  1. Exposure-AE-Dropout Analysis in Patients treated with pregabalin. Raymond Miller Pfizer Global Research and Development

  2. Issue • A new 2 ligand (PD0332334) that has anxiolytic properties was in development. • Little was known about AE’s for this compound, however, extensive knowledge from other 2 ligands (pregabalin) available. • It is generally believed that dose titration may reduce AE’s.

  3. Objective • To characterize the relationship between PD0332334 dose, patient characteristics, time, severity and frequency of dizziness and somnolence in patients with GAD.

  4. Questions • Would AE frequency be different if the drug was titrated to the target dose? • How long do we need to titrate to minimize AE’s? • How many dose steps do we need to minimize AE’s?

  5. Current Information • Multiple phase 3 trials with pregabalin titrated over 3 to 7 days to attain steady state dose in the treatment of GAD. • One phase 4 study with three treatment groups: placebo, pregabalin 600 mg/day fixed, 150-600 mg/day titrated..

  6. Phase 3 trialsGAD patients treated with Pregabalin • 1630 patient’s information (47218 observations) was pooled from 6 clinical studies. • All studies consisted of treatment arms with a dose titration phase varying from 3 to 7 days followed by a three or five week maintenance. • Dizziness was spontaneously recorded using a daily diary as none=0, mild=1, moderate=2, and severe=3. • Dropout was recorded as such up to 3 days before scheduled conclusion of the study.

  7. Objectives • To describe the exposure-longitudinal AE severity relationship following multiple doses of pregabalin. • To describe the relationship between AE and patient dropout • To explore the relationship between dose titration of pregabalin and dropout

  8. Frequency of dizziness by day and dose

  9. Exposure-Dizziness-Dropout in GAD patients treated with Pregabalin • Models were developed for exposure-AE as well as AE-dropout. • For AE separate models were developed for theincidence of adverse event and for the conditional severity of adverse event given that an adverse event has occurred. • The unconditional severity probability distribution was obtained by summing the joint probabilities. • Dropout was modeled using a discrete time survival model.

  10. Assumption that j ~ Niid(0, 2) is violated.

  11. Incidence Model • The probability of incidence of dizziness was modeled using a nonlinear logistic regression model given by the expression: • The incidence model does not contain an inter-individual random effect because AEi is observed only once for each patient • Sigmoid Emax model best describes the drug effect although γ is not well estimated

  12. Observed vs. PredictedIncidence Model

  13. Conditional Severity Model • The probability of each severity (none, mild, moderate, severe) was modeled with a proportional odds model. The conditional severity model given by the expression: • Drug exposure was based on the intended daily dose (titrated) of pregabalin. • Emax model with time-course placebo effect and a component with an exponential attenuation best describe the AE severity.

  16. Markov Model • Markov elements have been incorporated to account for the correlation between neighboring observations within a subject: • The logistic function (proportional odds model) and the same structures obtained with the conditional severity model was used.

  24. Conclusion • The probability of experiencing dizziness during any day increases with pregabalin daily dose. • The predicted mean incidence of dizziness was around 35 % at daily dose of 200 mg/day or greater, which was at least 2 fold higher compared to those of at daily doses <150 mg/day. • The most frequently reported severity was mild to moderate. The risk of experience dizziness with any severity increases within 1 week, but decline to over the next 3 to 4 weeks. The risk of mild or moderate dizziness increases up to 25 % within 1 week, and declines to around 7 % over 3 to 4 weeks. • The proportional odds model including a Markov element could describe the time-course of probability of dizziness well.

  27. Dropout Model • Dropout was modeled using a discrete time survival model (Gompertz). • Dizziness severity was included in the model as a covariate. g(w,Yt-1) represents the hazard function
