A High Level Snapshot of Challenges & Opportunities in the Oncology Market

• The cancer field has been undergoing some significant changes and challenges, especially in this age of premium-priced, targeted therapies: from molecular stratification of patients to the increasing pushback from payers and cancer centers themselves around the cost benefits of new therapies. To some degree, the use of molecularly targeted agents directed to specific patient populations can help overcome market access barriers by providing a stronger efficacy signal and hence meaningful clinical value. The potential downside to the "niche-ification" of cancer is that supporting a sustainable oncology franchise expansion could become more difficult. This talk will explore at a high level how novel targets and trial designs are enabling advances that can provide unique ways for oncology companies to grow their franchises by generating the data for novel products with differentiated value propositions that garner the interest of all the key constituencies—patients, physicians, regulators and payers

Even in the US, Cancer Is Losing Its Privileged Status

Sanofi Halves Price of Cancer Drug Zaltrap After Sloan-Kettering RejectionNovember 8, 2012 – The New York TimesIn an unusual move, a big drug company said on Thursday that it would effectively cut in half the price of a new cancer drug after a leading cancer center said it would not use th d b it t i Th d b S fi f th l d Z lt ld b i f i t t th f tt d i i ththe drug because it was too expensive. The move — announced by Sanofi for the colon cancer drug Zaltrap — could be a sign of resistance to the unfettered increase in the prices of cancer drugs, some of which cost more than $100,000 a year and increase survival by a few months at best. Zaltrap came to market in August at a price of about $11,000 a month. Soon after, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York decided not to use the drug, saying it was twice as expensive but no more effective than a similar medicine, Avastin from Genentech. Both drugs improved median survival by 1.4 months, doctors there said. Three doctors at Sloan-Kettering publicized the cancer center’s decision last month in an Op-Ed article in The New York Times. “Ignoring the cost of care is no longer tenable,” they wrote. ”Soaring spending has presented the medical community with a new obligation. When choosing treatments for patients, we have to consider the financial strains they may cause alongside the benefits they may deliver.”

In an unusual move, a big drug company said on Thursday that it would effectively cut in half the price of a new cancer drug after a

Sanofi executives argued that the price they had set was very similar to that of Avastin. “The intent was not to charge a premium,” Christopher A. Viehbacher, the chief executive of Sanofi, said in an interview last month. Sloan-Kettering, he said, was basing its price comparison on a dose of Avastin that was half the dose Sanofi used in its own comparison. On Thursday, Sanofi backed down. “We believe that Zaltrap is priced competitively as used in real-world situations,” it said in a statement. “However, we recognize that there was some market resistance to the perceived relative price of Zaltrap in the U.S. — especially in light of low awareness of Zaltrap in the U.S. market. As such, we are taking immediate action across the U.S. oncology community to reduce the net cost of Zaltrap.” The move was first reported on Thursday by The Cancer Letter, a newsletter about cancer issues. Sanofi said it would not change the official price for Zaltrap but would offer discounts of about 50 percent. Zaltrap, which is given intravenously, is not bought directly by

patients but is sold to doctors or hospitals, which administer it. The cost is then reimbursed by Medicare or private insurers. Patients could be liable for a co-payment. Dr. Leonard B. Saltz, chief of gastrointestinal oncology at Sloan-Kettering and one of the authors of the Op-Ed article, said Sanofi’s offer of discounts “doesn’t really address the problem from our perspective” because Medicare reimbursement and patient co-payments would still be based on the higher list price, at least for several more months. Also, he said, the discounts could give doctors and hospitals an incentive to use Zaltrap because they could profit from the difference between the discounted price they pay for the drug and the higher price at which they are reimbursed by insurers. Dr. Saltz said even at the lower price, he did not foresee Sloan-Kettering doctors using Zaltrap because it was no better than Avastin and might be more toxic. Dr. Saltz is now a consultant to Genentech and has been one to Sanofi. Zaltrap, developed by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology company in Tarrytown, N.Y., was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in August for

unfettered increase in the prices of cancer drugs, some of which cost more than $100,000 a year and increase survival by a few months at best. S fi id it ld t h th ffi i l i f Z lt b tuse as a second-line treatment for colorectal cancer, meaning after an initial regimen had stopped working. Like Avastin, Zaltrap impedes the formation of blood vessels that

nourish cancer cells. Dr. Peter B. Bach, director of the Center for Health Policy and Outcomes at Sloan-Kettering and one of the authors of the Op-Ed piece, said the price of Zaltrap reflected a bigger problem — that over all there was little relation between drug prices and the value they provided. “Normal markets wouldn’t behave like this,” he said on Thursday. “You couldn’t introduce something twice as expensive and no better and still sell it.” Dr. Lee Newcomer, senior vice president for oncology at UnitedHealthcare, said it was the first time he could recall a company cutting the price of a cancer drug so much. “It was the first time physicians have stood up and said, “Enough is enough,’ ” he said. “And I think that was a watershed moment.”

