Grand Hyatt Shanghai New Growth Models For China At the PharmAsia Summit Shanghai, Elsevier and BayHelix will focus on new R&D and commercial models in a rapidly changing China. Given demographic changes and China's massive health care reforms, opportunities abound - but so do potential pitfalls. Tapping the unmet medical need present in China provides Pharma with one of its few growth bright spots. But achieving this growth will require new models and flexibility: smaller cities are now growing faster than Tier I cities presenting logistical challenges; off-patent medications are under severe pricing pressure, which could limit the widespread uptake of branded generics. While support for biopharma innovation is a major government goal, so is curbing healthcare inflation. How can Pharmas collaborate and thrive in this environment? At the PharmAsia Summit, top industry leaders from China and the West will discuss new growth models for China via a series of case studies, panels and keynotes. To kick-off the Summit, we will release our 2 nd annual PharmAsia Summit Report, an in-depth analysis of trends critical to biopharmaceutical development and commercialization in the China market, authored by our knowledge partner, McKinsey & Co. Inc. The agenda for the PharmAsia Summit is developed by an organizing committee chaired by Steve Yang, PhD, VP, Head of Asia and Emerging Markets imed, AstraZeneca PLC.

9:30-10:45AM KEYNOTE PANEL Defining A China-based Innovation Strategy: Should Early Stage R&D Be A Priority? The question was never if China would produce innovative products but when and what kind. As the market in China evolves, the notion of innovation is changing. Skeptics wonder if R&D groups have the internal capabilities required to translate early stage science into novel pharmaceutical products and whether the Chinese government will pay for them if they do. Instead of trying to create a second-wave of Eastern-researched blockbusters, why not focus on health care services and fast-follower molecules, tailored to the huge unmet medical needs that exist in the country today? In this session, heads of China R&D from multinationals and domestic companies discuss the R&D opportunities that make the most sense now.

11:15-12:15PM The New Goldrush: Biologics Investment in China Improving infrastructure, government funding, and local demand for products to treat complex diseases are driving private equity investment in China s nascent biologics sector. But the dearth of manufacturing capacity, the challenging regulatory environment, weak IP protection, and still developing R&D capabilities cause some to wonder just how golden is China s biologics opportunity? Panel participants will discuss how best to leverage China s growing biologics capabilities and resources while minimizing the execution challenges.

12:15-1:15PM Regulatory Insight: Strategies to Accelerate the Time To Market SFDA s so-called Green Channel allows drug sponsors to formally consult with the regulatory body in an effort to speed up the notoriously slow China drug approvals process. Now SFDA, and its successor CFDA, appears ready to take the channel one step further, proposing a parallel system that simultaneously reviews investigational new drug applications and ethical committee evaluations. In this panel discussion we review not just the current workings of the Green Channel, but other strategies, including joint venture structures and Asia-based clinical trial designs, which multi-nationals can use to accelerate the development time line to launch products more rapidly in China.

2:30-3:30PM Debate: What s Needed Now To Support Early Stage China Biotechs Perhaps the biggest challenge facing early stage biotechs in China is the dearth of private equity to finance them. This capital dry spell has VCs and execs worried that the U.S. s famed Valley of Death is rapidly sickening China-based biotechs as well. Skeptics scoff, likening such talk to Chicken Little s claim that the sky is falling. They argue the lack of available financing is explained by a simpler reason: there just aren t many new opportunities that are scientifically compelling and can deliver the needed ROI. In this hour-long session, top executives will debate strategies that are best suited to move early stage biotechs to the growth phase of their life cycles.

4:30-5:45PM BD in China: Why Now Is The Time To Partner With Domestics (PAS/PSA Showcase Panel) Government reform initiatives, pricing pressures, and slowing growth in Tier 1 cities make it difficult for multinationals to sustain their current China growth rates organically. To succeed, MNCs have sought alliances with Chinese domestic pharmas to access their commercial channels and are changing their approaches to partnering in the region. At the same time China-based entities are making inroads in their quest for access to innovative molecules and platforms, including presenting internally developed assets to US regulators. In this panel discussion, you ll hear from experts at multinationals and domestic outfits about deal-making in today s China, not only with each other, but with parties seeking to access new capabilities across the value chain. What kinds of alliances are today s hottest China-based deal makers most interested in pursuing? What deal structures work best to promote a given strategy?

One solution: work with local insurers to design supplemental commercial insurance that patients can tap if they need medicines that aren t listed on the National Drug Reimbursement List. It s a strategy that s been highly successful for Roche, which saw its China-based product sales skyrocket 27% in 2012. Alternatively, there s the opportunity to partner with wealthier provinces to reimburse therapies in high priority diseases, particularly liver, lung, and gastric cancer. In exchange for patient volume, biopharmas would provide provincial governments with significant rebates and patient assistance. This panel highlights innovative experiments designed to bridge China s affordability gap.

10:30-11:00AM 11:00-12:15PM Networking Break Pricing Pressure: Winning Strategies In An Era Of Cost Containment There s always been an art to pricing pharmaceutical products; in China, however, this artistry reaches new heights. A national pricing scheme sets maximum retail prices for reimbursed drugs, and then mandates periodic cuts. At the provincial level, China s 31 provinces have competitive tenders, each with their own rules to determine the value of a drug. Inter-provincial reference pricing and hospital protocols that require formulary listing or cap annual reimbursement further complicate the process. To top it off, China recently expanded its Essential Drug List (EDL) to cover more than 500 new products, including off-patent China blockbusters. Against this backdrop, pharma companies are testing new strategies to thrive in an era of increasing cost pressures.
