industry?
- What are the implications for drug development ?
Effectiveness – integrated measure(s) of efficacy and safety
shift in paradigm from ‘one dose fits all’
shift in paradigm from ‘one endpoint fits all’
shift in paradigm from ‘large, non-enriched trials’
- Model-based approach to integrate data:
right dose, right patient, right methods
- Conclusions
‘Clinical Reality….
We’ve got a new wonder drug!
- But I wonder which
what itdose
will do

Non-responders
or toxic
responders
Treat with alternative drug

Responders and patients

•
•
Retrospective, multi-centre, open
509 patients with active RA enrolled in this study are
participants in a trial to test the effectiveness of
different treatment strategies (BeSt- study)
•
all patients have active disease according to ACR
criteria, disease duration < 2 years
•
247 patients are treated with monotherapy MTX

Scores ≥ 6
Low probability to respond to MTX
monotherapy. Consider a combination strategy.
Scores < 6, but > 3.5
Intermediate probability to respond to MTX
monotherapy. Evaluate after 3 months therapy.
Scores ≤ 3.5
High probability to respond to MTX

Conclusions - BeST
The chance to achieve clinical response with MTX
treatment is predictable in recent onset RA.
It is feasible to assist initial treatment decisions
to tailor therapy in RA patients according to their baseline criteria
