6 © Avalere Health LLC Page 6 Global versus Regional Considerations for the Development of any Medicinal Product GLOBAL REGIONAL/NATIONAL ACCESS Patients are everywhere (albeit Dx and healthcare infrastructure vary) IP varies, and getting a little better harmonized, but barely (certain global free-trade norms are emerging but limited) Healthcare systems vary (affects reimbursements and ROI, primary & secondary markets) Companies develop and manufacture for the leading markets, ideally global standards (inconsistent requirements lead to requirements for different products) Regulations are regional with some harmonization for drugs, and innovator biologics (cost of getting to market less if can use a single data set) SCIENCE Essentially global Some variation in patients Patient access is determined by regulatory approval, market viability by purchase/reimbursement system AVAILABILITY = APPROVAL & REAL COMPETITION ON PRICE

7 © Avalere Health LLC Page 7 The Standard Model of Drug Development Obsolescence Innovative drugs offer:  Improved treatment  Less side effects  New therapeutic options and thereby replace older and/less effective medications Net Progress Radical New Therapies and Iterative Improvements Generics offer:  High quality drugs for established treatments  Affordable costs and thereby free up healthcare funds for new innovative drugs Patents Expire

10 © Avalere Health LLC Page 10 The intersection of business strategy and public policy Overview of the Players and their Roles

11 © Avalere Health LLC Page 11 Ultimate Driver is an Identified Patient Need  Unmet medical need: »Debilitating or fatal; temporary or lifelong »Diagnosed routinely by physicians – may need specific associated diagnostics, and specialist support  Affected population of sufficient size to support the development of a commercial product (average cost of development $1.4 billion per product)  Viable payment model needs covered populations: »Government programs such as Medicare/Medicaid »Privately Insured patients, largely still through employers »Uninsured patients often have more limited access, but some medicines have PAP programs

12 © Avalere Health LLC Page 12 Source of Candidate Medicines – this step is highly technology and research dependent  The fundamental scientific research enterprise received significant Federal funding: »Academia – universities and researchers in every state »National labs, such as NIH, NAS, CDC, FDA  Industry – pharma, biotech and related innovative industries such as computation, modeling support ongoing research through ROI  Disciplines are basic research, as well as epidemiology, statistics, clinical/regulatory science, and manufacturing All contribute to the global scientific literature and the basic understanding of disease, and this generates the candidate drug target and drugs for further development as therapeutic interventions/cures

13 © Avalere Health LLC Page 13 Creation of Candidate Medicines  The ideas for a drug target/medicine must be taken, developed into a candidate that can be tested for safety and efficacy in animals, then man, and converted into a product.  This can be initiated in academia, developed in science parks and facilitated small business environments, but ultimately manufacturing requires major biopharma industry support (sponsorship and investment, or acquisition)  All sorts of relationships occur between stakeholders: »Licensing of patents, products for small or all indications between individuals, academia, biotechs, pharma »Deals limited to US and specific ex-US markets (with different licenses to different sponsors), some with specific milestone payments »Investments by angels, VCs, or outright purchase of the asset »Patient groups funding specific research targeted at their disease VC: Venture Capitals

16 © Avalere Health LLC Page 16 FDA’s Evolving Policy Role Will Affect Market Access for Medical Technologies, Necessitating Strategic Refinement Quality Measurement Reimbursement Value Proposition Market Access Strategy Novel FDA Policy Initiatives  CMS/FDA parallel review  Investment in CER infrastructure  Post-market data collection & surveillance  Evidence standards harmonization  Regulation of communication FDA Regulatory Strategy  Pre-clinical/clinical trial design  Regulatory applications  Evidence submission and evaluation

17 © Avalere Health LLC Page 17 FDA’s Approval Process  FDA governs market access and product promotion »An FDA approval/license is necessary but not sufficient for product viability »Indications can be added to currently marketed products after the initial approval – expands potential market, but requires FDA review of additional data and negotiation for any label changes »Issues of off-label use, expanded access (formerly called compassionate use), progressive approval will be discussed later. All can impact date of approval and time patients can access medication »Post approval, brand/innovator/originator products gain sales through marketing. Generics, approved when patents/exclusivity has expired gain market share through competition on price.

