Critical Path Initiative
Biomarkers appear in two contextsDiagnosisDrug discoveryConcept of personalized medicine grounded in genomic map but not bounded by this
Critical Path Initiative

Bad News
Cutting edge new technology --multiplex, bioinformatics, nanotechnologyPaucity of material or method standardsBiological and clinical nuancesFinancial uncertainties
Bad News
Scientific limitations are clear Spectrum biasVerification biasImpact of missing data pointsDiscrepancy
Good News

Growing FDA Guidance
Voluntary Genomic Data Submissions guidanceConcept paper on co-developmentStatistical guidance on IVD labelingGuidance on pharmacogenetic and heritable genetic testsBayesian statistics
Good News
Broad menu of regulatory toolsMandate to be least burdensomeNew scientific resources -- MDUFMANew regulatory programs -- FDA data template, critical path
Flexible Regulatory Tools
Pre-IDEExpedited reviewsReal time reviewsDe novo classification
Review Successes
Cystic Fibrosis test – 109 daysAvian flu – 14 daysUGT1A1 – 9 days
Co-Development
If predictive diagnostic determines drug choiceSafety and effectiveness of drug becomes hostage to diagnosticNeed to understand system as a whole
Predictive Marker
Identify patients by biomarker status; randomize therapy across all patientsIdentify patients by biomarker status; randomize therapy in subsetsRandomize by treatment; look back at biomarkers
