1 Product Development-Focused Translational Research at the University of Kansas Scott J. Weir, PharmD, PhD Overland Park, KS 19 October 2012
2 The New Role of Academia in Drug Discovery and Development
3 Changing Environment for Academia Pharma Industry Undergoing Dramatic Transformation Loss of patent protection for up to $250b (~28%) of current sales by 2015 vs Pricing pressures and increasing focus on comparative effectiveness resulting in reduced product profitability Research productivity is declining and not sustaining sales levels R&D spending declined in 2008 and 2009, for the first time ever as a consequence of declining sales Pharma adopting new approaches to R&D including substantially increased outsourcing of drug discovery and early drug development to academic institutions
4 Changing Environment for Academia Both Pfizer and Merck Expect to Obtain 20-30% of Development Candidates Through Academic Collaborations Emerging model Current model Academic drug discovery centers Major multi-project academicpharma collaborations Academic project consortia Later stage development Partnerships in clinical proof of concept Funded intermediaries, e.g., Biopontis Past pharma-academic model Unrestricted grants Fee-for-service Technology/early product stage licensing
5 Changing Environment for Academia Changes at NIH Supportive of IAMI s Efforts NCATS provides our nation with an opportunity to forge a new paradigm for translational research that involves government, academia, industry, philanthropy, and patient advocacy groups. Through partnerships that capitalize upon our respective strengths, I believe we can work together to achieve our common goal: speeding the movement of scientific discoveries from the lab to patients. F. Collins, 12/23/2011 NIH-FDA Leadership Council to explore strategies and drive progress in regulatory science Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND) Program» RAID Program Bridges» Funding early drug development for rare and neglected diseases» TRND Pilot projects» TRND SBIR program to be launched in 2013 Drug Repurposing of Approved and Abandoned Drugs» NIH-Industry Roundtable April 21-22, 2011» Drug Rescue RFA - ~60 abandoned drugs provided by pharma CTSA 2.0 Establish the consortium as a world class environment for high quality, multi-site clinical and translational science
6 Changing Environment for Academia Changes in Disease Philanthropy Organizations Create an Opportunity for Innovative Partnerships Increasingly important source of academic research support for discovery and early development Historically took POC fund approach and provided grants to academic investigators like the NIH» No active management of funded projects» Large number of grants» Limited cross-fertilization of projects» Disappointing results led to re-evaluation of the model Leading funds have shifted funding to institutional investment model» Larger investments possibly including IP assets» Staff includes industry experienced development and project management professionals to actively manage projects» Fund to milestones as defined by development plan Continue/discontinue funding decisions based on results» Obtain success-based returns to supplement philanthropic contributions The Learning Collaborative is an example of the creative approach of IAMI to access philanthropic funding and to structure partnerships to increase patient impact
7 Changing Environment for Academia July 6, 2010 FOCR Town Hall Meeting The New Role of Academia in Drug Discovery and Development New Thinking, New Competencies, New Results HHS Secretary Sebelius presented as keynote speaker Panel discussion with NIH Director Collins and FDA Commissioner Hamburg moderated by Richard Gephart Four panels representing academia, government, industry and disease philanthropy Held at Kauffman Foundation
8 Our Strategy
9 Our Strategy Cancer Center Vision circa 2005 Excel in the discovery and advancement of new cancer therapies to the clinic, Provide state-of-the-art cancer research, prevention and healthcare programs, Enhance care at both the community and national level; and Measurably reduce the burden of cancer in our region. Resulting in The University of Kansas Cancer Center being designated as a NCI Comprehensive Cancer Center Goal established in 2005
10 Our Strategy Opportunities circa 2005 KU School of Pharmacy ranked in top 5 based on NIH funding Significant pieces of drug development capabilities tied to Marion legacy not linked across campus Strength of cancer biology research conducted at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research Strength of Children s Mercy Clinical Pharmacology, also linked to Marion legacy Regional drug development assets linked to Marion legacy Need unique niche capability to support designated Cancer Center approval
11 KU School of Pharmacy Currently ranked #2 based on NIH funding, consistently ranked in top five Dr. Takaru Higuchi» The Father of Physical Pharmacy Dr. Higuchi Dr. Valentino Stella» KU s most successful entrepreneur» NCI Experimental Therapeutics (NExT) Program Dr. Stella National Leadership in Medicinal Chemistry» Dr. Jeffrey Aube National Specialized Chemistry Center ($20M) Center for Chemical Methodologies and Library Development ($20M) Dr. Aube» Center for Cancer Experimental Therapeutics
12 The Institute for Advancing Medical Innovation An Academic Proof of Concept Center Established in January, 2009 $16.1M over 5 years» Largest single grant awarded by Kauffman Foundation» Match provided by KU Endowment Association Supports regional (and KU) translational research priorities» Frontiers» University of Kansas Cancer Center Home to pharmaceutical industry expertise spanning target validation through clinical proof of concept» Focus on drugs and supporting diagnostics» Milestone based investments NOT grants! Investment decisions» Hire subject domain expert consultants» Prepare Investment Memo» Input from IAMI Advisory Board» Final decision by KU upper management Three types of projects» Faculty» IAMI» Partnerships
13 Guiding Vision, Mission & Approach Vision» Change the standard of care for patients suffering from cancer, neurologic, rare and neglected diseases Mission» Discover and develop drug products and companion diagnostics with a clear path to market
14 Guiding Vision, Mission & Approach Approach to Achieve Function as sustainable translational research engine for the Kansas City region Develop innovative T1 translational research projects and programs with a clear path to market Define and execute project plans that enhance the probability of success and increase the value of licensing transactions Partner with industry, academia, government, and disease philanthropy collaborators to fully leverage the strengths and capabilities of each partner, and accelerate new treatments to patients Maintain therapeutic focus, while opportunistically pursuing other product and therapeutic areas when strategic
