14nTEGRAs Higher Functions
- Analysis prior to/during protocol design
- Data collection leading to enrollment statistics
- Cost-efficient media buying, planning and
tracking - Speedy/cost-effective enrollment strategies
- nTEGRA is uniquely qualified to help select a
patient population and clinical endpoints that
are relevant to the pharmacologic activity of the
compound and that will provide the best label
positioning. - Label positioning is important because a label is
really a marketing claim. This is
commercialization!
15Speed Tricks
- Spend promotional dollars on fewer sites
- Rather than 40 sites in 40 markets, do 40 in 20
markets or less - Savings result from start-up, monitoring, and
marketing cost reductions - Products get to market sooner and optimize
opportunity costs - nTEGRAs proprietary media system
- Site-centric / patient-focused
- Centrally managed recruitment programs
- Amortizes costs
- Allows good data capture
- Dont pay for competitors recruitment

17- Enrollment Trends/Concepts
18Emphasis on Enrollment
- Patient recruitment accounts for 22.4 of the
clinical development timeline. - Barnett International
19Challenges to Enrollment (1 of 8)
- Recruitment environment has fundamentally
changed, requiring sponsors and CROs to change as
well - 50k60k trials in the US competition for
evaluable patients has exploded! - Rise in RD expenditures
- Number of compounds in pipelines
- More studies testing new compounds in special
populations - More complex and global nature of trials
20Challenges to Enrollment (2 of 8)
- Recruitment environment has fundamentally
changed, requiring sponsors and CROs to change as
well - Number of subjects needed per NDA has grown from
1,321 (1975) to 7,000 (2002) - Six-fold increase in clinical trials from 2001 to
2002 - Longer trials requiring more patients
- Sources DIA, CenterWatch, Applied Clinical
Trials, nTEGRA
21Challenges to Enrollment (3 of 8)
- Recruitment environment has fundamentally
changed sponsors must change, too. - Shortage of experienced investigators
- 8 out of 9 investigators may overestimate their
ability to recruit qualified patients for
clinical trials. - (PAREXEL, Pharmaceutical RD Statistical
Source Book, 1999, p.56) - Site Selection (1/3!)
- Growing of uninsured (44M / 6)
- Lack of emphasis on retention
- Poor consenting process, delivery, performance,
etc.
22Challenges to Enrollment (4 of 8)
- Recruitment environment has fundamentally
changed, requiring sponsors and CROs to change as
well. - Recruiter cant translate protocol into
enrollment timeline or understand sites - Media buys must focus on RF and GI, not number
of ads - DR, ROS, Print, and Interactive advertising are
slow modalities - Excessively strict Inclusion/Exclusion criteria
- Sponsors
- Inadequately funding site advertising
- Giving recruitment responsibilities to CROs/sites
- Mistakenly adding sites in new markets to spur
enrollment
23Challenges to Enrollment (5 of 8)
- Doctors often fail to pass on to patients the
fruits of any discoveries even when researchers
parlay basic science into "best practices." (WSJ,
9/26/03) - Â Examples
- Doctors are failing to give long-acting
medications to asthmatics who use short-acting
ones a lot. - They're not giving anti-platelet therapy to
stroke patients. - They're not urging patients with lower-back pain
out of bed. - 76 of diabetics aren't getting routine
hemoglobin screening (Rand, as reported in New
England Journal of Medicine, Summer 2003) - Only 45 of heart-attack patients are on
beta-blockers (Rand, as reported to New England
Journal of Medicine, Summer 2003)
24Challenges to Enrollment (6 of 8)
- Many physicians do not like being told that
science knows best, and that the way they've
always done things is second-rate. Â - Â Â Sidney Smith, M.D., professor of medicine,
University of North Carolina, Chapel
Hill, former President, American Heart
Association
25Challenges to Enrollment (7 of 8)
- Why the disconnect?
- Doctors don't believe clinical trials apply to
their patients. - Ex mid-1990s spinal fusion study reported by
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality - Others take a "show-me" attitude.
- Treatment effects are often small, such
as reducing future risk of heart attack by 25. - Individual physicians typically have too few
patients with any one illness, or don't
follow patients long enough to detect such
benefits.
26Challenges to Enrollment (8 of 8)
- Why the disconnect?
- Treating patients according to guidelines takes
time that doctors often don't have. - Treating to guidelines requires a team approach
that some group practices, let alone solo
practitioners, can manage. - Lack of information technology prevents doctors
form electronically recording patient information
and matching it to best-practices guidelines. - "A lot of bad medicine is being paid for."
- Helen Darling, Washington Business
Group on Health
27Who Participates in Clinical Trials?
- 60 million Americans have severe, chronic
illnesses, yet less than 3.6m (10) have
participated in a clinical trial. - The typical study participant is somewhat older
and has a somewhat lower household income and
education level than the general population. 50
men, 50 women. - With the exception of those with the most
life-threatening or severe illnesses, patients do
not consider clinical research a treatment
option. - In 1995, 1/3 of surveyed patients said they
self-referred into a clinical trial. Today that
number is 75. - Non-whites may still be statistically under
represented . - 1993 NIH Revitalization Act (to encourage women
and minority participation) and FDA Gender
Guidelines.
28Why Dropouts Occur
- Placebo
- Lack of Study Drug Efficacy
- Length of Study (short studies fewer drop outs)
- Study Logistics (transportation, limited clinic
hours, etc.) - Protocol Design (must factor patient
considerations when created) - Non-Communicative Coordinators (leads to weak
relationship w/ patients) - New Paradigm Participation is a patient choice,
not an obligation.
29Dropouts
- Dropout rates are variable due to many factors,
but rates of 15 to 40 are common. - When significant attrition occurs, the remaining
data may no longer be representative of the
original population, and significant biases may
be introduced that affect study findings. - Dropout rates correspond to specific therapeutic
areas. - The more severe, rare or life threatening the
indication, the higher the retention rate.

