Mountain View, California-basedComplete Genomics,which has been working toprovide whole genome sequencingthrough a service-basedbusiness model, announced a restructuringin June that includeda shift in focus to the developmentof clinical applications forits whole genome sequencingservice. BGI-Shenzhen providesdeep pockets that should acceleratethe clinical applications ofComplete Genomic’s technology.Complete Genomics’ largercompetitors also announced developmentsthat should acceleratethe clinical utility of genomicsequencing. Life Technologiesbegan shipping its low-cost IonProton sequencing system. <strong>The</strong>company said the chip-basedsystem cost about a third of genomescale sequencing systemsthat rely on light to read a genome.<strong>The</strong> device sits on a desktopand can sequence exomesand transcriptomes in two tofour hours at a cost of $1,000 perrun. Life Technologies expects torelease a second-generation chipfor the system around the end ofthe first quarter of 2013 that willbe able to sequence the humangenome in a few hours for $1,000.At the same time, the geneticsequencing tools company Illuminaand the non-profit healthcaresystem Partners Healthcareannounced an agreement toprovide geneticists and pathologistsnetworking tools and infrastructureto report and interpretdata from genetic sequencing.By pairing Illumina’s expertisein sequencing with PartnersHealthcare’s understanding ofwhat’s needed for clinical utility,the two hope to leverageeach other’s strengths to delivera comprehensive sequencing andclinical reporting solution.Others are also taking stepsto apply new personalized medicineapproaches to clinical care.<strong>The</strong> Big Data analytics companyGNS Healthcare in Septemberannounced a new program withthe healthcare insurance companyAetna to use GNS’ supercomputingcapabilities to helpidentify Aetna members at riskfor heart and metabolic disordersthat can result in stroke, heart attackor diabetes, earlier than itdoes today. GNS will develop data-drivenmodels that will definea person’s risk for developingmetabolic syndrome using Aetnaclaims data as well as healthrecords. A separate agreementbetween GNS and the contractresearch organization Covanceseeks to improve drug developmentby using GNS’ modelingto predict the safety and efficacyof a drug candidate against differentpatient characteristics. Onthe research side, September alsosaw major advances in understandingthe genetics underlyingdisease.<strong>The</strong> Encode Project, an ambitiousinternational effort to characterizeand publish all of thefunctional elements in the humangenome, found that the 80percent of DNA once thought ofas “junk” actually plays a criticalrole in regulating genes and canalso play a part in the onset of disease.Researchers identified morethan 4,000 switches involved ingene regulation. <strong>The</strong> findings notonly create a new understandingof the role of some 80 percent ofDNA once thought to serve nofunctional role, but also providea new source of potential targetsfor drugs, and new insight intohow genes are regulated andhow people become ill.Separately, a collaborative effortfunded by the National CancerInstitute and the NationalHuman Genome Research Institute,using data generated as partof <strong>The</strong> Cancer Genome Atlas, hasprovided a new understandingLife Technologies expects to releasea second-generation chip for its IonProton sequencing system around theend of the first quarter of 2013 that willbe able to sequence the human genomein a few hours for $1,000.of the four major subtypes ofbreast cancer finding shared geneticfeatures between the formof breast cancer known as “Basallike”or “Triple Negative” breastcancer and serious ovarian cancer.<strong>The</strong> findings will lead to researcherscomparing treatmentsand outcomes for patients withthe two forms of cancer andcould lead to new therapeutic approaches.New research findingsare a reminder about how muchwe still don’t know, but also reflectthe rapid progress beingmade. <strong>The</strong>re are real examples ofpersonalized medicine movingfrom idea to practice in meaningfulways.<strong>The</strong> Dow Jones Industrial Averageand the Standard & Poor’s500 both hit five-year highs inSeptember, and the NasdaqComposite Index hit a 12-yearhigh. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Burrill</strong> Biotech SelectIndex outpaced the major indicesin September as it posted a4.4 percent gain compared to a2.6 percent rise in the Dow, a 2.4(continued on page 4) ❱❱November 2012 2


