  30. Strategy 3: Product Developments • Two low risk developments: • APL 202(intra-vaginal misoprostol for induction of labour) • APL 510(1.5mg SR melatonin for sleep disorders) • Smaller investment reaches market first • Proof of principle well known on each • Both already used “off licence” • Developments funded and underway • EU registration strategy • Possible introductions in H2 2005 and H2 2006 • 10 yr data protection for larger opportunity (APL 510) • Commercialisation strategy in place

  31. APL 202 – Market Background • Around 20-25% of labours in UK (150,000 - 175,000 pa)are induced (many more are augmented) • Two drug interventions in assisted labour • 1. Dinoprostone (a prostaglandin) for induction • “Ripens” (softens) cervix • Stimulates uterus to contract • 2. (Syntocinon – Alliance Pharma) for induction and augmentation • Is used to stimulate uterus to contract (if cervix is ripe) • Maintains contractions after labour has been started • Improvements sought over dinoprostone(ex market research) • Greater efficacy (more predictability, more deliveries achieved within 24hrs) • Reduced need for Caesarean sections • No need for refrigeration of the drug • Suitable for home initiation

  32. APL 202 – Current Knowledge on Misoprostol • Originally introduced to reduce gastric acid secretions • Large bibliography in obstetrics • Early usage was given orally • Current preference is for vaginal administration • Local action • Reduced side-effects • Some trials show greater efficacy than dinoprostone • Published trials unsuitable for registration • High awareness • Already used “off-licence” • But requires 3 serial cuts to the oral tablet (200mcg to 25mcg) • Does not require refrigeration

  33. APL 202 – Status of Development • Clinical Trial Application submitted • Ethics Committee Application submitted • Trialists currently being recruited (multi-centre) • Trials expected to commence September 2004 • Marketing Authorisation Application H1 2005 • Possible introduction H2 2005 • Low development cost (<£1m)

  35. APL 510 – Market Background (Sleep Disorders) • Sleep disorders are of many types • Anti-histamines are available OTC • GPs (and patients) are reluctant to use current therapies • Benzodiazepines • concerns over habituation and hangover effects • seen as unsuitable for children • Nevertheless UK prescription hypnotics market is £46m • Key product improvements desired (ex market research) • Non-addictive, especially for long term usage • No drowsiness or hangover the next day • Particularly for school children, teenagers and working adults • Product that will restore sleep to a normal pattern

  36. APL 510 – Market Background (Melatonin) • Melatonin freely available OTC in USA • Classified by FDA as a nutritional supplement • Melatonin sales banned in EU • Needs to be registered as a medicine • Melatonin used “off licence” in UK • Initiated by NHS specialists • Patient-specific usage continued by GPs • “Named patient” supply regulated by Dept of Health • manufactured under a “Specials” licence • controlled importation • Usage estimated at £3-4m per annum • Currently melatonin used mainly for sleep disorders in • Children with Special Needs ( a wide variety of conditions) • Blind patients

  37. APL 510 – Current Knowledge on Melatonin • Melatonin – hormone that regulates circadian rhythm (body clock) • Therapeutic melatonin has been shown to promote sleep in many different sleep disorders • large bibliography, but unsuitable for registration • Seen as a “natural” product • Current prescribers (ex market research) • Are very enthusiastic about its results • Biggest complaint is restrictions imposed by not having a marketing authorisation • Seek a formulation that is quick acting but has a prolonged release • Highawareness in GPs (ex market research) • 100% awareness • >50% had been involved in its usage via specialists

  38. APL 510 – Status of Development • Special release formulation has been developed • Phase 1 trials in human volunteers completed • Rapid production of therapeutic blood levels • Blood levels then maintained for 5 hours • Phase 3 clinical trials to commence H2 2004 • Regulatory submission planned for H1 2006 • Possible introduction H2 2006 • Will gain 10 yr data protection in EU regulatory system • Moderate development costs (£4-5m)

  40. APL 510 - Commercialisation • Alliance Pharma to market in UK & Ireland • To Specialists initially to gain endorsement for GPs • Will need GP sales force to accompany Hospital sales force • Existing GP / Hospital sales force in Ireland • GP marketing – significant investment • License out in rest of EU • Down payments plus royalty stream • EU sleep disorders market estimated at £500m
