Quality Control in Pharmaceutical IndustryPrashant Tomar
Quality control is responsible for sampling, testing, and release of materials and products. It must be independent of production and have qualified staff and resources to effectively carry out quality control arrangements. Adequate facilities and approved procedures must be in place for sampling, inspecting, testing of starting materials, packaging materials, and finished products. All quality control methods, particularly testing methods, must be validated. Comprehensive records must be kept of all quality control procedures and any deviations investigated. Finished products must meet specifications for ingredients, purity, packaging, and labeling.

METHODOLOGY:
The methodology for carrying out pipeline analysis involves Top Down approach in which we
start from total oncology products, and subsequently screen based on various parameters to
eventually arrive at a list of potential products. These products are then scored and ranked.
1. Database of oncology products from PharmaCircle is looked into
PharmaCircle is a paid database having information from various sources like patents,
company websites, clinical trials records and daily news feed. The reason for its selection
is its extensive coverage that includes 10000+ companies, 26,000+ molecules, 37,000+
FDA products and many more.
2. Validation of details by performing Secondary Research
The data and information given by PharmaCircle was needed to be validated upon before
including that into the final output. The secondary search was done to ensure its
authenticity. The sites included in secondary search were clinicaltrials.gov, umin,
ascopubmed, ncbi, etc.
3. Removal of unwanted products from PharmaCircle list
Three different pipeline analyses were performed. In the first and the second project, only
phase 1 active trials were required. Thus, all the other products that were in other phases
and the ones in phase 1 which were inactive, suspended, terminated were eliminated from
the list.
Similarly, the third activity that included the products from all phases and all diseases, no
such filtering was done.

4. Scaling of parameters
Not all the parameters assigned to the drugs hold equal weightage. Thus, in scaling the
parameters are assigned weightage in accordance with their importance. The scores are
provided on a scale of 1-3 and final scores are calculated by multiplying weightage and
scores.

GEOGRAPHICAL MARKET ANALYSIS
JAPAN’S MARKET: A SOURCE OF IMMENSE OPPORTUNITIES
Japan as a market is a very attractive destination for our client. Its old age population,
favor to generic products, etc. prove to be favorable factors for a pharmaceutical
company.
AN OVERVIEW:
Japan is the World’s second largest pharmaceutical market by country
contributing to ~9.7% of the total world pharmaceutical market
Japan is the second largest medical device market in the world, behind USA and
is the World’s 3rd
largest device importer
A relatively low barrier to reimbursement compared to many EU markets with a
streamlined reimbursement system compared to the complicated processes in
other countries and where Pharmacoeconomics analysis is rarely used to make
listing decisions
Until recently the Japanese pharma market, has traditionally been thought of as
isolated with domestic players mainly focused on servicing the local markets.
Now, the Japan market is becoming more open, both to foreign companies
entering the Japanese market and to Japanese companies investing abroad
Around $ 1.7 billion worth of biosimilars are going off patent in 2015 in Japan
making it lucrative for the companies and diagnosis procedure combination
(DPC) system hospitals. Anticipating the opportunity and favorable macro-
forces, a number of companies planning to enter the Japanese market
With new policies that favor generic growth, generic players across the globe are
eyeing Japan’s markets
21. Market Opportunity Assessment for Alpha products
2015
21 | P a g e
Trends in the JapaneseMarket
Establishing International Presence
Finding domestic growth opportunities amidst Japan’s biennial drug price
reduction initiatives is very difficult
In the last several years, a number of Japan's larger pharma companies have been
branching out by setting up R&D sites around the world
Mergers and Acquisitions
With very few blockbuster drugs in the market and scarce innovative treatments
in the pipeline, pharma companies around the world are refining their research
priorities and consolidating growth with a tendency for aggressive mergers and
acquisitions (M&A)
Japanese pharmaceutical companies, who were relatively absent from M&A
activities as compared to global trends, are also eyeing M&A opportunities in new
markets
Foreign Participation growing in Japanese pharmaceutical sector
Traditionally international firms have struggled to adapt to Japan's regulatory
system and working culture, but today most major pharma companies maintain a
successful presence
Government reforms like greater harmonization with EU and US regulatory
regimes and R&D tax credits have helped persuade companies to set up shop in
Japan
Japan has gradually become a popular destination for multi-regional clinical trials
(MRCTs) since 2006, shortening the time and expense involved in getting new
drugs to Japanese patients safely
22. Market Opportunity Assessment for Alpha products
2015
22 | P a g e
Favorable policies for Generic growth
Japan is attempting to incentivize higher use of generic drugs as a means to
reduce healthcare spending
Generic drugs have struggled to gain share in the Japan market until recently
Unconfirmed reports suggest that Japan’s government wants generic penetration
of 60% in 2017, up from just 30% in 2014
Thus generic manufacturers from around the world - especially generic specialists
like India - are looking to Japan as a source of future expansion
MedicalDevice RegulatoryPathway
1. Determine Regulatory Pathway
Device classification according to the PMDL
(Class 1, 2, 3, 4; classes are rated as per increasing risk to patient or user) and
Availability of a JMDN code
(Broadly based on Global Medical Device Nomenclature) Need fluency in
Japanese to make correct selection)
2. Appoint Market Authorization Holder
Manufacturers with no local presence in Japan must appoint a Marketing
Authorization Holder (MAH) or Designated MAH* to
Manage their device registration process and
Liaise with the PMDA, Japan’s medical device market regulator
3. Submit Foreign Manufacturer Accreditation Application
Submitted to the PMDA by your MAH/DMAH

CUSTOMER PROFILING
Our client being a producer of drug delivery devices is constantly in search of the customers that
can use its devices to dispense their medications.
During the search for ideal customers, two companies i.e. Alkermes and Baxalta were analyzed
upon and decks were prepared.
Reasons for the selectionof Alkermes and Baxalta
Both Baxalta and Alkermes are emerging companies. It is easier for our client to tap the
emerging companies than the more established ones.
There has been a steady increase in the revenue of both these companies. This implies the
higher sale of products of these companies making them a perfect partner to work with.
Alkermes and Baxalta have collaborations with big companies regarding one or more
products. This provides our client an indirect access to these big companies via them.
Majority of the inline as well as pipeline products of Baxalta and Alkermes are
injectables. Since, the core competency of our client is in injectables section, this makes
them a perfect match.
Both the companies are involved with the manufacture of biologics. Since, the most
preferred route for biologics is through injections, thus, the companies are good options
for our client..
