Targeted Drug Therapeutics An overview of our technologies and their potential 505(b)(2) applications Sino-American Regulatory Consulting Alliance Yongtian Ni (On behave of our partner) December 4, 2011
An overview of our technologies and their potential 505(b)(2) applications Our Mission and Experience Develop innovative therapies for millions of patients not meeting their treatment goals. *Near-term disease targets: metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes, diabetic complications, cardiovascular, dyslipidemia), alcoholism, osteoporosis, infectiousdiseases, dementia related disorders. * Long-term: Develop new therapies for cancer, vascular diseases, and arthritis. Scientific Focus Areas: * Solve difficult drug targets * Solve formulation issues (small molecules, peptides, proteins) * Solve patient compliance and safety issues * Develop next generation drug products (with improved efficacy and safety) * Develop new drug delivery platforms for different disease targets Addressable global market: Billions Team experience: Supported 18 NDAs/ANDAs, 5 INDs, 6 drug candidates at preclinical/preformulation stage that resulted in 14 commercial drug products. Global research collaborations in United States, Europe, and Asia SARCA
Unmet Medical Needs That We Aim to Fulfill We target patient population that are not meeting treatment goals. Our approach: Improve safety-efficacy profile (e.g., combination drugs providing synergistic effects) Simplify dosing by providing fixed dose combo-formulation Improve convenience by provide sustained release formulations (i.e., fewer injections (via QD, BIW, QW dosing), small needle (31G)) Reduce treatment cost (i.e., increase drug potency, minimize packaging) SARCA
Solving A Common Problem with Most Peptides/Proteins Most peptide/protein drugs have very short in vivo half-life (minutes to hours) and high concentration fluctuations in blood. Thus, multiple daily doses (e.g., BID,TID, or QID) are often necessary to balance efficacy and toxicity. We address the problem by developing controlled release and long-acting formulations using stealth technologies that are capable of providing sustained delivery of drug(s) while maintaining it’s blood concentration within the therapeutic limits. Our aim is to minimize side effects associated with spikes and need for frequent dosing. This is particularly important when treating chronic conditions. SARCA
