Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a system for developing target specific assays for determining whether a patient will likely respond to a target specific drug, and more particularly to a such a system that is highly economical and provides synergies when diagnostics and drugs are developed in parallel.
- HERCEPTIN® is a monoclonal antibody that targets metastatic breast cancer cells that overexpress the HER-2 oncogene. HERCEPTIN® works by binding to the HER-2 growth factor receptors present in excessive amounts on the surface of the cancer cells. The drug is indicated only for patients whose tumors have either amplification (i.e. extra copies) of the HER-2 gene as determined by an in-situ hybridization (ISH) assay or protein overexpression as determined by an immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay. HER-2 status has also been found to predict patient response to a variety of conventional therapeutic agents such as doxorubican.
- ISH in-situ hybridization
- IHC immunohistochemistry
- HERCEPTIN® the safety and efficacy were studied in clinical trials of patients having metastatic breast cancer whose tumors overexpress the HER-2 protein as measured by an IHC research-use-only assay of tumor tissue performed by a reference laboratory. Patients were eligible to participate in the trial if they had 2+ or 3+ levels of overexpression (based on a 0-3+ scale) by IHC assessment of tumor tissue performed by at the research lab. Data from the trials suggested that the beneficial treatment effects were largely limited to patients with the highest level of HER-2 protein overexpression.
- test used during the HERCEPTIN® drug trials was a "home brew" assay not designed by a company that normally sells diagnostics
- the specifics of the test e.g. protocol, reagent concentrations, features for use with an automated instrument
- the diagnostic, or its equivalent would need to be available after the drug is approved for marketing.
- a diagnostic can be sold it must be tested in clinical studies that establish the ability of the diagnostic to determine which patients are more likely to benefit from the drug.
- HERCEPTIN® required large collections of diseased tissue had to be screened for gene amplification/overexpression three times: (i) during the research phase to correlate gene amplification with disease outcome, (ii) in the validation of the clinical trial assay, and (iii) in the development and approval of the commercial diagnostic to prove equivalency to the clinical trial assay.
- human disease tissue is a scarce commodity, especially samples with reports detailing the medical histories of the patient from whom the tissue was excised.
- the present invention is directed to a system for developing diagnostic assays for determining whether a particular therapeutic agent will benefit an individual.
- the system comprises a continuum of processes that advance diagnostic development while at the same time benefitting the entity developing the therapeutic agent.
- This continuum of "dual use" processes i.e. processes that benefit both diagnostic and drag development
- the continuum of processes according to the present invention preferably comprises three distinct phases: (i) target validation (i.e., establishing the clinical utility of a macromolecule as a target of therapy) by developing an assay to screen for the target in large quantities of tissues from different patients, organs, diseases, or disease stages, (ii) using the assay to select patients in a clinical trial to test the efficacy of a drug designed to interact with the target while at the same time testing the effectiveness of the assay, and (iii) using the assay in the marketplace to help determine whether a target specific drug should be prescribed to a particular patient based on the characteristics of the target in tissue removed from the patient.
- target validation i.e., establishing the clinical utility of a macromolecule as a target of therapy
- the assay created for target validation helps drug developers ascertain the relevance of the target for therapy and may also be a useful diagnostic product in its own right.
- an assay used to select patients during a clinical trial may not only help expedite drug approval but, if designed and used in a particular manner, can latter be sold commercially as a diagnostic with few regulatory barriers to overcome.
- target validation for each tissue sample the quantity or location of target is determined and compared to other samples from different organs or from patients in different disease states.
- determining that amplification or overexpression of a particular gene is more frequent in tumors from patients with a " recurrent form of cancer may create a prognostic marker used in planning treatment strategies as well as a target for designing new drugs that interact with the gene or its product.
- each phase provides a "dual use" function that permits some of the costs of diagnostic development to be shifted to the pharmaceutical companies which typically have greater .resources...
- Yet another advantage of the present invention is the speed and high-throughput achieved through the use of the combination of tissue microarrays together with the automated staining instrumentation.
- Still another advantage of the present invention is that it allows accurate comparison of results from multiple different tissue samples each having been treated in precisely the same manner.
- Yet another advantage of the present invention is that the same staining protocol (reagents, times, temperatures, etc.) developed for evaluating or validating a target in a research setting can be subsequently employed a clinical (patient care) setting for disease prognosis or treatment selection.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration showing the system for assay development according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of the target validation method according to the present invention. Detailed Description of the Invention
- FIG. 1 a schematic illustration showing the system for assay development according to the present invention which is designated generally by reference numeral 5.
