MINISTER’S FOREWORD

Bright Future for BioPharma in Ireland Ireland is in a strong position to benefit from new trends in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industry as the connectedness between companies and researchers increases, writes Richard Bruton TD, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.

ew people close to the industry need reminding of the key role that the pharma sector plays in the Irish economy:

• •

Ireland is the world’s largest net exporter of pharmaceuticals, with exports valued at €56 billion. Nine of the top 10 Pharmaceutical and 17 of the top 25 Medical Technology companies have significant operations in Ireland. The industry contributes total tax receipts of €3 billion annually to the Irish economy. 50,000 people are directly employed in life sciences in Ireland, with an equivalent number employed in service provision to the industry.

Ireland has remained at the forefront of the pharma sector globally over recent decades and has proven to be a key location for many companies in this area. A notable aspect of recent investments in this area has been the arrival of a number of exciting new companies investing in Ireland for the first time and looking to develop and

manufacture innovative new products in Ireland. These companies have made extremely significant investments in the construction of high tech facilities, creating employment in the specialised process engineering industry and the construction industry and bringing vibrancy, diversity and growth to the sector. In the drive to make Ireland the location of choice, my Department and IDA Ireland are also working to ensure the availability of suitable property solutions through the provision of advance facilities. Companies such as Regeneron, Alexion, Ethicon and Biomarin, have all cited the Government’s flagship National Institute for Bioprocess Research and Training (NIBRT) as a key determinant in their choice of Ireland as a location for investment. Our indigenous life sciences sector has also performed strongly, now consisting of over 250 companies, supported by my Department through Enterprise Ireland. In 2013, this sector contributed over €1billion in sales, €760m in exports and employed over 6,000 people. Research Prioritisation In February 2012, the Government

Sector overview

Worst Effects of Patent Cliff Behind Us While the Patent Cliff had a significant impact on pharma exports, particularly last year, the signs in 2014 are that its worst effects are behind us and Ireland can look to the future with confidence, writes Matt Moran, Director, PharmaChemical Ireland.

!"##"$%&'

uch has been written around the Patent Cliff and its impact on the sector here and the consequent impact on national Gross Domestic Product (GDP) numbers. A brief analysis of the export figures tell us that the worst effects of this were seen in 2013, when the total exports from the sector fell by around €5 billion to just over €50 billion in that year. This represented a fall of over 8% from 2012. The number had fallen by just under 2% in 2012 over 2011, as the impacts of the cliff were starting to manifest themselves. The reasons for this have been well rehearsed at this stage, so there is no need to go over this ground again: a number of high profile blockbuster drugs coming to the end of their patent life. With medicinal and pharmaceutical products accounting for over 50% of the national exports of goods that leave this country, much attention has been directed towards this number. However, a look at the first six months of this year gives cause for cautious optimism - see Table 1.

Chart 1 shows that for both categories, the volume of exports is trending upwards again. This has positive effects on the annual growth rates, which can be seen in Table 1. For chemicals and allied products exports, the annual growth rates in May and June increased strongly by

likely that this will result in the creation of over 2,000 new direct jobs in the sector, not to mention the additional indirect employment that will be created, as well as the construction jobs created during the development of these facilities. It is worth sitting back and viewEuro millions

about the medium to long term future of the sector. But this is only half the story. Another impact of the cliff and general overcapacity in the sector has been a number of high profile mergers, which have undoubtedly had impact in this country, with a corresponding number of high profile plant closures. Balanced against this has been a more or less continuous stream of new investments over the past couple of years. In the main, these investments are in biopharmaceutical manufacturing or high end chemical synthesis or product and process development. Table 2 lists a number of these. As one can see from the table, just under €2.25 billion in new capital investment is in the process of being invested in the country as I write. It is

ing these investments a little more closely. They fall into two broad categories. 1.Expansion of Existing Operations. These are investments made by existing companies who have operated successfully in this country for some time. These tend to fall into two further categories: product or process development and advanced or biopharmaceutical manufacture. Advanced manufacture would include high potency synthesis with options for continuous or plug and play operations, such as the new synthesis plant recently opened by Pfizer at their Ringaskiddy facility, which is actually a retrofit of an older, phased out plant. This is an excellent example of a plant

moving in tandem with cutting edge developments in the space at a global level. MSD at Ballydine have established a state-of-the-art product development facility, co-located with their chemical synthesis plant. This is concentrating on drug development and chemical synthesis. Abbvie in Sligo have completed investment in pharmaceutical manufacture to the tune of over €85m. Mylan are investing €75m per annum over a five year period to 2016 in developing their pharmaceutical capabilities in Dublin and Galway. Biopharmaceutical manufacturing that incorporates all aspects of utilising genetic engineering techniques to produce, purify, formulate and package large molecules, such as monoclonal antibodies, is recognised as a very important emerging technology for the future of the pharmaceutical industry. It is vital that Ireland is a major player in this arena. The recent explosion of investment in this field in this country has pushed Ireland to second place behind the USA as a centre for the manufacture and development of such products. There have been a number of high profile investments in this space; Eli Lilly will invest €330m in a second biomanufacturing facility at their Kinsale campus. What makes the Eli Lilly investment even more interesting is that fact that it is co-located with existing chemical manufacture, making this site unique in Ireland and Europe. Eli Lilly continue to invest in product and process development at the Co. Cork site, making them a living example of the development plus manufacturing strategy espoused in the PharmaChemical Ireland series of strategic plans, discussed at length in previous articles here. Allergan continue on their journey of being the primary manufacturing and development location for the California based corporation by investing €350m in a new biologics facility in Westport. They intend to employ an additional 200 in this, bringing their total headcount well over the 1,000 mark, making them a vital part of the local economy in Co. Mayo. The Pfizer Biopharmaceutical manufacturing site at Grangecastle in Dublin continues to be central to the future development of their biotech portfolio, leading the company to invest a further €200m at that site. Meanwhile, companies like MSD at Brinny, Genzyme-Sanofi in

Sector overview

Waterford, and Amgen in Dublin continue to invest in their biotech operations. 2. New Greenfield Investments Making up the rest the capital being invested by the industry in the country are a number of new companies. These are generally emerging biotech companies, who tend to specialise in the rare or orphan disease space, similar to Genzyme, who established in Ireland a number of years ago. These are very high value products aimed at diseases of unmet therapeutic need in the main. The value of these products means that they can achieve blockbuster or close to blockbuster status relatively quickly and from a national perspective can replace revenues lost as a result of the patent cliff. A prime example of this would be Alexion, founded in 1992, whose drug, Soliris has been developed to treat paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical haemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS). Alexion have embarked on a three-phase investment in Ireland. They purchased part of the original Elan plant in Athlone to establish aseptic filling operations in the country. This has been followed by a €75m investment at two locations in Dublin to establish supply chain, warehousing, laboratory and packaging operations. They plan to employ 300 in the country by 2016. Regeneron, established in New York in 1988, has purchased the original Dell facility in Limerick and will bring a much needed investment of €220m to that city, creating 300 jobs in the process. Regeneron, who already have offices in Dublin, will build a brand new biopharmaceutical manufacturing plant there. Regeneron are also part of the new wave of US based biotech companies. Biomarin purchased the existing Pfizer biotechnology campus in Rinkaskiddy, Co. Cork, and will create 100 jobs there. Biomarin are based in California and specialise in enzyme replacement therapies. Jazz Pharmaceuticals plan to invest €50m, creating 50 new jobs, at a manufacturing site in Athlone. Jazz specialise in narcolepsy, hemotology, oncology and psychiatry. Conclusion It is possible to conclude, therefore, that the biopharmaceutical and chemical sectors remain strong in Ireland.

New capital investment in Ireland's pharma sector culd lead to the creation of 2000 new jobs.

The Patent Cliff did impact exports, as PharmaChemical Ireland predicted a number of years ago. However, the strategic response of the sector, which PharmaChemical Ireland has led, through publication and execution on its strategic plan, appears to be bearing fruit. The sharp fall-off in exports experienced between 2011 and 2013 seems to be tapering off quickly and the

significant level of investment in new cutting edge manufacture, bolstered by a much greater emphasis on product and process development here, will result in a boost to economic activity in the sector in the medium term. The renewed emphasis on development will result in the generation of more local know-how and intellectual capital, which can only bode well for the long term future of the sector.

The fall-off in pharma exports in 2011 and 2013 seems to be tapering off quickly.

At Roche we focus on developing medicines and diagnostics that will help patients live longer, better lives.

