EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3

Scope 3

Insight into R&D licensing strategies 3

Licensing is a major part of pharmaceutical companies' business models. However, the deal attrition rate is very high 4

As target validation becomes the key technology to in-license, competition to partner with target validation companies will increase dramatically 7

Despite the high cost, accessing late-stage products will continue to be a priority for pharmaceutical companies 9

Cancer and CNS products are the most competitive areas where companies are making licensing agreements 11

CHAPTER 1 PROBLEM DEFINITION 18

Key findings 18

Why do pharma and biotech companies have to make licensing agreements? 19

Many existing blockbusters are the result of licensing agreements 19

The incentives for licensing 20

Pharmaceutical companies – drivers for licensing 21

Pharmaceutical companies – resistors to licensing 25

Biotechnology companies – drivers for licensing 27

Biotechnology companies – resistors to licensing 31

Current problems with licensing agreements: where are companies going wrong? 32

Increasingly complex licensing deals making them difficult to manage 33

Non-compatible goals and working cultures of partner companies 34

Key personnel leaving 34

Most large pharmas are increasing their reliance on licensing from 2001 to 2007 34

Further licensing must be conducted for pharmaceutical companies to reach the elusive double-digit growth year-on-year 36

Current licensing strategies 38

Licensing trends 39

US pharmaceutical companies spent 11.7 per cent of their R&D budget on biotechnology licensing deals in 2001 39

2002 – a bad year for licensing deals 40

Top 20 pharmaceutical companies have reduced the number of deals by a third 41

The drug development process – where are pharmaceutical companies making licensing deals? 42

Large pharma focus on technology licensing deals 43

CHAPTER 2 DEAL STRUCTURE AND VALUE IN DISCOVERY 46

Key findings 46

Why are technology licensing deals important? 47

Why not acquire technology companies? 48

Technology deal trends 48

Technology deals are increasing in value 49

Target validation – the key area in technology deal making 49

Pharmacogenomics is now seen by the industry as the most important technology 51

One in five drug development collaborations are for monoclonal antibodies 53

Cancer and CNS – key areas of drug development activity 54

Technology licensing deals – will companies continue to invest in discovery technologies? 55

Bioinformatics 56

Microarray 64

Proteomics 70

Pharmacogenomics 73

Target validation 79

Drug development licensing deals 84

Millennium and Aventis 85

CuraGen and Bayer – a $1 billion collaboration 85

Millennium and Abbott – collaborating on obesity and diabetes drug development 86

Typical deal structure 87

Upfront payments 87

Milestone payments 88

Drug royalties 88

Expected return on investment 89

The cost of developing a drug beyond target identification 90

The cost-benefit trade-off – technology agreements versus product licensing 90

CHAPTER 3 DEAL STRUCTURE AND VALUE IN CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT 94

Key findings 94

Clinical deals are the focus for company investment 95

High failure rates of key licensing deals, 1999-2002 96

Large pharmaceutical companies are reliant on in-licensing products to improve their growth prospects 97

GlaxoSmithKline case study – license, license, license! 98

R&D productivity is low 101

Large pharma are committed to in-licensing development compounds 104

Early-stage deals are increasing in importance because phase III product licensing deals are in short supply 106

The choice of therapy areas that large pharmaceutical companies in-license products for, is dependent on the market growth and level of unmet need they offer 107

Cancer is the therapy area of choice 109

Typical deal structure – minimizing upfront investments 117

There are no fixed rules in deal structures 119

Two emerging trends in the structure of licensing agreements: minimizing upfront payments and offering 'quid pro quo' drugs 123

Minimizing upfront investments – reduce losses if the deal fails 123

Offering 'quid pro quo' drugs – maximizing the effectiveness of biotechnology companies' input. 124

Expected return on investment 125

Net present value 126

Monte Carlo simulation 128

Real options 128

Adjusted present value 129

CHAPTER 4 BEST PRACTICE DEAL CREATION AND MAINTENANCE 130

Key findings 130

The in-licensing process from a pharmaceutical company's perspective 131

Specify – licensing deals must support overall corporate strategy 133

Identify – companies must be proactive in searching for licensing opportunities 134

Evaluate – companies must consider both the technical and cultural aspects potential licensing deals 136

Secure – pharmaceutical companies must be positioned as the 'licensing partner of choice' 139

Initiate – companies must actively manage licensing agreements from the outset 141

Manage - managing relationships and maintaining trust is critical for the success of licensing agreements 143

Termination 145

Pharmaceutical companies should buy biotechnology companies, if the conditions are right 146

Acquiring a company following a successful licensing agreement 146

Acquiring a biotechnology company without full integration 147

Gaining access to biotechnology company pipelines without acquiring the company 148

The biotechnology sector will consolidate – decreasing the number of partnership opportunities 148

Implications for pharmaceutical-biotechnology licensing deals 149

CHAPTER 5 APPENDIX 150
