WHO WILL LEAD

PHARMA LICENSING DEALS IN 2018?

Top 10 companies by partnership and licensing deal values completed in 2017

CO M PLIAN CE CO LU M N

Claim to fame or failed campaign Making suitable claims on cosmetics products can be tricky. Jill Gardiner tackles this issue in the second edition of the P C Review Compliance Column.

C THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY is highly volatile with promising lead candidates making or breaking a company’s year.

According to GlobalData, the financial success of companies is often down to the strategic deals they can make with other pharmaceutical companies and research organisations to enable their drug development strategies.

The US$8.5 billion agreement between AstraZeneca and Merck to co-develop AstraZeneca’s Lynparza (olaparib) for multiple cancer types put the two companies at the top for strategic alliance spending in 2017. AstraZeneca just clinched the top spot from Merck with its development deals with Pieris Pharmaceuticals and MedImmune.

Lisa Marris, healthcare analyst at GlobalData, comments: ‘Despite this, Merck had an arguably more successful year.

It more than quadrupled its alliance deal values since 2016, and if its subsidiaries are added to the equation, its 2017 deal values rise to US$9.5 billion, an increase of 248 percent from 2016, whereas AstraZeneca and its subsidiaries stayed almost stagnant at US$11 billion.’

Pieris Pharmaceuticals also had good year, making alliances in 2017 worth more than 35 times to those made in 2016.

However, it is unlikely to do as well this year, as the 2017 value was primarily due to its US$2.2 billion co-development deal with AstraZeneca, alongside a US$1.8 billion licensing agreement with Les Laboratoires Servier.

She continues: ‘The development agreement with AstraZeneca will help Pieris enhance its inhaled drug candidates for respiratory diseases, whereas the collaboration with Servier will advance Pieris’ immune-oncology programmes, led primarily by PRS-332, a PD-1-targeting bispecific checkpoint inhibitor.’

Allergan and Novartis both experienced slower years than 2016, with decreases in partnership and licensing deal value by 44 and five percent respectively. However, both companies still

laims always need to be made in a cosmetic sense and not a medicinal sense and should be guided by Appendix B of the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) Code of Practice.

The cosmetic context has the typical characteristics of: • temporary action • i mprovement of the appearance of the skin • to be used regularly to maintain the effect • t he effect is aimed at grooming and enhancing the appearance of the skin texture.

The medicinal context has the typical characteristics of: • permanent or drastic effects after completion of a treatment • healing or curative effects • to be used restrictively because of potency of the treatment • t he effect is aimed at treatment of or relieving a disease condition.

Armed with this information, you are now ready to determine acceptable claims for cosmetics. However, you are not out of the woods yet, as all claims require substantiation. So, what does this entail?

• Claims relating to points of difference must have appropriate scientific substantiation defined as: Substantiation based on statistically valid data, employing a validated, proven, scientific method and applicable to the claim being made.

• Scientific substantiation will be judged according to international standards.

Once you have your substantiation in place it is critical to review the claims to ensure that you have not created any unacceptable claims. So, what are unacceptable claims?

These are claims that are used and not substantiated, or claim statements not worded in a cosmetic sense.

In general, no cosmetic claims for products used on mucous membranes (except the mouth) will be allowed.

Claims suggesting permanent effects of cosmetics may not be used, e.g. permanent improvement, reversal of deterioration etc.

Substantiation is key in the claim to fame or failed campaign game. You must always ensure the substantiation provided is adequate to support the claim. Do not allow marketing to tweak the claim so that it sounds more grand or convincing, but is no longer substantiated, as this could be your downfall.

In the next Compliance Column, we will take a closer look at those specific claim areas that lend themselves to scrutiny by competitors and consumers. Join us in July to find out more. •

closed big deals in 2017. Ultimately, GlobalData expects 2018 is likely to be Merck’s year in terms of R&D collaboration.

Afriplex spreads its wings up north To facilitate the company’s current marketing drive and to create awareness of its products and services, Afriplex opened an office in Johannesburg and appointed a director of business development.

H

aving a Gauteng office will not only help Afriplex meet the needs of new and existing customers in the region, but also ensures service excellence for its customers in KwaZulu-Natal. The company’s head office and manufacturing facility are based in Paarl, in the Western Cape, so it has appointed Wayne Robinson, director of business development, to oversee the running of the Gauteng office.

Previously, Robinson was the sales, operations and technical director as well as responsible pharmacist at a leading pharmaceutical and personal care contract manufacturer. He is also the director of scientific and regulatory affairs for the Health Products Association (HPA), is the HPA’s ITGCAMS representative and sits on the Industry Task Group that meets and interacts with the South African Health Products Regulatory

SERVICES TO ENSURE QUALITY PRODUCTS TO CONSUMERS Quality is not something stamped onto a product at the end of the line, it’s a crucial element in a product’s lifecycle. To ensure the consumer has access to quality products, Afriplex offers the following services to its customers: • inter- and post-production quality analysis • compiling of common technical documents (CTDs) • accelerated and longterm stability studies.

Authority (SAHPRA), previously known as the Medicines Control Council (MCC) and the Department of Health on regulatory matters.

He comments: ‘I was drawn to Afriplex by the company’s proactive approach to want to comply with the CAMs regulations. Afriplex’s full GMP quality standards are comparable to some manufacturers of allopathic medicines.

The instrument laboratory at its Cape Town facility is home to two high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) machines with a third on its way. Apart from HPLC testing, the company does thin layer chromatography analysis, which is a new testing method that very few laboratories in South Africa are equipped to perform.’

Robinson’s appointment will play a significant role in expanding and servicing the company’s customer base through use of his invaluable skills, experience and knowledge in the pharmaceutical, CAMs and food industries. His leadership and guidance will also strengthen and motivate the existing Afriplex team.

He will also assist the company with its GMP upgrade proccess to secure its SAHPRA license.

‘To reach GMP compliance, you need to think outside the box. Afriplex is almost there,’ he explains. ‘I’ve visited the company’s Cape Town facility a few times and given compliance advice.

This has been implemented proactively to achieve the level of compliance required for CAMs manufacturing with the long-term view of achieving the level of GMP compliance required for pharmaceuticals.’

SYMPOSIUM HEADS TO JHB As part of its 2018 activities, the biennial Afriplex Technical Symposium will be hosted in Gauteng during the third quarter.

The conference programme is set to feature esteemed local and international speakers, who will discuss topics that add value and relevance to the South African pharmaceutical landscape. Presentations will include talks on the manufacturing of cannabis-related pharmaceutical products for both medicinal and research purposes.

In addition, Afriplex’s quality services and products will be showcased during the symposium. The programme, date and venue will be forwarded to clients and guests in due course.

Afriplex’s presence in Gauteng is in line with the company’s commitment to adding value to its customers’ businesses – a commitment demonstrated by the Afriplex quality standards, its new product development drive and the recent facility upgrades.

In the meantime, the South African pharma industry is committed to continued participation in clinical trials, ensuring data from our diverse population contributes to growing new treatments.

The pharma industry has a very proactive approach to the changes and is seeking to partner early on with the relevant stakeholders to ensure patient access to the best treatments in a changing healthcare space.
