8 8 ACI Life Sciences Mergers & Acquisitions – March 12, 2009 Guidance: Basic Principles on Global Clinical Trials (1) Regulatory Guidance “Basic Principles on Global Clinical Trials” was issued by MHLW in 2007 Regulatory Guidance “Basic Principles on Global Clinical Trials” was issued by MHLW in 2007 Key Message of the guidance: Promote the conducting global clinical trials more appropriately with consideration of ethnic factors Key Message of the guidance: Promote the conducting global clinical trials more appropriately with consideration of ethnic factors ~ Recent progress~ http://www.pmda.go.jp/operations/notice/2007/file/0928010-e.pdf

9 9 ACI Life Sciences Mergers & Acquisitions – March 12, 2009 Guidance: Basic Principles on Global Clinical Trials (2) ~ Recent progress~ Q&A from Basic principles on global clinical trials (Sep. 28th 2007) 2. What is an appropriate timing for Japan to participate in global drug development? Regarding clinical developments that are globally proceeding, it is recommended to participate as soon as possible. Therefore, prior consideration is important so that, at the latest, participation to the exploratory dose-finding study could be possible.

10 10 ACI Life Sciences Mergers & Acquisitions – March 12, 2009 Guidance: Basic Principles on Global Clinical Trials (3) ~ Recent progress~ 3. Is it mandatory to have a phase 1 trial or pharmacokinetic information in Japanese population prior to conduct of a global clinical trial for patients? The dosage regimen to be used in the global trial should be confirmed beforehand as to whether it does not have any particular safety problem for the Japanese. Q&A from Basic principles on global clinical trials (Sep. 28th 2007) For this purpose, before the start of the global clinical trial, at least it is required to examine single dose safety and pharmacokinetics of investigational drugs in Japanese healthy volunteers or patients, compare the results with non Japanese, and confirm that risks in the Japanese are equivalent with non Japanese.

11 11 ACI Life Sciences Mergers & Acquisitions – March 12, 2009 Five Year Clinical Trial Activation Plan ~ Recent progress~ By MHLW since 2008 Goals of five year clinical trial activation plan   Reinforce clinical research infrastructure to ensure safe and secured patient’s access to new drug and devices – –Build nationwide infrastructure to perform innovative and valuable clinical research in a smooth manner – –Network core clinical research sites where research skills and resources are highly integrated Actions   Clinical study infrastructure building – –10 core clinical research centers and 30 major clinical trial institutions   Human resource development for clinical research – –Training provision for MDs, CRCs, Biostatisticians, Data managers etc   Public promotion of clinical trial and encouraging participation   Efficient clinical research management and sponsor’s ease

22 22 ACI Life Sciences Mergers & Acquisitions – March 12, 2009 Q&A from Basic principles on global clinical trials (Sep. 28th 2007) ~ Challenges and Future Direction~ Sample Size of Japanese Subjects (1) 6. When conducting an exploratory trial like a dose-finding study or a confirmatory trial as a global clinical trial, how is it appropriate to determine a sample size and a proportion of Japanese subjects? …. a sufficient statistical power to detect statistically significant difference should not necessarily be secured within the Japanese subpopulation. However, when the entire study population across regions is defined as a primary analysis population in a confirmatory study, the justification should be explained as to why the entire population can be deemed as one population, while each regional population is not used.

A global trial should be designed as that consistency can be obtained between results from the entire population and the Japanese population, A global trial should be designed as that consistency can be obtained between results from the entire population and the Japanese population, and by ensuring consistency of each region, it could be possible to appropriately extrapolate the result of full population to each region. To consider the possibility to obtain consistent results between the entire population and the Japanese population when designing a global trial, the following methods can be applied; To consider the possibility to obtain consistent results between the entire population and the Japanese population when designing a global trial, the following methods can be applied;
