Current Regenerative Medicine Application in Development • Tissue engineered autologous bladder
How long does it take for an idea to turninto a therapy for a patient? • 1 – 5 years • 5 - 10 years • 10 -15 years • 15+ years
Basic Research Pre-Clinical Research Clinical Research Product Launch 1 – 20+ Years 1 – 3+ Years 5 – 15+ Years Typically where Baxter initially gets involved Most Drugs and Stem Cell Therapies will take 10-15 years to develop There must also be a market for your therapy
Time Success Rate Now let’s add in chance of success Basic Research Pre-Clinical Research Clinical Research Product Launch 1 – 20+ Years 1 – 3+ Years 5 – 15+ Years 1 out of 1000+ 1 out of 100+ 1 out of 10 A typical drug costs $800 Million to develop
Demonstration of Safety and Efficacy Why does it take so long and cost so much? • Initial research focused on finding compounds that have the potential to work • Animal research is then conducted • Clinical research is conducted in sequential stages- Phase 1- Phase 2- Phase 3 • Product is then launched into the marketplace Regulatory agencies are involved – FDA in US, EMEA in Europe and PMDA in Japan
A Business Model must also be created from the start of development • What is the unmet medical need?- target patient population • What is the scientific rationale that suggests a stem cell therapy will meet this need?- pre-clinical and clinical data • What is the viable business model? A viable business model must be in place for a company to pursue development
Business Model Elements • Freedom to Operate • Financials • - Funding • - Operations • Partnerships • Product Portfolio • Manufacturing • Clinical Plan • Pricing • Reimbursement • Strategic Plan • Geographic Scope • Marketing Plan • Competitive Environment • Distribution Many skillsets are required to form this plan, a science background is always beneficial.
Time Business Model Viability Critical to Product Launch Basic Research Pre-Clinical Research Clinical Research Product Launch 1 – 20+ Years 1 – 3+ Years 5 – 15+ Years Technical Success 1 out of 1000+ 1 out of 1000+ 1 out of 10 Rate It takes good science, time, dollars and luck to launch!
Summary • Regenerative Medicine/Stem Cell Therapies could be next wave in medicine • Novel scientific breakthroughs will be achieved over the next decade and beyond • Adult stem cell therapies look promising and are the closest to being approved • Exciting new therapies are in the pipeline that will ultimately benefit patients