Excellence with Impact

Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) has played an instrumental role in enhancing Ireland’s international reputation as a prominent force in the pharmaceutical arena. This has been achieved by strategically investing in research teams who generate new knowledge, leading-edge technologies and competitive enterprises in the fields of science and engineering.

reland is building a reputation as a world leader in scientific research capability, continuously climbing the international citation and innovation rankings to be in the top 20 countries overall for citations, while achieving rankings of 1st, 3rd and 4th in Immunology, Nanoscience and Computer Science research respectively. 2013 saw Ireland receive a special mention from leading scientific journal, Nature Magazine, as one of five ‘Up and Coming’ destinations for high level research based on the quality and quantity of scientific research being carried out in our Higher Education Institutes. Ireland is committed to funding excellent and impactful research. SFI supports over 450 leading researchers who are involved in 2,000 national and international collaborations across 48 countries. There have also been a number of key highlights for SFI over the past year. 2013 was an outstanding and productive year for the organisation and the research community it supports. SFI succeeded in meeting all of its targets under the Government’s Action Plan for Jobs, while its remit was further expanded under the Industrial Development (Science Foundation Ireland) (Amendment) Act. Some of the key highlights are listed below: •

•

Seven new world leading research centres delivered through €300m investment from SFI and over 150 companies – the largest collaborative research programme in the history of Ireland. SFI invested €152m in 307 new research awards to 20 institutions in Ireland.

• •

•

2,656 researchers supported through SFI programmes in 2013. 54 patents registered, 27 technologies licensed and four spin-off companies created. SFI awards directly supported over 900 collaborations with industry.

THE SFI STRATEGY – AGENDA 2020 Agenda 2020, SFI’s ambitious seven-year strategic plan, lays out four key goals, the strategies for achieving them, and the performance indicators that will be used to measure SFI’s progress.

RECENT SFI RELATED INVESTMENTS – SFI RESEARCH CENTRES: Some of the most significant SFI pharma-related investments include: •

•

The Alimentary Pharmabiotic Centre (APC) led by Prof. Fergus Shanahan, at APC and with coinvestigators in UCC, Teagasc Moorepark Food Research Centre, Mercy University Hospital, Cork University Hospital and Cork Institute of Technology, investigates the close links between diet, the microbiota and health status. The Centre aims to provide the necessary scientific basis for the selection of health-promoting bacteria and food constituents for incorporation into ‘functional foods’ for improved health, and which can support the development of novel bioactives to treat intestinal and infectious diseases. The research undertaken by the APC will address important societal issues, such as disease prevention, improved cognition and healthy ageing and is supported by food, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries. INFANT, Irish Centre for Fetal and Neonatal Translational Research, is led by Prof. Louise Kenny, Prof. Geraldine Boylan at UCC, with co-PIs based in Tyndall National Institute at UCC, Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI). The INFANT team is a diverse group of doctors and scientists who are supported

by strong industry partners, international collaborators and business and regulatory advisors. Over the last five years, the team has collaborated to develop screening and diagnostic tests and novel methods of monitoring pregnancy and newborns and the team members have become international leaders in this area. INFANT will focus on fasttracking discoveries to the bedside by serving as a hub for innovation, spanning three of the major priority areas outlined in the Research Prioritisation Report: Diagnostics, Medical Devices and Connected Health. These areas are associated with large global markets that have a strong Irish base. •

The Synthesis & Solid State Pharmaceutical Centre (SSPC) is led by Prof. B.K. Hodnett. The overarching aim of the SSPC2 Centre will be to better understand mechanisms, control processes and predict outcomes for the efficient and environmentally sustainable production of safe medicines. This will be achieve by utilising a “molecule-to-medicine” approach that encompasses chemical synthesis, crystal engineering, and drug production and manufacture. A total of 19 individual projects will be carried out, which all fall under one of three main themes:

1. New Frontiers in Pharmaceutical Synthesis: efficient synthetic routes and processes for molecules that are precursors to potential pharmaceutically relevant materials; 2. Crystal Growth and Design: studying the physical characteristics of crystalline materials and their interactions to understand how to utilise them most effectively as active pharmaceutical ingredients; 3. Drug Product Formulation and Manufacture: using science- and engineering-based knowledge to optimise solid state pharmaceutics and produce new and improved drug formulations. SFI INDUSTRY FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME Earlier this year, SFI announced funding of €1.7m to support 20 new industryacademia partnerships through the SFI Industry Fellowship Programme. The

funding will provide researchers from academic institutions with the opportunity to gain important first-hand experience in an industry research environment, while also providing industry with access to highly specialised trained researchers from academic institutions. The aim of the programme is to increase levels of collaboration between industry and academia. SFI covers the salary costs of the Industry Fellows and the Fellowships can be awarded to academic researchers wishing to spend time in industry anywhere in the world and to individuals from industry worldwide wishing to spend time in an eligible Irish research body. Of the 20 partnerships receiving funding, examples include Dr Mark Tangney of UCC, who is taking part in a programme with Perkin Elmer Inc., and Dr Annette Byrne of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), who will be seconded to Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals’ Global Medical Affairs (GMA) Oncology Division in the US. THE FUTURE FOR RESEARCH The next 12 months will see SFI continue to build industry partnerships that fund excellent scientific research that will drive both economic and societal benefits, not least of which is further job creation in areas of strategic importance for Ireland. SFI will also begin to leverage the enormous potential that ‘Horizon 2020’ offers and build partnerships that will make it possible for Ireland to maximize success under the programme.

Biotechnology

Ireland: A Home for Orphan Medicinal Products Ireland is well positioned at the forefront of the development of orphan medicinal products, writes Jenny Loughney, Director, Irish BioIndustry Association, PharmaChemical Ireland.

rphan medicinal products are an important and growing category of health care biotechnology. The international rare disease research community is making a significant effort to work collaboratively to support the development of orphan products in the diagnosis, cure and management of rare diseases. The International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC), initiated by the European Commission and the US National Institutes for Health, was launched in April 2011. This consortium aims to deliver 200 new therapies for rare disease by 2020, as well as the means to diagnose most rare diseases. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) is the decision-making body for market authorisation of orphan medicines in Europe. The European Medicines Agency Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) reviews applications for products seeking ‘orphan medicinal product designation’. To qualify for orphan designation, a medicine must be intended for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of a life-threatening or chronically debilitating condition affecting no more than 5 in 10,000 people in the EU at the time of submission of the designation application. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) run a similar designation scheme. Stimulating Research and Development The designation of Orphan Medicinal Product status from these bodies stimulates research and development of orphan drugs through incentives that include scientific advice and market exclusivity for a given period post author-

isation. This designation process brings hope to some 30m Europeans and their families affected by one of many rare diseases. In response to a recommendation by The European Council, in 2014 The Department of Health published its National Rare Disease Plan for Ireland 2014-2018. To ensure continuity, efforts were made to integrate elements of European and global best practice as set out by key lead agencies at European level, including EURORDIS and EUROCERD. Below are some of initial recommendations made under the National Rare Disease Plan for Ireland: •

The establishment of a national clinical program for rare diseases; • Designation of centres of expertise; • Establishment of a national office for rare diseases; • Conduction of a coherent system to conduct broad epidemiological surveillance of rare disease in Ireland; • Exploration into the potential for industry collaboration in research relevant to rare diseases, particularly with regard to research relevant to the diagnosis, treatment and management of rare disease; • Early dialogue between the Health Service Executive (HSE) and companies who are running clinical trials in Ireland with Irish patients where license approval is imminent; • Potential to offer sponsors an incentive to run trials in Ireland, increasing access to innovation for Irish patients. At present, orphan drugs and technologies exist for only a fraction of known rare diseases. Many rare disease

patients find themselves in the position that there is no licensed treatment available for their condition anywhere in the world. Enhancing the development of new orphan drugs and technologies forms a distinct goal for rare disease strategies. Below are examples of three leading innovation companies active in this space in Ireland. Opsona Therapeutics Opsona Therapeutics is one of Europe's most innovative and dynamic drug development companies. At the forefront of drug development in immunology research, they have consistently validated and developed a series of exciting new drug candidates and strategies which modulate the human innate

