Pediatric Decision Tree Pediatric Study Decision Tree Reasonable to assume (pediatrics vs adults) � similar disease progression? � similar response to intervention? YES TO BOTH NO Reasonable to assume similar • Conduct PK studies concentration-response (C-R) • Conduct safety/efficacy trials* in pediatrics and adults? NO NO YES • Conduct PK studies to Is there a PD measurement** achieve levels similar to adults that can be used to predict • Conduct safety trials efficacy? YES • Conduct PK/PD studies to get • Conduct safety trials C-R for PD measurement • Conduct PK studies to achieve http://www.fda.gov/cder/guidance/5341fnl.htm target concentrations based on C-R 9 | Statistical Modelling Issues Arising from PK/PD Bridging in Paediatrics | Jerry R.

Pediatric Decision Tree: But first … Reasonable to assume similar concentration-response (C-R) in pediatrics and adults? Are the estimated PK/PD (C-R) relationships acceptable in the first place? 14 | Statistical Modelling Issues Arising from PK/PD Bridging in Paediatrics | Jerry R. Nedelman | 14 April 2008

Observational vs Experimental � “Relationship”: Input � Output � Experimental study: Input controlled by investigator • Usually assigned randomly to experimental units • E.g., dose-controlled trial, concentration-controlled trial � Observational study: Input not controlled by investigator • E.g., PK � PD in a dose-controlled trial • PK is an output as well as an input • For PK/PD purposes, a dose-controlled trial is an observational study � What can go wrong with observational PK/PD? …. 16 | Statistical Modelling Issues Arising from PK/PD Bridging in Paediatrics | Jerry R.
