Abstract:

Clinical trials in pediatrics rely on the prior knowledge of efficacy and safety from adults. Showing similarity of a) disease progression b) treatment response c) drug exposure d) exposure-response (PK/PD) in adults and pediatrics would allow for full extrapolation of efficacy in pediatrics. However, quantitative methodologies for assessment of similarity in exposure-response are limited with most of the full extrapolation decisions made on clinical judgement and qualitative assessments. Recently, the FDA released a policy statement that extrapolation of efficacy from adults to pediatric patients (> 4 years of age) for adjunctive therapy of partial seizures is acceptable based on quantitative PK/PD assessments of several anti-epileptic drugs approved. Assessing the similarity of the PK/PD relationship by borrowing information from adults, for extrapolation in pediatrics, naturally fits into the Bayesian paradigm. This talk will discuss about Bayesian methodologies to assess similarity of exposure-response between adults and pediatrics. Different methods of prior elicitation from adult data and Bayesian hierarchical modeling will be discussed with a case study in epilepsy.
