The document discusses the challenges faced by the pharmaceutical industry, particularly big pharma, in drug development due to structural and cultural issues. It introduces the concept of 'true open innovation,' which leverages a global network of resources and expertise to improve efficiency and reduce costs in drug development. Boston Strategics Corporation aims to establish this network, facilitating faster and more affordable drug discovery processes through collaboration with various stakeholders, including academic institutions and biotech firms.
Presentation for UMass Workshop
- 1. How True Open Innovation TM and its global network can expand the opportunity for drug development by increasing efficiency and decreasing costs Luca Rastelli, PhD Boston Strategics Corporation October, 2013
- 2. Pharmaceutical Industry Challenge Continuous trend for decreased productivity and increased overall investment to discover and develop new drugs CONFIDENTIAL www.BostonStrategics.com 2
- 3. Innovation is coming from smaller Biotech as opposed to Big Pharma More and more, approved compounds were born and achieved PoC in a small, biotech setting CONFIDENTIAL www.BostonStrategics.com 3
- 4. Big Pharma attempts of creating Open Innovation, Biotech-like have mixed results CEDD Center of Excellence for External Drug Discovery CONFIDENTIAL www.BostonStrategics.com 4
- 5. Big Pharma culture and structure impede attempts to “…be more like Biotech…” Big Pharma matrix-organization is culturally unable to support the needed project-focus, project-based dynamics and decision-time requirements. The functional unit-based priorities, planning (and politics) will never be aligned with the project-based ones Big Pharma structural complexity, both in people and physical plant create an economical framework that does not support the correct allocation of resources to the individualized need of a given project At the same time, biotech-based innovation especially in Drug Discovery and Early Development, is challenge by limited venture and government investments. A paradigm shift is required: what can we learn from other industries like the Software and Social Networking industries CONFIDENTIAL www.BostonStrategics.com 5
- 6. True Open Innovation TM Complete Virtualization via the Creation of a Pharmaceutical “Social” Global network Patients Foundation Pharma/Biotech Financial Resources Academia Concep t Innovative Drug / Treatment at Lower Cost / Risk Physicians Hospitals True Open Innovation TM Global Network CONFIDENTIAL www.BostonStrategics.com 6
- 7. Network leverage pools of intellectual operational and financial resources Globally Dedicated Experts “BS Producers” Discovery Medicinal Chemistry Biology (in vitro & in vivo) Drug Metabolism (GLP) PK/PD, Imaging BS Global Network External Experts CROs and CMOs Project A Analytical Chemistry (GMP) Process Chemistry (GMP) API Manufacturing (GMP) Safety Pharmacology (GLP) Toxicology (GLP) Toxicokinetics (GLP) Formulation (GMP) Drug Product Manufacturing (GMP) IND Clinical Studies (GCP) Supply Chain Management (GCP) Business Development QA/Regulatory NDA Sales, Commercial Virtual teams are assembled to move individual projects through the Product Development phase CONFIDENTIAL www.BostonStrategics.com Project B Project C 7
- 8. True Open Innovation TM benefits • Wider spectrum of sources for concepts, herd and metoo mentality are limited if not eliminated • No preexisting cultural inertia • Non-project related or project-driven priorities • Ability to chose the resources and people that best fit the project, no attempts to “fit” the project within only resources and people available to a given-organization All of this results in faster and less expensive development, permitting more ideas/compounds to be tested CONFIDENTIAL www.BostonStrategics.com 8