Sanofi said it would not change the official price for Zaltrap but would offer discounts of about 50 percent.

Oncology Market: Business as Usual?

Pfizer-Drug Xalkori Approved for Lung Cancer, but at What Cost?August 30 2011New York City-based Pfizer Inc. gained FDA approval for their drug Xalkori, the first new medicine in several years for deadly, advanced lung cancer, according to new research. Xalkori is used to treat certain patients with late-stage -- advanced or metastatic -- lung cancer along with an abnormal anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene, which causes cancer development and growth. The drug, which works by blocking certain proteins called kinases, including the protein produced by gene abnormality, is being approved with a companion diagnostic test from Abbott Molecular Oncology that helped determine if a patient has the gene.“The approval of Xalkori with a specific test allows the selection of patients who are more likely to respond to the drug,” said Richard Pazdur, M D director of the Office of Oncology Drug Products in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research “Targeted therapies such as XalkoriM.D., director of the Office of Oncology Drug Products in the FDA s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. Targeted therapies such as Xalkoriare important options for treating patients with this disease and may ultimately result in fewer side effects.”The Wall Street Journal reports that, four years ago, Pfizer Inc. was on the verge of abandoning a cancer therapy until scientists discovered its effectiveness for, at the time, only a small group of people -- 6,000 patients a year in the U.S. The results may not achieve multi-billion-dollar sales, but whether that yields a product for tens of millions of patients or 10,000 patients, we're interested, Geno Germano, who runs Pfizer's specialty-care and cancer businesses, told WSJ. In two clinical trials involving about 255 patients, Xalkori delayed tumor progression for at least t th i li htl th h lf th ti t h h d ifi ti t ti th t d t d R hl t t f th

Pfizer plans to charge $115,200 a year per patient for Xalkori.

ten months in slightly more than half the patients who had a specific genetic mutation, the study noted. Roughly one to seven percent of those with larger-celled lung cancer have the ALK gene abnormality, according to the FDA. Patients with this form of lung cancer are typically non-smokers. Federal health regulators discussed the drug shortly after its U.S. approval based on it being reasonably likely to predict a clinical benefit to [lung cancer] patients, they said. Xalkori is approved for the roughly four percent of patients with non-small cell lung cancer who have the gene.In one study, the objective response rate was 50 percent with a median response duration of 42 weeks. In another, the objective response rate was 61 percent with a median response duration of 48 weeks with most patients tested had tumors shrink or disappear for months, without the nasty side effects of chemotherapy. FDA officials said the most common side effects reported in patients receiving Xalkori included vision disorders, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, swelling, and constipation.Pfizer plans to charge $115,200 a year per patient for Xalkori.

Even the Patient-Stratified Approach May Not Be A Sure Thing

German Cost Agency Spurns XalkoriFebruary 21, 2013

The well-armed German pricing gatekeepers have dismissed another Big Pharma drug. Pfizer's lung cancer treatment Xalkori got an initial thumbs-down from the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG).

Under recent healthcare reforms--and budget cuts--in Germany, IQWiG assesses new treatments in comparison with existing alternatives The agency's decisions determine whether new drugs can wear premium price tags If theexisting alternatives. The agency s decisions determine whether new drugs can wear premium price tags. If the treatments aren't deemed superior to older drugs, then companies' pricing power is virtually nil. "No additional benefit" is the operative phrase when IQWiG is least impressed. And that's the designation the agency awarded Xalkori.

" dd l b f " h h h lwith non-small cell lung cancer. It was greeted with great fanfare in the U.S. when FDA approved it in 2011 as a highly effective, targeted drug for patients whose disease is particularly difficult to treat. But it's highly expensive as well.

IQWiG took issue with Xalkori's side effects in comparison with other NSCLC chemotherapies. And it slapped a "no additional benefit" on the drug in comparison with best supportive care because Pfizer hadn't provided any data.

