Q

Describe phase 2

A

Pppl who have problem drug is for
More pppl = 100-300 pppl
Up to 2 years = lasts longer
Studies of reliability and side effects = see if reliable (see similar effects in wide range ppl),
33% success = hard, since most of them do work as well as what is available - impossible to predict since many mechanisms involved in humans

Q

Describe clincial trials phase 3

A

1000 - 3000 participants, see ranges of responses and hopefully detect rare side effects
1-4 years = sometimes longer
Efficacy of a therapy and monitor its adverse reactions = need to know if drug will be effective after years, will it wear off
25-30% success rate = low, more side effects / not as effective
Looking at how well drug works and side effects, some side effects, many only show up after years = cannot see in phase 2

25
What has an effect on outcome of phase 3
Patient compliance - must monitor that ppl actually take drug Hospitalization rates lower in ppl who following the regime and took drug all the time = fully adherent
26
Describe clofibrate
Help Prevent cardiovascular catastrophe drug With >80% compliance = took meds every day and mortality the same for drug and placebo = not effective
27
Describe simvastatin drug exp
Drug to prevent heart failure and heart attacks, drugs much better than placebo but couldn’t see difference for first years = gradually protects person
28
Describe ulcer healing exp
2 drugs heal ulcers But down road = ulcer came back more for one of drugs
29
Describe sedation drugs exp - conclusions
Drugs can cause sedation, if sedation wore off= said more pain, if sedation continued = less pain Side effects can bias patient reaction, both pos and neg Sedation provides some pain relief, not really analgesic just sedation so react less to pain
30
What influences drug effect
Psychology of use r Social factors Need to control pychosocial context
31
Compare - hidden application vs open application
Report of pain relief Iv vs actual Human Medication administered by person = friendly, so effect greater when person there, placebo effect added to effect of drug
32
Describe Behavioral cosdition
Condition ppls response
33
Describe placebo -in Brain
Not as intense as effect of drug but simailrties between response in brian
34
Where can placebo happen
Everywhere = Mood, pain, gi, immune, cvs, respirator
35
Describe placebo response by age
Highest in kids = children v repsonsive to enrviemnt, placebo response greater As get older = less but still significant
36
Describe nocebo effects
Pl given placebo report side effects = generates feeling of side effects
37
Describe drug resistance - cancer
Many clincial trials focus on cancer Tumours not homogenous = start as one cancer cell that divides, the more it divides = can accumulate more mutations= sub clones of cancer cells within us our Tumour —> chemo —> apparent remission with low symptoms —> bit if resistance tumour = cells stilll there nad can lead to patient death since hard to kill
38
Describe resistant tumours
Resistant Tumor cells continue uncontrolled growth despite treatment with chemotherapeutic drug Even a slight increase in tumour cell resistance to anti cancer drugs leads to resistance tumours
39
Describe ex= osteporpsis
Should be able to get enough exercise to no get this Measure bone density as age, if any risk = given meds 3 year study = will one injection/year work=. Yes Very successful, works, approved Zoledronic acid
40
Describe denosumab for osteoporosis
Lumbar spine Injections 1-2 times per years Bone strength increases Continual inclrease in one strength Decided it was not fair to keep ppl on placebo bc ppl getting actual drug had little side effects 21.7% increase at 10 years and 16.5% increase at 10 years Monitor with time, need to treat for life 10 years, not blinded, open label
41
Describe nda review
Review by gov Phase 3 Evaluate data on safety and effigy
42
Approach it review of safety data in nda
All info = characterize exposure database Identify drugs elated adverse events Estimate risk or rate of those adverse events Identify risk factors for those adverse events
43
Describe brining drug from lab to clinic
Takes 14-17 years and investment up to 4 billon with 95% risk failure If approved = scale up production and get it onto market Preclinical = 3-6 years Clincial = 6-7 years Scale up to manufacture/regulatory review =0.5-2 years Post marketing surveillance = idnefine
44
What is major proble for reasons of failure of devloepmt phase
Major issue = pathogens is still unclear Do not understand much
45
Describe trade name
Catchy
46
Describe manufacturing requirements
Ideally pill bit sometimes need to be Injected
47
Describe manufacturing conditions
Based on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics that were worked out during clincial trials Ideally = oral, soluble, economical, accessible chemistry, stable =
48
Describe health Canada approving drugs
New generic and bio similar drugs approved After patent expires —> patent ensures they get back the money they spent reasearching drug
49
Describe drug delivery systems for 12 hours
Effort for strategies of administration Pills that slowly release content in gi tract
50
Describe quality control
Every pill and vial have same dose concentration,everything os perfect and sterile
51
Describe phase.4 clincial trials
Thousands of ppl 1+ year Monitor long term safety and efficacy of a therapy after its approval 70-90% success rate Some are taken off = discover issue or drug withdrawn since something better comes out Want to see drug in therapeutic window where see vey few side effects
52
Describe efficacy
Identify end points in advance = know what we want Hypothesis testing Focus on individual studies
53
Describe safety data
Don’t know endpoints in advance - use broad screening and careful observation Exploration and estimation Focus on pools of studies Rare side effective
54
Describe uncommon adverse drug reactions
For an adverse drug interact that occurs once in 1000 cases, one would have to study 3000 cases to have a 95% chance of observing event Neeed to have many ppl to see effect
55
Describe characterization of a new drugs safety profile before maekrtting
Most drugs approved by fda with average of 1500 patient exposures Some drugs have rare toxicity profiles - bromefenac hepatotoxicty in 1 in 20 000 patients For drugs with rare toxicity, more than 100,000 patients must be exposed to generation a signal - after drug is marketeted
