mechanism of injury Exposure data in animals and humans Metabolic profiles in animals and humans 25

Study Design (2 year study) 26

Study Design Species and Strain Selection Rat and mouse generally used Rat considered more sensitive than mouse (ICH S1B) Other species may be used based on metabolism or biological considerations Hamsters Marmosets Macaca monkeys Dogs 27

Study Design Species and Strain Selection Animals in the carcinogenicity study should be same as in the pre carcinogenicity program Species Strain Source Commonly used strains Rats Sprague Dawley Wistar Han F344 Mouse CD 1 Swiss B6C3F1 28

Study Design Species and Strain Selection Commonly used strains (Frequent compound use, location) Rats Sprague Dawley (Pharmaceutical, US) Wistar han (Pharmaceutical, Europe) F344 (Chemical and Pesticide, US and Europe) Mouse Swiss (Pharmaceuticals, US and Europe) B6C3F1 (Chemical and Pesticides, US and Europe) 29

Study Design Route of Administration Relevant mode of administration should be used Oral pharmaceutical = gavage Dermal pharmaceutical = dermal Air contaminant = inhalation Water pollutant = drinking water Dietary contaminant = feeding 30

Study Design Route of Administration Gavage versus feed administration can result in very different toxicity and carcinogenicity profile Alter MTD Different Cmax Metabolism may be altered due to saturation of metabolism with high exposure at Cmax in gavage study 31

Study Design Diet Restriction Diet restriction (70 75% 75% of ad libitum) has been used in carcinogenicity studies Value of food restriction Increased survival Decreased spontaneous disease incidence id e.g. spontaneous nephropathy Limitation i i Increased cost 32

Study Design Diet Restriction Pre carcinogenicity studies must utilize diet restriction if considered for carcinogenicity study Diet restriction may increase MTD by 2 to 4X Toxicokinetics i may be affected although lh hit is frequently unchanged 33

Study Design Number of Groups Number of groups will vary depending on objective and preceding toxicity data Vehicle 1 Vehicle 2 Low Dose Middle Dose High Dose 34

Study Design Dose Selection Doses selected based on objective of study 35

Issues in the Design and Interpretation of Carcinogenicity Studies in Rodents Approaches to Dose Selection Critical Reviews in Toxicology 37:729 837,2007 Rodent Carcinogenicity Studies Dose Selection for Carcinogenicity Dose Selection and Evaluation Studies of Pharmaceuticals (US EPA 2003) (ICH S1C 1997; Revised 2008) 36

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals The objectives of carcinogenicitystudies are to identify a tumorigenic potential in animals and to assess the relevant risk in humans ICH S1B Dose selection has been standardized through the ICH process Dose selection guideline first developed in 1994 with subsequent revisions Current ICH guideline is S1C(R2) revised in March 2008 37

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Carcinogenicity studies typically have 3 dose groups plus one or more control groups High dose has traditionally been selected based on a Maximum Tolerated Dose Doses are selected dbased on 3 month or 6 month toxicity studies that have defined multiple li l toxicity ii parameters 38

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Considerations for Dose Ranging Studies Metabolic profile in selected rodent species/strain should be as similar as possible to humans Studydata data must be available from bothmale andfemale animals Data required from 90 day studies Dosing schedule and regimen should be based on clinical use Toxicity profile and dose limiting limitingtoxicitytoxicity shouldbe characterized Changes in metabolite profile and changes in enzyme activity should be established ICH S1C(R2) 39

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Selection of high dose (6 approaches) Toxicity based endpoints (MTD) Pharmacokinetic endpoints (25 fold AUC ratio) Saturation of absorption Pharmacodynamic endpoints Maximum feasible dose Limit dose Additional endpoints ICH S1C(R2) 40

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Toxicity endpoints in high dose selection Continue use of the MTD MTD is defined in ICH as a dose that is expected to produce a minimum toxic effect over the course of the carcinogenicity study Factors for consideration: No more than 10% decrease in body weight gain Target organ toxicity Significant alterations in clinical pathology 41

