Two Analysis MethodsPrimary method (E14)
(intersection-union test)
Easy to implement
Fewer model assumptions
ₓ Focus on single time point:
ₓ Sensitive to outliersₓ Sponsor might be punished
for adding a time point
Exposure-response method (C-QT modeling)
Concentration data used
Used all time points, can reduce sample size
Robust to outliers
Applicable for alternative designs
ₓ More model assumptions
ₓ Intensive analysis
ₓ Result interpretation

CSRC/IQ
Concerns Brought Up1. Limited number of drugs tested
2. Small sample size: large impact from outliers
3. Need for placebo control
4. Modeling
– Time/Treatment effect and other covariates?
5. C-QT data issue: nonlinearity and hysteresis
6. No positive control for assay sensitivity
7. Interpretation: clinically relevant exposure
8. Decision criteria and timing
11
CSRC/IQ
Subsampling from Archived TQT Studies
• Repeat subsampling from 15 positive and 10
negative studies to mimic an early phase study with
6 or 9 subjects on drug and 4 or 6 on placebo
• Results are supportive:
– False positive rates are low (depends on QT effect size)
– For drugs with a QTc effect of 12 ms or above according
to TQTs, the false negative rates are below 5%
– Grey zone: drugs with a QTc effect of around 7 to 12 ms
according to TQTs => ? clinically relevant QT prolongation
13

Grey Zone: Positive TQT with Marginal Signal

Assay Sensitivity in QT-IRT Database
Total 310 TQT studies (2005 – Nov, 2014)
•13 (4.2%) had a issue of assay sensitivity:• Grade 1 (+): 3 (missing the rising phase)
• Grade 2 (++): 4 (no expected time course)
• Grade 3 (+++): 3 (LB < 5 ms)
• Grade 4 (++++): 3 (Point estimates around 5 ms &
flat time course)
18

(3.2%)
Low failure rates in TQT do NOT mean a positive control
is not important.
CSRC/IQ
Assay Sensitivity for Early Assessment• Based on the assay sensitivity survey and the
resampling results:
– We have the capability to ensure the operation sensitivity
if we care.
– Population sensitivity is not a common issue.
• In general, excess noise results in inconclusive or
false ‘positive’ findings
• Alternative ways for operation sensitivity should be
in place (e.g., review of QT-RR relationships, data
throughout the nominal time window, QT-RR hysteresis)
19
CSRC/IQ
Concerns & Potential Solutions1. Limited number of drugs tested
2. Small sample size: effect size seems more important
3. Need for placebo control: Yes, at this moment
4. Modeling - Time/Treatment effect
5. C-QT data issue: nonlinearity and hysteresis
6. No positive control for assay sensitivity: Alternative ways for ECG
quality
7. Interpretation: clinically relevant exposure
8. Decision criteria and timing: Continuous Assessment
– Dose range
– Profile of the concentration-QTc relationship
– Integrated preclinical knowledge
– Two-stage review: Early phase & Pre-NDA/NDA

Outline• FDA’s review of the IQ/CSRC study
• Comparison between C-QT and Central
Tendency Test (IUT)
• Concerns regarding IQ/CSRC project
• Current regulatory application and moving
forward
• Summary
21
CSRC/IQ
Already Happening in Waiving TQT
• Significant QT prolongation and a slope
• Significant negative slope that
demonstrate QT shortening
• No effect at supratherapeutic exposure
multiple times higher than therapeutic
exposure with reliable placebo control and
ECG quality
22
CSRC/IQ
Criteria for Negative QT assessment?The upper bound of the 2-sided 90% confidence interval (CI) of
the predicted placebo-corrected ∆QTcF is below 10 ms at the
highest clinically relevant plasma concentrations of the drug:
– Generally unknown at the early phase assessment
– Should target ‘worst PK scenario’ as in a TQT
– Should be covered by the early phase ECG assessment
•Interpretation & Decision: Continuous Assessment
– Dose range
– Profile of the concentration-QTc relationship
– Integrated preclinical knowledge
– Multiple-stage review: Early phase – EOP2 – Pre-NDA/NDA
23
CSRC/IQ
Summary• FDA independently confirmed the results of IQ-
CSRC prospective study
• C-QT uses all time points and is less biased.
Therefore, sample size can be reduced.
• Utility of C-QTc relationship from early clinical
studies for the QT assessment is promising
• Some concerns regarding the details of trial design,
modeling and validation, criteria for
industry/regulatory decision, regulatory review
standard and procedures need further clarification
