Translational Medicine Case Study: Assessment of a lead compound for clinical development

Background • Preclinical animal data suggests competitive improvement in primary clinical endpoint

• First in class compound positioned for entry into clinical development

Issues • No human precedent, including genetic mutations, to confirm potential efficacy

• Optimal timing and frequency of dosing unknown

Questions • Is the target and compound efficacious in human patients?

• What results in healthy subjects suggest efficacy in patients?

• What is the optimal trial design to demonstrate efficacy?

Translational Medicine: Identification of Mechanisms that Determine Efficacy and Explain Species Differences

Virtual patients constrained to observed phenotypes

• No virtual patients, showed an efficacious response to simulated therapy

System pushed to limits of observed human behavior

• Constrained to the edges of normal clinical response

• Numerous validation protocols no longer reproducible

• Unlikely, but testable

Implement Rodent Behavior• Pathway flux and regulation altered

– Inconsistent with human data

• Lifestyle/environmental factors– Not representative of humans

Rodent Response to Therapy• Results suggest novel therapy would be

an effective treatment
