1. MPP LICENCES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTRODUCTION OF NEW PRODUCTS AND FORMULATIONS Esteban Burrone, July 2017

2. To increase access to new treatments for HIV
THE MEDICINES PATENT POOL: A PUBLIC HEALTH VOLUNTARY LICENSING ORGANIZATION
Founded in 2010 by
To increase access to new treatments for HIV
And facilitate innovation e.g. combinations and paediatrics
In 2015, expanded mandate to Hepatitis C and Tuberculosis

3. How we work Prioritise medicines
Approach patent holders
Negotiate public health oriented licences
Sub-license to generics
Facilitate development of needed formulations
Facilitate access to affordable medicines for people in LMICs

4. LICENSING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

6. NEW: EXPANSION OF ATAZANAVIR LICENCE
Today we are announcing the expansion of our licence with Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) on WHO recommended 2nd line medicine atazanavir from 110 to 122 countries
New countries: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt*, Indonesia*, Malaysia*, Philippines*, Vietnam, Equatorial Guinea, Cook Islands, Niue, Ukraine*
These countries are home to 1.4 million people living with HIV
We are pleased to be announcing the expansion of the atazanavir licence so that more countries can benefit from access to affordable quality assured generics.
* Countries where ATV is patented, with patents expiring in late 2018 / early 2019

So here is the new geographical scope in view of this announcement
Now, the focus of this event is primarily in relation to the new ARVs. So let’s have a look at those.
I believe we have today one of the best opportunities we have had so far to transition to new ARVs that can potentially make a significant difference in treatment outcomes. Drugs like dolutegravir not only appear to have important clinical advantages, but also have the potential for being more affordable.
Since the scale-up in HIV treatment began in LMICs in the early 2000s, this is one of those rare moments in which we have such an opportunity. An earlier opportunity some years back was with the introduction of TDF, and attempts to phase out d4T.

8. The Case of Tenofovir (TDF) 10-11 Years from Approval to Scale-up
IN THE PAST LONG DELAYS FOR UPTAKE OF NEW MEDICINES IN LOW AND MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES
The Case of Tenofovir (TDF)
Volumes
10-11 Years from Approval to Scale-up
This slide, which I have adapted from the Global Fund, shows the transition and uptake of TDF. It took approximately 11 years to see uptake for tenofovir to take off in low and middle income countries, following its approval in the United States.
There are a large number of reasons for that across the whole chain of events that need to happen to see a new HIV medicine accessed by those who may need the medicine. These relate to: changes to treatment recommendations, price, availability of suitable formulations including FDCs, inclusion in procurement lists or essential medicines lists, regulatory approval and in-country registration, demand, forecasts, procurement and supply chain issues, understanding on whether the is drug appropriate for different populations (e.g. people with TB, pregnant women), community acceptance, etc.
11 years. This would mean that for a new drug like DTG (approved in August 2013) we would need to wait until 2024 before we started seeing uptake in LMICs
But let’s zoom in on one of these, which is the availability of affordable versions of the medicine for use in LMICs

9. ACCELERATING AVAILABLITY OF QUALITY ASSURED GENERICS
HISTORICAL TIMELINES FROM APPROVAL TO GENERIC COMPETITION
Lopinavir/ritonavir: 8 years 5 months
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate: 7 years and 6 months
NEW TIMELINES (WITH THE MEDICINES PATENT POOL)*
Dolutegravir: ~ 4 years
This slide shows the time from approval of a new ARV in developing countries, to the availability of at least 2 quality-assured generic manufacturers for that ARV
We see from the slide that with dolutegravir, and soon with TAF (or rather with TAF/FTC), this timeline is being reduced significantly, almost to half.
This is a significant reduction.
Now, we know that there are many other things that need to fall in place, and I believe that one of the objectives of this event is to begin to unpack how all the different parts of that puzzle. In order to accelerate the process, we need to ensure that things happen in parallel, rather than sequentially. And this already seems to be happening.
So while the generic approvals are happening for DTG, studies on use in pregnant women and TB are ongoing, experience in using the medicines in a real-life setting is beginning to accumulate, guidelines are being adapted, support on how to undertake a smooth transition is being issued, etc.
TAF/FTC : ~ 3 years

No royalties on API. Other provisions: Includes one-time technology transfer

12. MPP-WHO FORECASTS ON USE OF DOLUTEGRAVIR
So are these medicines that important? What is the expected uptake?
What you see here is the forecast developed by the MPP in partnership with the WHO, showing us what may happen and how some of these medicines will likely become central to HIV treatment in the not-so-distant future.
Of course there are many assumptions behind these graphs. And much will depend on whether we manage to shorten the timelines. If we can accelerate in-country registrations, if data confirms that drugs are safe in pregnant women and people with TB, etc, etc.