immune system, since their foundation in 2004. In April 2013, Opsona were successful in raising €33m in Series C equity financing. Furthermore, in October of the same year, Opsona Therapeutics raised an additional €3m from Omnes Capital in Series C extension, resulting in a total financing round of €36m. The proceeds of this Series C financing will supplement funding to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of its lead product OPN-305 in renal transplant patients at high risk of Delayed Graft Function (DGF) as the first clinical indication for the development of OPN-305. Opsona's lead product, OPN305 is a humanised monoclonal IgG4 antibody targeting Toll-like-receptor-2 (TLR2). There are no other treatments for DGF and this gives the compound the potential to have a significant effect on the quality of life in the relevant patient group. In 2014, OPN-305 was granted EMA and FDA orphan drug status. Developed since 2005, studies have confirmed that it works in animals and an initial clinical trial in healthy humans has shown it is safe. Now, as part of the EU-funded project MABSOT, the drug will be tested on a number of patients. This will be a proof-of-concept clinical trial. For this trial, OPN-305 will be given to organ recipients along with the existing standard treatment. Altogether, 50 medical centres in the US and Europe will be involved in this Phase II trial, with 270 patients opting to be involved. BioMarin In 2014, Ireland welcomed the launch by global biotechnology company BioMarin of the next phase of its investment at its manufacturing operations in Shanbally, Co. Cork. In addition to moves already underway to create 100 new jobs, the company plans to create a further 40 positions by 2015. The Cork site will manufacture products to treat rare genetic diseases. The California based company specialises in enzyme replacement therapies and in 2014, BioMarin received approval from the FDA and The European Commission for VIMIZIM® (elosulfase alfa), an enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of patients with the lysosomal storage disorder Morquio A syndrome, which is an ultrarare, severely debilitating disease that

affects an estimated 3,000 patients in the developed world. The disease occurs as a result of a deficiency of activity in an enzyme involved in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) metabolism. The accumulation of GAGs leads to significant morbidities and multisystemic clinical impairments, resulting in diminished functional capacity, impaired quality of life and early mortality. VIMIZIM® addresses the condition at the cellular level, fulfilling a large unmet need, and represents an advance for Morquio A patients and their families. As a result of this approval, BioMarin has also expanded its Dublin Global Commercial Operations Hub. The Dublin operation has responsibility for international supply chain, logistics and high level commercial decision making, which includes price, distribution and third party contracts for the launch of VIMIZIM®. This expansion complements the growth in BioMarin’s biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Shanbally, Co. Cork, with an expected combined total employment of approximately 200 people in Ireland by the end of 2017. Genable Technologies Genable Technologies is a privately held, venture-capital backed, Dublin based biopharmaceutical company. The company is developing new gene therapies to treat dominant genetic diseases and has been successful in receiving significant support and investment form Fountain Healthcare Partners, Delta Partners, Fighting Blindness Ireland, Foundation Fighting Blindness Clinical Research Institute (US) and Enterprise Ireland. In 2014, Spark Therapeutics

and Genable Technologies announced a collaboration agreement for Genable's lead therapeutic, GT038, to treat rhodopsin-linked autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (RHO adRP). The parties have entered into a broad agreement in which Spark will be the exclusive manufacturer of the product and provide development advice and expertise to Genable to help in the ongoing development of GT038. More recently, Genable confirmed that following on from a Pre-IND meeting with the FDA, GT038 has now moved from research to development. GT038 is a potential treatment for rhodopsin (RHO)-linked autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa (adRP), an inherited retinal dystrophy that leads to blindness in most cases. There is currently no approved pharmacologic treatment for adRP, which affects an estimated 30,000 patients worldwide. GT038 utilizes AAV vectors with an established safety and efficacy profile to deliver RNA interference (RNAi) molecules to suppress the expression of faulty and normal copies of RHO and restore normal gene expression. GT038 has been granted orphan drug designation in both the US and Europe. Conclusion The above examples represent just some of the impressive biotechnology sector in Ireland in relation to orphan medicinal products. Along with recent investments from multiple biopharmaceutical companies such as Alexion, Regeneron and Sanofi Genzyme in Ireland, we are now well positioned to be at the centre of this innovative global community.

Investment & Development

Investing in Ireland Inc. Following a couple of challenging years, the Irish PharmaChem sector is in rude health again and a host of key investments mean that its future prospects look extremely bright, writes Barry Heavey, Head of IDA Life Sciences Division.

espite a number of global industry challenges, the Irish pharmaceutical sector is in a healthy condition at present, supporting almost 25,000 direct jobs and 25,000 indirect roles. Ireland, like other countries, has been grappling with the twin challenges of patent expiry and mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity, but the sector here has weathered these storms well and the industry is actually going through a period of innovation and positive change. It should be noted there was a fall-off in employment, starting in 2008 due to the patent cliff and M&A activity, but employment growth resumed in 2012 and the lost jobs have now been

replaced. This job creation has also had a strong regional balance, with recent investments in Sligo, Westport, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Carlow and Athlone, in addition to traditional hubs of Dublin and Cork. Drivers of Employment Growth The driver for employment growth has been in the sub-sectors of biopharmaceuticals (Regeneron, Alexion, Lilly, Biomarin, Merck, Amgen) and speciality pharma (Allergan, Mylan, Jazz, Alkermes). A good example of how Irish plants have dealt with the loss of patent protection is Eli Lilly in Kinsale, Co. Cork. It lost patent protection for a key drug in

Investment & Development

2011 (peak sales were close to $6 billion) but the company has invested over €600m in establishing bio-pharmaceutical manufacturing on that site and at the time of writing, it had over 100 positions open in biopharma manufacturing. More widely, Ireland is set to benefit from the exciting progress in the development of new drugs (precision medicines) for treating cancer: • MSD are manufacturing exciting bio-pharmaceutical MK3475 in Ireland for ongoing clinical trials and if this drug is approved, it will be produced commercially in MSD’s sites in Carlow and Brinny, Co. Cork. • Pfizer have invested in a specialised new product development lab in their Ringaskiddy site to handle development of a number of pipeline anticancer drugs. The Biotech Revolution Bio-technology generally is driving great change in the Irish pharma industry. For example, Regeneron, one of the exciting biotech players in the US, have recently announced plans to invest $300m in a new facility in Limerick. More recently, J&J who already have a very successful biotech facility in Cork, announced the intention to build another biotech facility in Limerick. A subsidiary called Ethicon Biosurgery has announced plans to invest $100m in a new facility in Limerick, employing 270 people. This new facility will produce a combination of a medical device with a biopharmaceutical for wound healing: a biopharmaceutical drug placed onto a biomaterial pad. Another big investment came from Alexion, who are going to introduce a supply chain management team and a packaging and release testing facility to Dublin, and they have acquired a biologic sterile full finish facility in Athlone. Their investment in Ireland will soon approach $100m. We've also had a big investment by Mylan ($500m). This is an interesting one because they invested in Dublin to bring in a combination product for respiratory disease and are planning to expand their injectables facility near Galway. Their respiratory investment is focused on the development of a device for better inhalation of certain drugs. Mylan acquired that technology from Pfizer and moved it to Ireland because they felt that Ireland was a good place to develop that drug-device combina-

tion, given the country’s expertise in the development and manufacturing of medical devices and bio-pharmaceuticals. Exciting Investments In February 2013, Sanofi Genzyme announced the $44m expansion of their facility in Waterford. That was an exciting investment because they were bringing in one of their key products. MSD have an older biotech facility in Brinny, Co. Cork, the first in Ireland. Back in 2011 they reinvested in that facility to make it ready for new Merck products coming through the pipeline. That facility is going to be responsible for the launch

of a new really exciting drug for cancer called MK3475 – a very exciting drug that appears to be highly efficacious in treating various types of cancer. Merck also have a facility announced in 2009 in Carlow, a greenfield facility, which will share responsibility for manufacture of MK3475 and other products. Last year, Pfizer announced an investment of $130m, $30m of which is going into their small molecule manufacturing in Cork, with the other $100m invested in an expansion of their biotech facility in Grange Castle. They have recently held an opening of their $30m “new product development facility” in

Cork, and in some ways that's the more exciting investment because they are going to bring in the ability to produce a wide variety of highly potent small molecule products. IDA Encourages Collaborative Clusters IDA want to help companies move from having sites that just make one product in large volume to being flexible and also being able to produce a wide variety of next generation drugs. More generally, the IDA strategy is built around encouraging collaborative clusters to grow. The first example of this is the medical device industry itself, which continues to be an area of strength for Ireland. We are seeing increased “convergence” between medical devices and bio-pharmaceuticals, for example: • • • •

Recent investments by Mylan: respiratory drug-device combination; J&J Ethicon Biosurgery: biomaterial and bio-pharmaceutical for wound health; Sanofi-Genzyme: long acting insulin blockbuster Lantus; Nypro: investment in development and manufacturing of drug-delivery devices in Bray and Waterford.