- System 5 generally comprises a continuum of processes that perform the dual functions of providing a valuable service to companies that are developing drugs while at the same time contributing to the development of commercial
- the continuum of processes according to the present invention preferably comprises three distinct phases: (i) target validation 10 (i.e., establishing the clinical utility of a macromolecule as a target of therapy) by developing an assay to screen for the target in large quantities of tissues from different patients, organs, diseases, or disease stages, (ii) clinical trials assay 60 (i.e. using the assay to select patients in a clinical trial to test the efficacy of a drug designed to interact with the target while at the same time testing the effectiveness of the assay), and (iii) parallel marketing 70 (i.e., using the assay in the marketplace to help determine whether a target specific drag should be prescribed to a particular patient based on the characteristics of the target in tissue removed from the patient).
- target validation 10 i.e., establishing the clinical utility of a macromolecule as a target of therapy
- clinical trials assay 60 i.e. using the assay to select patients in a clinical trial to test the efficacy of a drug designed to interact with the target while at the same
- “Clinical Utility” means usefulness of a target for (i) designing or prescribing a drug or therapy that interacts with the target, or (ii) determining which patients would be most likely to benefit from a particular drug or therapy.
- 'Different Tissue means tissue from different patients, organs, diseases, and/or disease stages.
- High-Throughput means the capability to treat more than about 20,000 different tissue samples in one day with one operator.
- Sources and “Target Sources” means companies or similar entities that provide the system according to the present invention with at least one target, receive services from the system, and are separately controlled from the company that uses the system.
- “Screen” means determining the presence, absence, quantity, location, and/or other characteristics of a target in a tissue sample.
- Stain means any biological or chemical substance which, when applied to targeted - • ⁇ molecules in tissue, renders the molecules detectable under a microscope. Stains include without limitation detectable nucleic acid probes, antibodies, and dyes.
- Target and “Targeted molecules” means detectable molecules found in cells including without limitation nucleic acids, proteins, antigens, carbohydrates, lipids, and small molecules.
- tissue means any collection of cells that can be mounted on a standard glass microscope slide including, without limitation, sections of organs, tumor sections, bodily fluids, smears, frozen sections, cytology preps, and cell lines.
- tissue Array and "Tissue Micorarray” means a glass microscope slide or similar solid surface having a plurality of different tissue samples thereupon.
- Treating shall mean application of a stain to a tissue as well as other processes associated with such application including, without limitation, heating, cooling, washing, rinsing, drying, evaporation inhibition, deparaffinization, cell conditioning, mixing, incubating, and/or evaporation.
- Validation or “Target Validation” means screening tissues in order to confirm the relevance of a potential target for action by a therapeutic.
- phase 10 is substantially as described in U.S. Provisional Application Number 60/155,665 filed September 24, 1999 which is incorporated herein in its entirety.
- phase 10 generally utilizes tissue microarray apparatus 12 for constructing arrays of hundreds of minute tissue samples mounted on a single glass microscope slide, staining apparatus 14 for automatically conducting most of the steps required for ISHZIHC, and imaging apparatus 16 to allow the results of the ISH/THC staining to be visualized and analyzed by the user.
- System 10 preferably has access to one or more tissue banks 18 (a-c) having thousands of preserved surgical samples catalogued by organ type, disease, and patient history.
- system 10 is adapted to serve multiple sources of different targets 20 such as pharmaceutical companies and the like who each supply the system with one or more molecular targets 22 (DNA, RNA, or protein) and receive data 24 regarding the clinical relevance • of the targets based on screening of the tissue samples assayed.
- targets 20 such as pharmaceutical companies and the like who each supply the system with one or more molecular targets 22 (DNA, RNA, or protein) and receive data 24 regarding the clinical relevance • of the targets based on screening of the tissue samples assayed.
- Sources 20 of target molecules for system 10 would include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, that have identified novel targets believed to be associated with a particular disease or disorder including genes, gene fragments, mRNA sequences, or antigens. Typically they have an idea or prediction of the targets' biological function from profiling the expression pattern of clinical samples using one or more technologies such as sequence homology, Northern blot, SAGE or DNA microarrays.
- tissue banks 18 and select between 30 and 1000 blocks representmg different patient populations and disease states.
- the selected blocks are used as donor blocks.
