14 14 Activation of Inflammation and Coagulation in Severe Sepsis Activation of coagulation occurs early in severe sepsis and is associated with:Activation of coagulation occurs early in severe sepsis and is associated with: –Increased thrombin generation and fibrin formation –Impaired fibrinolysis –Depletion of key regulatory proteins (eg, Protein C and antithrombin) –Decreased capacity to activate Protein C –Systemic inflammation resulting from activation of monocytes, neutrophils, and endothelium 9147.02

85 85 Subgroup Conclusions F1K-MC-EVAD tested one primary hypothesis - results show that drotrecogin alfa (activated) significantly reduces mortality in population of patients defined by inclusion/exclusion criteria Caution should be exercised in interpreting individual exploratory subgroup results (multiplicity, natural variability, supportive evidence) No clear evidence to support a differential effect of drotrecogin alfa (activated) by disease severity 9296.02

86 86 Clinical Experience in Pediatric Patients with Severe Sepsis 6775.01

87 87 Rationale for Pediatric Development Program Provide guidance to pediatric intensivists –If approved, drotrecogin alfa (activated) will be used in pediatric patients with severe sepsis Development program based on: –ICH guidelines –Code of Federal Regulations –Collaboration with FDA 6340.03 Majority of drugs used by pediatric intensivists are not approved for use in pediatric patients Majority of drugs used by pediatric intensivists are not approved for use in pediatric patients

88 88 Where the course of the disease and the effects of the drug are sufficiently similar in adult and pediatric patients, FDA may conclude that pediatric effectiveness can be extrapolated from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults usually supplemented with other information obtained in pediatric patients such as pharmacokinetic studies. 21 CFR 314.55(a) CPMP/ICH/2711/99 9306.01 Extrapolation of Efficacy

97 97 Conclusions from Pediatric Studies Pediatric patients are similar to adults based upon –Similar inclusion criteria –Presence of coagulopathy Effect of drotrecogin alfa (activated) is similar in adult and pediatric patients –PK of drotrecogin alfa (activated) –PD effect of drotrecogin alfa (activated) on D-dimer –Safety profile Results of the pediatric study support drotrecogin alfa (activated) use in pediatric patients with severe sepsis – Extrapolation of efficacy results from Phase 3 study F1K-MC- EVAD in adult patients with severe sepsis 6538.01

98 98 Overall Conclusions Drotrecogin alfa (activated) reduces mortality in patients with severe sepsis and is associated with a favorable benefit-risk profile in patients with severe sepsis. 9257.01
