Products in Development by Therapeutic Area Source – BioPharmInsight.com, 2007

Pharma & Device Industry Challenges Trend Driver Cost per patient Treatment naïve patients Cost per trial Cost per investigator Qualified investigators Cost of clinical development Complexity of protocols Number of procedures, and type of inclusion/ exclusion criteria Infrastructure cost Number and size of trials Regulatory requirements Global trend for higher costs, more patients and experienced clinical investigators! Source McKinsey 2004

Why Conduct Global Clinical Trials? Access to treatment naïve patients, or patients who have only been treated with older medications Emergent disease populations, e.g., Type II diabetes, treatment resistant infections such as HIV, tuberculosis, hepatitis B & C, and various forms of cancer, and cardiovascular disease Cost and time benefits: Faster patient recruitment and lower cost base Since 1990, global clinical research has grown from 28 to 79 countries and the amount of FDA regulated research has increased 16-fold ICH E5 regulations allow the use of foreign data in new drug submissions PharmafocusAsia, 2005

Drivers of Country Selection Medical practice Regulatory process Commercial and post-marketing value Cost of the trial Disease demographics Speed of enrollment Quality, quality, quality Quality is the key driver: If a country cannot deliver quality, all other benefits are irrelevant

Latin America: Opportunities and Challenges The seven main Latin American markets add up to 448 million people with a GDP of US $2.5 trillion in 2006. Highly concentrated: 70% urban / mega-cities Only two main languages Counter-season enrollment in Southern Hemisphere Led by Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, they are expected to represent a market value of US $52 billion at retail prices by 2011. Sources: Espicom / PWC

Latin America: Opportunities and Challenges Between 1995 & 2000, the number of clinical trials executed in the region rose by a factor of ten. High quality of medical practice and experienced clinical investigators Growing clinical trails sector Development of dedicated CT sites, ERBs, SMOs Expansion of CROs and Pharma clinical operations Availability of GCP/CRA/SC training Courses Support services: central labs, CTM logistics, QA consultants Challenges Regulatory agencies are “stretched” due to lack of resources to meet the clinical trial demand Longer regulatory start-up in some countries (e.g., Brazil) Evolving regulatory environment Some agencies are recognizing the need to adapt their regulations harmonization initiatives, which could enhance the attractiveness of the region Sources: Espicom / PWC

Case Study: Study No 2: Phase II/III study Type 2 Diabetes-1 protocol Merck – Project Manager - Melissa Atrip Time lines were extended but ICON finished the project within that timeline (or earlier) and met all other clients expectations. The reason for extended timeline was because Merck team had never outsourced a study before so they were reluctant to ‘let go’ until we won their trust. Merck subsequently outsourced 2 other studies to us utilizing the same ICON team.

IVR in Clinical Trials & the impact of technology on CR Malcolm Burgess Chief Operating Officer, U.S. Operations ICON Clinical Research

Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Utilizes telephone to collect data IVR/IWR Defined Interactive Voice Response (IVR) Interactive Web Response (IWR) Utilizes telephone to collect data Mobile or landline Technology used in many different industries Banking, IT support, etc IVR usage in Clinical trials Been around for 25 years IWR more recently adopted Modern IVR systems integrated with IWR Allows users to select interface that works best for them

IVR/IWR in Clinical Trials Low cost solution for simple data entry Enrollment and Randomization Prevents over recruitment Can also be used to recruit patients Dispensing pharmaceuticals drugs according to need or type of clinical trial Used to record complete clinical trial data about the recruitment of subjects Can be integrated with other tools to manage the clinical study data (CTMS, EDC, etc) Maintain a record of drug accountability Dispensed, used, returned, etc Patient Reported Outcomes Improves Quality and Integrity of data

Patient Report Outcomes IVR/IWR Cost Saving Advantages Enrollment Reduced costs due to over-enrollment of patients Randomization Supports complex randomization and Adaptive trials Drug Management Reduce costs of drug due to less waste Patient Report Outcomes Improve quality and integrity of the data collected

IVR can be used for Electronic Patient Report Outcomes (ePRO) FDA mandates and guidance will drive the number trials requiring ePRO up significantly None of the implementation costs associated with handheld ePRO solution PRO can be submitted using the IVR or IWR concurrently Low cost, Global, Multilingual solution

Current IVR project portfolio ICON IVR Metrics Current IVR project portfolio 325 active IVR projects >650 projects launched since inception in March 2000 Growth since 2006 90% increase in per study revenue 105% increase in total awards Staff 235 global staff 35 staff in Chennai providing back end support

ICON Global Reach “200+ ICOPhone dedicated staff worldwide" Dublin Marlow Chicago Philadelphia Houston Raleigh Chennai “200+ ICOPhone dedicated staff worldwide"

ICON solution (ICOPhone) has been in place for 8 years ICON Advantage ICON solution (ICOPhone) has been in place for 8 years Utilized in over 650 clinical trials Integrates with all major CTMS and EDC platforms Combines IVR and IWR in a seamless package All data is available real-time for decision making New technology release EDGE Reduce timelines for setup by 50%

So where is the technology taking us …… Changing the paradigm of Clinical Research Site Monitors more focused on … Site Management Representing the client rather than monitoring the data Data Flow accelerated Direct data collection from site/patient (eg EDC, ePRO) On-line (instead of on-site) data review Majority of query & study management done remotely Real time data access and decisions (adaptive designs) Reduced classical Data Management No data entry, minimal manual queries – reduced workload More focus on holistic ‘clinical management’ of the study More focus on technology, less of a commodity But slowly – many still think in the paper paradigm

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS & DEFINITION

Staffing Industry Definition The staffing industry can be broadly defined as a collection of business that provides organisations and individuals with a range of employment related services. The industry has evolved from what was once very discreet types of businesses, for example temporary hire, retained search, permanent placement, contract project staffing and professional employer organizations (PEO) into one industry with many sectors with the lines of demarcation blurring as the industry develops further.