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Pharmacokinetic endpoints Selection of high dose may be based on a 25 to 1 ratio of rodent to human plasma AUC of parent compound and /or metabolite Approach his very useful lbut complex in application 42

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Factors that require consideration in the use of 25 fold exposure approach for setting high dose Adequate animal TK and human PK data should be available for parent and metabolite Frequently the maximum recommended human dose or human PK at this dose is not fully defined when a carcinogenicity study must be initiated Similarities of metabolism may be debatable Selection of parent or parent and metabolite as the basis for comparison may not be clear Protein binding must be considered since the 25 fold should be based on free drug 43

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Application of a pharmacokinetic approach is best utilized when: Recommended human dose is clearly defined Dose will not change for another indication Minimal metabolism occurs in humans and animals A large number of metabolites complicates the application of this approach Minimal inter individual variability in human exposure The animal to human AUC ratio is much greater than 25 Relatively l small changes in PK from ongoing studies may change the ratio to less than 25 44

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Saturation of absorption High dose should not exceed the maximum absorption 45

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Pharmacodynamic endpoints The pharmacologic effect should preclude use of a higher dose Inhibition of blood clotting Hypotension Neuroactive agents 46

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Maximum feasible dose 5% of diet has historically been a maximum feasible dose May also be limited by maximum gavage volume (generally 10 ml/kg) Results from poor solubility Other vehicles should be considered Acceptance of pharmacokinetic endpoints should reduce use of Maximum Feasible Dose 47

Limit dose Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Limit dose is 1500 mg/kg/day if the maximum recommended human dose is not greater than 500 mg/day Rodent systemic exposure should ldbe at least 10X greater than human exposure at the human therapeutic dose 48

Study Design Dose Selection Pharmaceuticals Selection of middle and low doses Should be selected to provide insight into relevance of study results to humans. Should not be specific fractions of the high dose Factors to consider Human exposure Ideally low dose should provide at least a small multiple l of the human exposure Linearity or lack of linearity of the rodent exposure curve Mechanistic considerations Threshold of minimal effects in dose range studies Minimal necrosis Enhanced cell proliferation Alteration in rodent physiology 49

Single control group Two control groups Study Design Control Groups Duplicate Vehicle versus non vehicle 50

Single control group Study Design Control Groups Good science mandates a control group Single control group is acceptable Variation in background tumor incidence occurs in carcinogenicity studies Within a laboratory in a similar time period Drift in background tumor incidence cde ceoe over time 51

Two control groups Study Design Control Groups Duplicate (most frequently used) Increases the total number of control animalsto assist in statistical evaluation Provides a backup control group in case of poor survival in one control group Provides an internal control on the control group in case one control group has an unusually high or low incidence of background tumors 52

Study Design Duplicate Control Groups Examples of differences between Sprague Dawley rat control groups Tumor Control 1 Control 2 Sex Adrenal Pheochromocytoma Skin fibroma/dermal fibroma 7/60 14/60 Male 6/60 2/60 Female Thyroid C cell 8/50 1/49 Female adenoma Adapted from: Toxicologic Pathology 33:283 291, 2005 53

Two control groups Study Design Control Groups Duplicate (most frequently used) Vehicle versus non vehicle Uncommonly used Used when a novel vehicle is included eg e.g. to increase solubility to increase dose 54

Study Design Group Size Common group size ranges from 50 to 70 animals/group Goal: Assure adequate number of animals survive to study termination Histological evaluation Statistical analysis Group size should be based on survival history Species/strain from the source to be utilized Recent historical data from the laboratory 55

Study Design Clinical Pathology Clinical pathology evaluation generally not included at end of study Non neoplastic neoplastic effects of compound previously determined in chronic multi dose studies Complications of spontaneous diseasee e.g. Liver tumors Chronic kidney disease 56

Organ Weights Organ weights are not collected in carcinogenicity studies Organ weights at study termination are not helpful due to effects of: Neoplasms Spontaneous Compound induced Non neoplastic spontaneous disease Debilitation 57