56
What do pharmacists do
Keep tack = ask if any any Sid effects
57
Who vulnerable
V old and young= kids can get into meds, old ppl = may have risk of interactions, variability = Lowe p450s so metabolize slower = greater chance side effect + Interactions
58
Describe grapefruit juice problem
Affects drug metabolizes enzymes = blocks 3A4 Interactions between drugs and food
59
What is black box warning
Need to take certain precautions Valuable in a limited range of patients Does it indicate drug is too dangerous just that maximum precaution must be taken Way of flagging important safety info Most serious medication warning required by fda Used when meds can cause serious undesirable effects compared to potential benefit from drug Indicates needs for extra precautions
60
Describe fda adverse event reporting system
Safety warnings have even increasing Phase 4 v improatnt = somethings only occurs after prolonged time
61
Describe repurposing
May be promising for cance therapy = bc now drug is safe and can look at sides effects = can be used for sometime else Mostly happens in paste 4 sometimes phase.3 Mutleiple advanatges = do not hav to redo lab work bc already done
62
Describe special case -e mergern
Fast track Condense trials Or for fatal disease = request faster testing
63
Describe orpha drugs
Funding and recognition - give ha made special provisions Not worth time an money For uncommon disease Styludies more often now
64
Describe debase targets of new drugs in clincial trials
Cns infectious disease Oncology
65
2018 Nobel price immunotherapy for cancer
Pdl1 ligand interacts with T cell Cancer = develop ability to inhibit te cell - blocks reocogniotn Either or both = antibodies block inhibition = interrupt recognizing Anti pd1, or anti ctla4 Removes brakes on T cells = tumor reocgnziiotn and detach, can kill cancer cells now = Use antibody to block a built of cancer cell to inhibit T cells = T cell attack cancer Works well
66
What is pembrolizumab
Non small cell lung cancer = used to kill a lot Most common category Drug saved 40% of ppl with this therapy = antibodies block
67
What is combinations immunotherapy for melanoma
Skin cancer Combine 3 = antibodies and pd1 blockage = almost everyone survives
68
Describe chronic lymphocytic melanoma
Therapy developed by understanding pathoegneiss Looked at what went wrong = btk = enzyme involved in controlling proliferation of B cells
69
What is ibrutinib
Selective inhibitor btk, blocks tangent for particular type of cancer
70
What does imbrutinib do
Forms specific bond with cysteine 481 in btk Highly potent btk inhibit Orally administers with once daily dosing resulting in 24 hr target inhibition Not cytotoxic effect on T cells or nk cells In clll cells promotes apoptosis and inhibits cll cell migration and adhesion Phase 1/2 data of single agent ibrutinib in 61 relapsed/refractory cll patients demonstrated high frequency durable response
71
Describe btk - drug results
Enzyme blocker superior to chemo Oral administration works better tahan if antibod- do not need it injections, minimal side effects if detected early = everyone survives
72
Describe summary ibrutinib
Administered as a single agent to patients > or equal to 65 years with treatment naive cll = understanding pathogenesis important Overall survival = better if treated from day 1
73
Describe new era cancer therapy
Monocoloncal antibodies Murine - Momab - mouse Chimeric - ximab Humanize = Zumab Human = umab
74
Describe strategy for cancer tehapry
Anti cancer drug linked to monoclonal antibody = Have antibody target something specific on cancer cell and deliver drug = proper effect it far less side effects than Iv admin
75
Describe radioisotope
Onto monoclonal antibody = deliver to cancer cell Fewer sides effects than a big area of tissue radiated
76
Describe herceptin
Antibody against growth factor Herceptin blocks receptor Breast cancer cell = has great increase in growth factors Growth slows = decrease replication rate and will kill tumour cells
77
Describe antibody - drug conjugate
Allow rig to be taken into cancer cell and release cytosine agent in cell
78
What does labelling tumour cells do
See how prostate cancer spread Better diagnosis It radicalize compound on monoclonal antibodies = target prostate cancer cells Actinium
79
Describe radioliand therapy
Target and destroy cancer cell
80
Describe creating cancer vaccines
Take blood from patient In lab = extract tumour cells, antigen linked to a cytokine, tumour cells circulate in blood Create dendritic cell - matrices and infused back into patient Triggers = T cell attacks cancer cell
81
Treating migraines
3 ways to block CGRP - know to be part of pathognesis of migraines 3 diff antibodies to blocks it Result of clinical trial = ajovy All 3 antibodies effective and approved = on market
82
How to treats cvs diseases
Ways to limit amount of cholesterol floating in blood Receptor internalizes and gets rid of cholesterol
83
Can lowing ldl by
Pcsk9 inhibitors = more cholesterol, taken up by receptors and then broken down in liver,increase breakdown Statins - decrease synthesis
84
Treating heart failure
Natriuretic and other vasoactove peptides = lower bp and promote sodium excretion Natural peptides that lower bp Neprilysin drug Block metabolism so increase natural peptide Survival doubled, quality of life improved
85
Is hepatitis c curable
Used to kill everyone = now curvale Sofosbuvir - sovaldi blocks rna rep of hep c
86
Describe improvements - vaccines
Better Against rsv = beyfortus = infant protection against rsv, v good immunization for it, serious in young kids
87
Describe pharmacokinetics challenge - future
Avoid injection Want oral drugs mostly Targets in cns - need to understand Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, major site of challenge
88
Describe future - targets
Intracellualr targets for bio pharmaceutical drugs
89
Describe goals of pharmacological research
Anti viral drugs Prevent of cancer and treat Gene therapy Proteomics - individual therapy Prevention of dementia - not just treat Extend health span and lifespan
90
What else do drugs do = for others
If shown to work in humans = tested and often benefits animals= cats, dogs, birds Many benefits extend to other species
