Disclosures We have nothing to disclose.

Objectives Review the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) responsibilities and approval process Recognize common components of generic drug names Review disease processes and new agents approved to treat hematologic malignancies

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

FDA Mission Responsible for ensuring the safety, efficacy and security of Drugs and biological products Medical devices Food supply, cosmetics, radiation products Responsible for regulating tobacco products Help the public get accurate, science-based information FDA does not take into account cost or payment FDA does not regulate the practice of medicine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) About FDA, 2017

FDA Accounts for 20 cents of every dollar spent by Americans Over 17,000 prescription drug products Approximately 320 FDA-licensed biologics products FDA at a Glance, 2017

Oncology Therapeutics Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Office of Hematology and Oncology Products (OHOP) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Cellular and gene therapies, vaccines Oncology Center of Excellence Severe and lifethreatening diseases Oncology therapeutics are unique! Large public interest, active advocacy groups 40% of drugs being developed, 50% of breakthrough therapies Different risk tolerance for side effects

FDA Drug Review Process Traditional approval (goal of 10 months) Requires substantial evidence of safety and efficacy Well-controlled clinical trials Based on prolongation of life or a better life, or surrogate As safe and effective as existing therapies (allows noninferiority design) FDA s Drug Review Process, 2017

FDA Expedited Programs Fast Track Breakthrough Therapy Accelerated Approval Priority Review Quicker access to lifesaving therapies Early evidence suggests substantial improvement over current therapies Strong early surrogate or intermediate endpoints Late evidence suggests substantial improvement over current therapies Actions to expedite development and review Intensive guidance on drug development, involving senior FDA officials *Fast Track features Approval based on surrogate endpoint that is likely to predict meaningful benefit over existing therapies Action and review time shortened to 6 months For serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. Must show potential advantage over available therapy For serious conditions and preliminary evidence indicates substantial improvement over available therapies ~ 50% requests have been in oncology ~1/3 have been granted For serious conditions and demonstrates an effect on surrogate endpoint that is likely to predict benefit or clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier For serious conditions and demonstrates significant improvements (clinical endpoint or surrogate) compared to standard

Orphan Drug Designation Special status granted to a drug or biological product that treats a rare disease or condition Both the drug and disease must meet certain criteria Provides development incentives Over 3,500 orphan drug designations issued since 1983 Over 600+ orphan drug indications approved 60% of Breakthrough Therapies approved are indicated for rare diseases FDA Designating an Orphan Product, 2017

Common Components of Generic Drug Names

Monoclonal Antibodies = mab Origin of monoclonal antibodies: Mo = mouse (blinatumomab) Xi = chimeric: cross of mouse and human (rituximab) Zu = humanized (alemtuzumab) U = fully human (daratumumab) Target helps guide knowledge of common side effects: Tu = target is on the tumor cell: blinatumomab Ci = target is circulatory or blood vessels: bevacizumab Li or I = immunomodulator: pomalidomide

Small Molecules - Nibs Many are oral agents Adherence Drug/drug interactions and drug/food interactions Patient education Activity is intracellular Nibs and tinibs Tyrosine kinase inhibitors: block enzymes (i.e. BCR-ABL in CML) found on cancer cells Examples: imatinib, dasatinib, ibrutinib, bosutinib
