Key Global Issue

BigPharma are losing exclusivity on their blockbuster products as they come off patent.

This leads to – fall in revenues, and – pressure from shareholders as shareholder

value falls

Key Global Issue – Example 1

World’s two biggest selling drugs both off-patent by end of 2012– Lipitor: $13b annual sales– Plavix: $6b annual sales

In total, more than $90b of annual “blockbuster” sales as of January 2008 will be off-patent by the end of 2012

Consequence: massive cuts are demanded, hitting R&D Groups.

Key Global Issue – Example 2

January 2010

AstraZeneca & GlaxoSmithKline announce:– combined 27,000 job cuts (nearly 20% of

workforce), largely from R&D– plant closures– reduction in areas of therapeutic focus– future pipeline development driven by external

acquisition/partnering of IP (opportunity)

Opportunity

As BigPharma embraces Open Innovation it puts aside its traditional “only-invented-here” attitude.

Small/medium pharma-biotechs have opportunity to put themselves in front of BigPharma and highlight innovative IP.

Global Market & your IP

Where does your IP fit into the Global Marketplace?

Is your IP potential strong when compared to BigPharma’s key areas of interest?

As BigPharma is risk averse then position your proposal to best match their needs,

otherwise….

Is BigPharma correct for you?

If your IP does not match BigPharma’s needs, or your partner is looking to In-License only at PIIb+ then consider Specialty Pharma instead– Reactive– Committed– Consequence– Proportional

Understand your Partner

Shareholder needs (public/private) – are they risk averse?

What in your USPs will excite them?

Look at their pipelines

Talk to their scouts as soon as possible

Bring them solutions, not just pure science

What Partnership is best for you?

Be open-minded – the market is fluid and so must you.

Licensing (losing popularity) – be prepared to battle for significant up-fronts & milestones.

CRADAs (gaining popularity)– gets BigPharma in early (but not necessarily

committed)– correct data generated
