BRAF mutations are present approximately in 60% of advanced melanomas. - Dabrafenib activity has been confirmed by suppressing ERK-P and decreasing cell proliferation. - It has been developed with a detection test from bioMérieux : THxID BRAF. 26 Dabrafenib Development - Dabrafenib has been approved by the FDA and the EMA in 2013 as a NME. - It has a major activity on BRAF V600E but also on BRAF V600K mutation. - It has been developed with a detection test from bioMérieux : THxID BRAF that detects both V600E and V600K mutations. 27 THxID® BRAF test - THxID BRAF has been developed through the collaboration of bioMérieux and GSK. - The test is approved by the FDA since may 2013 and is CE marked. - It has the same detection mechanism of BRAF mutations than Cobas® : a real time PCR system, but has been developed only for detecting BRAF mutations. 28 Summary --tinib Gefitinib Erlotinib Gefitinib 2002 2004 2009 Unspecific development and clinical trials Specific development and clinical trials without companion diagnostic Specific clinical trials to have a specific indication Dabrafenib 2013 Specific development and clinical trials with a companion diagnostic 2013 29 Regulatory Landscape • Ensuring the safe and effective delivery of molecularly targeted agents • Status : IVD • July 14th, 2011 draft guidance : Targeted oncology agents would only gain approval if reviewed in parallel with companion diagnostic tests. • Status : IVD • IVD directive 98/79/EC : Certification process (CE) by an EU Notified Body. • IVD directive is currently being re-written. • Classe C rating. 30 Regulatory Landscape Manufacturer submits file Notified Body Approval Board Notified Body Notified Body Review 31 CDx Perspective • Historical perspective : Most of CDx developed after “companion” drug with a retrospective validation. • Draft Guidance : “In most circumstances, if use of an in vitro companion diagnostic device is essential for the safe and effective use of a therpeutic product, the IVD companion diagnostic device and therapeutic product should be approved or cleared contemporaneously by FDA for the use indicated in the therapeutic product labeling” • ZELBORAF : • Advanced Melanoma • Approved in 2011 • XALKORI : • NSCLC • Apporved in 2011 32 CDx Perspective 33 Co-development Value Stake Holder Benefit BioPharma • Reduce drug development costs Companies • Improve efficacy-safety profile of drug • Increase cost-effectiveness profile • Accelerate approval • Premium pricing for targeted drug • Premium reimbursement CDx • New market opportunities Companies • New partnership Biopharma-CDx companies • Premium pricing for CDx 34 l CDx Market 35 Global Diagnostic Market Key Players • $45 Bn in 2012 • +5% of growth to $62 Bn in 2016 17% Roche • Key Market Players : • • • • Roche : $7.5 Bn Siemens : $5.2 Bn Danaher : $4.4 Bn Abbott : $4.3 Bn 11% Siemens Danaher 52% 10% 10% Abbott Others 36 Global CDx Market • $22 Bn of companion drugs sales • Key Market Players : • Roche Laboratories • Novartis • Pfizer. 4% Sales Revenue Other Diagnostics 96% Companion Diagnostics 62% of the companion drugs market. • $1.8Bn of CDx sales • US market : 40% of global CDx market. • Annual Growth 21.6% 37 New Pharmaceutical Landscape • Emergence of a « Life Science Majors » (Roche, Abbott…) : Roche : • Integrate the 3 key of the CDx-drug Market ( Drug development, Diagnostics, Devices). • Business Model : “In-house” development. • Co-development Drug-CDx. • 4 Business Models : “In-house” Dx division Dx Business Unit – Pharma Dx development group Life sciences research division. • Strong strategic Partnerships : Manage complex development projects.
