Transcript of Haro Pharmaceutical I-Corps@NIH 121014
New Drug for the Treatment of
High Risk Neuroblastoma
ICORPS: FINAL 2014
Total interviews: 116 to date(90 FACE TO FACE)4 more scheduled to year end(1 interview on Dec 24th 12.30 pm!!!)
David Bettoun Ph.D.
C-level, Founder
Pharmaceutical preclinical expert transitioned
to C level biotech executive
Azriel Schmidt Ph.D.P.I
Pharmaceutical distinguished senior investigator
and project manager for 25 years
Lisa Malseed, Esq
IE
Biotech Executive 20 years
In the beginning… we thought multiple
indications with a market of 10B
Bifunctional compounds relevant to treatment of
certain cancers (TNBC and NEUROBLASTOMA),
autoimmunity, cachexia as well as live stock
development

ICORPS: FINAL 2014
BEFORE ICORPS
Our first canvas
Clinical Trial Consortia 4 (12 interviews)
Pharmaceutical and Biotech 11 (21 interviews)
Academic Pediatric Research Hospitals 24 (41 interviews)
So for 120 hours…
…We listened to experts from
CROs 6 (12 interviews)

patients

• Primary cells• Animal models• Recognition
Medical Relevant Key activity Met with Inventor and Users (5 interviews)
KOLs (15 interviews) are split on whether this model is still appropriate for new
compound testing
Unclear whether BOTH targets are well expressed Traditionial xenografts for
Neuroblastoma aresufficient
OtherModels
TransgenicTH-MYCN
Patient Derived human cell lines are the new gold standard (Kol/CRO)
UCSF lab has another xenographmodel with both targets
Jackson Lab has orphan group with xenograph models of neuroblastoma under development

Hypothesis of Development Path
Lead Optimization
• Med Chem
• In Vitro Efficacy
• Primary cells based efficacy and targets engagement.
• Benchmarking against known therapies in primary cells.
Animal Modeling
• Xenograft
• Orthotopic
• Genetically modified
• Standard model
Clinical
• Toxicology
• Engage clinical partners

Advocacy groups and Pharma all go through KOL to carry efficacy studies
Cost vs. potential revenueCosts
• COG will pay for IND filing and for phase-1/2 cost. Company provides testing material ($250K-$500K per kg) (Medical Director, Pediatric Cancer Foundation Developmental Therapeutics Program)
• Orphan status filing: $40K (Orphan consultant)
• Compound testing PDX mice $1,100 per mouse (Jackson Lab)
• Social media are fundamental game changers but companies must be careful in handling them. Global Director
Bio-CSL President IMPAX
Revenue
• Market potential for orphan drugs can be estimated by using cost of current care in view of clinical efficacy
• Current cost of treatment:
Families with debts in the $1M range in the US.
$250K Israel
€180K France
1 course of mAb treatment $250K-cash for non-US patients in US
• Find early on whether costs of drug development will match the potential revenues. Determine the potential
revenues by estimating the number of paying patients in the Western World and finding the prices of orphan
drugs with equivalent therapeutic efficacies. Professor of Economics, Temple University
• Multiple indications is a financial advantage. (Partner, Third Rock Ventures)
Keys to HaRo’s success are:Key Activities
• Clear achievable
clinical development
path. Bristol Meyer Squibb
– GCT, Oncology
• PoC in disease
relevant animal
model. Endo Pharma–Busi
Develop
• Trial must be
designed for an
existing and
available patient
population. Lankenau
Institute– Manager, Clinical
Trials
Key Resources
• Standard
neuroblastoma
animal model has
limitations with
respect to human
disease relevance. Jackson Laboratories –
modeling
• Medically relevant
models are essential. Endo, R&D Oncology
• Primary cell based
assay can go a long
way in generating
convincing data. NCI NIH
– cell based researcher
Value Proposition
• A functional proven
R&D team is a value
proposition. ICORP
experienced, Business
Development
• TNBC better VP for
business purpose.
Neuroblastoma
pending institutional
support and KOL
buying. Endo, R&D
Oncology.
• Value in
developing
bifunctional
compounds. Molecular
Genetic Pathologist, Genentech
