  7. HIV Prevention in the Summer of 2012 2012 June, 2010 July, 2011 Chinese Proverb/Curse: May You Live in Interesting Times! DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  8. Evolution Charles Darwin  “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” Charles Sanders Peirce (Father of Pragmatism) “All the evolution we know of proceeds from the vague to the definite.” The objective of the prevention pipeline must be to evolve a candidate to the safest, most effective and acceptable prevention strategy DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  9. Evolution of the Prevention Pipeline • For pipelines the forces of evolution are also controlled by the realities of the down-selection process inherent in identifying and advancing lead candidates: • Dollars versus doability--What can be accomplished with budgets and makes sense to undertake • Complex preclinical, clinical and regulatory requirements • Need for Sustainability—continually deliver new and improved prevention strategies DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  10. Dollars versus Doability: Opposing Forces 1 or 2 100 To 1,000,000 Number of Compounds I II III Preclinical Studies (Critical Path) Preclinical Virology Implementation Clinical Studies Discovery $.01 to $1.00 Cost of Development Per Compound $ millions DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  11. Complex Requirements R&D Supply Marketing Distribution In vitro Validation Virology Pharmacology Toxicology Clinical Testing Clinical Testing Phase IV Studies OTC Product Consumer In Vivo Validation Preclinical Studies SAFETY EFFICACY Pre formulation + formulation Implementation Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls (CMC) Determined by the properties of the inhibitor and delivery system Federal, State and Local regulations may apply to specific activities State, Federal and Local Regulations Consumer preferences and needs • Code of Federal regulation (CFR) for GLP and GMP are primary determinates • FDA requirements • Virology • Toxicology • CMC Drug Developer Concerns • Meet a desired outcome • Potential for advancement • Cost of product • Ease of synthesis • Marketing outlook • Long term safety • Profit and loss • Next generation products DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  28. In Development 2015-2020 (Select small molecule inhibitors) DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  29. The Protein Microbicides –An Emerging Class DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  30. ON THE HORIZON OR AT THE FAR EDGE OF KNOWN SPACE • Bioengineered microbicides • Endogenous (vaginal, GI tract) bacteria expressing protein microbicides • Immunomodulation as a prevention strategy • TLR and other pattern recognition receptor inhibitors and antagonists • AbasicPhosphorothiolate 2’ Deoxyribose 14-mer (PDB) • Antiviral and Anti-inflammatory (Peter Katsikis, Drexel Univ.) • Genetic microbicides • siRNAs (multiple investigators) • Adenovirus vector delivered microbicides • (Wayne Marasco, Harvard Medical School) DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  31. Live Bacteria Delivery Systems Recent advances in Lactobacillus delivered microbicides Lagenaur et al. Mucosal Immunol. 2011 4:648 Lactobacillus bioengineered to express the HIV entry inhibitor Cyanovirin-N (CV-N) protect 4 of 12 monkeys and reduce viral load in infected Li et al. J. Acquir. Immune Defic. Syndr. 2011 58:379 Bioactive CV-N was detected in rectal secretions after feeding monkeys with bioengineered Lactobacilli in yogurt • RemainingIssues • Immunotoxicity: Unknown in Humans if there will be immune responses to prevention protein in the bioengineered bacteria and/or loss of tolerance to endogenous bacteria • Colonization: Will bioengineered bacteria stably colonize without some environmental advantage, e.g. antibiotic pre-treatment • Regulatory Requirements: Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) • Human Trials: Unique trial designs will be needed to assure environment control and removal of GMO and restoration of normal microbiomein subjects DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  32. Our Question: Do we currently have what it takes to create a sustainable prevention pipeline? • We have delivery systems • We have the candidates DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  33. The Answer Do we currently have what it takes to create a sustainable prevention pipeline? • YES—we have the necessary depth and numbers of delivery systems and prevention drug candidates to create a sustainable prevention pipeline DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  34. But a Sustainable Pipeline is Not a Slam Dunk Some Additional Challenges • What criteria(s) must the delivery system and candidate meet (down-selection) to advance to clinical testing? • Delivery formats (Gel, Film, Ring, Tablet, Injectable, Oral ) • Candidates • Do any of our options hold the key to global acceptability/adherence or will we need a range of delivery systems to satisfy needs and how will we manage this? • With devices now allowing combinations of biophysically diverse compounds, how do we manage the potential proliferation of combination strategies? • Roll-out and beyond challenges—How do we • Maintainsupplies of drugand vehicles? • Manage the ecological and biological impact of non-biodegradable delivery devices that may contain residual drug ? DAIDS/PSP/PMPRB

  35. Final Thoughts and Take Home Messages One of our greatest prevention challenges in the next decade will not be that we lack options, but prioritizing to advance the best prevention options The prevention field is positioned to not only optimally deliver prevention strategies, but to also provide a range of delivery choices to men and women The prevention pipeline is not static and limited to only “here and now candidates”, the door is open and the infrastructure is there for continued evolution of HIV prevention strategies.