CLeantech Initiatives A second example of a collaborative cluster is when pharma companies invest in “cleantech” initiatives as part of their corporate social responsibility and also improve the competitiveness and sustainability of their manufacturing plants. A unique initiative in recent months saw the collaboration of J&J, GSK and Novartis to form the Lower Harbour Energy Group to build a case for the recent investment in three wind turbines associated with these companies in Cork’s Lower Harbour. Companies are also collaborating across sectors to explore how to conserve energy in manufacturing facilities. Many companies are also investing heavily in operational excellence initiatives in their Irish manufacturing sites. A big part of these operational excellence initiatives is practitioner to practitioner knowledge sharing and this works extremely well in Ireland, where companies in the same or different sectors share insights and approaches. Organisations such as the Irish Centre for Business Excellence (ICBE) and

IBEC work with Enterprise Ireland and IDA to facilitate this best practice-sharing between companies. The medical device sector has made enormous progress in this space, with three companies (J&J Depuy, Abbott and Covidien) joining Lake Region in being awarded the international Shingo Gold award in 2014. Strong Regulatory Track Record Ireland’s regulatory track record remains extremely strong and the Irish medicines Board, recently rebranded as the Health Product The bio-pharmaceutical sector has grown from 400 employees in one site in 2004, to approximately 5,000 people at 18 sites in 2014. regulatory Authority (HPRA) has an internation$8 billion, the vast majority of which has al reputation in regulatory compliance. occurred in the last 10 years. $2 billion in HPRA have recently initiated Regulatory capital expenditure has been committed Science Ireland to explore opportunities by companies in the last two years alone. for investment in research to increase understanding of processes and products Upskilling Staff and thereby support Ireland’s reputation It is also worth pointing out that NIBRT for regulatory excellence in manufacturhas been working closely with companies ing. such as MSD, Lilly, Biomarin, Amgen In recent times, there have and Regeneron, who are currently also been significant investments by the upskilling existing staff, training new hires Government to support job creation in or preparing to hire as facilities come onthe bio-pharmaceutical sector, in particustream.

The cumulative this leaves me very optimistic about the capital investments in these facilities is industry in Ireland over future years.

Traceability

Tracing the Future of Medicines The regulatory landscape for traceability of medicines continues to evolve globally, including the advent of the Falsified Medicines Directive, writes Siobhán Duggan, Healthcare Sector Director, GS1 Ireland.

ealthcare systems around the globe are facing challenges that affect the entire supply chain. The sector is concerned primarily with two main issues: patient safety and greater supply chain efficiency and accuracy. The facility to identify things uniquely and accurately is essential - be it a medication, an item of clinical equipment or even a patient. The regulatory landscape continues to evolve globally. Indeed, new regulations in the EU, the US and elsewhere will have a major direct impact on the healthcare supply chain. Use of GS1 Standards enables traceability and promotes a safe and secure supply chain by providing greater visibility, accuracy and efficiency for the benefit of all parties. Preventing medical errors, enabling traceability & recall and combating counterfeiting are key concerns facing the sector, and GS1 Standards are helping to solve these issues. Key Benefits The ley benefits of adopting GS1 Standards in healthcare can be summarised as follows: • • • • • • • • • • •

Improving patient safety; Lowering costs through increased efficiency; Reducing medication errors; Enabling supply chain visibility; Facilitating effective product recalls; Tracking of pharmaceutical products/medical devices; Reducing introduction of counterfeit products; Enhancing inventory management; Linking critical product data to the patient record; Supporting regulatory compliance; Optimising order, invoice, sales reporting, and chargeback/rebate processes.

Use of GS1 Standards enables traceability and promotes a safe and secure supply chain by providing greater visibility, accuracy and efficiency for the benefit of all parties.

Ensuring Regulatory Compliance Product serialisation, compliance with EU, FDA and other international drug pedigree requirements and establishing anti-counterfeiting solutions are key priorities for the pharmaceutical industry. The deadline for compliance with the European Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) is 2017 for those countries that don’t have a pre-existing authentication system. All manufacturers will be expected to print a 2D datamatrix with serialisation data on medicine packs and these packs then need to be verified at the point of dispense. This requires significant changes for pharmaceutical manufacturers and will require IT development changes in hospitals and community pharmacies. The proposed European and US FDA Unique Device Identification (UDI) regulations are to the fore in the medical device arena, as companies need to transform disparate medical identification methods into a standardised UDI system. Both pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers are leveraging GS1 Standards and the support of GS1 experts to prepare for these new requirements and ensure regulatory compliance. 18

Clinical Trials

European Regulation on Clinical Trials: Have We Reached the Finish Line? The new Regulation No 536/2014 of the European Parliament and the Council of April 16 on Clinical Trials on medicinal products for human use is intended to set the global gold standard for clinical trials, writes Fionnuala Gibbons, Clinical Industry Liaison Officer, Molecular Medicine Ireland/ Irish Clinical Research Infrastructure Network.

n April 2014, the Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 on the authorisation of clinical trials was adopted by the Council of the European Union (hereafter EU)¹, following its approval by the European Parliament in December 2013. The new Clinical Trials Regulation No 536/2014 replaces two existing Directives, 2001/20/EC and 2005/28/EC, which establish rules for good clinical practice and requirements for authorisation of the manufacturing or importation of medicinal products for human use, respectively. It is well recognised that the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC has brought about significant improvements in the conduct of Clinical Trials. Major improvements have been seen in safety reporting, ethical review and most importantly, in the reliability of clinical trial data.

Decreasing Numbers of Trials However, the divergence in its implementation within Member States, the administrative burden, high cost, and lack of harmonisation of the applicable rules imposed by its scope and procedures, including the duplication of effort required for multi-state trials, led to criticism from patients, clinical investigators and pharmaceutical companies. It is well recognised that all of these restrictions have contributed to a significant decline in the number of trials conducted in the EU. It is estimated that during the period 2007-2011, the number of applications for clinical trials decreased by 25%². The aim of the ‘Voluntary Harmonisation Procedure’ in April 2009³ was to harmonise the procedures for assessing multinational clinical trials by 20

the National Competent Authorities in the EU: however, the restrictions remained. This resulted in a public consultation by the European Commission 2009/10 which led to the publication of a summary of responses from stakeholders in March 2010⁴. A ‘concept paper’ was published in February 2011 for public consultation on a proposed revision of the Directive 2001/20/EC⁵. Following consultation, the Commission published its proposal for a new Regulation in place of Directive 2001/20/EC⁶. In order for a smooth transposition of the rules of Directive 2001/20/EC to the rules of the proposed Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014, both sets of rules will apply in parallel for a period of time. This will facilitate the transition of the Regulation,

Clinical Trials

which is expected to apply from 2016. Complete Overhaul The new Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 represents a complete overhaul of the existing regulation of clinical trials for medicinal products in the EU. As a regulation, it will be directly binding in all EU Member States without the need for any national implementing legislation. This should result in the harmonisation of the regulatory framework for clinical trials, thus restoring the reputation of competitiveness in clinical research within the EU. The scope of the proposed Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 is limited to clinical research on medicinal products, but has a wide scope which only excludes clinical studies that do not involve an ‘intervention’ (e.g. surveys or ‘data mining’). The proposed Regulation defines a sub-category of clinical trials falling within its scope, namely ‘low-intervention clinical trials’, where the investigational medicinal products are used in accordance with the terms of their marketing authorisation or where the additional diagnostic or monitoring procedures do not impose more than minimal additional risk or burden to the safety of the subjects compared to normal clinical practice. Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 introduces a new authorisation procedure for clinical trials. The key change includes submission of a single application dossier via a centralised web-based portal (EU web-portal)¹, in which the sponsor wishes to conduct a clinical trial. The web-portal will be managed by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in cooperation with the European Commission and the EU Member States. The Sponsor will propose a member state to act as the ‘Reporting Member State’ (RMS), which will facilitate the approval process for the clinical trial. The application will undergo joint scientific assessment by the RMS, and will be subject to strict deadlines for review. This should result in a straightforward harmonised authorisation procedure, allowing for a fast and thorough assessment of the application by all Member States (MS) concerned and will result in one single assessment outcome. Assessment of an Application The assessment of an application has two parts, Part 1 and Part II: Part I assessment is completed by the

RMS in a timeline of 45 days. They are required to give a preliminary report in six days, whether or not the MS accepts being the RMS and if the trial falls into the new regulation, and 10 days for validation. The assessment over a period of 26 days will focus on details such as the expected therapeutic and public health benefits, risks for the patients and compliance with the various requirements, ! taking into account considerations from the concerned MS. This will be followed by a 12-day coordinated review involving the concerned member states, before the final seven-day consolidation phase completed by the RMS. Part II of the procedure is performed by each concerned MS where the Sponsor wishes to conduct the trial and is completed in parallel with Part I. Each Member State will assess the intrinsic

aspects of each MS (legislation, ethics, health culture) and more technical details of the trial, such as informed consent, payments to subjects, recruitment procedures, data protection, site feasibility, suitability of the investigator and site staff working on the trial, and compensation insurance for any damage suffered by a subject resulting from participation in a clinical trial. If further information is required from the Sponsor, the RMS can extend the Part I and Part II assessment by a maximum of 31 days. The Sponsor has 12 days to respond with the required information. If the information required is not provided by the Sponsor, the application will lapse in all MS’s. The Part II assessment report, along with the conclusion of the MS state, will be made available to the

