Molecular Targets

Target to clinic:

Poor alignment of molecularunderstanding to clinical need

Clinical Outcome

Clinic to target:

Defined unmet clinical need

Translation from human geneticvariation, to optimized therapybased on an understanding of

biology

VS.

Human genetics links clinical outcomes of interest to the relevant biology

Patient Stratification

Genetic knowledge will reclassify disease based on

biological causality

Individuals will receive “group” assignments

based on this information

Selection of clinical trial participants based on

biological knowledge prior to therapeutic intervention

Shaw AT, et al. Phase 3 randomized study of crizotinib versus pemetrexed or docetaxel chemotherapy in advanced, ALK-positive

NSCLC (PROFILE 1007). Vienna, Austria: European Society for Medical Oncology; September 30, 2012. Abstract LBA1.

The study met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival(PFS): median PFS was 7.7 months with crizotinib versus 3.0months with chemotherapy, representing a 51% reduction in risk ofprogression for the ALK inhibitor (P < .0001)

Phase III PROFILE 1007 Trial- a global study conducted at more than 100sites in 20 countries. The study randomized 347 patients with ALK+, stageIIIb or IV NSCLC to crizotinib 250 mg/bid; pemetrexed 500 mg/m2; ordocetaxel 75 mg/m2 on a 21-day cycle. Median number of cycles oftreatment was 11 for crizotinib and 4 for chemotherapy.

Crizotinib superior to single agent chemotherapy in advanced, previously

treated ALK-postive, non- small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)

According to independent radiologic review, crizotinib tripled theoverall response rate compared with chemotherapy: 65.3%versus 19.3%, respectively (P < .0001).

Quality of life was superior for crizotinib-treated patients, basedon patient reported outcomes regarding time to deterioration inlung cancer symptoms: median of 5.6 months with crizotinibversus 1.4 months with chemotherapy (P < .0001).

Toxicities of crizotinib were mild and manageable,

The Bad News

With a median progression free survival of 7 months,patients will develop resistance to this targeted therapy.

Two next-generation ALK inhibitors are in phase II studies—LBK 178 and AB6 273

Recent Good News

Among 991 randomly assigned patients, median progression-freesurvival as assessed by independent review was 9.6 months with T-DM1 versus 6.4 months with lapatinib plus capecitabine (hazard ratiofor progression or death from any cause, 0.65; 95% confidence interval[CI], 0.55 to 0.77; P<0.001Rates of grade 3 or 4 adverse events were higher with lapatinibplus capecitabine than with T-DM1 (57% vs. 41%).

Randomly assigned patients with HER2-positive advanced breastcancer, who had previously been treated with trastuzumab and a taxane,to T-DM1 or lapatinib plus capecitabine. The primary end points wereprogression-free survival (as assessed by independent review), overallsurvival, and safety.

ADC Development Focus Areas

1. Design new inkers and payloads with tumor selectivity

2. Cancer target expression levels not predictive for pharmacology

3. Imporve understanding of factors affecting pharmacodynamics

and toxicity

4. Improve biodistribution- less than 0.01% of ADC injected reaches

the tumor

Conclusions

Anti–PD-1 antibody produced objective responses in approximately one in four toone in five patients with non–small-cell lung cancer, melanoma, or renal-cell cancer;the adverse-event profile does not appear to preclude its use.

Preliminary data suggest a relationship between PD-L1 expression on tumor cells

and objective response.

The pharmaceutical industry needs to engage internationalscientific and healthcare communities in a more collaborative

fashion in order to achieve the goal of improving health outcomes

A critical unmet need is access to cohorts of individuals with wellcharacterized differences in disease progression and treatment

outcomes

Money alone does not provide access to the critical scientificcollaborative relationships

•Linking biospecimens to multiple sources ofhealthcare information, while protecting all

stakeholders

•Reconciling altruism and open collaborationwith intellectual property and profit

Major Challenges

Page 27: Precision Medicine and Cancer Genomics: An Industry Perspective · 0 Precision Medicine and Cancer Genomics: An Industry Perspective David R. Cox M.D., Ph.D. Senior Vice President

26

•Keep the detailed clinical data and related biospecimens withthe clinicians and scientists who generated them and who

have established relationships with the study subjects and thelocal culture.

•Use public-private scientific collaborative expertise andresources to obtain the key biologic knowledge required to

address specific health outcomes.

•This key biologic knowledge can then be used by all toimprove health outcomes