<strong>The</strong> <strong>Burrill</strong> <strong>Report</strong>Clinical Trials and Payers❱❱ (continued from page 1)Ampyra is a potassium channel blockerthat essentially restores the ability to conductelectrical signals to nerve fibers thathave lost their protective myelin insulation.In retrospect, Ron Cohen, CEO ofAcorda says, if the company knew whatit was going to encounter, it likely wouldhave added elements to its clinical developmentprogram that would have beengeared toward managed care acceptance,but might not necessarily have improvedits chances of regulatory approval.“This is not your grandfather’s Buickanymore. If you grew up in biotech anytime prior to the last five years, youneed to reexamine your assumptionsabout the world of reimbursement. Ithas changed dramatically and it is continuingto change at really stunningspeed,” says Cohen, who says Acordanow engages payers in presentations ofthe company’s early-stage pipeline inpreparation for later discussion on clinicaltrial design once proof-of-concept isestablished. “If you are a developer, youneed to understand it and if you don’thave that expertise in house, go get it,or hire it as a consultant at a minimum,because you need to do it.”Such discussions are not unusual forBig Pharma today, which has not onlyengaged with payers to get their inputon clinical trials designs, but has alsoentered into research partnerships toaddress a variety of concerns and builda deeper dialogue with payers, whonow exert a greater influence on themarket success or failure of a drug.AstraZeneca and Wellpoint announceda four-year collaboration in2011 to study use of already-marketeddrugs. Sanofi and Medco, now part ofExpress Scripts, also in 2011 announcedan agreement that gives Sanofi accessto Medco’s comparative data to helpshape its drug development strategy.And Pfizer that same year announcedseparate agreements with Humana andMedco. <strong>The</strong> Humana collaboration isfocused on improving healthcare for seniorswhile the Medco collaboration focuseson identifying patient subgroupsthat both experimental and marketeddrugs would benefit.In other cases, drugmakers and payershave entered novel collaborationsto share risks by linking the price paidfor drugs to actual outcomes. A 2009agreement between Merck and CIGNA,described as “the first national outcomebasedcontract between a pharmaceuticalcompany and a pharmacy benefitmanagement company,” provides paymentsto Merck that are based on howwell its type 2 diabetes drugs Januviaand Janumet improve blood glucose levelsin patients using the drugs. A separateagreement that same year betweenpartners Procter & Gamble and Sanofiwith the insurer Health Alliance callsfor the drugmakers to cover the cost oftreating patients covered by the insurerwho use the osteoporosis drug Actonelwho develop bone fractures.Payers say what they want to understandis the value of new medications.Ideally, they say what they would like tosee is clinical trials of new medicationsagainst standard of care to establishsuperiority, something they say pharmaceuticalcompanies are reluctant todo because failure to demonstrate thatcould kill the market for a drug.“<strong>The</strong> value of the medication needsto be established. A lot of times a pharmaceuticalfirm will do some economicmodeling for a drug and make some assertionthat you can reduce other medicalcosts,” says Edmund Pezalla, nationalmedical director for pharmacy policyand strategy for Aetna. He says this caninclude claims of medical costs offsets,such as a patient’s use of a drug wouldhelp avoid having a stroke, other medicalevent, or the need to go to an emergencyroom. “But randomized clinicaltrials are not the best place to look forPayers say they want to understand the value ofnew medications. <strong>The</strong>y would like to see clinicaltrials of new medications against standard ofcare to establish superiority, something they saypharmaceutical companies are reluctant to dobecause failure could kill the market for a drug.those medical costs offsets,” he says.In the absence of comparative effectivenessdata, or data on offsets andactual use by patients that are better determinedin real-world studies, there arethings that payers would like to gatherfrom clinical trials. <strong>The</strong>se include understandingif there are subgroups of patientsthat benefit from a drug, not onlythrough the use of biomarkers, but othermeasures such as medical histories orphenotypic data. <strong>The</strong>y are also interestedin measures of quality of life, such aswhether the use of a drug improves theability of someone to stay employed, doactivities around the home, and remainproductive.“It’s not just a matter of, ‘here’s a medicineand you can use it.’ What we aretrying to determine is where does thatmedicine go?” says Pezella. “Is it a medicationthat is for a niche population andthat’s how we should treat it; or is it amedication for a broader audience and itshould be used after an existing generic;or is it a brand new sort of medicationthat really changes patient outcomes, reallychanges patient quality of life?”Roger Longman, CEO of Real Endpoints,a reimbursement-focused informationcompany, said for the most part,there’s a significant difference betweenwhat payers and regulators want fromclinical trials and trying to satisfy bothpresents a challenge. While drug developersare certainly moving toward takinginto account payer concerns in clinicaltrials designs, the data payers mostcare about are still questions answeredonly after an approval.(continued on next page) ❱❱November 2012 3


