Bioventure in USA

In Stanford/Silicon Valley, BT revolution followed IT revolution. In 50s, Syntex emerged with steroid chemistry and in 60s, ALZA emerged with DDS. In 70s, Genentec, Amgen, Cetus, Chiron, DNAX etc started by employing rDNAtechnology. As a result, novel Biotech Drugs (GFs, Insulin, EPO, G-CSF etc) were developed, and this new industry created ecosystem of ventures such as reagent services (Affymetrix), gene libraries (Clonetec), analytical tools (ABI). On the other hands, pharmaceutical companies based on chemistry were located in east coast (New Jersey).

In Silicon Valley of 80s, positive cycle of High-risk High return worked well; i.e. investment on innovation to create new value and recover the investment for next cycle

After Meiji Era of late 19th century, Japan achieved high economic growth building strong knowledge base, armed with high technology, well trained human resource and relatively inexpensive labor cost. In BT area, organic chemistry based pharma and food industry had been developed, however bioventuresystem was not developed even in 1980s although high quality life science research based on molecular biology and rDNA technology was strong.

Role of Drug Discovery Ventures in Pharma Industry

R&D expenditure and number of new product approvals by FDA of bioventure and major

pharmas in U.S.A

Decreasing: by big pharma co’s

Increasing: by venture companies

Number of bio-products by category of originator

Source:Pharmaproject (2007.2)

Page 24: Building East Asia Life Science and Biotechnology Network ...€¦ · Building East Asia Life Science and Biotechnology Network of Japan, ... biology and rDNA technology was strong

Drug Discovery Ventures: Cash Flow and Difficulties

Milestone revenues

Million Yen

Funding development cost from POC to milestone contract stage is difficult

Clinical trials starts

Partnering with big pharmas is required for IPO. Listing at early stage is impossible. Capital-raising amount is small due to low market cap level at IPO.

Japanese venture capital firms can supply capital only for search and R&D phases. Funding for clinical development stage is difficult.

(R&D infrastructure) Clinical testing is expensive and takes time. Capability of CRO is lagging.

• Predictive: – Probabilistic health history--DNA sequence– Biannual multi-parameter blood protein measurements

• Personalized: – Unique individual human genetic variation mandates individual

treatment– Billions of data points on each individual patients

• Preventive: – Design of therapeutic and preventive drugs via systems

approaches– Targeted vaccines will be a critical preventive for infectious

diseases– Focus on wellness

• Participatory: – Patient understands and participates in medical choices

Development of New Bio-Pharma in East Asia

Creation of an “Open Innovation Platform”

1) Introduction of drug seeds from Asia2) To conduct clinical trials from start to POC stage3) To encourage collaboration of pharma & bioventure4) To attract bioventures of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Asia5) To prepare Exit Strategy to attract bioventures

・Open “Venture Business Authorization System” for foreign company currently limited to domestic one.・Allow listing overseas companies with operating deficits.This will create an Open Innovation Platform inviting foreign ventures and government support for Venture Capital Funds will encourage investment to innovative biotech ventures.
