Biomarkers in personalized health(care) past, present and future

• From Diagnosis

• To Translational Medicine

• To Personalized/Stratified/Precision Medicine

• To Personalized Health(care)

• Some do’s and don’ts

Biomarkers in the early days

600 BC:

Sushruta, famous Indian surgeon

Diagnosis of diabetes diabetes, then called “sweet urine disease”, by determining if

ants were attracted to a person’s urine.

Alain van Gool, Building Bridges Biomarker Symposium, Helsinki, 6 October 2015 4

Biomarkers in the early days

{Kumar and van Gool, RSC, 2013}

1506:

The urine wheel

Use color, smell and taste of urine

to diagnose disease and decide

best treatment

Biomarker need from pharma industry

• In old days little understanding of cause of disease

• Use of natural compounds from plant and animal

• Limited testing in laboratory + trial and error in clinic

• Frequently not effacious and/or serious side effects in patients

• Unacceptable approach (ethical, financial)

• Start rational and translational drug discovery and development

Key is to have a good view inside

High need for molecular tools that allow a look into the black box

and improve disease management: biomarkers

Drug exposure ?

Diagnosis ?

Cross-species differences ?

Patient classification ? Prognosis ?

Target engagement ?

Modulation of mechanism ?

Off-target drug effects ?

Treatment Phenotype

Mechanism ?

Other (latent) diseases ?

Biomarkers

{Biomarkers definition working group, 2001 }

Definition: ‘a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as

an indicator of normal biological processes, pathogenic processes, or

pharmacologic responses to a therapeutic intervention’

Or ‘Whatever works in adding value’

Molecular biomarkers provide a molecular impression of a biological system

(cell, animal, human)

Biomarkers can be various sorts of data, or combinations thereof

Biomarker-based translational medicine

• Does the compound get to the site of action?

• Does the compound cause its intended

pharmacological/ functional effects?

• Does the compound have beneficial effects on disease

or clinical pathophysiology?

• What is the therapeutic window (how safe is the drug)?

• How do sources of variability in drug response in target

population affect efficacy and safety?

One strategy

11

Biomarker strategy: Data-driven decisions

To be made during testing of drug in preclinical and clinical disease models:

Target engagement? Effect on disease?

yes yes !

no no

• No need to test current

drug in large clinical trial

• Need to identify a more

potent drug

• Concept may still be

correct

• Concept was not correct

• Abandon approach

• Proof-of-Concept

• Proceed to full

clinical

development

“Stop early, stop cheap”

“More shots on goal”

12

Rational selection of best targets and drugs works

The 5R’s assessment:

• Right Target

• Right Tissue

• Right Safety

• Right Patients

• Right Commercial Potential

• Success rates of clinical proof-of-concept have dropped from 28% to 18% • Insufficient efficacy as the most frequent reason • Targeted therapy through Personalized Medicine may be the solution • Patient selection using companion diagnostics

Tumor tissue heterogeneity

• BRAFV600D/E is considered as driving mutation in melanoma

• However, also no BRAFV600D/E mutation found in regions of a primary melanoma

• Molecular heterogeneity in diseased tissue

• Biomarker levels in tissue vary

• Biomarker levels in body fluids will vary

• Major challenge for (companion) diagnostics in solid cancers

• Monitoring should be on the background; only alert when risk

• Success through participation of user

• Personal choice to actively monitor or not

• Commercial competition of tool builders to become market leader(s)

• Implementation as standard in society
