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
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
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
 Application for medical device Foreign Manufacturer Accreditation (Form No.
18)
 Supporting documentation such as medical certificates, product lists and facilities
summaries
 Registration form to obtain a manufacturing code
Market Opportunity Assessment for Alpha products
2015
23 | P a g e
 Domestic manufacturers must register their manufacturing facilities with their
local prefectural authorities
4. Quality SystemCompliance

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..

  • 11. Market Opportunity Assessment for Alpha products 2015 11 | P a g e THERAPY ANALYSIS Under therapy analysis, following activities were performed:  Analysis of 566 phase 1 oncology drugs  Pipeline Assessment of 1120 all phase oncology drugs  Pipeline assessment of 818 drugs- all phase- various diseases  Cell Therapy Industry Analysis (A) PIPELINE ANALYSIS Pipeline analysis involves the analysis of the products of different companies belonging to different classes that are not yet in the market and are in developmental stage. This involves the drugs that are in 1st , 2nd or 3rd stage of clinical trials. Under this, analysis of 566 phase 1 oncology drugs, 1120 drugs all phase oncology drugs and 818 drugs, all phase, various diseases. Oncology: Some facts and figures  Global cancer incidence rates are expected to increase over the next 20 years by a rate of 75% from 12.5 mn patients in 2008 to 22.5 mn patients in 2030.  The market has increased from roughly USD 9 bn in 1998 to USD 70 bn in 2013. It is estimated that by 2018 the oncology market will reach more than USD 110 bn with a CAGR of 9.0  At present there are more than 500 oncology products are in pipeline which is way more than any other therapeutics area.
  • 12. Market Opportunity Assessment for Alpha products 2015 12 | P a g e Why Oncology?  High unmet needs: Nearly all metastatic solid tumors are uniformly fatal and many opportunities to improve outcomes in earlier stages Significant unmet needs remain in many hematologic malignancies, despite progress  Receptive innovation: Key actors in market generally have been receptive to innovation (providers, patients, payers, regulators)  Favorable dynamics: Limited & concentrated provider universe Historically favorable pricing, reimbursement & access environment
  • 13. Market Opportunity Assessment for Alpha products 2015 13 | P a g e 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.
  • 14. Market Opportunity Assessment for Alpha products 2015 14 | P a g e 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. A Snapshot of the rating mechanism used

  • 20. Market Opportunity Assessment for Alpha products 2015 20 | P a g e 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.
