The Pharmaceutical Value Chain Ashburn & Thor, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, Aug, 2004, pg 673-683 Gilbert, Henske & Singh, IN VIVO, Nov, 2003 10-17 years, $1.7 billion+ process > 75 different disciplines < 10% overall probability of success once a candidate enters clinical trials!!!

Genzyme Deal Criteria  Significant Unmet Medical Need –Rare diseases –New Standard of Care  Risk-reduced Opportunities –Human Proof of Concept or later –Clear Regulatory pathways  Focused Call Point(s) –Not PCP’s  Partnerships –Desire to work together to create value –Both Regional and worldwide Idea!Drug Testing starts at Phase I (Phase I/II for cancer) In vitro Ex vivo In vivo In silico High throughput Bioavailability Systemic exposure Traditional Med.

6 © 2007 Genzyme Corporation. All rights reserved. 5 1. Technology: Introduction  Either fills a current need (pain or greed) or creates a new market  VC’s like technologies that make you say Wow!  New technologies fall into 3 buckets: 1.“Wow! Let’s build a company around this technology!” 2.“Interesting, you should try to license it to Big Rx or one of our portfolio companies” 3.“Thanks for coming in to see us today”

7 © 2007 Genzyme Corporation. All rights reserved. 6 1. Technology: Patent Requirements  New or Novel: Two part test (US) –Cannot have been known, used or described by others –Must not have been known more than one year prior to filing the U.S. patent  Useful –In-vitro/vivo test results proving potential for human application  Non-obvious –Prove the invention is something more than an ordinary practioner in the field would have been able to do

8 © 2007 Genzyme Corporation. All rights reserved. 7 1.Technology: Intellectual Property  Issued patent allows you to exclude others from selling your invention (Barriers to Entry) –Composition of Matter (COM) –Method of Use (MOU)  Do you have the ability to sell your invention without infringing someone else's patent (Freedom to Operate)?  Key safety tip: Don’t disclose until you file!

All rights reserved. 8 Repositioning Reformulating In Licensing De Novo Small Markets* For example, rare diseases or diseases primarily incident in developing nations; government regulations have been enacted to reduce risk and/or raise potential reward for some small markets, e.g., orphan drug status Ashburn & Thor, Nature Reviews Drug Discovery, Aug, 2004, pg 673-683 Proteins Risk (  Target Validity, Druglike Properties & the Development Pathway) Reward (  Time to Market, Differentiability & Revenue) Low Hi Low 2. Strategy: Risk vs. Reward Trade Offs

Money: Where & How Much?  Government –SBIR –STTR  Foundations  Corporations  Venture Capital  Must raise enough to reach next value step up and have 6-9 months of runway –Identification of a lead –I/POC/III/NDA/Launch  The higher quality the source, the better –VC’s want to be a part of Wow! syndicates
