  1. Rx.3 Cybele Huntington„s: Disease in a Dish Working Toward a Cure December 10, 2013 Total interviews: 91 Contact: jharness@gmail.com Team: - Julie Harness - Geeta Chauhan - Hildegard Mack - Nick Mordwinkin - Jamieson Sheffield Mentor: Antoun Nabhan
  2. Team Cybele Julie Harness, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow, UCSF Department of Neurosurgery Stem cell biologist with background in translational research and Huntington’s Disease Hildegard Mack, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow, UCSF Department of Biochemistry Biochemist and cell biologist with background in basic research on aging and age-associated diseases Geeta Chauhan Director Innovation, Alcatel-Lucent CTO New product development, Bell Labs Research Translation, cloud computing, data analytics, multiple startups Nick Mordwinkin, PharmD, PhD Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford Stem cell biologist with background in next gen seq, drug screening, cell therapy & cardiovascular disease modeling
  3. The Problem: no cure for Huntington‘s Disease Huntington‘s Disease (HD) at a glance    Deadly dominant genetic neurodegenerative disease affecting all age groups 1 in 10,000 Americans plus their families affected Aberrant gene makes mutant protein, killing Medium Spiny Neurons (MSN) One limitation on HD research/drug discovery   Lack of representative animal models and cell models Impossible to take patient samples since affected cells are inaccessible and residing in the brain Our solution: Create affected cell type in a dish     Idea: reprogram somatic cells into iPSCs and differentiate into MSNs Starting material easily accessible Reprogramming methods established Efficient method to derive MSNs developed by us differentiate Human iPSC MSN
  4. Here is what we thought….
  5. Cybele’s MSN can add value in a multitude of ways Tool for Basic Research and Drug Discovery Discovery Preclinical Clinical Development Translational “valley of death” Ph 1 high basic Target Hit throughput research screen Ph 2 Ph 3 high Lead functional First In Proof of NDA Candidate IND content assays Human Concept Investigational New Drug screen New Drug Application Direct Therapeutic Preclinical Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 FDA App & Approval
  6. Original Canvas Ideas
  7. Here is what we did….
  8. Questions to customers Approach: Q: Cells for in vitro use or direct therapeutic intervention or both? A: Therapeutic is too expensive to finance directly given the small patient population (not attractive to investors). As an in vitro tool, it might be. Product: Q: Is it in vitro cultured cells/platform or data we generate from platform? A: Platform. Academic researchers want to control their own experiment and pharma wants to control compound libraries, experimental details and data. * But they do outsource toxicity regularly. Customer: Q: Academic basic researchers or big pharma? A: Both, but we will focus on them at different stages of development. We also add tox screening companies and CRO‟s as important players. Partnership ecosystem, licensing
  9. Original Canvas Ideas
  10. Cybele Biologics Research Partners: -Lisa Ellerby at Buck -Bill Horn at USDA ARS -Cyprotex -other researchers/ startups we could generate data and publish with (e.g. Zephyrus) Informal Partners: -FDA – make them aware of cells for preclinical applica ons Strategic Alliances: -CHDI & other distributors such as ATCC, Coriell, CDI Supplier Rela onships: -Lifetech (if we do their reagents) -Whoever we get iPS cells from, maybe Coriell Produc on of the differen ated popula ons Batch release valida on Contac ng CROs, tox companies, pharma etc 1 Enable in vitro research in an indica on with unmet medical need (Hun ngton’s Disease) Fundraising 2 Reduce drug discovery costs by enabling acquisi on of meaningful data earlier in drug discovery pipeline; fail drugs earlier IP for MSN differen a on, freedom to operate 3 Reduce tox screening costs – get meaningful toxicity info early CROs, startup infrastructure, biotech & pharma in bay area -Overhead – space at QB3 or other incubator, regulatory body approvals, costs of filing patent -Cost of raw materials – undifferen ated cells from vendor and CRISPR modifica on -Differen a on of popula ons – hood rental, space at QB3, technician -Batch release costs – verifica on, regulatory body approvals Get: Conference presence Venture arms of pharma Seminars in academia Risk-free trial product Google AdWords Keep: Cust serv/trouble shoot Loyalty program Grow: Custom services Assay Depot/Sci Exchange CRO’s without exper se to differen ate in-house (e.g. System Biosciences) Academics & NPOs working on HD Pharma/biotech companies (e.g. Lifetech) Tox screening companies (e.g. Cyprotex) Distribu on by trusted brand, like Lonza, Lifetech or CDI Nonprofit research orgs like CHDI – recommend product to collaborators Direct sales of cellular popula ons Direct sales of custom differen a on jobs to CROs IPR Licensing (e.g. to CDI)
  11. Here is what we found….
  12. Universe of Partners Tools & Platforms Pharma & Biotech Cybele NPOs
  13. Two products to entice licensing/partnering with cell supply companies and ADMET or pharma  Cryopreserved cell populations for direct sale  Verstile for many downstream applications  New niche product in existing market * ADMET – Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion Toxicity  Functional assay: Multi Electrode Array (MEA)  New product in existing market with infrastructure  Ability to determine functional response to compounds over long period of time  Ability to determine relative toxicity of compounds in MSN
  14. We identified several companies interested in each of our product/service options as partners, customers and/or channels Competitors ATCC Provide reagents Joint development Joint development Velocity System Add to own products Cells for sale as research tool (off-theshelf and custom) Cybele Pfitzer Functional assays based on our cells Co-development / Acquire co-ownership p technology Cyprotex Color code: Channel partner Customer Partner Competitors? Competitors? Drug candidate developed using our cells CDI GSK
  15. Where to focus? Revenue Models Considered • Drug discovery company: Potentially worth $ billions, but requires >$50M in high-risk investment + significant capabilities added to existing MSN tech • Cells: Relatively easy to advance to market, small revenue stream • Screening services: Longer sales cycle than cells, but can be offered with modest investment on top of that necessary to validate cell products Product offering # of customers Revenue per customer Investment Required and Exit $2000 – 5000 per customer per year ~$100k (Viable) Purified cell products • • • >200 Mostly academic Some pharma research labs in HD Screening projects • • 20-30 Pharma research labs w/ HD interest $100k (pilot projects) to $1M (large-scale screens) ~$250k (Viable) Drug discovery w/ outlicensing of drug candidates • • 10-15 Pharma companies with licensing / acquisition interest in HD Potential for >$1B exit event $50-500M (High-risk)
  16. The market for Cybele as a tools company (I) General considerations     Niche products in existing markets Our cell product is a „consumable“ Most similar product : neuronal Progenitor. COG = $7, sales price = $1,200 Our cells: COG = $1,500, sales price = $2,200 Top-down analysis     Based on S1 of a similar company, CDI Market for „cells for in vitro drug discovery, toxicity testing and chemical safety” Assumes that HD share of purchases reflects HD share of NIH budget Target market would be entire SAM What about a bottom-up estimate?

Editor's Notes

  • Mt Fuji vs Half Dome
  • You also need a slide on investment returns and exit for the business model you&apos;re recommending. Who is the likely investor? How much of a return would they get, when, and how?
  • Ideal Customer now:Doing drug discovery for HD &amp; other neurodegenerative disorders requires a stead supply of the HD Cellular Model for testing