18 © Avalere Health LLC Page 18 US Regulatory Pathways Statute New Drug Application (NDA) - 505(b)(1) and 505(b)(2) Devices: Pre-Market Authorization (PMA), 510ks U.S. Food Drug & Cosmetic Act Abbreviated NDA (505(j) or ANDA) U.S Public Health Service Act Biologic License Application (BLA) 351(a) Pathway BIOSIMILAR 351(k) (Can Be Interchangeable)

19 © Avalere Health LLC Page 19 New drugs may undergo an expedited review* process  Drugs classified as a real advance over available treatments undergo a 6 month “priority review” instead of the 10 month “standard review”  Drugs that treat a range of serious diseases and fill an unmet need may request and receive a “fast track” designation at any point during drug development  Fast track drugs are eligible for accelerated approval or rolling review  Accelerated approval uses findings that are likely to predict clinical benefit rather than direct measurements & results  Rolling review allows companies to submit completed NDA sections individually rather than the entire application all at once, allowing earlier resolution to potential problems Some Medicines Get Priority at FDA *Accelerates review but does not guarantee approval

25 © Avalere Health LLC Page 25 Generic Drugs Took a While to Take Off After the Enactment of Hatch Waxman in 1984, But Now Market Penetration is Rapid But by 2008, generics accounted for 14/15 most commonly prescribed meds, and 13/15 of those most commonly used by Medicare Part D beneficiaries (seniors pharmacy benefits) http://www.phrma.org/sites/default/files/159/phrma_chart_pack.pdf Source: PhRMA

26 © Avalere Health LLC Page 26 Generic Small Molecule Drugs have Created Savings When Patents Expire  Generic medicines account for 69% of all prescriptions dispensed in the United States, and only 16% of all dollars spent on prescriptions. (source: IMS Health)  Brand sales of $228 billion compared to Generic sales of $58.5 billion (2007), and have saved consumers and the American health care system $931 billion over the last 10 years.  In 2010, generics saved $158 billion — a savings of more than $3 billion every week.  10,072 of the 12,751 drugs listed in the FDA's Orange Book have generic counterparts (source: FDA, MedAd News).FDA's Orange Book Source include http://www.gphaonline.org/about-gpha/about-generics/facts Similar hopes and expectations are being applied to biologics, which, through the chance of history, did not have an explicit regulatory pathway in the US until 23 March 2010

27 © Avalere Health LLC Page 27 Will Biosimilars Be the New Generics in the US Market?  Congress included Title VII, Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (BPCIA)* in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act because of the expectations for savings, as well as the hope for expanded access. »Using the new 351(k) pathway, applications can be for biosimilars and also for interchangeable biosimilars  Legislation was enacted 23Mar2010, and the new biosimilars pathway was available the day of enactment  While FDA has held ~21 PreIND meetings (~35 meeting requests for 11 reference products) there have as yet been no applications filed for biosimilars in the US  Draft guidances were published mid-Feb12, another FDA Public Meeting 11May12, transparent and on-going discussions; user fees negotiated and proposed (BsUFA) in parallel  Payors/ reimbursers are waiting… * Source FDA: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/UCM216146.pdf

28 © Avalere Health LLC Page 28 Medical Devices Are Classified into One of Three Classes According to Level of Risk  Class l devices are subject to the least regulatory control »Examples include elastic bandages, examination gloves, hand-held surgical instruments  Class II devices are those for which general controls alone are insufficient to ensure their safety and effectiveness »Examples include powered wheelchairs, infusion pumps, surgical drapes  Class III devices are life-sustaining, life-supporting, and implantable devices, or new devices not substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices, that must receive premarket approval to ensure safety and effectiveness »Examples include heart valve replacements, implanted cerebellar stimulators, breast implants Intended use of a device is a significant factor in determining its classification

29 © Avalere Health LLC Page 29 Most Devices Are Regulated by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) PMA 510 (K) Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER)  Blood collection devices *Until 1976, Congress had never enacted specific legislation governing the regulation of medical devices. The 1976 Medical Device Amendments (Pub.L.No. 94-295, 90 Stat. 539), vastly expanded FDA’s statutory authority over devices, creating a comprehensive regulatory scheme. Medical devices available on the market before May 28, 1976, “preamendment devices”, were permitted to remain on the market, pending FDA classification, without any FDA review. Prior to this, FDA’s authority to regulate medical devices was limited to action against adulterated or misbranded devices.  Premarket notification  Substantially equivalent to an existing, predicate device  Premarket approval application Device regulation includes more specific requirements for individual classes of products than drug regulations; as a result, it may appear more fragmented and confusing