Clinical Trials

Sponsor and other MS’s via the web-portal. The RMS shall ensure the persons validating and assessing the application do not have conflicts of interest, are independent of the Sponsor, of the clinical trial site and the investigators involved and have no financial or personal interest in the trial. The assessment of the clinical trial application must be done by a team of people who collectively have the necessary qualifications and experience to do the assessment, and this must include at least one layperson. Transparency Of Research There is concerted effort to make research transparent and open to the public. The new Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 aims to increase the transparency of data generated from authorised clinical trials conducted within the EU. Results will be made publicly accessible in the EU database, unless confidentiality is justified on the grounds of protection of personal data or commercially confidential information. Detailed summaries of the study results, including a summary in plain language, are to be submitted within one year of termination of the clinical trial. Final clinical study reports that are submitted to support a marketing authorisation are to be uploaded onto the EU database within 30 days of authorisation, rejection, or withdrawal of the marketing application. Sponsors are subject to penalties if they fail to adhere to these transparency obligations¹. If a trial is being performed outside the EU, the fundamental rules for the protection of subjects must be applied. The rules clearly outline that trials referred to in a clinical trial application must comply with regulatory requirements which are equivalent to those in the EU, including rules on transparency. The Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 aims to streamline and simplify the rules on safety reporting for clinical trials. It stipulates the provision that suspected unexpected serious adverse reactions (hereafter ‘SUSARs’) can be reported by the sponsor directly to the online EU pharmacovigilance database, EudraVigilance, instead of being

submitted to each EU MS¹. It is the responsibility of the Sponsors to notify each EU MS within 15 days of certain events during the conduct of a clinical trial. Notifications include the start and end of the trial, end of recruitment and any suspension or early termination of trial. Data Protection Responsibilities The Sponsors of clinical trials must comply with the provisions of the Data Protection Directive⁷. They will be permitted to seek the consent of the trial subject to use his or her data for purposes which are outside the scope of the trial protocol but it must be used exclusively for scientific purpose. Consent for use of personal data for scientific purposes may be sought at the same time as consent for participation in the clinical trial. Consent may be withdrawn by the trial subject at any time. The Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 provides that insurance cover-

ing the investigator, the institution, or product liability insurance will be sufficient for low-intervention clinical trials.

Clinical Trials

As a result, Sponsors of low-intervention clinical trials will not be obliged to provide a specific insurance or indemnity compensation. Ethics committees will be involved in the assessment of clinical trials applications. However, as is the current situation, their responsibilities and detailed composition will be determined independently by each EU country. In this way, the different traditions in the various MS’s are respected. The Regulation permits the co-sponsorship of clinical trials. Each cosponsor will assume full regulatory responsibility for the entire clinical trial unless the co-sponsors agree otherwise. The new Regulation clearly outlines that the principal investigator will be responsible for ensuring the compliance of a clinical trial at a clinical trial site. This proposal will have significant implications, with a higher level of responsibility being delegated to the principal investigators that have normally been the remit of the Sponsor alone. The Sponsor, if not established in the EU, is now obliged to have a ‘legal representative’ responsible for compliance. A Key Milestone This new Regulation offers a major opportunity regarding clinical trials and is a key milestone towards the development of a model that meets real public health needs. Without knowledge of which trials were conducted in the past, research cannot move forward. We now have a real chance of reducing the risks of ineffective treatments being developed and approved without complete evidence being available. This Regulation is not a panacea, and no doubt will come under as much criticism as the Clinical Trial Directive. However, it is expected to be a major improvement over the previous

"This Regulation will aim to streamline and harmonise the approval process conducted across MS’s, and with true transparency of clinical trial results, we can make a real difference to the research environment. " CT Directive and will aim to streamline and harmonise the approval process conducted across MS’s, and with true transparency of clinical trial results, we can make a real difference to the research environment. This will result in the EU being more attractive for clinical trial research, reversing the decrease in the number of investigations of new innovative medicines conducted in the EU and bringing patient-oriented research back to Europe, while maintaining the high standards of patient safety.

Supply Chain

Can you Ensure the Integrity of Your Supply Chain?

Ann McGee, MD of McGee Pharma International, examines the Falsified Medicines Directive and the MA Holder’s responsibilities in ensuring the integrity of the pharmaceutical supply chain.

n July 2011, the EU strengthened the protection of patients and consumers by adopting the Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD). The directive identified three categories of falsified medicines: (1) those that contain ingredients of low quality or in the wrong doses; (2) those that are deliberately and fraudulently mislabelled with respect to their identity or source; (3) those that have fake packaging, the wrong ingredients, or low levels of the active ingredients. Implementation of the FMD commenced in January 2013 and the implementing measures can be grouped into four main pillars: (1) Safety features of medicines; (2) Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) and excipients; (3) supply chain and Good Distribution Practice (GDP); and (4) internet sales. FMD has resulted in a trend towards more stringent enforcement of GDP and supply chain control by regulators worldwide to ensure that product security and quality is maintained throughout the storage and distribution stages of the pharmaceutical supply chain. Increasingly Complex Supply Chain The escalating risk of falsified and poor quality medicines, APIs and excipients is partly due to the increasing complexity of the supply chain. Companies are progressively outsourcing some elements of their business activities. Furthermore, financial performance drivers have resulted in relocation of manufacturing activities to lower cost jurisdictions, often outside the EU, with different regulatory structures and, sometimes, standards that are not aligned with those of the EU. Multiple outsourced activities and locations add further com-

plexity to management of the supply chain. One of the updates proposed by the draft version of EudraLex, Volume 4, Annex 16, relates to the role of the QP with respect to oversight of the supply chain. Section 3.5.5 of the draft Annex 16 states: “The entire supply chain of the medicinal product, starting from the manufacturing sites of the starting materials and components, and including all parties involved in any The falsified Medicines Directive has resulted in more stringent supply manufacturing and chain control. importation activities of the medicinal product, is documented and available for the QP [Qualified Person]. …..each party, including subcontractors of critical steps such as e.g. the sterilisation of components and equipment for aseptic processing, are included.” This would imply a responsibility for QPs to satisfy themselves that a robust supply chain is in place and that critical pharmaceutical materials can be easily tracked and traced throughout their supply chain. The proposed requirement to map the supply chain will need to take account of API, critical excipients, intermediate and finished product manufacture, storage and distribution. The roles and

“Does your QP have access to a detailed supply chain map per medicinal product? If not, have you considered how you will meet this requirement?”

Supply Chain

“How robust is your vendor performance management program: are your metrics telling you what you should know?” activities of each party in the supply chain should be documented. Often this information is not located in one place and the effort required to access and collate this information can be underestimated. Do You Have A Supply Chain Map? Does your QP have access to a detailed supply chain map per medicinal product? If not, have you considered how you will meet this requirement? Ultimately, the MA Holder is responsible for the quality of its pharmaceutical materials in the supply chain. Therefore, responsibility for the quality, safety and integrity of materials lies with the MA Holder. Losing control of even a portion of the supply chain can impact the quality of and the overall medicinal product and can result in potentially harmful falsified medicines entering the supply chain. If this occurs, it can cause significant impact to public health and damage to a company’s reputation. To safeguard against this, it is necessary for MA Holders to have knowledge of the transportation routes and the ability to control the routes that are used on a day-to-day basis. In some cases, this can present a significant problem: for instance, some distributors may be hesitant to provide specific details of the transportation route as it may provide commercially sensitive information, such as the location of other customers. However, if confidentiality of the information is assured through contracts and technical agreements, this can enable tighter control and oversight of the supply chain. In addition to the shipping origin and destination of the material concerned, the MA Holder must define the route(s) by which the material may be transported.

