PLEASE REFER TO THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT FOR ACCESS TO THE LINKS OUTLINED IN THIS NOTICE. ARRA PD Assays Program: Development of Circulating Tumor Cell Pharmacodynamic Assays for Determining Effects of Targeted Therapies I. INTRODUCTION A. SAIC-Frederick, in support of NCI, requests that qualified U.S. businesses submit proposals to develop pharmacodynamic assays for measuring drug response of a number of high-priority molecular targets. Real-time assays to rapidly assess molecular response to treatment, with the capability of performing multiple assessments of patient response at multiple time points in the treatment protocol, are highly desirable as a means to rapidly develop single agent and combination targeted regimens. The capture and quantification of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with metastatic carcinoma may be a useful technique to provide an immediate assessment of prognosis and response to therapy. Enumeration of CTCs has been established as a useful prognostic indicator of patient survival after therapy for breast, colon, and prostate cancer and the CellSearch platform (JNJ Veridex) has received FDA clearance as a clinical diagnostic test. Some significant advantages of CTCs are that they can be monitored in "real-time", they can collected by minimally invasive procedures, and a patient can be tested repeatedly, potentially allowing construction of a true dynamic plot of drug action on molecular targets in tumors Circulating tumor cells can be captured and quantified either by immuno-magnetic separation, or by physical characteristics (e.g. density gradient separation, electrical, or filtration). The CellSearch System is an example of a technology which captures CTCs using antibody coated magnetic beads that recognize an epithelial cell surface antigen. The cells are then labeled with a second epithelial marker and quantified by a semiautomated fluorescent-based microscopy system. A weakness of this particular approach is that it does not provide an immediate distinction between cells derived from tumors and coincidental epithelial cells. It is envisioned that the NCI will assist the selected Offerors in the development of robust pharmacodynamic assays for immediate clinical application via collaboration and partnership. An example of this collaboration is provision of blood from relevant drug-treated engrafted (xenograft) mouse models for the target of interest and in certain circumstances the contribution of bulk critical reagents, calibrators, and positive and negative controls generated in NCI's laboratories and in GMP-grade contracting and manufacturing facilities. The provision of high quality assay kit components is essential for ensuring successful analytical validation of the assay. Furthermore, these assays will undergo "clinical fit-for-purpose" studies in NCI Phase 0/I clinical drug trials, which in turn may lead to the generation of FDA-quality data for 510k or PMA filings by the Offeror clearance. The clinical demonstration of assay performance is often critical to capture market share through widespread clinical adoption, as well as obtaining coverage by healthcare insurers. Although the type of partnership/collaboration will be unique for each assay, the NCI will be able to significantly accelerate the timeline for generating data required for CLIA laboratory adoption and/or FDA approval by leveraging the NCI's resources. B. The goal of the ARRA-funded NCI PD Assay program is to fund eligible U.S. businesses to develop commercially viable products that advance the research and development needs of the Institute. It is expected that companies will extend this work into developing research kits or diagnostic reagents to stratify patients for clinical trial selection and/or to evaluate dosing and target modulation to new therapeutic agents. The NCI Strategic Plan identifies validating molecular targets for cancer prognosis, metastasis, treatment response, and cancer progression as a strategic priority (Strategy 4.2). Part of this strategy includes creating a library of validated molecular target assays in order to advance broad development of targeted anti-tumor agents. Grant mechanisms thus far have not been an effective method of developing these assays, as they have little publication value. Market analysis indicates that CLIA-quality pharmacodynamic assay development, qualified critical reagents, fit-for-purpose target modulation are valuable steps for eventual commercialization of cancer diagnostics and laboratory assays, in addition to serving the needs of cancer therapeutic development. C. The goal of this project is to develop and deliver a method for detection, purification, enumeration and characterization of CTCs that has the following characteristics: 1. The method is suitable for use on small animals. Implicit in this requirement is the ability to analyze sample volumes ranging from 0.1-1.0 mL for CTC determination a. Methods for CTC analysis should be performed on the same aliquot of blood as is used for CTC enumeration. b. Methods for collection, handling, and storage of CTC should be optimized to provide at least a 72 hour window for analysis after sample collection. 