CONTEXT (1)
• QT prolongation, a biomarker of Torsade de
Pointes.
• QT measured on ECG, then corrected.
• Circadian rythm in QT/QTc data
• Usually mandatory QT/QTC study performed
in healthy volunteers at supratherapeutic
dose
• Guidelines: mean QTc effect > 5ms
Clinical PK
2
CONTEXT (2)
• New anti-cancer drug in clinical development
- QTc-prolongation = class effect ?
• Development of anticancer drugs: patients only
• 2 phase I studies:
– PK data available  population PK model
– No QT data available
• 2 ongoing phase I/II studies
- QTc-prolongation assessment: ECG measurement times
already decided without optimization (=empirical design)
• Internal QT database in HV (wo drug)
 population
circadian QTc model available
Clinical PK

CONTEXT (3)
EMPIRICAL DESIGN
• 2 phase I clinical trials: n = 60 + 40 (=100) patients
• Dose regimen : 14 days on / 7 days off, BID administration (4h apart)
• 14 ECG measurements per patient
• Same measurement times for all patients

- Null hypothesis H0 :

 Whatever the  values (i.e. drug effect), there is low impact on the
RSEs of baseline QTc model parameters.
 SE() increases with  ; RSE is below 20 % for
 > 0.05 (QTc-prolongation of 5 ms).

CONCLUSIONS
INTERESTS & LIMITS
 This work reassured us on the
capability of the empirical
design to detect any potential
drug effect.
 The empirical design should
allow an accurate estimation
of the parameters of the QTc
model under treatment.
Clinical PK
 Several
assumptions
have
been made  clinicians not
ready yet to have an adaptive
design within a study.
18
CONCLUSIONS (2)
NEXT STEPS
• Assumptions made will be challenged with first
clinical data coming.
– PK model
– QTc baseline model parameter values
– Linear drug effect
• Optimization of the ECG measurement times with
different clinical constraints (days, times, number
of group, doses, number of measurements) for
further studies.
• Interest in having an integrated tool for
estimation and optimization.