<strong>The</strong> <strong>Burrill</strong> <strong>Report</strong><strong>The</strong> Risk and Rewards of Clinical Trials Results to InvestorsValue shifts to earlier stages for biotech companiesBY VINAY SINGHWhile biotech stocks are not immuneto the vagaries of the broader market,they tend to rise and fall with companies’prospects as clinical and other developmentsmove them toward success or failure. <strong>The</strong>re’slong been a common wisdom among biotechinvestors about what events create the mostvalue, but as business models have changed,what creates value for a company appears tobe changing as well.<strong>The</strong> <strong>Burrill</strong> <strong>Report</strong> examined clinical trialdata results since the beginning of 2010 forpublicly traded biotechnology companieswith drugs in mid- and late-stage trials. BigPharma companies were excluded from thedata as were companies that did not trade onU.S. exchanges. <strong>The</strong> stock price at the close oftrading on both the day a clinical trial resultwas announced and the day after was usedto measure the impact, as well as the lowestand highest share price from those two days,for our analysis.Biotech investors generally expect that positivelate-stage clinical trial results most propelstocks. But such assumptions may be rooted indifferent times for biotech when companies’fortunes were more closely tied to an FDAapproval. Today, with many smaller biotechsnot planning to commercialize products themselves,critical partnering deals and financingshave increasingly been tied to proof-of-conceptresults.In fact, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Burrill</strong> <strong>Report</strong> found that latestageclinical trial results pose less upside andgreater risk for investors than mid-stage trialresults in recent years. On average, late-stageclinical trials that resulted in positive data leadto only a 5.9 percent increase in the company’sstock price. That compared to an 8 percent increasein stock price, on average, for all companiesthat received positive mid-stage data.Companies that had the misfortune ofTop 20 Positive Movers From Mid- and Late-StageClinical Trial Results (2010-2012)Bottom 20 Negative Movers From Mid- and Late-StageClinical Trial Results (2010-2012)failing a late-stage trial saw more dramaticmoves as their shares fell, on average, 25.8percent. A failed mid-stage trial, on the otherhand, only meant an average 11 percent dropin a company’s share price.What’s more, of the 46 companies that hadlate-stage trial failures, 18, or nearly 40 percentsaw their shares slip 33 percent or more.Companies that had mid-stage trial failures,only 11 percent saw one-third or more oftheir value lost.<strong>The</strong> effect of a failed clinical trial on a company’sstock varied depending on the market-capof the company. Mid-cap companies(companies with market caps of $500 millionor more) proved to be more resilient thansmall or micro-cap companies. <strong>The</strong>re were30 companies that failed a late-stage trial thatsaw their share price drop 10 percent or more.Of those companies, only 5 had market-capsof $500 million or more the day before thefailed clinical trial was announced. Likewise,among the 17 companies that failed a midstagetrial and saw their stock price sink 10percent or more, only 2 had market caps of$500 million or more.A larger market-cap company likely has astronger fundamental business, with deeperpipelines, a stronger, more proven managementteam, or even a product or products onthe market and thus is more resilient to badnews. This, however, also may serve to hurtthe upside potential of a big price pop on goodnews as the perceived success has alreadybeen priced into the company’s shares.This analysis suggests that Wall Street hasadjusted its perception of biotechnology companiesto be more in line with the new valuechain of the life sciences industry. Traditionallya biotechnology company’s value wouldhave been correlated with its ability to becomea fully integrated pharmaceutical company.That is to say a biotech company’s value wouldincrease as it successfully moved through theclinical-stage trials, gained approval, andbrought its product to market. <strong>Now</strong>, though,as the biotech business model has adjustedand value is no longer just a derivative of salesand revenue, Wall Street is putting greater emphasison companies that successfully reachthe proof-of-concept stage with successfulmid-stage data, a point at which they are ableto raise significant money, enter a major partnership,or find a buyer.nNovember 2012 5

