Common Translational Research Needs R&D Plan: unmet need, full commitment, resources and capabilities (HTS, medchem, relevant models, broad team-based expertise) IP Package: convert a basic research discovery into a marketable product with a strong IP portfolio to protect R&D investment Pre-clinical Package: de-risk technology (lead optimization, toxicity, efficacy, etc.) to prove clinical relevance and incentivize commercial investment

PROOF OF CLINICAL RELEVANCE REQUIRED Early Discovery Hit to Lead Lead to Pre-clinical Candidate Pre-clinical Development Clinical Trials Drug Discovery Biotech/Pharma Companies Academia Drug Candidate Target Identification Assay Development Validated Hits Target Validation Lead Preclinical and Clinical Development New Medicine Basic Science: Identification of Molecular Pathways Commercial Partnering Interest Has Shifted 1 Early Stage Research Discovery --> Pre-Clinical/Clinical Success > 1 Stewart, J., Campbell Alliance Dealmakers’ Intentions Survey 2012; Christini, A., Nat. Biotechnol. 30, (2012)

PROOF OF STRONG IP REQUIRED After Ariad v. Lilly (2010) -Patents are not awarded for discovering key mechanisms - no matter how groundbreaking -Broad patent claims should be supported by a representative number of working examples in specification -Filing an application too early (with incomplete written description) may reduce incentives for commercial partners

Options for Advancing Dr. Gold’s Technology Traditional patent licensing model - a broad mechanism of action claim not likely patentable under Ariad - create R&D plan: design and evaluate novel analogs - create IP package: file on novel analogs - create pre-clinical package: lead optimization, pharm-tox, efficacy, etc. New “drug re-purposing” model -new use of known drugs –> typically limited commercial potential exceptions: orphan drug status, new formulation (combination, delayed release, etc.), off-label use - highlights need for pre-competitive partnerships between academia, non-profits, govt. labs, FDA, industry

NIH INTRAMURAL RESEARCH (NIH Laboratories) NIH EXTRAMURALRESEARCH (Grantees and Contractors) Supports: Bethesda, MD; Arizona; Montana 27 NIH Institutes & Centers >6,000 scientists & research personnel Basic Translational & Clinical Research 10% of overall NIH budget Supports: >3,000 institutions worldwide >300,000 scientists & research personnel Awards issued in over 100 countries Basic Translational & Clinical Research 90% of overall NIH budget Courtesy of OER/NIH

NIH Intramural Translational Resources NIH Intramural Laboratories – 27 Institutes & Centers (ICs) Each IC has a unique mission and is organized by -disease (cancer, diabetes) -organ system (heart lung & blood, eye) -life stage (child health, aging) -scientific discipline (infectious diseases, genomics) ICs employ world-class scientists - potential research collaborations - access to special patient populations - research tools (cell lines, antibodies, mouse models)

Accessing NIH Intramural Translational Resources Managed by IC Technology Development Offices - Facilitate research partnerships, exchange of research materials, data and confidential information - Negotiate transactional agreements: o confidentiality agreements o clinical trial agreements o collaboration agreements, CRADAs - Evaluate new innovations from IC scientists for partnering or patenting - Provide strategic guidance to IC scientists on technology development - Create virtual teams to advance early stage R&D and prove clinical relevance Contact Information - Handout

Accessing NIH Extramural Translational Resources Managed by IC Extramural Scientific Program Officers - Financial: grants & contracts - In-Kind (via NIH contracts/grants): - Sample repositories - Screening - Preclinical development - Clinical trial networks Specific Resource Program Information – Handout