Temperature, Humidity & Physical Impact in Transit Furthermore, although it is not discussed in this article when defining routes, the MA Holder should take account of the conditions of temperature, relative humidity and physical impact to which the product may be exposed along that route, ideally in the form of a risk assessment. The MA Holder must demonstrate that the material was transported within In order for the MA Holder to ensure the safety and integrity of the supply chain, it must be mapped in detail and the its label claim for temperature transportation activities and controls for all critical materials and relative humidity (where should be risk assessed. relevant); this requirement supply chain maps and associated risk is applicable to all medicinal assessments should be managed under products, including medical samples and the Quality System and should be readily investigational medicinal products (IMP). accessible by the QPs, so they can satisfy themselves that appropriate controls Vendor Performance are in place.

unning from 2014 to 2020 and with an €80 billion budget, the European Union’s programme for research and innovation, Horizon 2020, is part of the drive to create new growth and jobs in Europe. It will build on the progress made under the Seventh EU Framework Programme for R&D (FP7), which ended in December 2013. This is an opportunity that cannot be ignored by the PharmaChem industry in Ireland and there are many supports available to win some of this funding, as our peers do across Europe. Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe's global competitiveness. Ambitious Targets This funding is highly competitive. Indeed, winning it is seen as a measure of excellence. Ireland has set itself an ambitious target of winning €1.25 billion of this funding, more than double what it achieved under FP7. In order to achieve the target, Ireland has put in place a dedicated team across 11 state agencies, which is led by Enterprise Ireland. This team provides support in all areas of Horizon 2020, including ICT, Health, Manufacturing, Environment, Energy, Security and the Social Sciences. Participants are being encouraged to look for opportunities throughout the programme. A traditional ICT company that might previously have looked to the ICT part of the programme is encouraged to explore opportunities in logistics, security, health systems and a much broader

range of topics, for example. It is recognised that Ireland needs to broaden its participation base and reach out to cohorts of industry that have not traditionally participated. Horizon 2020 has seen a renewed focus on the participation of industry from all sectors, with the introduction of a number of industry specific opportunities. Among these, the new SME Instrument aims to fund highpotential innovation and close to market

opportunities through a phased support system. Additionally, throughout the Horizon 2020 programme, a large number of opportunities have an industrial focus to them, most notably in the Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies area, with its focus on new and breakthrough technologies, this part of the programme will contribute to boosting competitiveness, creating jobs and supporting growth.

Julie Sinnamon, CEO, Enterprise Ireland, is pictured with European Research, Innovation and Science Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, discussing how Irish companies can access finance for ‘high-risk’ research and innovation activities at Enterprise Ireland’s offices during a visit to Dublin by the Commissioner in June 2014.

Increased Funding Rate To make the programme more attractive to industry, the funding rate has been increased so that a research project is funded at 100% plus 25% overhead and a closer to market project is funded at 70% plus 25% overhead. European programmes have traditionally been accused of complexity and this new funding model is one part of the overall simplifications to encourage wider participation, in particular that of industry. This is something that has been widely welcomed across Europe. Other simplifications include a standard set of rules across the programme and lighter financial reporting obligations. Because so much of Horizon 2020 is aimed at collaborative projects, there are exciting opportunities to work with leading academia, both within Ireland and across Europe, and also to participate in research collaboration through staff exchanges between academia and industry, large and small. Despite the natural competition within an industry sector, there exist opportunities to collaborate, for example in areas such as standardisation and regulation and in the area of pre-competitive research. Innovative Medicines Initiative In relation to the pharmaceutical area, a significant opportunity for participation is within the Innovative Medicines Initiative, built on the European Technology Platform on Innovative Medicines that was supported under the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme for Research (FP6). This technology platform was essentially a gathering of stakeholders, led by the pharmaceutical industry. However, in a drive to increase the competitiveness of the European Pharmaceutical industry, with support from the European Commission, the Innovative Medicines Initiative was launched in 2008, and has to date, been successful in launching 13 calls for research proposal and committed to spending the entire €2 billion budget. Under Horizon 2020, IMI will continue as IMI2 and will run from 2014 to the end of 2024 and it will have a total budget of up to €3.276 billion. Of this, up to €1.638 billion will come from the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme, to match the contribution of the industrial partners, EFPIA and other large companies that decide to join IMI2 as associated partners at project or programme level.

While, traditionally, IMI has seen small numbers successfully competing for funding, Ireland has consistently been successful at participating in the programme, with industrial, academic and patient organisation success across a broad number of projects. These range from multiple Irish participation (Trinity College Dublin, Hibernia College) in educational protects such as Pharmatrain (www.pharmatrain.eu), where the goal is to build and implement a new modular Master level programme for advanced studies in Pharmaceutical Medicine and Drug Development Sciences, to more research focused projects such as SAFE-T (Argutus Medical, now EKF Diagnostics), where the focus is on

developing improved tools for prediction, detection, and monitoring of druginduced injuries to the kidney, the liver, and the vascular system, using markers in patients’ blood and/or urine. New applicants to any of the EU programmes detailed above are strongly encouraged to contact the Irish Horizon 2020 team of European Advisors to explore potential opportunities across public procurement, advanced manufacturing and process improvement, to name but a few.

Chromatography

Making Mass Detection Affordable Waters’ ACQUITY® QDa™ Detector is the culmination of their committed experience in mass spectrometry, resulting in an instrument with purposeful innovation that addresses size, ease of use, and affordability concerns that their customers have been asking them to attend to.

esigned as a synergistic element of your chromatographic separations system, the ACQUITY QDa is mass detection built around the needs of your analytical scientists for their chromatographic analysis. Robust, reliable, and requiring no sample-specific adjustments, it seamlessly integrates with your current LC, UPLC®, UPC2®, and purification systems. Minimise the risk of unexpected co-elutions, and you will be able to confirm trace components with certainty, because of the analytical confidence of mass detection. You’ll enhance the analytical value and productivity of each analysis, and you won’t need to run all the additional assays or time-consuming alternative techniques or even wait for results from specialist labs that cost your laboratory productivity. Mass detection is widely recognised as a reliable method to derive more meaningful information from your samples, but is not necessarily used by all analytical scientists.

Mass detection is an orthogonal, complementary technique to optical detection, allowing you to discriminate between analytes of similar absorbance properties. It enables you to confirm compound identity and purity. And, as it’s also compatible with optical detection, you could benefit from both in the same sample analysis.

The ACQUITY QDa is mass detection built around the needs of your analytical scientists for their chromatographic analysis.

Analytical Confidence However, traditionally, mass detection is seen as a costly technique, consuming bench space and needing sample-specific, careful adjustment. Often requiring training of an expert user to manage its complexity, mass detection is generally not suitable for integration into most LC analyses. So, mass detection tends to be inaccessible to many laboratories. Now you can have access to the analytical confidence from the selectivity that mass detection brings to your analysis, within your own analytical or purification system. With the ACQUITY QDa Detector, you now have information-rich mass spectral data to complement data from your current Waters® optical detectors, including the ACQUITY UPLC PDA, TUV, ELS, and FLR detectors, as well as the ACQUITY UPC2 PDA Detector. This mass spectral information integrates seamlessly into the same workflow, routinely giving you more complete separation characterisation. The benefits include: Plug and Play Performance It’s as intuitive as an optical detector with the robustness to handle all of your analyses. Working in harmony with your chromatography, it’s pre-optimised to work with your samples, without the sample-specific or user adjustments typical of traditional mass spectrometers. 34

Accessibility It is the industry’s most accessible, affordable, and usable mass detector. For the first time, any analytical scientist can consistently generate the highest quality mass spectral data routinely – no special training or expertise required. Confidence The most information you can get out of your separation for complete characterisation. In synergy with optical detection, you can significantly reduce the chance that a sample component will go undetected. Increased Efficiency Purposeful innovation that gives you the only mass detector that integrates with, and even fits on top of, your instrument stack. Using less bench space and less energy than a traditional mass spectrometer, it fits easily within your existing laboratory set-up as part of your regular workflow. Cleaning and routine maintenance are minimal, thereby maximising your uptime. “The intuitive design of the ACQUITY QDa Detector gives you the additional data you need without the cost and complexity of traditional mass spectrometry,” concluded a Waters spokesperson, “and it’s compatible with all of our ACQUITY UPLC, ACQUITY UPC2, Alliance® HPLC, and purification LC and SFC systems."

Energy Management

Veolia: A Partner for Sustainable Growth

ecreasing the energy and water demand of production facilities, reducing CO2 emissions, ensuring that production processes and outputs meet the strictest environmental, quality and regulatory standards; these are just some of the challenges faced by pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturers every day. Veolia’s core expertise is rooted in its understanding of the water-energy-waste nexus and finding ways to reduce the environmental and economic impact of this vital interdependency: Dalkia Ltd., Veolia’s energy activity, became Veolia in July 2014. Firstly, Veolia delivers efficient energy management solutions for all utilities and buildings, from supply of energy, through distribution of steam

and hot water, to plant and equipment maintenance, calibration and reduction of consumption at point of use. The design and deployment of new energy centres to incorporate biomass or combined heat and power plants is securely managed under a guaranteed performance framework. Water is a strategic asset and this reality has prompted Veolia to develop metrics to help large water users to grasp the obvious and hidden cost of water so they can make sustainable business decisions, while ensuring long-term profitability. The ‘True Cost of Water’ tool combines traditional Capex and Opex calculations with analysis of water risks and their financial implications, to ensure that optimal investment and operational

decisions are taken over the lifetime of a plant. Veolia helps clients to transform their waste streams into valuable resources. Incineration may have traditionally been the only option for the disposal of waste solvents, with zero energy recovery possible. Now these waste streams are being blended and converted into sustainable alternative fuels, which can supply other local industrial processes and reduce the reliance on fossil fuels. Veolia partners with some of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies to adopt this full life cycle approach to their activities and support their journey towards sustainable growth. For more information, log on to www.veolia.ie

