Pharmaceutical product development and its associated quality system 01Abdirizak Mohammed
Drug development is a long, expensive, and risky process taking 10-15 years. It involves extensive testing of drug candidates in vitro and in animal models to establish safety and efficacy before clinical trials in humans. Clinical trials have three phases - phase I tests safety in healthy volunteers, phase II assesses efficacy and dosing in patients, and phase III confirms safety and efficacy in large patient populations. Only about 1 in 10 drugs that enter clinical trials will be approved due to the high failure rate of drug candidates. Getting a new drug approved is a significant challenge that involves demonstrating safety and efficacy to global regulatory standards.
The document provides an overview of the New Drug Application (NDA) process. It discusses that an NDA is required for approval to market a new drug in the US. The goals of an NDA are to demonstrate a drug's safety, efficacy, appropriate labeling, and quality manufacturing. An NDA contains extensive data from non-clinical and clinical trials. It follows a common technical document format and is reviewed by the FDA to determine if the drug's benefits outweigh the risks for approval.
Clinical research is a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of medications, devices, diagnostic products and treatment regimens intended for human use. These may be used for prevention, treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease. Clinical research is different from clinical practice. In clinical practice established treatments are used, while in clinical research evidence is collected to establish a treatment. The term "clinical research" refers to the entire bibliography of a drug/device/biologic, in fact any test article from its inception in the lab to its introduction to the consumer market and beyond. Once the promising candidate or the molecule is identified in the lab, it is subjected to pre-clinical studies or animal studies where different aspects of the test article (including its safety toxicity if applicable and efficacy, if possible at this early stage) are studied.
This document provides definitions for clinical trial terminology. Some key terms defined include:
- Clinical trial: A systematic study of a test article in human subjects to discover clinical effects and identify adverse reactions.
- Adverse event: Any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a product and not necessarily caused by the product.
- Investigator's brochure: A document containing relevant research data about an investigational product.
- Good clinical practice: An international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, and reporting trials.
Addressing gaps in clinically useful evidence on potential drug-drug interact...Richard Boyce, PhD
Potential drug-drug interactions (PDDIs) are a significant public health concern. Unfortunately, the fragmented, incomplete, and dynamic nature of evidence on PDDIs makes designing effect clinical decisions support tools very challenging. In this talk, I present a conceptual model of how evidence issues affect patient safety with respect to PDDIs. I then propose a new paradigm for representing PDDI knowledge that I hypothesize will result in more clinically useful evidence than is currently possible. Finally, I place several of my recent research projects in the context of the new paradigm and make some final suggestions for future work. Throughout the talk I try to highlight the various roles that natural language processing, Semantic Web technologies, and pharmacoepidemiology have to play in improving medication safety for patients exposed to PDDIs.

Commercial considerations in early drug developmentSunil Ramkali
It is important in the drug development process that marketers and researchers collaborate early to ensure that products being developed are truly innovative and deliver brand value to the different end users in a way that the product and the subsequent brand messaging is relevant, compelling and differentiating compared to the competition. T
In the market place that is heavily cost constraint, innovation is no longer about a unique mode of action or a new formulation, but more about the incremental brand value offered by new pharmaceutical products over existing treatments (standard of care) and how much healthcare systems are prepared to pay for these incremental benefits. My lecture at the Department of Innovation, Lund University, Sweden explored the importance of R&D functions getter closer to external stakeholders to really understand their needs, how they define brand value and the importance of considering this early in the drug development process.

It notes that the global IVD market was estimated at $54.2 billion in 2013 and is expected to grow 4% annually to $64.3 billion by 2018. Technological advances in areas like genomics, bioinformatics, and miniaturization have transformed diagnostic laboratory technology in recent years. Personalized medicine, infectious disease testing, and other applications are driving growth in the IVD market. However, economic instability, rising healthcare costs, and reimbursement changes pose challenges for the industry.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

By Roy Barnewall - Inhalation Technology at Life Sciences Research and Battelle
Many poorly treated orphan, rare, or neglected respiratory diseases are benefiting from such repositioned
developments providing efficacious licensed products to patients where previously few existed or where
off-label drug use is common. Repositioned product developments include anti-infectives for a variety of
conditions; CF, NCFB, MAC and tuberculosis, as well as, products to treat niche indications; in lung cancer,
severe uncontrolled asthma/COPD, chronic cough, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH) etc
Products delivered via smart nebulisation, e.g., via AKITA® JET or FOX® nebulisers, can provide the value
propositions that merit their development as repositioned drugs. These nebulisers guide patients achieve the
correct inhalation technique and deliver a greater proportion of drug to the lungs with reduced variability, as
well as monitor treatment compliance through their connectivity. These attributes may improve patient
outcomes and lead to better patient satisfaction and adherence. In both products, a Bluetooth-enabled app
records inhalation and adherence data for sharing with the caregiver or physician
16:20 Smart Nebulisers - Opportunities for Development of Drug Products
By Nicolas Buchmann - Programme Manager at Vectura Group plc
A number of companies (ranging from large to speciality pharma) have strategic initiatives to reposition or
repurpose known chemical entities “old drugs” for or within inhalation therapy. Many of these programmes are
focussed on developing value-added or differentiated products for “on target” respiratory or “off-target” systemic
indications to meet a particular unmet therapeutic need. With lower risk profile compared to New Chemical
Entity (NCE) product developments using known drugs offer new opportunities by using new technologies

Inhaled prostacyclins may prove beneficial in treatment of refractory hypoxemia and pulmonary
hypertension. Traditional pneumatic jet nebulizers introduce additional flow that can interfere with
microprocessor controlled mechanical ventilators. Vibrating mesh technology provides unreliable
nebulization and with no audible alarm systems
Pneumatic jet nebulizers powered by built-in ventilator port results in breath-actuated delivery and
consistent alarm features without negatively impacting advanced features provided by microprocessor
driven life support systems
Wasted medication results from both vibrating mesh and pneumatic jet nebulizers running continuously

13:00 Business Lunch
Approval of generic inhalation drugs remains a challenge. At this time, the FDA is suggesting a weight of evidence
approach that compares in vitro characteristics of the generic and innovator formulation, pharmacokinetics to
primarily assess systemic safety, as well as biomarker/clinical studies to ensure equivalence of efficacy
This talk will review and discuss potential alternative approaches for the development of generic inhalation drugs
Biomarker/clinical studies are challenging and represent a large financial risk due to the generally observed
flat dose-response relationship, distinct variability, and the large number of patients required for such clinical
trials without providing sufficient high resolution in detecting differences in the pulmonary equivalence. A
method to assess local equivalence with high resolution and lower costs is therefore urgently needed
09:50 Challenges and potential solution for a streamlined development of generic inhalation drugs
By Günther Hochhaus - Professor at University of Florida
Emphysema is a major clinical manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); however, its
alveolar structural destruction remains irreversible and incurable, leaving only palliative treatment options to date
Our novel caffeic acid-based oligomer molecules, CDSO3 and SMND309-2ME, were capable of reversing
established emphysema in animal models following pulmonary delivery through local VEGF stimulation
upon activation of upstream VEGF regulators, HIF1alpa and STAT3
Impaired vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling becomes a potential underlying pathobiologic
mechanism, so that activation of upstream VEGF regulators was hypothesized to enable alveolar structural
recovery in emphysematous lungs
