16 20 Oct 2005ODAC Pediatric Subcommittee: Clofarabine 16 Initial pediatric ALL post-approval Clinical development plan Step 1Step 1 –Phase I / II dose-escalation study of CLO plus Ara-C and L-asparaginase (L-asp) in refractory or relapsed ALL Step 2Step 2 –Randomized Phase III study of (Ara-C + L-asp) ± CLO in pediatric ALL in first relapse Concepts from COG protocol AALL01P2Concepts from COG protocol AALL01P2 Innovative, yet complicated, multi-agent designInnovative, yet complicated, multi-agent design

18 20 Oct 2005ODAC Pediatric Subcommittee: Clofarabine 18 FDA comments on Proposed development plan Agreed to step 1 (Phase I / II combination)Agreed to step 1 (Phase I / II combination) Stated that step 2 (Phase III) “does not appear to have a realistic chance of showing a clinical benefit of clofarabine in children with ALL in first relapse”Stated that step 2 (Phase III) “does not appear to have a realistic chance of showing a clinical benefit of clofarabine in children with ALL in first relapse” COG AALL01P2 designed to identify optimal combination therapies for patients with ALLCOG AALL01P2 designed to identify optimal combination therapies for patients with ALL Genzyme’s understanding is that the complex multi-agent design would make it difficult to isolate the clinical benefit of clofarabineGenzyme’s understanding is that the complex multi-agent design would make it difficult to isolate the clinical benefit of clofarabine

19 20 Oct 2005ODAC Pediatric Subcommittee: Clofarabine 19 Additional issue with Proposed development plan Combination CLO + Ara-C + L-asp did not have wide investigator supportCombination CLO + Ara-C + L-asp did not have wide investigator support –Potential toxicity concerns Ara-C + L-asp already “maximally toxic”Ara-C + L-asp already “maximally toxic” Thus, may not be able to effectively dose-escalate clofarabineThus, may not be able to effectively dose-escalate clofarabine

20 20 Oct 2005ODAC Pediatric Subcommittee: Clofarabine 20 Revised pediatric ALL post-approval Clinical development plan Step 1Step 1 –Conduct at least two Phase I / II combination studies CLO + cyclophosphamide + etoposide (protocol CLO 21800205)CLO + cyclophosphamide + etoposide (protocol CLO 21800205) CLO + Ara-C (protocol COG AAML0523)CLO + Ara-C (protocol COG AAML0523) Step 2Step 2 –Build from Phase II results to design appropriate randomized Phase III study to demonstrate clinical benefit

21 20 Oct 2005ODAC Pediatric Subcommittee: Clofarabine 21 Potential Phase III study design Randomized Phase III Study of combination selected based on the results of the Phase I/II studiesRandomized Phase III Study of combination selected based on the results of the Phase I/II studies Patient populationPatient population –1 st relapse –2 nd /Subsequent relapse Potential endpointsPotential endpoints –Event free survival –Remission rate/duration of remission –Overall survival FDA/Genzyme to discuss details of the Phase III study design once data available from the Phase I/II studiesFDA/Genzyme to discuss details of the Phase III study design once data available from the Phase I/II studies

24 20 Oct 2005ODAC Pediatric Subcommittee: Clofarabine 24 Risks and challenges with Pediatric ALL development proposal No standard chemotherapeutic options in second or subsequent relapsed or refractory diseaseNo standard chemotherapeutic options in second or subsequent relapsed or refractory disease –Challenge: No standard comparator arm Defining an appropriate primary endpoint for a Phase III studyDefining an appropriate primary endpoint for a Phase III study –Allogeneic SCT only potentially curative option –Challenge: SCT may confound remission duration and potentially other endpoints Small patient population (~500 per year)Small patient population (~500 per year) –Competing clinical trials –Challenge: Difficult to enroll Phase III trial in reasonable timeframe