55Protocol Obligation
- Factors Influencing Enrollment/Retention
- Demographics
- A narrow patient population reduces variability
increases statistical power. - Narrow studies can use fewer patients since
they have less variability than the general
population. Stand. Dev. are smaller and the n is
reduced. - Narrow studies make enrollment difficult if I/E
criteria are restrictive. - A broad population helps prevent restrictive
labeling
56Length of Study
- The more chronic the disease, the longer duration
patients will tolerate
57Choice of Control Groups
- A placebo group makes recruitment more difficult.
- Patients like knowing they can take a rescue med
if they dont get relief if the rescue med is
more potent than that being tested. - Positive controls that are well known and trusted
encourage participation.
58I/E Criteria
- Use as broad an age range as possible (unless
condition being studied is restricted to a
certain age group).
59Degree of Disease
- Patients with mild diseases are more willing to
participate in a clinical trial than those with
severe or life threatening diseases. - Patients are very willing to enroll if no
treatment currently exists.
60Concomitant IllnessesAnd Medical Exclusions
- Many trials omit severe concomitant illnesses so
as to avoid biasing the apparent side effect
profile of the study drug. However, taken to
extremes, these exclusion criteria deter
enrollment. - Helps enrollment IF the protocol broadly allows
exposure to previous meds, but with an
appropriate washout period - It is reasonable to exclude concomitant meds
which influence the efficacy endpoints of the
trial since these may lead to ambiguous results.
- However, it is good for enrollment if the
protocol allows concomitant meds which have
little or no impact on the efficacy measures. - Recruitment of patients with chronic disease that
is sub-optimally managed can be very challenging
61Procedures Performed
- Procedures do not inhibit enrollment if they are
part of current standard of care - Blood Draws and Invasive Diagnostic Procedures
curb enrollment

- Preparing for Market Leadership
- Designing studies around how the final labeling

The nTEGRA Way
83Industry Trends The Case for Commercialization
- 65 billion spent on RD in 2000
- 12 compounded annual growth rate
- Development cycles have lengthened from 8 years
in 1960s to about 9 years today - 34 billion a year spent on trials in 2000
- 10 to 15 annual growth rate
84The Case for Commercialization
- Each year sponsors initiate 100 new drug trials
- Worldwide there are more than 15,000 trials
underway today - Number of trials will grow dramatically due to
new technologies - High throughput screening
- Genomics
- Molecular modeling
85The Case for Commercialization
- About 400 drugs will advance to Phase 3 trials by
2005 - At the same time, the number of potential
Investigators and Patients is flat/shrinking - The increase in trials without corresponding
increase in Investigators and Patients has made
recruitment problematic
86The Case for Commercialization
- Increased complexity of trials
- Average number of studies per NDA has grown from
30 to 75 in the past 25 years - Number of pages per NDA has grown from 38,000 to
over 100,000 in this same period - Number of subjects needed for each NDA has grown
from 1,321 to 4,237 (mid-1990s) - Fewer potential patients for each NDA due to more
targeted RD - Sponsors increasingly recruit internationally
works both ways!
87The Case for Commercialization
- Strengthening relationships with Investigators
and Patients expedites trials by - Improving the quality of data
- Reducing the chance for errors
- Improving data turnaround
- Speeding payments to Investigators and Patients
88The Case for Commercialization
- Helps solve Investigator recruitment
- Identifying and signing experienced Investigators
is competitive - Investigator retention is also difficult
- 1/3 of Investigators never do a second trial
this represents a huge loss of investment time
and money
89The Case for Commercialization
- Builds stronger more personal relationships with
Investigators - Provides Investigators with convenient and
immediate access to the information they need - Provides Investigators with access to data when
and where they want (protocol help/InForm,
stocking supplies, payment process, etc.) - Loyalty can give sponsors a huge competitive edge
- Site PotentialTM
90The Case for Commercialization
- Establishes strong relationships with Patients
- Helps ensure the trial experiences is a
satisfying one (Site PotentialTM and other means) - Improves adherence and retention (Site
PotentialTM and other means) - Enables patient questions to be answered
competently, consistently, and quickly (InForm,
other means)
