REDUCED-HARM
Goals - Organization - Process - Focus
SCoR Commercialization Team Meeting
February 9, 2001
The presentation provides information about the
current goals for harm reduction, the organization of
WSA, the general process for making claims, and some
of the current project areas in WSA to bring PM closer
to making this happen.

Dose Response (Toxicity) Assessment
Review of the literature and experimental data to derive the
amount of reduction in a particular smoke constituent
that would result in a decrease in biological activity.
In the absence of such an analysis, our current
recommendation is to achieve reductions of 90% or
greater.

chemistry which consists of about 50 compounds found in
smoke that have be identified by IARC and or the
Consumer Products Safety Commission as probable or

Human studies - the amount someone gets, how often, how
long and how they are exposed (route). We are planning
two types of studiespopulation and switching studies.

Let me end with the overhead on the timeline for SCoR

These are the steps in the typical risk assessment scheme.
It is reasonable to think of the approach to harm reduction in these terms.
Hazard identification is the finding of targets to address. In terms of disease
categories they are: lung cancer, CVD, and COPD. This can also go beyond
that to the identification of targets for reduction in chemistry and in biological
tests. This step is conducted by all of WSA.
Toxicity Assessment is more commonly known as dose-response assessment.
This is the stage where we say how large of a reduction would be meaningful.
This step is conducted by all of WSA.
Exposure assessment is how much to people take in. This means doing human
studies. This step is principally conducted by the human studies group.
Risk Characterization is putting it all together. This step is conducted
principally by Product Assessment.

Hazard Identification
Provide recommendations in order to result in reduced-harm
associated with major smoking-related diseases.
smoke constituent(s) targets for reduction/removal
appropriate biological tests.
YA.a19GHMVwaWVtimAlmvV ~~~~H+~WN'.+~Y
This is the first step-in the Risk Assessment paradigm.
Hazard ID involves providing recommendations in order to
result in reduced harm associated with major smoking
related diseases. Specifically identifying smoke constituent
targets to reduce or remove and determine the appropriate
biological testing that should be done.
A major point is that we are making product changes with
the ultimate goal of affecting human health.

This is the version submitted to the IOM.
Overview of the process. Similar to FDA approach for
drugs where look at safety and efficacy, we are looking at
acceptability and reduced harm claims.
As always acceptability test and subjective testing and
adding additional work as part of claim and accessing
human exposure
EXAMPLE
Provisional Product Claim- May reduce exposure to CO
Product Claim - Reduced exposure to CO may decrease
risk of CVD
Confirmed Product - Claim reduced risk of CVD

NWI Y4Cwumniliutim We'q
Here is what a human study should look like. The study
design is a single crossover which means that the test
subject is switching from one product to another. There are
3 groups the test changes (switches cigarettes), the
reference group with stops smoking and the control which
continue to smoke their regular cigarettes as is normal for
them. Them group size is 20 - 50 adults smokers and the
duration of the study is 9 months for data collection and
additional time for analysis of the data and writing the final
report.
These test will be run under the strictest International
guidelines (ICH, FDA and Helsinki accords). I.e. above and
beyond what is normally required so that we can take the
data anywhere and use it -

Proposed Claims Substantiation Requirements
Manufacturing and quality controls in place to assure the
consistent production of a product upon which any claims are
based. During Production: Change control system(s) in place to
assure that:
- if changes are made to any claims; that there continues to be
valid supporting data and evidence to support such changes
- if changes are made in suppliers, supplier requirements,
production processes, or other manufacturing factors that such
changes will not undermine the claims.
Documentation:
- literature%itations used with regards to any claim.
- test methods to substantiate any claim.
- experimental and human studies upon which the claim is
based. Testing on final product design (marketable product).
Discussion with public health authorities and other appropriate
parties that the data and informaHon supporting any claim
constitute valid scientific evidence.
Yt0~9'dlCm:m3WUUmMay Fvquud.VUqauWy
Making a claim involves a cultural change for PM. In past
we have been able to make changes to our product rather
freely. That is not the case with claims. With a reduced
harm product we need to guarentee that all the products are
reduced harm and that it is maintained therefore we cannot
change it freely. Really talking about a change control
system
1 - Change control
2 - Also need the documentation for the product (not a
prototype)
3 - Discussions with public health authorities etc.