Resourcing Pharmaceuticals Industries Pharmaceutical industries now need to rise to a combination of major environmental, regulatory, social, economic and operational challenges. As a result, they have begun to look beyond simple service solutions in search of a truly creative partner able to innovate. This is the kind of ongoing challenge at which Veolia excels. Some of our solutions include:

New Product Development

Pfizer Evolves To Meet Market Demand Pfizer have constructed a New Products Technology Laboratory, allowing innovation in low volume, small molecule API manufacture.

une 2013 saw Pfizer Pharmaceuticals approve a $30m investment in a New Products Technology Laboratory (NPTL) at its Ringaskiddy site. The NPTL facility provides Pfizer API, with fit-for-purpose capability for manufacture of its small molecule portfolio. The NPTL manufacturing facility meets the shift in demand from large volume blockbuster drugs to small volume potent precision medicines through major innovations with containment and an innovative combination of new flexible manufacturing technologies. The facility has the capability to manufacture low volume products requiring high containment, for commercial market approvals, to cGMP standards. NPTL addresses the shortage of this type of capacity, while providing the most ideal ergonomic environment and processing capability for small products at an early stage in the development lifecycle. The new facility provides capacity for future expansion at minimal cost. The NPTL was developed to allow Pfizer’s pharmaceutical manufacturing capabilities to meet the changing market demands, providing capability for both 0-5 kg and 5-25 kg scale manufacturing capacity within two separate equipment trains. Innovation by Design Facilities include:•

•

A Small Scale Production Suite to accommodate 0-5 kg product volumes, including head tanks, reactors, condensers, filters, contained filters and dryers, liquid drum booths for dosing accurate quantities and flow skid capacity; An Intermediate Scale Production Suite to accommodate 5-25 kg

•

• •

product volumes, including head tanks, reactors, centrifuge, contained filter dryer, receiver vessels and High Shear wet milling; Dispensary Area with contained glove box isolator technology common to both suites; A Hydrogenation Suite with gas turbine and dispersion Agitator for optimised mixing; Process services and utilities common to both suites for up to 20 services; Two Flow skid technology plates for process skids up based on ISO transport container sizes.

Best Practice Best practice has moved forward in terms of flexible manufacturing with containment capability, where process knowledge is at the fingertips of everyone involved in the process development and manufacture lifecycle. For example: •

•

Dramatic reductions in changeover timelines that cost the business significantly can be achieved with ease, following the implementation of technologies developed for the NPTL. Pfizer’s capabilities are best in class and advanced chemistry can move from the laboratory to scale up quickly and efficiently. Manufacturing technologies in areas such as mixing studies for hydrogenation, high

containment handling of relatively toxic materials and flexible processing are now greatly enhanced and simplified. Pfizer, Cork, now have a best in class facility that allows them to scale up processes with remote real time visibility of performance. Improved process visibility and technologist interaction provide more precise and accurate control of the processes.

Next Generation Page 1 Manufacturing Pfizer’s NPTL represents the next generation in terms of flexible, high containment manufacturing facilities. The technologies and the work practices enabled in the NPTL provide new opportunities to the rest of Pfizer’s business and the pharmaceutical manufacturing community as a whole. Pfizer Pharmaceuticals employs 3,200 people in Ireland. Pfizer API is based in Ringaskiddy, Co. Cork, employs 420 people and has a strategic role as the default launch site for new products.

WORKING ON ANSWERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LIVED A LIFETIME. Seniors should have treatments that not only help them live longer, but also live well. That’s why Pfizer is working to provide them with better nutrition through vitamin supplements, and to help fill their golden years with vitality through specialized medicines for health needs later in life such as high cholesterol, arthritis and chronic pain.

AND FOR THOSE WITH A LIFETIME TO LIVE. Keeping those at the earliest stage of life healthy is one of our highest priorities. Pfizer is a leader in paediatric products ranging from children’s vitamins to medicines for serious diseases. In many countries around the world, we work to deliver better nutrition to moms during pregnancy and breastfeeding to help give our little ones the best chance for a healthy life.

Research & Development

SSPC Points the Way for Collaborative Research The Synthesis and Solid State Pharmaceutical Centre, hosted at the University of Limerick, has already achieved unprecedented success in terms of international collaboration between industry and academia. With a broadened remit, the future points to more breakthroughs from molecule to medicine.

he name may have changed but the remit at the SSPC remains focused on cutting edge research, pharmaceutical innovation and advanced manufacturing. The Synthesis and Solid State Pharmaceutical Centre, formerly known as the Solid State Pharmaceutical Cluster (2007-2013), is a unique collaboration between some of the biggest names in the global pharmaceutical business, Irelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foremost academic institutions and a host of international academic collaborators. In essence, the SSPC is designed to link scientists and engineers in partnerships across academia and industry to address crucial research questions and is jointly funded by SFI and industry. The SSPC carries out research, ranging from molecule to medicine, with the objective of gaining a better understanding of mechanisms, controlling processes and predicting outcomes for the efficient and environmentally sustainable production of safe

medicines. The aim of the SSPC is to deliver relevant solutions that address the manufacturing needs of pharmaceutical companies and through this, to build a strong pharmaceutical community and a pharmaâ&#x20AC;?friendly environment in Ireland. The initial phase, the Solid State Pharmaceutical Cluster, focused exclusively upon the crystallisation stage of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the manufacturing process. Within the pharmaceutical industry, this stage is a significantly challenging aspect of manufacturing, as there is a significant lack of fundamental understanding of the science and engineering challenges at this stage of the process. Significant breakthroughs here led to the establishment of the Synthesis and Solid State Pharmaceutical Centre, which has seen the focus expand from crystallisation

upstream into wet chemistry, including synthetic organic chemistry and biocatalysis, and downstream into advanced formulation of the API into a drug product.

Pictured are SSPC General Manager, Jon Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Halloran, and SSPC Scientific Director, Prof. Kieran Hodnett.

Research & Development

This expansion is a logical progression of SSPC’s remit, due primarily to the unprecedented success of the Cluster. “The Cluster was successful for a number of reasons. It was the first time that a large group of diverse researchers, from chemists to engineers to pharmacists, collaborated towards a common goal. The model of engagement, where resources were shared equitably across all partners, was unique and led to real engagement of all partners”, explains SSPC General Manager, Jon O’Halloran. “We also demonstrated the value that academia could bring to industry early on, through short, single company projects. This led to trust across the Cluster to the point where all industrial and academic partners were comfortable collaborating with each other in the precompetitive space. This level of collaboration is unprecedented globally and happened much faster than we had projected. With the Cluster, we got real three-way collaboration: between companies, with companies and academics, and between academics.” The expansion of the remit for the Centre has seen a corresponding increase in the number of industry partners involved, which is now up to 22, as well as 34 post-doctoral researchers (up from six) and 60 PhDs, triple the original 20. The SSPC continues to welcome new industry and academic partners from Ireland and globally and is currently in the process of partnering with two new multinational pharmaceutical companies. The Three Strands of SSPC The SSPC research programme is organised into three interconnecting strands, which actively reflect the three distinct steps in the manufacture of modern medicines. Strand 1: New Frontiers in Pharmaceutical Synthesis This focuses on better and more environmentally sustainable ways to make active pharmaceutical ingredients; Strand 2: Crystal Growth and Design Investigating optimal ways to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients; Strand 3: Drug Product Formulation and Manufacture Developing the dosage forms of the future.

The SSPC research programme focuses on next generation drug manufacture and spans the entire pharmaceutical production chain, from synthesis of the molecule to the isolation of the material and the formulation of the medicine.

Projects For The Future SSPC General Manager, Jon O’Halloran highlights some of the projects currently underway. Strand 1

Development of Novel Biocatalysts “There is a push, globally, for a greener pharmaceutical industry. If, for example, we could develop biocatalysts from naturally occurring materials, these could replace more environmentally hazardous materials, as well as having the potential to telescope chemical reactions, thereby reducing the number of synthetic synthesis steps,” O’Halloran explains. Strand 2

Multicomponent Pharmaceutical Compounds “One of the most exciting projects currently, involves research into delivering the next generation of medicines via multicomponent pharmaceutical compounds and, for example, co-crystals. Lots of drugs that don’t make it to clinical trials fail because of poor solubility,” O’Halloran explains. “We can possibly pave the way for the introduction of new active ingredients that wouldn’t have processed through clinical trials heretofore. Currently, it is estimated that for every 10,000 molecules that are screened, only one makes it to market. If you can overcome the solubility issue, you can significantly improve that ratio.” Strand 3

Novel Mechanisms for Drug Delivery “While some amorphous APIs show significant therapeutic effect, their stability can remain a challenge,” O’Halloran notes. “SSPC researchers are looking to understand and enhance this stability through novel drug product design such as hot melt extrusion or spray drying. Success here could lead to significant savings for the pharmaceutical industry and greater availability of medicines.”

