FORMULATION CONSIDERATIONS TIED TODEVELOPMENT STRATEGYNew PharmacologyWell Known Pharmacology / TargetGet the drug into the clinic fast tovalidate new pharmacology Speed is most important Any formulation is fine Establish proof of concept inclinic regardless of formulationdevelopabilityPharmacology is well understoodand development is likely Choose formulation approachthat will be developable Spend time to optimizeformulation Ensure attractive commercialproduct profile9Need clinical data for proof of conceptPBSS 11FEB2020Follow on with new target product profile

EXENATIDE - A DELIVERY SCIENTISTS DREAM Highly potent drug – 10 to 20 micrograms per day Highly water soluble peptide – 100s mg/ml Good stability in aqueous solution Good metabolic stability Half-life of 1 to 2 hours in humans Choices for delivery system are virtually unlimited Yet, mistakes can be (and were) madePBSS 11FEB202011

EXENATIDE LIFE CYCLE OPPORTUNITIESEVALUATED IN AMYLIN-LILLY PROGRAM Nasal formulation taken into clinicTransdermal microporation taken into clinicPulmonary dry powder evaluated in preclinical workOral delivery evaluated in preclinical workAll of these formulations suffered from unacceptable PK issues Low bioavailability and high variability Shorter exposure times than SC injection (no absorption phase) GLP-1 peptides have significant Cmax tolerability issuesPBSS 11FEB202019

LESSONS FROM EXENATIDE LIFE CYCLETECHNOLOGY EVALUATION Byetta was launched in a good pen, but, with a refrigeration pack CMC post-approval supplement was able to achieve RT for 30 daysChallenges of microsphere sustained release formulation not well understood Initial interest in a once monthly product Weekly product was a compromise due to initial release from particlesBydureon was launched in a vial and syringe Importance of device was recognized too lateBydureon dual chamber pen was difficult and took too long At launch, inferior to other weekly GLP-1 products on the marketBydureon MS suspension could have been completed earlier ( !)Decision to build MS plant instead of working with CMOs ( )Singular focus on MS investment prevented other meaningful approachesPBSS 11FEB202022
