1 Expectation and Demands of Clinical Trial Capacity from Overseas-Status quo of Taiwan Professor Oliver Yoa-Pu Hu Ph.D. Dean Research and Development National Defense Medical Center Taipei, Taiwan, ROC. (Former Director-General of Bureau of Pharmaceutical Affairs, Department of Health, Taiwan) Kitasato-Harvard symposium Tokyo
2 CONDUCTING TRIALS IN TAIWAN CAN SUPPORT FDA/EMEA IND PROCESS Taiwan s Clinical Infrastructure is comparable with standards in US/EU High Level Compliance with ICH GCP- Two study sites (NCKUH 1 & TSGH 2 ) have been successfully inspected by US FDA Experienced Clinical Research Professionals-Qualified Investigators, Study Nurse and Clinical Research Associate in all phase of clinical trial Sufficient Patient Pool for all therapeutic fields for clinical study, Taiwan s population is about 23 million Study Cost-comparing with US/EU/JP, the cost can be reduced up to 30%~50% Global KOL/Expertise in Specific Therapeutic Area eg. Hepatitis B Simplified IRB Process-In selected hospitals, clinical trial application was reviewed biweekly through Joint Institutional Review Board (JIRB) Improved and Supportive Regulatory Environment for Clinical Trial- Improved regulatory review process and professional review unit - Center of Drug Evaluation (CDE) 1. National Chen Kung University Hospital 2. Tri-Service General Hospital 1
3 THE TAIWAN PHARMACEUTICAL MARKET Drivers Bureau of National Health Insurance recently raised health budget to 4.6% of GDP Developed economy and aging population may drive increased demand for drugs to treat chronic conditions Barriers Multinational companies (MNCs) already control roughly 70% of the Taiwan market, with 30% served by local generics producers Increasing pressure from BNHI on hospitals to keep drug costs low favors generics Reimbursement policies favor local generics through high reimbursement compared to novel drugs Taiwan pharmaceutical market USD Billions Other Respiratory Oncology CNS Infection Metabolic CV 7% CAGR Sources: IMS; Frost & Sullivan; team analysis 2

5 INITIATING CLINICAL TRIALS IN TAIWAN IS EFFICIENT AND RAPID Regulatory approval IRB approval Clinical trial conduct Trial protocols are submitted to the Bureau of Pharmaceutical Affairs of the Department of Health (DOH), which is assisted by the Center for Drug Evaluation, a non-profit organization DOH protocol review typically takes 30 days Fast-track approval is available for INDs that have already been approved in the U.S. Total clinical trial review time, including IRB review, averages 2-4 months Taiwan instituted a Joint Institutional Review Board (JIRB) in 1997 to provide a single entity for ethics review JIRB decisions are widely accepted by Taiwanese hospitals, although individual IRBs can request an independent review JIRB response takes approximately 25 working days Submissions to DOH and JIRB may be done simultaneously Adhere to ICH Good Clinical Practice guidelines, implemented in 1997 DOH inspects nearly all trials to ensure compliance Source: Pacific Bridge Medical 4
6 REGULATORY PROCESS IN TAIWAN IS EFFICIENT AND RESPONSIVE Clinical trial approval: 20 days No Protocol CDE review Sponsor Report DOH The review process may take meeting? 3-4 months in practice Meeting Yes The CDE is open to consultation meeting with sponsors that plan to conduct clinical trials in Taiwan NDA (new drug application) The government wishes to make the environment friendly for multinational companies to conduct clinical trials, in an effort to establish Taiwan as the center for clinical research in Asia NDA submission Filing meeting Review meeting Assessment report DOH Drug Review Board Conclusion Reject Additional information from sponsor Source: Center for Drug Evaluation, Taiwan 5
7 Volume of Clinical Trials in Asia Pacific Region - Taiwan is a major site allocated by big pharma Data accessed from on 17 Jan No. of Clinical Trials Singapore China Hong Kong Taiwan Thailand Korea Malaysia India Vietnam Indonesia Philippines Australia
8 To Facilitate Japan IND Process Kazuhiko Mori of PMDA mentioned Japan s acceptance of Taiwan, Korea and Singapore s data at 2nd Japan-Taiwan joint regulatory seminar on 3 Aug 2006 Faster drug registration in Japan could be exploited through Pan-Asia trials including Taiwan & Korea. MNCs such as Pfizer, Eli-Lilly have conducted clinical trials in Taiwan to facilitate Japan s subject recruitment and IND process 7
9 Reduce lead time for Taiwan NDA Process Can get local drug license within 3~6 months after getting FDA & EMEA approval if Taiwan join same protocol for the FDA/EMEA Phase IIIa pivotal clinical study for NDA or Phase I/II Binging study. Taiwan s early involvement in multinational Phase I, II & IIIb can also facilitate local NDA process to get local drug license within 12 months after getting FDA & EMEA approval Without participating in SPRI clinical trials, the lead time for Taiwan IND/NDA is unpredictable. 8
10 Pattern of Approach in Accepting Foreign clinical Data among Asian Countries (I) Japan, Korea and Taiwan: Bridging Study Evaluation based on ICH E5, Active players of APEC Network of Pharmaceutical Regulatory Science Joint Research Project on Bridging Study Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and Singapore: ASEAN mutual recognition in the future, accepting foreign clinical data now 9
11 Pattern of Approach in Accepting Foreign clinical Data among Asian Countries (II) China: Administrative Requirement for additional local clinical data Hong Kong: Accepting foreign clinical data, discuss with China for accepting H.K. data 10
12 APEC Network under ISTWG, since 1999 (2002, 2006) (2004) Chinese Taipei (2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007) Partnership in Harmonization with ICH 3 11
