Introduction
• Biotechnology– the use of cellular and biomolecular processes
to solve problems or make useful products.– Collection of technologies that capitalize on the
attributes of cells, such as their manufacturing capabilities, and put biological molecules, such as DNA and proteins, to work for us.
Biotechnology? Pharmaceutical?
• Two Distinctions1. Business model
• Biotech:– Much smaller and limited resources to market drug– Use pharmaceutical companies to market their drugs– Just a research engine
• Pharmaceutical– Larger and market drug to market themselves
2. Field of Research• Biotech:
– Use “genetic engineering”• Pharmaceutical
– Use "empirical screening" to develop drugs
Cells and DNA
• Cells– Basic building blocks of life
– have same basic design, use same construction materials and operate using similar processes
• DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)– Genetic materials of all living species
– Directs cell construction and operation to creates to proteins
Uses of Biotechnology
• Biotech drug products and vaccines– Ex. Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis,
AIDS and arthritis
• Medical diagnostic tests– Ex. Home pregnancy tests
• Biotech foods• Environmental and industrial biotechnology• DNA fingerprinting
Global Industry
• 4,284 companies globally– 622 publicly listed
• Revenues: $35 Billion (72% in US)• R&D: $16 Billion• Employed: 188,000 people

US Industry
• 1,466 companies– 318 publicly traded
• Market capitalization: $311 billion
• Revenues: $29.6 billion
• R&D: $20.5 billion
• Employed: 194,600 people

Drug Discovery Process
FDA
• What is the FDA?– Responsibilities of the FDA
• History of the FDA
• Evolution of US Drug Law– Food and Drugs Act (1906) – Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (1938) – Thalidomide Crisis (1962)
Pre-clinical Research
• The beginning of the drug approval process
• Studies using the compound in cell cultures, isolated tissues, and laboratory animals are conducted
• Company decides whether to pursue human testing
• Patent Term Restoration Act (1984)

IND Filing
• Before testing on humans can begin, the company must file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application
– FDA has 30 days to review the IND application
• The goal of the IND application is to provide pre-clinical data of sufficient quality to justify the testing of the drug in humans
• About 85% of all IND applications move on to begin clinical trials
Phase 1
• Concentrates on developing the drug’s safety profile
• Sample in this phase is small (less than 100 patients)
• How the drug is absorbed, distributed in the body, metabolized, and excreted
• Testing ranges from one to three years
Phase 2
• Consists of small, well-controlled experiments to evaluate the drug's safety and assess side effects
• Sample size of 100 – 300 patients who suffer from the disease
• This phase establishes the optimal dosage of the drug
• Phase 2 trials last an average of two years
Phase 3
• Verifies the effectiveness of the drug against the condition that it targets
• Continues to build the safety profile of the drug and record possible side effects and adverse reactions resulting from long-term use
• Sample size of at least 1000 patients – Double-Blinded– Randomization
• Testing averages between three and four years
NDA Filing
• Can contain up to 100,000 pages of data supporting the efficacy and safety of the drug
• At this point, the drug has better than a 70% chance of being approved by the FDA
• Approval of the NDA can take anywhere from two months to several years
• If approved the company may begin to market and distribute the drug
Phase 4
• Observational studies in an ongoing evaluation of the drug's safety during routine use
• Monitor any usage of the drug for conditions other than the approved medical indication
For The Investor
• The clinical trial process is costly as well as time-consuming
• $350 - $500 million to bring a drug through all phases of the clinical trial process
• Consider companies that already have: – one or more successful products on the market– a large pipeline of candidate drugs– plenty of cash to fund the development of their new drug
candidates
