RESUMO
Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) modeling is crucial in the development of new drugs. However, traditional population-based PK/PD models encounter challenges when modeling for individual patients. We aim to explore the potential of constructing a pharmacodynamic model for individual breast cancer pharmacodynamics leveraging only limited data from early clinical trial phases. While previous studies on Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) suggest promising results in clinical trial practices, they primarily focused on theoretical applications or independent PK/PD modeling. PD modeling from complex and irregular clinical trial data, especially when interacting with PK parameters, is still unclear. To achieve that, we introduce a Data-driven Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (DN-ODE) modeling for breast cancer tumor dynamics and progression-free survival data. To validate this approach, experiments are conducted with early-phase clinical trial data from the Amcenestrant (an oral treatment for breast cancer) dataset (AMEERA 1-2), aiming to predict pharmacodynamics in the later phase (AMEERA 3). DN-ODE model achieves RMSE scores of 8.78 and 0.21 in tumor size and progression-free survival, respectively, with R2 scores over 0.9 for each task. Compared to PK/PD methodologies, DN-ODE is able to predict robust individual tumor dynamics with only limited cycle data. We also introduce Principal Component Analysis visualizations for encoder results, demonstrating the DN-ODE's capability to discern individual distributions and diverse tumor growth patterns. Therefore, DN-ODE facilitates comprehensive drug efficacy assessments, pinpoints potential responders, and aids in trial design.

A joint modeling framework was developed using data from 75 patients of early amcenestrant phase I-II AMEERA-1-2 dose escalation and expansion cohorts. A semi-mechanistic tumor growth inhibition (TGI) model was developed. It accounts for the dynamics of sensitive and resistant tumor cells, an exposure-driven effect on tumor proliferation of sensitive cells, and a delay in the initiation of treatment effect to describe the time course of target lesion tumor size (TS) data. Individual treatment exposure overtime was introduced in the model using concentrations predicted by a population pharmacokinetic model of amcenestrant. This joint modeling framework integrated complex RECISTv1.1 criteria information, linked TS metrics to progression-free survival (PFS), and was externally evaluated using the randomized phase II trial AMEERA-3. We demonstrated that the instantaneous rate of change in TS (TS slope) was an important predictor of PFS and the developed joint model was able to predict well the PFS of amcenestrant phase II monotherapy trial using only early phase I-II data. This provides a good modeling and simulation tool to inform early development decisions.

AIMS: Addition of isatuximab (Isa) to pomalidomide/dexamethasone (Pd) significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). We aimed to characterize the relationship between serum M-protein kinetics and PFS in the phase 3 ICARIA-MM trial (NCT02990338), and to evaluate an alternative dosing regimen of Isa by simulation. METHODS: Data from the ICARIA-MM trial comparing Isa 10 mg/kg weekly for 4 weeks then every 2 weeks (QW-Q2W) in combination with Pd versus Pd in 256 evaluable RRMM patients were used. A joint model of serum M-protein dynamics and PFS was developed. Trial simulations were then performed to evaluate whether efficacy is maintained after switching to a monthly dosing regimen. RESULTS: The model identified instantaneous changes (slope) in serum M-protein as the best on-treatment predictor for PFS and baseline patient characteristics impacting serum M-protein kinetics (albumin and ß2-microglobulin on baseline levels, non-IgG type on growth rate) and PFS (presence of plasmacytomas). Trial simulations demonstrated that switching to a monthly Isa regimen at 6 months would shorten median PFS by 2.3 weeks and induce 42.3% patients to progress earlier. CONCLUSIONS: Trial simulations supported selection of the approved Isa 10 mg/kg QW-Q2W regimen and showed that switching to a monthly regimen after 6 months may reduce clinical benefit in the overall population. However, patients with good prognostic characteristics and with a stable, very good partial response may switch to a monthly regimen after 6 months without compromising the risk of disease progression. This hypothesis will be tested in a prospective clinical trial.

INTRODUCTION: In this paper, we studied the effect over time of agomelatine, an antidepressant drug administered in patient with major depressive disorder, through item response theory (IRT), taking into account a strong placebo effect and missing not at random. We also assessed the informativeness of the HAMD-17 scale's item. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data includes five phase III clinical trials sponsored by Servier Institute, totalling 1549 patients followed during a maximum of 1 year. At each observation, individual scores for the 17 items of the HAMD scale were recorded. The probability for each score was modelled with IRT. A non-linear mixed effects model was used to describe the evolution of the disease and was coupled with a time to event model to predict dropout. Clinical trial simulations were then used to compare placebo and active treatment. Informativeness of each item was evaluated using the Fisher information theory. RESULTS: The best model combined an IRT model, a longitudinal model for underlying depression which describes the remission and then a possible relapse, and a hazard model for dropout depending on the evolution from baseline. The drug effect was best modelled as an effect on the remission and the relapse phases. The median predicted drop in HAMD between baseline and 6 weeks was 8.8 (90% PI, 8.3-9.2) when on placebo and 13.1 (90% PI, 12.8-13.4) when treated. Nine items were found to be the most informative. CONCLUSION: The IRT framework allowed to characterise the evolution of depression with time and estimate the effect of agomelatine, as well as the link between symptoms and disease.

A time-to-event (TTE) model has been developed to characterize a histopathology toxicity that can only be detected at the time of animal sacrifice. The model of choice was a hazard model with a Weibull distribution and dose was a significant covariate. The diagnostic plots showed a satisfactory fit of the data, despite the high degree of left and right censoring. Comparison to a probabilistic logit model shows similar performance in describing the data with a slight underestimation of survival by the Logit model. However, the TTE model was found to be more predictive in extrapolating toxicity risk beyond the observation range of a truncated dataset. The diagnostic and comparison outcomes would suggest using the TTE approach as a first choice for characterizing short and long-term risk from nonclinical toxicity studies. However, further investigations are needed to explore the domain of application of this kind of approach in drug safety assessment.

OBJECTIVE: To construct a sudden death risk score specifically for hypertension (HYSUD) patients with or without cardiovascular history. METHODS: Data were collected from six randomized controlled trials of antihypertensive treatments with 8044 women and 17â604 men differing in age ranges and blood pressure eligibility criteria. In total, 345 sudden deaths (1.35%) occurred during a mean follow-up of 5.16 years. Risk factors of sudden death were examined using a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model adjusted on trials. The model was transformed to an integer system, with points added for each factor according to its association with sudden death risk. RESULTS: Antihypertensive treatment was not associated with a reduction of the sudden death risk and had no interaction with other factors, allowing model development on both treatment and placebo groups. A risk score of sudden death in 5 years was built with seven significant risk factors: age, sex, SBP, serum total cholesterol, cigarette smoking, diabetes, and history of myocardial infarction. In terms of discrimination performance, HYSUD model was adequate with areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 77.74% (confidence interval 95%, 74.13-81.35) for the derivation set, of 77.46% (74.09-80.83) for the validation set, and of 79.17% (75.94-82.40) for the whole population. CONCLUSION: Our work provides a simple risk-scoring system for sudden death prediction in hypertension, using individual data from six randomized controlled trials of antihypertensive treatments. HYSUD score could help assessing a hypertensive individual's risk of sudden death and optimizing preventive therapeutic strategies for these patients.
