14
nTEGRAs 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!

15
Speed 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

18
Emphasis on Enrollment
  • Patient recruitment accounts for 22.4 of the
    clinical development timeline.
  • Barnett International

19
Challenges 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

20
Challenges 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

21
Challenges 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.

22
Challenges 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

23
Challenges 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)
  •  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)

24
Challenges 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.  
  •    Sidney Smith, M.D., professor of medicine,
    University of North Carolina, Chapel
    Hill, former President, American Heart
    Association

25
Challenges 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.

26
Challenges 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

27
Who 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.

28
Why 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.

29
Dropouts
  • 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.

    age/sex categories.

55
Protocol 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

56
Length of Study
  • The more chronic the disease, the longer duration
    patients will tolerate

57
Choice 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.

58
I/E Criteria
  • Use as broad an age range as possible (unless
    condition being studied is restricted to a
    certain age group).

59
Degree 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.

60
Concomitant 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

61
Procedures Performed
  • Procedures do not inhibit enrollment if they are
    part of current standard of care
  • Blood Draws and Invasive Diagnostic Procedures
    curb enrollment

62
How Does nTEGRAAchieve Faster Enrollment?
  • nTEGRAs
  • Patentable feasibility process

  • Commercialization
  • Preparing for Market Leadership
  • Designing studies around how the final labeling
    should appear

The nTEGRA Way
83
Industry 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

84
The 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

85
The 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

86
The 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!

87
The 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

88
The 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

89
The 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

90
The 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)