2. A method that does not rely on CTC collection by use of a single cell surface marker, while yielding efficient recovery of all intact CTC present. 3. A method that yields CTC of sufficient purity and quality to allow RT-qPCR analysis of gene expression without significant interference from contaminating MNCs and normal epithelial cells 4. The instrument platform should be suitable for investigational use (currently or within 3 years of award of this contract. in a clinical laboratory setting. The required instrument design is open architecture: i.e. amenable to development of research assays by qualified clinical staff. At the conclusion of the project, the Offeror(s) is expected to contribute to advancing the use of circulating tumor cells in patient care by the development of more efficient platforms, especially using lower blood volumes, and the development of ‘pharmacodynamic' assays to interrogate the captured cells. The method, with full development, should allow quantification of the modulation of molecular targets upon treatment with investigational anticancer therapeutics and support pharmacodynamic studies in animal models and in human cancer patients. Ultimately, these studies may find a correspondence between quantitative pharmacodynamic response and degree of tumor growth modulation in animal efficacy models via the same target. Company deliverables are Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for these assays, all supporting data, and critical reagents for independent validation, and necessary instrumentation. II. BACKGROUND A. NCI Developmental Therapeutics Clinic for Phase 0, I and II Clinical Trials To support discoveries made in the NCI NExT Program, the NCI's scientific expertise and state-of-the-art drug development resources are being directed towards more rational selection and clinical evaluation of new molecularly targeted agents to identify safer, more effective treatments for cancer. One of the avenues available for evaluating new anticancer agents is through the conduct of Phase 0 clinical trials. The NCI established the Developmental Therapeutics Clinic (DTC) within the NIH Clinical Center so that DCTD could use Phase 0 clinical trial designs as permitted by the FDA's Exploratory IND Guidance to evaluate agents early in the clinical development process. Phase 0 studies are first-in-human studies of molecularly targeted agents that can evaluate a pharmacodynamic response to drug therapy -as measured by target modulation in tumor-and the agent's PK properties before the more traditional Phase I safety and tolerability evaluation. By administering pharmacologically active but sub-therapeutic, non-toxic doses, Phase 0 trials can support imaging and biodistribution studies, evaluate clinically relevant biomarkers, evaluate the kinetics and/or dynamics of multiple analogs, or assess an agent's MOA. Conducting such a Phase 0 trial can require extensive preclinical effort to develop and validate the PD assay or the imaging agent that will serve as the primary clinical trial endpoint, but the data obtained will inform subsequent Phase I/II single agent or combination studies with suitable agents. These efforts will also focus resources on only the most promising new anticancer drugs by eliminating investigational agents that are unlikely to have activity in large Phase II/III clinical trials. B. DCTD also designs and conducts extramural Phase I and II trials of novel agents, supporting the expedited bench-to-bedside goal of the NCI. The potential for rapid patient accrual combined with world-class resources in basic, clinical, and translational sciences allow the optimum evaluation of promising new anticancer agents. DCTD's Protocol and Information Office (PIO) and Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) shepherds new trials through the review and approval process-many of the trials are multicenter collaborations with other specialist cancer centers and oncology groups and consortia. C. Key Role of Validated, Fit-for-Purpose PD Assays in Phase 0 and Other Early Stage Clinical Studies Evaluation of targeted agents in Phase 1 clinical trials is complicated by difficulty of achieving any clinical effect by RECIST criteria, since drugs are administered as single agents despite most tumors having multiple molecular defects. This conventional approach applied to targeted therapies establishes tolerated dose levels but does not provide evidence of drug efficacy or lack of efficacy. Phase 0 clinical trials are specifically designed to test drug activity on a molecular target in the tumor, and measurement of that drug effect is a clinical trial endpoint. A report of a successful Phase 0 trial using a pharmacodynamic endpoint can be found at: Journal of Clinical Oncology 27:2705, 2009. Meeting these challenges requires rigorously developed