Biomarker data-driven decisions
Target engagement? Effect on disease?
yes yes !
no no
• No need to test current
drug in large clinical trial
• Need to identify a more
potent drug
• Concept may still be
correct
• Concept was not correct
• Abandon approach
• Proof-of-Concept
• Proceed to full
clinical
development
“Stop early, stop cheap”
“More shots on goal”

• Success rates of clinical proof-of-concept have dropped from 28% to 18% • Insufficient efficacy as the most frequent reason • Targeted therapy through Personalized Medicine may be the solution

Tumor tissue/biomarker heterogeneity
• BRAFV600D/E is driving mutation
• However, also no BRAFV600D/E mutation found in regions of primary melanomas
• Molecular heterogeneity in diseased tissue
• Biomarker levels in tissue vary
• Biomarker levels in body fluids will vary
• Major challenge for (companion) diagnostics

A sure need for systems medicine • Multiple interactions and
flexibilities in human
system
(tissues, cells, proteins)
• Blocking one pathway will
shift equilibrium and create
new problems
• System medicine approach
needed for maximal effect
• High value of biomarkers
but how to translate to
combination therapy?
• Pharma-Nutrition?

Translating knowledge to field labs
1. Implementation-plan ‘Personalized diagnosis of (pre)diabetic and their lifestyle treatment in Dutch Health care’.
2. Use of Oral Glucose Tolerance Test as a stratification biomarker for (pre)diabetic patients
3. Advice a tailored treatment (lifestyle and/or medical)
4. Monitor added value of stratification
5. Communicate results and lessons learned

Personalized Healthcare in a systems view

A changing world: Personalized Medicine@ USA
“The term "personalized medicine" is often described as providing "the right patient with
the right drug at the right dose at the right time."
More broadly, "personalized medicine" may be thought of as
the tailoring of medical treatment to the individual characteristics,
needs, and preferences of a patient during all stages of care, including prevention, diagnosis,
treatment, and follow-up.”

• Outcome 2: Dietary intervention as succesful personalized therapy
• Outcome 3: Glycoprofile transferrin developed and applied as diagnostic test
• Genetic defect in glycosylation enzyme (PGM1) identified via exome sequencing

Need to change development process for Personalized Healthcare therapies
• Randomized Clinical Trials won’t be good enough (= groups)
• n=1 clinical trial designs needed whereby:
• Multiple monitoring in same person
• Use different types of biodata (molecular, non-molecular)
• Normalize data per individual
• Combine separate data through meta-analysis
• Output:
• Responders vs non-responders
• Tight data per subgroup
• Clear conclusions on therapy

Reasons for biomarker innovation gap
• Not one integrated pipeline of biomarker R&D
• Publication pressure towards high impact papers
• Lack of interest and funding for confirmatory biomarker studies
• Hard to organize multi-lab studies
• Biology is complex on organism level
• Data cannot be reproduced
• Bias towards extreme results
• Biomarker variability