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Burrill</strong> <strong>Report</strong>THIRD QUARTER STATISTICSMid-Cap Biotechs Attract Big Pharma CashGSK snaps up Human Genome Sciences and AstraZeneca partners with AmylinBY MARIE DAGHLIANThird Quarter ReviewQ3 Financing by type: globalQ3 Financing by type: U.S.Third Quarter 2012 Financings by TypeGLOBAL4%78%10%5%1%2%U.S.1%81%10%5%1%2%2012 U.S. Venture FinancingsBy Category<strong>The</strong> third quarter of 2012 saw GlaxoSmithKline acquireits long-time partner Human Genome Sciences, endinga three-month battle between the two companies.GlaxoSmithKline succeeded by raising its all cash offerto $14.25 per share from the $13.00 per share offer it hadmade in April 2012. A premium of 99 percent to HGS’s closingprice on April 18 before GSK’s initial offer was madepublic. <strong>The</strong> deal values HGS at approximately $3.6 billionon an equity basis, or about $3 billion net of cash and debt.GSK gained complete ownership of Benlysta, albiglutide,and darapladib, all of which were the subject of an existingpartnership between GSK and HGS. GSK expects to achieveat least $200 million in cost synergies to be fully realizedby 2015, and expects the transaction to be accretive to coreearnings beginning in 2013.Benlysta, the first new treatment for lupus in more than50 years, won U.S. regulatory approval in the spring of 2011amid a lot of hope and expectation. At the time, analystsexpected peak sales of more than $2 billion a year. But ithas had disappointing sales due to a poor roll-out and pushback in Europe over its high cost. Both the German and theUK health systems refused to reimburse for the drug.<strong>The</strong> final agreement between the two partners put to resta hostile back-and-forth. GSK made repeated attempts to acquireHGS after its initial $2.6 billion buyout offer. <strong>The</strong> boardof directors at HGS promptly rebuffed the offer believing itto be too low and even claimed to have other suitors, such asCelgene. <strong>The</strong> maneuvers included GSK attempting to buyHGS stock directly from investors and a “poison pill” strategyemployed by HGS that would liquidate all of its assetsand make acquiring its stock nearly impossible.In the end, however, a sweetened pot of $400 million andthe lack of other legitimate buyers (likely due to GSK alreadyowning licensing rights to all of HGS’s drugs) wasenough for HGS to accept to GSK’s bid.Interestingly, after the GSK bid was accepted by HGS, itwas reported that the company had rebuffed a $7 billionbuyout offer from Amgen in 2010. <strong>The</strong> high bid was probablydue to expectations of blockbuster status for Benlystabefore its approval.Human Genome’s shares had been languishing in thewake of weak Benlysta sales until the GSK offer becamepublic. <strong>The</strong> same was true for Amylin, another mid-capbiotech that gained the interest of Big Pharma after it shedits diabetes alliance with Eli Lilly in late 2011 and gainedapproval of Bydureon, its once-weeklydiabetes drug, in January 2012. Shares ofAmylin languished at $10 for a long timeuntil it was leaked that Bristol-MyersSquibb had made a private offer to buythe company in February for $22 a share.Bristol-Myers eventually sweetened itsVCoffer and snapped up Amylin for $31 aIPO share at the end of June in a complicatedPIPE deal that involved a partnering agreementFollow on between Amylin and AstraZeneca. In Julywhen the sale was completed, AstraZenecapaid Amylin $3.4 billion to becomeDebtOther eq. an equal partner in its diabetes program,which besides Amylin’s diabetes franchise,includes BMS compounds alreadypartnered with AstraZeneca.nNovember 2012 10

SEPTEMBER STATISTICS<strong>The</strong> <strong>Burrill</strong> <strong>Report</strong>M&A: Medtronic Moves into ChinaBuyout of China Kanghui is a harbinger of deals to come in fast-growing Chinese market.BY MARIE DAGHLIAN<strong>The</strong> acquisition offers Medtronica strong local presence in China,both in R&D and manufacturing,plus a vast distribution network.Medtronic agreed to pay approximately$816 million in cash to acquireorthopedic device maker ChinaKanghui Holdings, Medtronic’s largestoverseas acquisition to date. <strong>The</strong> deal islikely to be the first of other such dealsas China’s rapidly aging population willdemand orthopedic implants and supports.Frost & Sullivan expects orthopedicimplants sales in China to almostdouble to $2.7 billion by 2015 to makeit the biggest market after the UnitedStates.