Accelerating Drug Development in Pediatric Oncology With the Clinical Pharmacology Storehouse.
Journal of Clinical Pharmacology 2018 December 19
Pediatric drug development is a challenging process due to the rarity of the population, the need to meet regulatory requirements across the globe, the associated uncertainty in extrapolating data from adults, the paucity of validated biomarkers, and the lack of systematic testing of drugs in pediatric patients. In oncology, pediatric drug development has additional challenges that have historically delayed availability of safe and effective medicines for children. In particular, the traditional approach to pediatric oncology drug development involves conducting phase 1 studies in children once the drug has been characterized and in some cases approved for use in adults. The objective of this article is to describe clinical pharmacology factors that influence pediatric oncology trial design and execution and to highlight efficient approaches for designing and expediting oncology drug development in children. The topics highlighted in this article include (1) study design considerations, (2) updated dosing approaches, (3) ways to overcome the significant biopharmaceutical challenges unique to the oncology pediatric population, and (4) use of data analysis strategies for extrapolating data from adults, with case studies. Finally, suggestions for ways to use clinical pharmacology approaches to accelerate pediatric oncology drug development are provided.