Study Design Tissue Collection STP minimum core list of recommended tissues (Tox Path 31: 252 253, 2003) includes: 40 tissues (see reference) Organ or tissues with gross lesions Tissue masses Additional tissues based on study design e.g.: Nasal cavity, larynx and tracheobroncial lymph nodes in inhalation i study Administration sites for IV or skin application studies 58

Study Design Histopathology Histological diagnosis of tumors is the ultimate basis for determining carcinogenicity in an appropriately designed and performed study Important issues: Collection of appropriate tissues Plan for reading tissues from unscheduled deaths Determine approach for pathologist evaluation Pathology peer review 59

Transgenic Mouse Studies Alternative Carcinogenicity Studies 60

Transgenic Mouse Studies Currently, one long gterm rodent carcinogenicity study, plus one other study that supplements the long term carcinogenicity study (ICHS1B, 1997) Initiation promotion studies Transgenic mouse studies Neonatal rodent studies Transgenic mice are now accepted in place of the 2 year mouse study More than a decade of refinement of the approachto usingtransgenicmice 61

Transgenic Mouse Studies Approximately 20% of all proposed mouse studies used transgenic mice in period from 2002 2010 2010 Appears to be a trend to the use of transgenic mice although FDA transgenic mouse protocol submissions have remained constant at 20% Large companies using transgenic models dlmore readily than small companies 40% of proposed mouse studies used transgenic mice in 2011 62

Transgenic Mouse studies Primary Reasons for Acceptance of Transgenic Mouse Models High level of comfort on part of sponsors and regulatory agencies No significanttechnicaltechnical problems with studies Survival Background tumor incidence Results of WT control Results of positive control Diagnostic issues with tumors 63

Transgenic Mouse studies Primary Reasons for Acceptance of Transgenic Mouse Models No longer a concern that transgenic models may produce a high rate of false positives Early assessment of transgenic studies indicated a good record to predict known or suspected human carcinogens (Environmental Health Perspectives 111(4), 444 454, 2003) Recent transgenic mouse submission to FDA have identified very few positive results 64

Transgenic Mouse studies Models may be currently underutilized 65

Transgenic Mouse Studies Today the predominant mouse models are: P53+/ (P53 KO) Accepted in US only for genotoxic compounds Accepted in Europe for both genotoxic and nongenotoxic compounds TgrasH2 (Multiple copies of human ras gene) Preferred model in US for non genotoxic compounds 66

Transgenic Mouse Studies Other transgenic mouse models Tg.AC Used only for products with dermal application Therefore infrequently used Supplier no longer provides this mouse XPA / Was evaluated for possible future use Not routinely used Appears to be little to no interest currently 67

Transgenic Mouse Studies Special Study Design Features Treat for 6 months Spontaneous tumors will develop after this time Group size: 25 animals MTD only accepted approach to high dose selection Wild type mice used in dose selection studies to set MTD Positive control should be included in the study unless reproducibility of study results are established for the laboratory Standard histopathology criteria used for diagnosis of tumors 68

Review of Study Plan 69

Review of Study Plan Two levels of review Internal review Regulatory review 70

Review of Study Plan Internal Should include a full review of study plan with special emphasis: Objective Doses selected Review should ldbe performed dby persons familiar with: Toxicology program of the molecule and related molecules if relevant Design and performance of carcinogenicity studies 71

Review of Study Plan Regulatory review (FDA review by CAC) Carcinogenicity studies are the only toxicology studies that are eligible for special protocol assessment under PDUFA Primary review responsibility is with the division but submissions areroutinelyroutinely sent to CAC Review covers study type, doses employed and other design issue Guidance for Industry, Carcinogenicity Study Protocol Assessment, Food and Drug Administration i ti CDER 72

Review of Study Plan Regulatory review (FDA review by CAC) Information ato to be included in review e package age appropriate for the study design Carcinogenicity study protocol Study report for pre carcinogenicity studies Metabolic profiles in humans and carcinogenicity studyspecies species. Ideally in vivo; in vitro acceptable Toxicokinetic data for parent and each major human metabolite Exposure for parent drug and major metabolites from clinical trials at the maximum recommended human dose 73

