Innovative research in KOLINPHARMA

Source: KOLINPHARMA 25

•KOLINPHARMA carries out a detailed study on the raw materials to know all their key characteristics, so that it is able to enhance its benefits (physicaland chemical properties, biological properties and known action mechanisms, human effects) and overcome its limits (physical-chemical and organolepticproperties, bio-availability).

•In the case of plant extracts, these are all standardized and appointed in the active substance that is responsible of the activity. All the raw materials arefirst appropriately dosed to be efficient, based on published scientific evidences.

•The research for new ingredients to be launched in a specific specialized area is constant, thanks to the exhaustive collaboration and the dense networkof suppliers (e.g. ASI in osteoarticular pain, CURCUMA technologically advanced in the orthopaedic and gynaecological fields).

Study of the formulation: choice of the pharmaceutical formula and of the most adequate excipients, evaluation of their compatibility with theactive raw materials, industrial scale-up, execution of stability studies according to harmonized protocols (ICH), suitability of the final product to theorganoleptic specificities and to the normative requirements.

KOLINPHARMA’s interest is shifting from conventional pharmaceutical formulas (e.g. tablets, capsules, hydro-soluble granulates) to innovative ones(e.g. buccal, sublingual, mucus-adhesive, etc.) in order to maximize the therapeutic efficiency of its products.

Exploitation of the final product:- High qualitative standards: the product needs to meet not only sector specific regulatory requirements (e.g. permitted ingredients, dosage of theexcipients), but also to quality and dietary requirements (HACCP of process and product, analytical plan of similar-pharmaceutical batch release);- Scientific validation (in vitro studies and human studies, designed internally and carry out with the collaboration of important research centres);- Patenting: the products need to satisfy the requirements of INNOVATIVE ACTIVITY, INNOVATION AND COMMERCIABILITY. Today KOLINPHARMA canboast 6 filed patent applications in Italy, extended also to foreign countries; 4 of these are granted Italian patents and one in the process ofpublication.

FUTURE OBJECTIVES: to launch on the market new products characterized by an innovative formula, scientifically validated, together with a patent application, all meeting high quality and control standards for consumers.

COMMENTS

Sales growth (€ 2.5 million in 2016 and € 4.1 million in2017) was linked to: development of the commercial network (from 35 to

58 MSIs as of December 31st, 2017); increase of the number of prescriptions by the

medical class; prices increase of 3% with respect to the previous

year.

EBITDA margin improved from 10.5% in 2016 to 14.8%in 2017, mainly thanks to: lower incidence of samples’ costs (free trial samples).

With the consolidation of KOLINPHARMA within thenutraceutical market, the necessity of promotingproducts through samples’ distribution decreases;

on the contrary an increase in R&D costs andpersonnel costs (employees went from 8 to 12 as ofDecember 31st, 2017) was registered.

Break-even point was reached at EBIT level and almostreached at net result level.

The Medical Manager has to validate that every kind of communication to thephysician is coherent, valuable and demonstrated.

There is no clinical study without an involved mathematical figure in the analysis of the collected data. The more complex are the protocoland the geography of the data collected by the KOL physicians involved in the clinical studies, the more necessary is to have a statistician thatcan represent the trial results through appropriate communication tools, that will be brought to the physician. The studies can be real-life,monocentral or multicentre, observational, … etcetera.
