◎CROとバイオ医薬品業界の戦略提携の現状のリポート発表

共同JBN 0453 (2013.4.23)

【ボストン2013年4月22日】有力な世界的バイオ医薬品サービス会社であるパレクセル・インターナショナル(PAREXEL International)(ナスダック:PRXL)は22日、米フロリダ州オーランドでの「第22回臨床試験における提携関係年次会議」で、新たな調査リポート「戦略的提携関係2013」を発表した。このリポートはアウトソーシングの現状と戦略的提携がすべての規模のバイオ医薬品会社に提供する価値を初めて探ったものである。戦略的提携はバイオ医薬品会社と臨床研究機関(CRO)(http://www.parexel.com/)の間の複数年の高度総合契約である。

同リポートで戦略的提携に関与し、インタビューを受けたバイオ医薬品業界の経営者85%が自社とCROとの関係は好影響を受けたと信じていることがわかった。経営者は臨床開発に対するより総合的なアプローチが自分の過失のレベルを下げ、固定コストを減少させ、内部では発見できなかった能力へのアクセスを提供すると信じている。

パレクセル・インターナショナルのジョセフ・フォン・リッケンバック役員会長兼最高経営責任者(CEO)は「戦略的提携関係2013はバイオ医薬品会社が円滑な統合、統一された目標、相互的な投資を通じて、より大きな価値を推進するために戦略的提携関係を結ぶことの重要性が増大していることを強調している。また同リポートは戦略的提携には、サイクル時間に対する追加的な共同集中、専門知識の共有、効率的な監視モデルを通じて生み出せるさらなる利点があることを示している」と語っている。

リポートのためにインタビューを受けた業界経営者は、戦略的提携が新たな療法を開発、商業化する手段を変革していると信じている。しかし、経営者は絶えず変化する規制環境の問題に適切、効果的に対応するようにモデルは変化しなければならないと指摘している。次世代の戦略的提携のビジョンについての質問には、商業的インセンティブの統一化、より深いチーム協力(戦略的および目標を定めた専門知識)、サイクル時間の改善による市場進出時間の短縮が上位3点に挙げられた。

今週開かれる「年次提携関係会議」(4月24日)で、フォン・リッケンバック会長は「2013年の医薬品の経済見通しに関するウォールストリート・リーダーシップ・パネルーアウトソーシング業界にとっての機会、投資領域、効果」というテーマのセッション/ラウンドテーブルでパネリストを務める。そのプレゼンテーションの一環として同会長はパレクセルの経験に基づく戦略的提携の利点と意味およびCRO(http://www.parexel.com/)業界の将来の見通しについて述べる。

▽「戦略的提携関係2013」について

中立系の調査会社であるブームズ・リサーチ&コンサルティング社はこのリポートのためにCスイート(経営幹部)のリーダーや臨床業務、研究開発、戦略的アウトソーシングの責任者など、世界的なバイオ医薬品会社を代表する上級レベルの経営者に突っ込んだインタビューを行った(n=26)。サンプルには71%の大規模医薬品会社、12%の中規模医薬品会社、17%の小規模医薬品会社が含まれている。インタビューは2012年秋に英語で行われた。参加者は合計で業界の研究開発支出の39%を占める企業を代表する。リポートには現在の臨床開発アウトソーシング(http://www.parexel.com/)と戦略的提携の状態をよりよく理解するために量的、質的問題が含まれている。このため一部の問題では合計が100%を超える。

New PAREXEL Report Defines The Next Generation Of Strategic Partnerships Between CROs And Biopharmaceutical Industry

PR52787

BOSTON, Apr. 22, 2013 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

   Majority of biopharma executives believe Strategic Partnerships positively

                impact their engagement with CROs

    PAREXEL International (NASDAQ: PRXL), a leading global biopharmaceutical

services organization, today released a new research report called Strategic

Partnerships 2013 at the 22nd Annual Partnerships in Clinical Trials Conference

in Orlando, FL. The report is the first to explore the current outsourcing

landscape and the value Strategic Partnerships provide to biopharmaceutical

companies of all sizes. Strategic Partnerships are multi-year,

highly-integrated engagements between biopharmaceutical companies and clinical

research organizations (http://www.parexel.com/ )(CROs).

    The report found that 85% of biopharmaceutical industry executives

interviewed and who were engaged in Strategic Partnerships, believe that the

relationship between their companies and CROs were positively impacted.

Executives believe this more integrated approach to clinical development

reduces their level of oversight, decreases fixed costs and provides them with

access to capabilities not found internally.

    "Strategic Partnerships 2013 highlights the growing importance to

biopharmaceutical companies of engaging in Strategic Partnerships to drive

greater value through seamless integration, aligned goals and mutual

investment," said Josef von Rickenbach, Chairman of the Board and Chief

Executive Officer of PAREXEL International. "The report also illustrates that

there are further benefits of Strategic Partnerships that can be generated

through additional joint focus on cycle times, shared expertise and efficient

oversight models."

    The industry executives interviewed for this report believe Strategic

Partnerships are transforming the way new therapies are developed and

commercialized. However, they also noted that the model must evolve to

adequately and effectively meet the challenges of a constantly changing

regulatory environment. When asked about the vision for the next-generation of

Strategic Partnerships, the respondents identified increased alignment in

commercial incentives, deeper team collaboration (strategic and targeted

expertise) and faster time-to-market through improved cycle times as the top

three areas.

    Later this week at the Annual Partnerships conference (Wednesday, April

24), Mr. von Rickenbach will serve as a panelist at a session/roundtable

titled, "Wall Street Leadership Panel on the Economic Outlook for Pharma in

2013 - Opportunities, Investment Areas and Effects on the Outsourcing

Industry." As part of his presentation, he will discuss the benefits and

implications of Strategic Partnerships based on PAREXEL's experience, and the

CRO (http://www.parexel.com/ ) industry's future outlook.

    About Strategic Partnerships 2013

    For the report, Booms Research & Consulting, Inc. - an independent research

firm conducted in-depth interviews among senior-level executives such as

C-suite leaders as well as heads of clinical operations, R&D, and strategic

outsourcing, representing global biopharmaceutical companies (n=26). The sample

size included: 71% large pharmaceutical companies, 12% mid-sized pharmaceutical

companies, and 17% small biopharmaceutical companies. The interviews were

conducted in English in the fall 2012. Participants represent companies with

39% of industry R&D spend. The report included both quantitative and

qualitative questions to better understand the current state of clinical

development outsourcing (http://www.parexel.com/ ) and strategic partnerships.

The survey includes both single and multiple response questions. As such, some

percentages will exceed 100%.
