BPTC Approach to Capacity Analysis
Bottom-up methodology• Plant-by-plant estimation of capacity “supply”• Product-by-product and dose-driven estimation of
“demand”Probability weighting factors• Accounting for multiple products targeting same
indication• Assumptions for probability of success and time to
marketMarket differentiation• Microbial and mammalian cell culture markets• Clinical and commercial markets
Apply Monte-Carlo analysis to quantify probability of predicted outcomes

Material Requirements – Commercial
Highly product dependentFor microbial fermentation-derived products, commercial requirements range from:• ~10 g/yr (e.g., Infergen) to…• ~5,000 kg/yr (Novolin)• Most products require 0.5 – 50 kg/yr
For mammalian cell culture-derived products, commercial requirements range from:• ~10 g/yr (e.g., Bexxar/Zevalin) to…• ~750 kg/yr (Rituxan)• Most non-antibody products require <10 kg/yr• Most antibody products require 10 – 500 kg/yr
From Clone to Clinic®
Trends in Commercial Product Requirements
Fastest growing segment is monoclonal antibodies• Growth rate > 40% per year
Trend for commercial products is from agonists to antagonists• Larger volume, less expensive ($/g) products

Capacity shown based on equivalent fed-batch basis for perfusion productsBase analysis assumes no changes in current volumetric productivitiesPotential 3X process improvements for Enbrel, Erbitux, and Rituxan could result in 35% decrease in demand by 2010• 29.4 ML (no improvement) vs. 19.0 ML (predicted improvement)
Further process improvements in other products could decreasedemand for existing products even further
From Clone to Clinic®
Why Invest in Process Improvement?
Regulatory environment becoming more supportive• Risk-based GMP initiatives• Comparability protocols• Increasing number of post-approval process changes
Significant technical advances enable dramatic increases in volumetric productivities for mammalian cell culture processes• High expressing cell lines• Media development and optimization• Improvements in downstream processing• Increases in basic operating efficiencies can improve
volumetric productivities without requiring major process changes
From Clone to Clinic®
Why Invest in Process Improvement?
Financial returns are compelling for improvements to older large volume processes• At $400/g, manufacturing costs for a 500 kg/yr MAb
represent $200 Million per year or more• A significant increase in volumetric productivity can
easily be expected to provide savings of 20% or more− 3X process improvements could lower bioreactor
capacity demand by 35%• Payback time for a successful $30 Million
comparability program to implement a higher yielding process could be less than one year.

Monte Carlo Simulation – Assumptions and Methods
Using data from most probable scenario as starting point, calculate a probable range of output scenarios based on 3,000 independent calculations using random values from within the defined probability ranges for each of the following input variables
• Approval - Yes/No− Yes frequency based on stage of development
• Overall Yield− Includes expression level and purification yield− Normal distribution using standard deviation
• Patient population− Normal distribution with increasing standard deviation

Product-by-product approach unlikely to successfully predict outcome:• 10 years ago (1995), OKT-3 and ReoPro were the only approved
antibody products• Most meaningful products from a manufacturing capacity
perspective were in pre-clinical/early clinical developmentDevelop new model based on indication and treatment prevalence to forecast manufacturing requirements over a longer time horizon
From Clone to Clinic®
Overall ConclusionsSupply expansion will result in more large-scale players with a broader distribution of capacity• PDCs retain approximately 75 – 80% of total industry
capacityAs volumetric productivities increase, bioreactor capacity may no longer be throughput-limiting in many facilities• Future efforts should focus on improving downstream
processingOverall, the demand for cell culture volumetric capacity will likely continue to grow for the foreseeable future• Process improvements will act to reduce demand• Sales growth and new product approvals will act to increase
demand• On industry-wide aggregate basis, capacity supply meets
demand requirements; however, absent significant process yield improvements, utilization industry-wide is likely to increase
From Clone to Clinic®
Overall ConclusionsThe range of supply-demand scenarios over the next 5 – 10 years is significant, influenced by:
− Process yields− Time to approval−Market penetration− Success rates−Operational efficiency
Development of effective manufacturing strategies requires methods for defining the risk of supply shortages and anticipating demand increases• Monte Carlo simulations provide one means of
defining this risk
