•drug action– the interaction of the drug molecule at the binding site
e.g. receptor, carrier, channel
•drug effect– a measurable consequence of drug binding or drug action
e.g. EEC change, QT prolongation
•drug response– a desirable or undesirable clinical outcome
e.g. reduced frequency of seizures, reduction in blood pressure

to learn from experience
to develop models based on data………what data do we need?
Preclinical:
◦ affinities of active drug molecules for the binding site (in vitro, in situ, in vivo)
◦ mechanism between binding and measurable effect including auto-regulation (feedback, synthesis)
◦ in vivo: dose(time) – concentration(time) – measurable effect(time)

to learn from experience
to develop models based on data………what data do we need?
Clinical:
◦ ideally everything measured in the preclinical program (in vivo affinities will be difficult to obtain), but at least the
following:
dose(time)
concentration(time)
effect(time)
◦ in addition, drug response data as a function of time
7
PKPD workshop at AGAH/Club Phase IPKPD workshop at AGAH/Club Phase I
How can this strategy be incorporated into R&D planning?
◦ Every preclinical experiment and every clinical study is designed to add data to the PKPD knowledge base.
◦ The modeling and simulation (M&S) scientist participates in the project teams.
◦ For the M&S scientist there exists no boundary between preclinical and clinical development.
The design route will prove to be faster than the “shortcut”.

○ Rufinamide modulates the activity of sodium channels thus suppressing seizures induced by electroshock (maximal electroshock, MES) or by injection of pentylenetrazole (PTZ) in mice (PD). In clinical studies, rufinamide significantly reduced seizure frequency (PD).
○ Drug X is a new chemical entity with a novel mechanism of action. It shows anticonvulsant effects in rodents. The dose(time)-concentration(time) relationship (PK) was studied in epileptic patients.

○ PKPD modeling in mice:
− Population PKPD modeling used NONMEM. − A one-compartment model with first order
elimination was chosen for both rufinamide and Drug X.
− For PKPD modelling, drug concentrations were predicted in male mice according to weight, the administered dose in mg/kg, population PK parameters (previously estimated), and time of test.
10
PKPD workshop: Example 1PKPD workshop: Example 1
PKPD modeling in mice – where are the problems?+ mice are cheap+ mice are genetically well defined+ small interindividual variability
− mice are small− difficult to dose accurately− difficult to obtain more than one blood sample
11

Population PK model based on toxicokinetic data
-free choice oral dosing (continuous input during dark hours)
-blood sampling at steady state
-destructive, only one sample per mouse

-oral dosing by gavage (controlled time of drug input)

PKPD modeling in mice – Population approach:
Population PD model using predicted individual concentrations at the time of the effect measurement
Individual concentrations are predicted based on:
-the dose given at the PD experiment
-the gender and weight of the mouse
-the time of the effect measurement after the dose
-the population PK model

Link from mice to humans:assumes that the effective concentrations in mice are also effective in humans
A generic mathematical link function (Weibull) was used to relate rufinamide preclinical effects to its clinical response (Loge of total seizure frequency over a period of 28 days).

PKPD workshop: Example 1PKPD workshop: Example 1Rufinamide preclinical effect (MES test): the link function shows that effective concentrations in the preclinical MES test are not effective clinically.Is the approach wrong? Not necessarily, but MES is definitely not a suitable preclinical test.

○ Extrapolation from known to unknown:
− assuming that the link between the preclinical and the clinical test is generally valid and independent of the pharmacologic agent used to cause the response,
− the PTZ preclinical effect measurements of Drug X are used to predict total seizure frequency per 28 days (clinical response).
22
PKPD workshop: Example 1PKPD workshop: Example 1
The link function is now applied to drug X: whatever drug X concentration is related to 70% of mice protected from seizures (PTZ test) is expected to be related to a clinical response of 28·e-1.3 =7.6 seizures in 28 days, a minimal response.

○ Extrapolation from response to concentration:
− the preclinical PD model for PTZ test of Drug X is used to predict the concentration in humans necessary to achieve a certain clinical response.
− knowing… that for rufinamide the link function relates effective concentrations in mice to effective concentrations in humans.
− assuming… that the link function has general applicability and is thus also valid for drug X.

○ Extrapolation from concentration to dose:
− a PK model for Drug X established in epileptic patients in a phase IIa pilot study is used to predict the dosing regimen to produce the necessary concentrations.
− this PK model takes the drug interaction with CYP3A4 inducers into account. The recommended dosage is stratified accordingly:
26
PKPD workshop: Example 1PKPD workshop: Example 1
In order to achieve similar decrease (2.8 per 28 days) of total seizure frequency as with a typical Cavss (15 μg/ml) of rufinamide, the following daily doses for Drug X are likely to produce a Cavss of 215 ng/mL:
○ Sub-population 1, without co-administration of CYP3A4 inducers: 1.8 units ○ Sub-population 1, with co-administration of CYP3A4 inducers: 7.7 units○ Sub-population 2, without co-administration of CYP3A4
inducers: 4 units○ Sub-population 2, with co-administration of CYP3A4 inducers: 15 units
Note: a Cavss of 215 ng/mL was observed in healthy subjects following repeated daily doses of 4 units which were well tolerated.

Selection of an optimal biomarker for neutral endopeptidase (NEP) inhibitors in humans.
A.C. Heatherington, S. Sultana, R. Hidi, M. Boucher, E. Fuseau, M. Marchand, P. Ellis, S.W. Martin Pfizer Ltd, Sandwich, UK; EMF Consulting, Aix-en-Provence, France
Objectives:○ to select a reliable soluble biomarker for NEP inhibitors○ to compare clinical PD models to in vitro PD models○ to build a suitable PKPD model to optimally design future
clinical studies
29
PKPD workshop: Example 2PKPD workshop: Example 2
Background:Neutral endopeptidase (NEP) is a metallopeptidase enzyme involved in the degradation of a number of endogenous peptides, including
○ vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)○ substance P○ endothelins (hydrolysis of big endothelin, Big ET-1, to endothelin)○ atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP).
It is hypothesized that NEP inhibitors would increase VIP leading to enhanced vasodilatation in genital tissues. Two molecules, UK-447,841 (in vitro IC50 10 nM) and UK-505,749 (in vitro IC50 1.1nM), have undergone pharmacological evaluation to assess their effect on plasma Big ET-1 and ANP levels.

•ANP stimulates production rate (kin1) of Big ET-1
•age enhances production rate (kin2) of ANP •Emax , the maximum decrease in kout , is the same for both drugs but different

Conclusion
○ Big ET-1 plasma concentration and, to a lesser extent, ANP plasma concentration can be used as a pharmacological biomarker for the inhibitory drug effect on enzyme (NEP) activity in healthy volunteers.
○ Big ET-1 has ideal characteristics of a soluble biomarker: it demonstrates dose-concentration-effect, time-linearity, reproducibility of effect with similar Emax for two NEP inhibitors.
○ The ratio of the in vivo IC50 of the 2 compounds is similar to the in vitro ratio. This allows extrapolation between species and between different drugs.
