10.05 It’s not just the biology, you have to be able to develop it too – how to select the optimal therapeutic antibody candidate
• The crucial step in successful development of biologics is the selection of the right molecules early on. This selection is a multifunctional scientifi c exercise requiring a focused and integrated team operating across the R / D interface.
• Thus, thorough characterization of a variety of properties of therapeutic antibody candidates is a prerequisite for selecting the best antibody for further development into a viable drug.

alternative scaffolds / multispecifi cs• Understanding why companies are pursuing novel scaffolds instead of mAbs
despite the risks

10.55 Morning coffee in the exhibition area
11.35 Protein optimization: balancing pharmaceutical and pharmacological properties
Dr Uma Kuchibhotla, Chief Scientifi c Offi cer, Biotherapeutics Lead Optimization, Eli Lilly
12.00 Questions & discussion
12.05 Managing costs during drug development - a CMC perspective• Development of a new molecular entity is still characterized by relevant attrition
along the different development phases the majority of which is linked to lack of expected effi cacy and / or required safety
• As supply of appropriate investigative drug product is prerequisite to clinical studies, signifi cant investment in technical development and clinical manufacturing is often required prior to availability of relevant clinical data
• With increasing cost pressure in R&D the ability to manage technical R&D costs in the face of uncertainties of drug development are of increasing interest, particularly for biologics and monoclonal antibodies
• These possibilities include postponement of technical activities, selecting optimal scale for clinical manufacturing, establishment of standard platform, or technical solutions such as automation or use of single use equipment

2.45 Presentations and panel discussion• How to mine the genome to fi nd different classes of antibody and natural

go after?• How do you measure target engagement and biological effect in inaccessible
organs like the brain?• Are intracellular targets just too diffi cult?• Novel ways to think about target discovery• Serendipity / empirical methods have created all the value so far – are we now
being overly rational in our approach to innovation?
