Java Clinical Research at the Research and Innovation Conference
1. Helping drug development with better
data in early phase clinical trials
Java Clinical Research
Research & Innovation
Conference
3rd March 2016
2. Who we are
Java Clinical Research
• Clinical Research Organisation since 1999.
• A team of expert clinical research professionals
• Manage Clinical Trials in the Pharmaceutical
Industry
• Deal with regulatory frameworks in multiple
jurisdictions (EU, US, UK)
• Develop and implement customised
pharmacodynamic assays for clinical research
2
3. Better data in early phase
clinical trials
• Use modern technologies in clinical
trials
• Focussed, customised assays to measure
drug-specific endpoints
• Open, broad assays for biomarker
discovery
• Develop, streamline & validate
methods to industry standards
• Full documentation, implementation,
training and support
• Enable better decisions at critical
phase I and phase II.

4. Case study: Clinical proof
of concept in phase I study
• Novel drug that has innovative characteristics
• Startup needed to demonstrate USPs of drug early in clinical
development
• Java developed 3 customised assays for use in phase I
• Delivered vital data for client:
– detailed data on drug USP throughout phase I
– close monitoring of ‘first in human’ study
• Startup sold to top 10 Pharma
5. Case study: Clinical proof
of concept - how we did it
• Agility
– Rapid development of customised bioassays
• Capability
– Put in place processes to implement
complex assay measuring drug target
– Developed novel sampling assay from scratch
to target drug site of action
– Researched & tailored established assay
to measure specific markers
• Partnership
– Clinical trial sites
– Other vendors
6. Case study 2: Platelet
function testing
• Brief
– IC50 and drug interaction data
• Activity
– Assay testing 48 conditions developed
– Procedure validation
– Recruited and tested n=30 healthy
volunteers
• Results
– Comprehensive data on 3 drug candidates
– Study report compiled to support FDA
submission
7. Research & Innovation
Platelet proteomic assay
dense granule
– ADP & 5-HT
a granule
– proteins
• Proteomics measures 1000s of
biomarkers - unbiased
• Platelets critical for targeted drug effects
and off-target side-effects
• Java has developed
– standard methods for sampling and analysis
– Computational techniques for analysis
– Applied the technology in diagnostics,
personalised medicine and clinical trial
analysis
• Supported by Enterprise Ireland and
Irish Research Council
8. Effects of antiplatelet drugs, alone and in combination
Research & Innovation
Platelet proteomics
Applications
10. Research & Innovation

Applications
Subtle effects of other
drugs during and after
treatment in phase I

James McRedmond – Chief Scientific Officer
• Java Clinical Research develops custom assays to tell you more
about your drug
– specific, focussed assays to prove your drug is working as expected
– broad, open assays to find biomarkers, pathways or other effects you should
be aware of
Example of how we delivered more and better data for a client
typical for startups that they are limited by budget – with us, do more in a single trial
close monitoring of drug effects in 1st in human with customised lab processes - topical
agility – small company, Quick results for safety/dosing of cohorts
capability – CRO, scientific know-how, experience. 3 different types of capability – method/reg; de novo; mostly office research
partnership – typical in industry to work with others, we do routinely, and also if for lab services we don’t know, we know someone who can, & have a can-do attitude+ here joint bid defense
Doing R&D to improve and expand our service offering in lab
NB EM is an innovative process we developed & implemented in phase I
platelets – target of drugs to prevent heart attacks, also potential side effects
can do proteomics in other cells also
Replicate measurements – quantify hundreds of proteins
Patterns of expression – effects of drugs, and combinations
In clinical trials, effects pre-, mid-, and post- treatment. Coming soon – patient differences. Could be useful in trials
