fficiency of Ranomize Concentration-Controlle Trials Relative to Ranomize Dose-Controlle Trials, an Application to Personalize Dosing Trials Russell Reeve, PhD Quintiles, Inc. Copyright 2015 Quintiles
RCCT vs RDCT Nomenclature an setup Ranomize ose-controlle trial Patients are ranomize to ose groups Drug from ose istributes into the bloostream, yieling exposure (concentration) Drug in the bloostream fins its way to the site of action Drug at site of action Ranomize concentration-controlle trial Patients are ranomize to concentration groups Drug ose is calculate from the concentration target Drug from ose istributes into the bloostream, yieling exposure (concentration)» Hopefully this is close to the target Drug in the bloostream fins its way to the site of action Drug at site of action Concentration can be summarize by AUC, C max, C min, mean concentration, etc. 2
Assume linearity Base on power moel C = concentration (or summary statistic) Base on power moel, log C = 0 + 1 log + is occasion-to-occasion (but within subject) variability, with Var = 2 0 an 1 may vary subject to subject, but constant within subject We will assume Var 0 = 2, an Var 1 = 0 For ease of exposition, also assume ose proportionality (i.e., 1 = 1) Challenge is to estimate 0 for each patient Algorithm First ose chosen at ranom from oses that achieve expecte exposure on average Observe exposure Use that to ajust ose to bring onto target 3

Definitions Moel for effect Hill moel Y = a + q, where q = {1 + exp[( 0 + 1 m)]} 1 Hypotheses: H 0 : {Y} 0 vs H A : {Y} follow Hill moel Let test T 1 require n 1 to achieve power p, an test T 2 require n 2 to achieve the same power p. Then we efine efficiency to be eff(t 1, T 2 ) = n 2 /n 1 (Lehmann 1986, p. 321) 8
RCCT Theorem Unerlies justification Let PK parameter x be efine as x = () + + form some function of the ose, patient-specific intercept, an resiual variability ~ N(0, 2 ) The variance 2 will vary epening on the esign, with RDCT being less variable than RCCT. We note that RCCT RDCT. Theorem 1 (Reeve 1994): Funamental RCCT Theorem eff(rcct, RDCT) 1 with equality if an only if RCCT = RDCT. Theorem 2: Consistency of Bayesian estimates (cf. Ghosal Theorem 4 quoting Ghosal, Ghosal, Samanta 1994 an Ghosal, Ghosh, Samanta 1995) lim t it = i 9
Commentary Improvement is a function of variability of within to between subjects (/) As long as ajustment is ampene enough, then result is asymptotically true Danger is when you o not ampen enough; see Deming s concern about ajustment in quality control setting Bayesian ajustment ampens enough Aaptive esigns have also been shown to be more efficient in this setting 10

Discussion of Themes Tie together the 3 types of esigns We have iscusse three seemingly isparate esigns, but they are linke by a common theme RCCT Bayesian aaptive Personalize All are using ata (Bayesian upating in all 3) to correct for mis-specification of our moel RCCT corrects for misspecifie exposure Bayesian aaptive an Personalize misspecifie ose-response» Coul be even better if we correct for misspecifie ose-response an exposure simultaneously By correcting for misspecifications, we achieve efficiency in esign 24