Research & Development

O’Halloran predicts a bright future for SSPC and its impact on the Irish pharma industry. “The presence of such a large number of multinational manufacturing pharmaceutical companies in Ireland has led, in the last five years in particular, to the emergence of some really exciting SMEs to support that sector, companies like EirGen Pharma, who work in low dosage high potency drugs, Glantreo in silica support systems and Innopharma Labs in advanced analytics. This is where we see job retention and growth through SSPC. Multinationals are retaining their existing numbers and growing in the BioPharma space, while the SME business space is where we can grow Irish jobs in Irish companies.” He cites APC Ltd, established in 2011 by SSPC Principal Investigator Professor Brian Glennon and SSPC Post-Doctoral Researcher Dr Mark Barrett, as a shining example of an SME that grew out of Cluster. Finalists in the Irish Times Innovation Awards in 2014, APC deliver chemical engineering solutions and technologies to enable streamlined development, optimisation and supply of new and existing chemical and biological entities. Platform and Targeted Projects The SSPC research programme is divided into nine platform projects, which aim towards the progression of scientific state-of-the-art; nine targeted projects, which are driven by scientific challenges of specific industrial needs; and two linker projects, which connect the three strands. These two projects concentrate effort at the strand interfaces where the most important developments need to take place. One of the benefits of SSPC’s research is that it will have real impact on the industry, according to O’Halloran. “30% of our budget is retained for traditional or platform research,” he explains, “but the funding model for SFI Centres dictates that a minimum of 50% of the budget must be spent on targeted projects, which will deliver a real value to industry in a three-year time horizon.” He distinguishes it thus: “Platform research concentrates on fundamental research, via PhD students, where they challenge the scientific state-of-the-art in their subject areas. Target projects address the industrial

SSPC General Manager, Jon O’Halloran.

state-of-the-art, and in general, this is carried out by post doctoral researchers, who deliver real impact for companies.” A Global Reach Academically One of the biggest successes of SSPC has been its global reach, with unprecedented levels of international academic collaboration, including strong relationships with Purdue University in Indiana, the University of Toronto, the University of South Florida, the University of Leeds and the University of Manchester, amongst others. “Academics have seen how the SSPC model works and are very keen to become involved,” O’Halloran states “We have managed to build that relationship internationally from an academic perspective.” Indeed, the SSPC has managed to attract some fantastic researchers globally. One of the top 20 research chemists in the world, Professor Michael Zaworotko, has moved from the University of South Florida to the University of Limerick, the home of SSPC, which is a huge vote of confidence in the future success of the SSPC.

Expansion into BioPharma One of SSPC’s latest developments sees their remit extending into the BioPharma area, via a collaboration with NIBRT, the National Institute for Bioprocessing, Research and Training. “We’re using the SSPC model of collaboration with seven BioPharma companies, and researchers in NIBRT, DCU and TCD,” explains Jon O’Halloran. Extractable and leachable (E&L) compounds, arising from the interaction of culture media with disposable components within bioprocessing, represent a major concern for companies and regulators. The SSPC project aims to develop advanced technologies to maximize biotherapeutic production, reduce adverse effects of E&L’s and increase bioengineering capability during cell bioprocess in polymeric disposable systems.

Research & Development

“We’ve developed a very good model for collaboration,” O’Halloran states, “Our doors are always open to new researchers and new companies to develop the value proposition to the pharma sector globally.” Real Benefits to Industry From an industry viewpoint, O’Halloran feels that much of the focus of the Cluster was to demonstrate to multinational pharma companies the value their Irish operation could deliver to the global business. This time around, however, it’s slightly different, he explains: “Now, we’re not just dealing with the Irish entity, but we are having direct meetings with the corporate R&D divisions in both the US and mainland Europe.” This is very exciting for the future of the Irish PharmaChem sector. “Absolutely,” he agrees. “It’s about demonstrating the value proposition that the Irish sites have for their corporate colleagues. We want to ensure that Irish sites are not simply seen as manufacturing entities in the future, Ireland is now a solution-based economy. Our companies can import problems from their sister sites abroad, solve them in Ireland through knowledge gained in the SSPC and present that solution to the global HQ, demonstrating the value Irish sites bring to these global pharmaceutical companies, through their academic links here in Ireland.” The SSPC research programme focuses on next generation drug manufacture and spans the entire pharmaceutical production chain, from synthesis of the molecule to the isolation of the material and the formulation of the medicine. Indeed, it has become a shining example of what can be achieved when industry and academia truly collaborate. The future for SSPC, it seems, is extremely bright indeed.

The SSPC continues to welcome new industry and academic partners from Ireland and globally.

The SSPC is a unique collaboration between some of the biggest names in the global pharmaceutical business, Ireland’s foremost academic institutions and a host of international academic collaborators.

Recruitment

How To Attract Talent to your Company When it comes to the pharma sector, Ireland’s tight talent pool is attracted to companies with strong employer branding, writes Steve Greenwood of Berkley Recruitment.

ergers, acquisitions, investment and expansion activities within the pharmaceutical sector have seen 2014 herald the revitalisation of Ireland’s pharmaceutical sector. Much of this activity has resulted in significant, positive change in the Irish pharmaceutical landscape. Many organisations have made significant capital investments and expanded their manufacturing presence. Conversely, others have continued the trend towards the establishment of smaller external supply operations to contain the cost of goods sold by outsourcing manufacturing of the lower-margin products in their portfolios. Already this year, we have seen significant M&A activity, between Abbvie/ Shire, Mylan/Abbott, BMS/AstraZeneca

and others battling to maintain competitiveness while stimulating innovation: this has led to job creation in some cases and cuts in others. Any negative impacts of these strategies to Ireland, however, have been offset by significant investment by companies such as Regeneron, Ethicon, Alexion, Jazz Pharma, Mylan, Biomarin, Novartis and others: this has created a wealth of career opportunities for those seeking progression and development in the sector. Recruitment Market/Trends Overall, 2014 has manifested itself as a year of opportunity, following the period of uncertainty after the industry fell victim to the recent and well publicised patent

cliff. Ireland now has a situation where there are skills shortages rather than job shortages: the above mentioned sites are investing heavily in headcount, increasing competition for key skills in Quality, Manufacturing, Regulatory Affairs, Engineering and Supply Chain. We are also seeing a change in how the above skills are being applied by organisations. This year has seen a continuation in the shift from traditional, site-based pharmaceutical manufacturing model towards the ‘virtual hub’ model. While companies like Shire have operated solely in this way for many years, many companies have redefined

The jobs market: cuts versus creation.

Are People on the Move? Among those surveyed, the general positivity in the Irish jobs market has perhaps led to more confidence from employees in terms of making a career move. 20% of all respondents were considering new career opportunities. Of these individuals, 44% intend to move in the next six months, with a further 20% intending to do so within a year. Winning the Competition For Talent How pharmaceutical groups adjust to a candidate-driven employment market will be interesting to see over the short-tomedium term. How employers position themselves in the market is critical to ensure that the best possible candidates can be attracted, so that these investments can pay off. With so many organisations competing for talent, the employer value proposition has emerged as a factor far outweighing salary for many candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision-making processes. Candidates are now finding themselves in a position

of choice in many cases. Choices are being driven by how well employer values match their own, and how performance and commitment are rewarded in terms of responsibility and career progression. It is paramount for employers to place emphasis on selling their culture and vision in building their reputation in the employment market, to ensure that they rise above their competitors. Forward thinking organisations are thus investing heavily in employer branding to remain competitive, given the increasing tightness in the talent acquisition sphere. So what is important to candidates in choosing an employer for their next career move? The sentiment seen by Berkley is very much that fulfilment, rather than salary or benefits, tops candidatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wish-list. Following a number of years of limited opportunity and growth, candidates are now seeking to join growing organisations that place value on helping candidates develop themselves, gain exposure to different functional areas, promote a healthy work-life bal-

ance and foster an effective working environment which ultimately benefits the patient. The days of hiring solely via job advertisements are truly dead and gone. It is now up to companies to adopt innovative, attractive strategies to ensure maximum awareness of their presence in the market, their culture and values, their commitment to patient care and how potential staff can develop their careers by working with them.

It is paramount for employers to place emphasis on selling their culture and vision in building their reputation in the employment market, to ensure that they rise above their competitors.