Review of Study Plan Regulatory review (FDA review by CAC) Information to be included in review package appropriate for the study design (continued) Plasmaprotein binding in humans and animals for parent drug and major human metabolites Summaryof genotoxicity study results for parent and major human metabolites. 74

Review of Study Plan Regulatory review (FDA review by CAC) Submission process Notify review division 30 days prior to submission Submission should be clearly marked REQUEST FOR SPECIAL PROTOCOL ASSESSMENT Carcinogenicity protocol 75

Study Oversight 77

Study Oversight Carcinogenicity study requires greater monitoring than other animal studies Highinvestment investment in study Usually critical timeline related to submission for marketing approval 78

Study Oversight Items for special attention: Survival Important to assure that there are adequate animals available for statistical analysis at end of study Ideally should have 15 to 20 animals in each group at end of 2 years If survival is reduced, early termination should be considered but only with input and concurrence fromfda. 79

Study Oversight Items for special attention: t Survival Timely collection of tissue from early deaths Autolysis of tissue may prevent histopathological diagnosis resulting in: Reduced animals for evaluation thereby impacting statistics Raise questions regarding other aspects of study performance Adequate collection of tissue from all animals Lack of tissue reduces the number of animals examined 80

Study Oversight Dealing with reduced survival takes time eand therefore requires an aggressive approach Communication path and decision making process CRO notification of sponsor Internal discussions of sponsor staff and management Preparation of submission of data and request for early termination to FDA FDA consideration of request and preparation of response Scheduling early sacrifice at CRO 81

Study Oversight Pathology Peer Review Not required but highly recommended Requires an experienced pathologist Process should ldbe df defined din advance but typically includes: Review of all tumors and hyperplastic lesions that might be considered tumors Review of all target organs Review of all tissues from a subset of control and high dose groups 82

Statistics 83

Statistics Statistical evaluation: Should be considered aspartof the study design Focuses on Tumor incidence Time to tumor appearance Considers survival effects 84

Interpretation t ti of Positive Results for Assessing Human Safety 85

Interpretation of Positive Results for Assessing Human Safety First step: Determine the basis of the tumor response in animals. Use all currently available information: Genotoxicity Dose response Toxicokinetics Hormonal imbalance Enzyme induction Altered physiological state Cell death/proliferation 86

Interpretation of Positive Results for Assessing Human Safety Second step: Seek a mechanistic understanding of tumor response. Literature review Special studies Timing of special studies Selection of special studies How much information is enough 87

Mechanistic Understanding of Tumor Response Severalrodent rodent tumorsconsidered not relevant for humans IF adequate data is available Male rat kidney tumors associated with alpha 2 u globulin Mammary tumors associated with prolactin production in rats Thyroid tumors in rats associated with several perturbations of thyroid hormone metabolism e.g. increased glucuronidation 88

Mechanistic Understanding of Tumor Response Cellular changes as related to dose response Foci of cellular alteration in liver Cell proliferation Apoptosis Biochemical measurements that are frequently contemplated depending on tumor type Plasmahormonelevels levels e.g. TSH, prolactin Growth factors Alpha 2u globulin in kidney tubules Tissues enzyme activities Growth factor mediated carcinogenesis is becoming more common (Examples from ICH S1B) 89

Interpretation of Positive Results for Assessing Human Safety Third step: Perform a formal human risk assessment Is mechanism of tumor response in animals likely to occur in humans? 90

Regulatory Implications of a Positive i Study 91

Regulatory Implications of a Positive Study Implication can be very different depending on whether the molecule is a pharmaceutical or chemical/pesticide. Pharmaceutical considers a risk benefit comparison Chemicals /pesticides consider only risk One third of drugs in PDR that have carcinogenicity i i data are either ih positive ii or equivocal (Mutat Res 488:151 169, 2001) 92