"No additional benefit" is the operative phrase when IQWiG is least impressed. And that's the designation the agency awarded Xalkori.

Pfizer, in turn, took issue with the assessments in a statement titled "IQWiG method distorts the benefits of personalized cancer medicine." The company says it believes Xalkori offers a "significant benefit" for appropriate patients. And it plans to argue its case before the agency deadline in early March.

Trying to Differentiate in the Anti-EGFR Space: Novel, Synergistic Anti-EGFR Antibody Mixturey g y

• Sym004 is a combination of two monoclonal antibodies which target different non-overlapping eptiopes of EGFR

• In murine tumor xenograft models, Sym004 demonstrated efficacy superior to Erbitux and Vectibix – like these agents, Sym004 inhibits ligand binding and EGFR activation, and also induces immune-mediated killing of cancer cells

• However, Sym004 induces more rapid internalization and greater degradation of EGFRgreater degradation of EGFR

• It has been hypothesized that the increased rate of receptor internalization and degradation may account for the greater anti-tumor efficacy of Sym004 compared to conventional anti-EGFR antibodies

• Sym004 is believed to from larger antibody-receptor complexes at the cell surface than antibodies targeting single epitopes and these larger complexes apparently promote an increased rate of receptor internalization

• Agents which promote increased internalization and degradation of EGFR may provide superior anti-tumor activity compared to conventional anti-EGFR antibodies for the following reasons:

o more complete inhibition of ligand binding and EGFR activationo increased EGFR degradation prevents ligand-independent signaling via interaction with other

receptors

Merck KGaA grabs a cancer antibody hybrid in $625M Symphogen pactg y y y p g pSeptember 6, 2012 | By John CarrollDanish biotech Symphogen picked up a major league pharma partner today along with an injection of fresh cash. Merck KGaA snagged Symphogen's second program--an anti-EGFR "mixed" antibody now in Phase II--with a €20 million ($25 million) upfront payment and promises of up to €475 million ($600 million) more in development and commercial milestonesmillion) more in development and commercial milestones.Merck KGaA gets Sym004, which is engaged in a mid-stage efficacy study. Antibodies, of course, have now become a standard feature in the biotech landscape. But Symphogen is one of a number of developers working on a next-gen approach by concocting antibody "mixtures" that can attack disease along multiple fronts. Genentech teamed with Symphogen on polyclonal antibodies four years ago.Merck KGaA's treatment is a combo threat weaving two antibodies together which have the potential toMerck KGaA s treatment is a combo threat, weaving two antibodies together which have the potential to "block ligand binding, receptor activation and downstream signaling but are also thought to elicit removal of the EGFR receptors from the cancer cell surface by inducing EGFR internalization and degradation." And the pharma giant says that it sees the program as a natural extension of its Erbitux franchise.A Phase I/II study has begun to produce safety and biomarker data for patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer. And a year ago Symphogen launched a mid-stage study of the treatment formetastatic colorectal cancer. And a year ago Symphogen launched a mid stage study of the treatment for head and neck cancer.

Related PoR Can Provide Halo Effect Over PoC!

MacroGenics pockets $20M in $450M deal with ServierDecember 1, 2011 | By Ryan McBride

Taking another step forward after the failure of a late-stage trial of its lead drug last year, MacroGenics has bagged a pharma deal to fuel development of an immune-stimulating antibody against cancer. Servier, France's second-largest drugmaker has ponied up $20 million upfront inFrance s second-largest drugmaker, has ponied up $20 million upfront in the deal that gives it an option to develop and commercialize the drug, dubbed MGA271, for the European market.

Rockville, MD-based MacroGenics is testing the antibody drug in a Phase I trial in patients with solid tumors. The drug is intended to target the B7-H3 immune receptor, which is overexpressed in a wide variety of malignancies such as non-small cell lung, prostate and colorectal cancers. The developer is using a companion diagnostic in the trial to screen patients for the B7-H3 receptor, the company said.

The pact with Servier gives the French drugmaker the option to license the antibody after Phase I testing, at which point payments tied to the deal would total $60 million for MacroGenics. MacroGenics could reap up to an additional $390 million in payments if other development and commercial goals are reached, and the deal enables the company to hold on to rights to the drug in North America, Japan, India and Korea,

hold on to rights to the drug in North America, Japan, India and Korea, according to a press release. Servier gets rights to the drug in Europe and the rest of the world.
