Abstract:

US FDA has allowed extrapolation of efficacy from adults and an abbreviated pediatric development program where there is an expectation of a similar exposure-response (E-R) relationship in addition to a similar disease progression and treatment response in children, when compared to adults. Historically, the assessment of E-R similarity was based on visual inspection of two E-R curves. This talk will discuss a more quantitative method to compare exposure-response relationships between pediatric and adult populations to inform decision making in pediatric drug development. This method clarified that non-inferiority instead of similarity is required to extrapolate adult efficacy to pediatric patients. It also provided reliable objective criteria for non-inferiority assessment and decision making for efficacy extrapolation in pediatric population.