“Kanghui represents a significantinvestment in China, acceleratingMedtronic’s overall globalization strategywith an established value segmentdistribution network and strong R&Dand operational capabilities,” saysOmar Ishrak, chairman and CEO ofMedtronic.A leading provider of orthopedic devicesin China, Kanghui’s portfolio andpipeline in trauma, spine, and joint reconstructioncomplement Medtronic’sdevice offerings in spine, neurosurgery,and neuromodulation, and expand itsofferings in orthopedic surgery.Medtronic will pay $30.75 per Americandepository share for China Kanghui,which trades on the New York StockExchange, a 22 percent premium overthe company’s stock price before theannouncement. <strong>The</strong> total value of thetransaction, net of Kanghui’s cash, is expectedto be approximately $755 million.<strong>The</strong> acquisition of China Kanghuioffers Medtronic enormous opportunityto grow its business in the countryby establishing a strong local presence,both in R&D and manufacturing, plus avast distribution network in the country.Medtronic established a Chinese headquartersin Shanghai in March of 2011 inorder to take advantage of the country’sfast growing healthcare sector, and atthe end of August 2012, it opened its firstR&D center in the Shanghai InnovationCenter as a first step toward local developmentand manufacturing activities.Other medical device makers thathave opened R&D facilities in Chinato take advantage of the growing opportunityin the medical device marketinclude Covidien, GE Healthcare, andJohnson & Johnson.Valeant Pharmaceuticals’ acquisitionof the largest U.S. dermatology company,Medicis Pharmaceutical, for $2.6 billion,was the largest M&A transactionin September, a month that saw almost$7 billion in such deals.Valeant will acquire all outstandingMedicis shares for $44 per share in cash,a 39 percent premium over the company’sstock price before the announcement.Medicis’ portfolio includes theoral acne treatment Solodyn, and theinjectable wrinkle remedies Restylane,Perlane, and Dysport, a competitor toBotox. Medicis will maintain its brandand headquarters in Scottsdale, Arizona.Valeant sees a lot to like in the U.S.dermatology market, which it sees asfragmented among several small playersall scrambling for a slice of an estimated$12 billion-plus opportunitywith very little Big Pharma competition.“With a focused target list of prescribers,it is a relationship-oriented and industry-friendlyenvironment,” Valeant’schairman and CEO J. Michael Pearsontold analysts on a call explaining thecompany’s rationale. “In terms of coverage,there is fairly low government reimbursementfor these products, and agrowing self-pay component.”Agricultural biotech giant Syngentapushed into biologic pest control with theacquisition of two companies in the spaceof a week. <strong>The</strong> deals tap into the power ofmicrobes and RNAi as alternative methodsof improving crop productivity.<strong>The</strong> Swiss agrochemical giant is acquiringthe Florida-based biopesticidedeveloper Pasteuria Bioscience for aggregatepayments of $86 million, plus up to$27 million in deferred payments.It has also offered to pay $523 million(€403 million) for the Belgian biotechDevgen, a leading developer of hybridrice and RNAi technology directed towardagriculture. Syngenta’s offer forDevgen represents a 70 percent premiumto Devgen’s closing price prior to the announcement.<strong>The</strong> deals are part of a wave partneringand acquisition activity in what BigAg sees as a potentially lucrative areafor new ways to improve crop yields.By harnessing the natural capabilities ofmicrobes and increased genomic and biologiccapabilities, these companies areseeking to produce new biological cropprotection products that are potentiallyless damaging to the environment.Syngenta was already involved inresearch collaborations with both Pasteuriaand Devgen. In 2011 it teamed upwith Pasteuria in a global exclusive technologypartnership to produce nematodecontrol products based on Pasteuriassp., a naturally occurring soil bacteriumlong recognized as a promising biologicalcontrol agent against nematodes. <strong>The</strong>first products resulting from that relationshipwill be available in 2014.<strong>The</strong> offer for Devgen comes justmonths after the companies began a sixyearresearch partnership and licenseagreement whereby Syngenta was todevelop and commercialize sprayableRNAi-based crop protection productsdeveloped from Devgen’s technology.That deal provided Devgen with a $28.3million upfront payment and annual researchfees of $6.2 million.<strong>The</strong> push into agricultural biologics,a $1.7 billion market that U.S. agriculturalgiant Monsanto says will grow ata rate of 10 percent a year, is compellingfor acquirers because it sidesteps thecontroversial issue of genetic modification.Although genetic modification hasproven safe so far, it remains controversialand unacceptable to consumers inmany countries.nNovember 2012 33
