Data driven evaluation of healthy volunteer characteristics at screening for phase I clinical trials to inform on study design and optimize screening processes

Abstract Protocols for clinical trials describe inclusion and exclusion criteria based on general and compound‐specific considerations to ensure subject safety and data quality. In phase I clinical trials, healthy volunteers (HVs) are screened against these criteria that often specify predefined eli...

In phase I clinical trials, healthy volunteers (HVs) are screened against these criteria that often specify predefined eligibility ranges for vital signs, electrocardiogram, and laboratory tests.

Data from 3365 HVs participating in 9670 screening visits for 94 phase I HV trials, conducted between December 2008 and May 2019 at the Janssen Clinical Pharmacology Unit, were retrospectively analyzed.

High predicted SFRs are related to cardiovascular/metabolic (body mass index, heart rate [HR], blood pressure [BP], and corrected QT Fridericia’s formula [QTcF]), renal (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR]), liver (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], and total bilirubin), and coagulation (prothrombin time [PT]) parameters. Predicted SFRs increased with age for high systolic and diastolic BP, QTcF interval, and eGFR. In contrast, lower SFRs in the older age groups were seen for low diastolic BP, liver function test, ALT, PT, and total bilirubin.