and validated, quantitative assays, that have direct pre-clinical evidence, either in animal models or in ex vivo studies with human tissues, of utility in detecting drug effect on target (pharmacodynamics, PD). An example of one such assay specifically developed for use on Circulating Tumor Cells can be found in Clinical Cancer Research 16:1073, 2010. D. Current Status of Therapeutics Discovery by the NCI The primary strength of the NCI's Experimental Therapeutics (NExT) Program is transitioning agents from early development to first-in-human studies. The NCI is highly effective in taking late-stage preclinical drug candidates through the final steps of development that lead to a successful IND filing with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA); these efforts have resulted in the approval of more than 40 anticancer agents. The core elements for late-stage drug development are the conduct of toxicology studies and production of clinical-grade material-activities that are the most expensive and least available in the academic sector. In addition, the NCI's efforts to move agents from late preclinical studies to first-in-human clinical trials have been significantly enhanced over the past 3 years through initiatives designed to increase the flow of molecules from intramural and extramural investigators into the clinic. The culmination of the DCTD and the CCR combined efforts was recently exemplified in the NCI's completion of first Phase 0 trial of a therapeutic agent in oncology. A critical component of this success has been the connection of the molecular pharmacology and early clinical testing resources of the CCR with the extramural resources of the DCTD in the areas of screening, imaging, preclinical pharmacology (PK and PD), toxicology, and formulation, to produce an NCI-led oncologic therapeutics development effort capable of expediting the evaluation of novel anticancer molecules towards the clinic. The NCI has also assembled a team of highly talented clinical investigators who can launch the initial clinical evaluation of a new agent at the conclusion of pre-clinical development, an invaluable resource for NMEs without prior human experience. E. The DCTD Pharmacodynamics Program This program is supported preclinically by the Laboratory of Human Toxicology & Pharmacology (LHTP) and clinically by the National Clinical Target Validation Laboratory (NCTVL). LHTP integrates PD, toxicodynamics, and biopharmaceutics to identify preclinical modeling conditions in the mouse that will closely replicate the clinical situation. The resulting "humanized," nonclinical model of cancer is expected to better predict therapeutic outcome and biomarker changes than more traditional preclinical studies. Using humanized treatment and assessment conditions in mouse models of human disease is important in validating the analytical performance of PD assays prior to their use as primary endpoints of Phase 0 trials. Validated PD assays and the companion Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for specimen handling, processing, and storage required to obtain valid assay results, are formally transferred from PADIS to the NCTVL; the NCTVL uses these validated PD assays to measure molecular drug effects in clinical specimens from Phase 0 and I trials aiming to confirm preclinical activity of new agents against intended molecular targets in human disease. Close collaboration between CCR investigators, NCTVL and the Pharmacodynamics Assay Development & Implementation Section (PADIS) in LHTP ensures the "clinical readiness" of valid laboratory assays for clinical confirmation of molecular activity of CBC agents in these first-in-human studies. Confirmation of drug action on intended molecular target in a Phase 0/I trial is a Stage Gate for a compound to advance into Phase I/II clinical trials under NCI sponsorship, with possible continued NCTVL support of PD studies. PD-based Phase 0/I trials that confirm drug action on intended molecular targets can provide data to accelerate the incorporation of targeted agents into existing clinical treatment regimens and develop new combination regimens from these agents. F. NCI-Frederick, the Federally Funded Research and Development Center at the NCI The NCI-Frederick is the advanced technology development facility for the NCI. For agents that require specific genetically engineered mouse models, it is anticipated that the CCR's Mouse Cancer Genetics Program (MCGP) through the newly established Center for Advanced Preclinical Research will conduct efficacy studies in those models or supply animals for DCTD's Biological Testing Branch to do so. The MCGP uses molecular mouse genetics as a primary tool to better understand the fundamental processes underlying mammalian development and disease III. MINIMAL TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPOSED PLATFORMS The proposal must demonstrate that the proposed platform(s) meets these minimum technical requirements; if not, the proposal will not qualify for further review.
