Clinical data to support biomarker/endpoint qualification: most difficult to obtain• Often no prior clinical studies of any kind• No prior therapeutics or treatments• Little systematic work on clinical condition
and any biomarkers• Often clinical use of biomarkers is not well
established• Time and cost to develop data may be
prohibitive

Rare Diseases Require Different Approaches to Support QualificationWhat clinical data can be collected with no prior clinical studies
Cross-Sectional Studies• Single day assessment of clinical/biomarker• Wide range of severity/outcome• Utilize clinical history data, onset, severity etc.• Can be done with less time and be useful
Natural History Studies• Longer term evaluation• Provides longitudinal with-in patient data• More valuable if obtainable• Often too long or costly to implement

Niemann-Pick B Disease is Caused by Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency (ASMD)
•
A patient with Neimann - Pick B Disease
Niemann-Pick B is a autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder that is chronically debilitating and, for some, life-threatening
Premature death can occur due to cirrhosis, hemorrhage, respiratory failure, or coronary artery disease
Age of presentation is variable (from infancy to adulthood) and symptoms are heterogeneous
Current therapy is palliative
Estimated incidence rate is 1:250,000, worldwide prevalence in developed countries is approximately 3,000 to 5,000 patients

Niemann-Pick B Natural History Study: Design
• Series of 2-3 day evaluations at each site
• 3 visits occurring at Baseline, Year 1, and Years 5-11– Demographics – incl. enzyme assay and genotype
– Medical history – age at onset and diagnosis, medical problems, and treatment
– Physical examination – incl. growth, ophthalmologic, and neurologic
– Laboratory tests – chem, UA, hematol, lipids, biomarkers (chitotriosidase, SMN)
– Evaluations – liver/spleen MRI, chest X-ray/HRCT, and echo/ECG
– Functional status – 6MWT, cycle ergometry, pulmonary function tests

Spleen Volume Correlated with Several Aspects of Disease Severity

Type B Niemann-Pick Natural History Study: Summary• Study provided important new information about the spectrum of
disease manifestations
• Diversity of the patient populations from various countries was identified (e.g., pulmonary involvement in Saudi Arabia patients whereas a high neurological prevalence in European patients)
• 6 patient deaths (10%)during follow-up, most in adolescence to mid-adulthood
• Spleen volume was correlated with disease severity – a surrogate clinical marker for the Phase 2 study
• Chitotriosidase (biomarker; a marker of activated macrophases) may play a role in monitoring patient treatment responses

Niemann-Pick B DiseaseBoth cross-sectional survey and natural history information were useful• Cross-sectional data
– Immediate establishment of proportional relationships between biomarkers and severity
– No information on longitudinal stability, or change over time
• Natural history data– Collected 12 years of follow-up– Supported cross sectional data

Clinical Data to Support QualificationDevelopment of data from no-drug studies can help• Natural history and survey studies can provide needed
support for biomarkers/endpoints– Relationship to onset/severity/progression– Establish rate of change/slope of decline
• Cross-Sectional studies are easier to conduct– Less time & lower cost; can provide good info
• Natural history with sufficient observations– More information in individual variation– More precise estimate of decline