Determine biomarkers of exposure/effect in:
Step 1: adult test smokers after normal smoking of
their preferred brand style of conventional cigarette for
at least 6 months (TO).
Step 2: adult test smokers who switch to test
cigarette and continue to smoke same number of
cigarettes as before for 3 months ('9imited smoking")
(T1). The control and reference groups are also
tested at the same time points.
Step 3: switchers who continue to smoke test
cigarette without any restrictions for another 6 months
("normal smoking") (T2). Once again the control and
reference group are also sampled.

This overhead is included to give a feel for the time
required to complete the various testing. These are the
typical durations. They can be accelerated occasionally but
not every study can be conducted on a reduced timeline.
This include time for a gr- planning and post experiment
documentation. The real message here is to start
coordination with PA/PI EARLY.
Subchronic inhalation study (90 day) really takes closer to
2 years. It takes so long for these test because they are
done under GLP conditions to ensure worldwide
compliance and the acceptability of the data.

In our process, the human studies are represented (show
area). The first arrow leading to provisional product claims
involves looking at biomarkers of exposure (such as exhaled
CO, carboxyhemagoblin, metals in urine) and may take 1 - 3
years, the next arrow leading to product claims looks at
biomarkers of effect - here one is looking at markers that are
believed to be early indicators of disease and changes in
these markers directly corelate with disease state. The
diseases we are concentrating on are CVD, Lung Cancer,
and COPD. Also plan to save and store tissues for future
analysis. The idea is that as the science progresses , we will
have samples to test. The final arrow involves much longer
term studies. Here one is actually determining if there is a
decrease in the disease state. Therefore need to look at
effects in human population

Purpose: Estimate amounts of a substance to which
someone is exposed.
Measures the amounts of substances in the
body or other blomarkers.
Employs models of chemical behavior and
models of human behavior
Results: Determination of amount of the substance
Ingested, Inhaled, or absorbed per unit of time by the
exposed population.

Risk Characterization
Purpose: Combines the results of toxicity assessments and exposure assessments to estimate potential
risk.
Results: Allows estimates of risk under actual conditions of use for determinations of reduced-harm
products, product assessment and comparisons of products.

This overhead attempts to roll the risk assessment all
together. Toxicity assessment looks at how much is need to
do harm (done by PUINBIFO/CRC; the exposure
assessment looks at how much a person is exposed to (done
by_human studies) and the risk characterization attempts to
combine these (done by PA).
Example:
Assume there is a toxin that will kill you if you ingest a
teaspoon full. I can take that teaspoon full and put it in a
teaspoon or a cupof water or a bathtub full of water. The
toxicity will be the same but the amount you are actually
exposed to would be different because the likelihood of
ingesting the entire amount is different with the different
conditions. A risk characterization would look at this and
probably determine that your risk is high with the teaspoon
(because it would be pretty easy to get the toxic dose),
moderate with the cup (because you may not be able to
finish the cup) and low with the bathtub (because it is
unlikely that you would be able to ingest the entire tub.

Summarizes what I have been talking about. The Risk
Assessment involving ID, acceptability testing and human
studies PA is responsible for pulling the information
together. There is input from society and the public health
authorities and also looking at comparative risks. Green
area really represent managing and would include outside
groups to make claims and perhaps most importantly
coming up with a way to effectively comrnunicate
internally and externally. If we can not communicate
effectively then even the best work in the other areas may
prove meaningless. Beta has a communication team that is
looking at this and will hopefully lay the ground work for
this communication for all reduced harmproducts.

Manufacturing and quality controls in place to assure the
consistent production of a product upon which any claims are
based. During Production: Change control system(s) in place to
assure that:
- if changes are made to any claims; that there continues to be
valid supporting data and evidence to support such changes
- If changes are made in suppliers, supplier requirements,
production processes, or other manufacturing factors that such
changes will not undermine the claims.
Documentation:
- literature/citations used with regards to any claim.
- test methods to substantiate any claim.
- experimental and human studies upon'which the claim is
based. Testing on final product design (marketable product).
Discussion with public health authorities and other appropriate
parties that the data and information supporting any claim
constitute valid scientific evidence.