- the types of tissue samples selected would depend largely on the diseases for which new in situ assays would be deemed useful in medical practice. This would include cancer, ostoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema. This might also include tissues from patients diagnosed Chron's disease, type I diabetes, and certain other autoimmune disorders.
- Sections cut from the array allow parallel detection of DNA (fluorescense in situ hybridization, FISH), RNA (mRNA ISH) or protein (immunhistochemistry, IHC) targets in each of the hundreds of specimens in the array.
- staining instrument 14 is employed to carry out the staining protocols in an automated manner.
- manual staining of the microarray may first be employed followed by automatic staining of conventional samples with instrumentation 14 to confirm the results of the array.
- conventional sections will need to be used in lieu of the minute samples used with arrays as will be readily apparent to one of skill in the art.
- Staining instrument 14 may be used to perform in-situ hybridization (ISH), in-situ PCR, immunohistochemistry (IHC), Special Stains; as well as a variety of chemical (non-biological) tissue staining techniques on an array or conventional tissue specimens. Moreover, two or more of the above techniques may be employed during a single run despite their differing temperature requirements due to the inventive heating system herein.
- ISH in-situ hybridization
- IHC immunohistochemistry
- Special Stains as well as a variety of chemical (non-biological) tissue staining techniques on an array or conventional tissue specimens.
- two or more of the above techniques may be employed during a single run despite their differing temperature requirements due to the inventive heating system herein.
- the stained slides would be scored and analyzed by a pathologist or pathology support personnel using techniques known in the art.
- the results would be preferably be correlated by a biostatistician to arrive at clinical utility of the target in tissue. For example, it might be determined that overexpression of the gene target is a particular tumor type correlates with extended survival in patients treated with a drug designed to block expression of the gene target. A useful in situ assay could then be developed for use in selecting patients to receive the drug.
- System 10 should be capable of screening large volumes of tissue samples in a high- throughput manner. If both tissue microarray 12 and automated staining instrumentation 14 are used at least one run and perhaps two runs of twenty slides, each supporting up to 1000 minute tissue samples may be treated in one day with a single operator. Thus between 20,000 and 40,000 different samples may be screened per day with a single operator using system 10.
- a drug is selected or designed to specifically block or enhance the activity of the targeted molecule. If the target is an enzyme the drug may be an inhibitor of the enzyme. If the target is a cellular receptor the drag may be an agonist or antagonist to the receptor.
- a clinical trial assay 60 is developed following target validation 10.
- assay 60 utilizes many, if not all, of the reagents and protocol developed during the target validation phase. These generally include, without limitation, the primary antibody (IHC) or nucleic acid probe (TSH), labeling scheme (fluorescent or Brightfield) and the particular hapten used for labeling (e.g. digoxigenin) and optimized staining protocol for automated instrumentation (incubation time, hybridization temperatures, reagent concentrations, etc.).
- IHC primary antibody
- TSH nucleic acid probe
- labeling scheme fluorescent or Brightfield
- the particular hapten used for labeling e.g. digoxigenin
- optimized staining protocol for automated instrumentation incubation time, hybridization temperatures, reagent concentrations, etc.
- tissue microarray as described in U.S. Provisional Application Number 60/155,665 may be employed so that minute samples from hundreds of patients can be treated simultaneously. This "trial on a chip" approach can significantly reduce time and other resources.
- the diagnostic will be used to select patients for enrollment at the outset of the first phase of the drag trial for which efficacy is being tested (typically phase II).
- the effectiveness of the diagnostic as a predictor of response to therapy has not been proven to the satisfaction of regulatory authorities or the sponsors of the trials it may be desirable to initially enroll patients regardless of gene status and determine during the trial if a clear correlation emerges between response to therapy and overexpression or mutation of the target genes.
- the clinical trial assay was designed with the view that it will be ultimately marketed to pathology labs in hospitals and other clinical reference laboratories.
- Reagent labeling is preferably brightfield labeled to be compatible the light microscopes in most pathology labs.
- the protocol is preferably suitable for an automated instrument such as the DISCOVERY instrument sold by Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. (Tucson, AZ).
- the company that designed and manufactured the clinical trials assay will also make and sell the commercial version of the diagnostic. This will avoid the time and expense of having to run another study to prove equivalency etc. thereby consuming more human tissue samples which is, as stated, a scarce resource. It also avoids the need to transfer biological materials and data between organizations with differing operating procedures.
