Healthcare Megatrends: How will Megatrends Impact Healthcare Deals?
Sharon Finch, CEO Medius Associates
Based on Medius monthly review of pharma deals which captures the top deals by public headline value plus other deals of note.
We include deals in the month of announcement and typically update on closure.
HEADLINE VALUESAs frequently quoted in press releases, based on the sum of initial [upfront / signature] payments, option fees, R&D funding, development milestone payments, sales threshold and other success or contingent payments, as cash or equity. This does not typically include royalty payments.

• Deal economics and payer pricing • Telemedicine: the expectations from future
technologies • Innovation gaps and sourcing new opportunities
– from NGOs and universities • Competitive nature of finding new technologies
– following the crowd, chasing emerging indications• Adaptations in deal structures
– e.g. joint ventures and co developments
Outline
Megatrends are sustained, global, social, economic, political, environmental ortechnological changes. These trends will make a considerable and durable impact on thehealthcare environment by creating new opportunities, challenges and risks.

Megatrends: economic
Key deal trends 2016
• Decline in volume / value of deals?– is it now time for companies to consolidate?
• Investment in digital and tele medicine via joint ventures
• Continuing appetite for opportunities in the immuno-oncology space
• Growing interest in new indications for example NASH
• Risk sharing approaches deployed– widespread use of options – co-developments between major pharma
Megatrends: sustained, global, social, economic or technological changes.
Evaluate data shows M&A and partnering deals in decline in 2016.
Based on Q3 2016 results published by Mergermarket for pharma and biotech, the cumulative deal value could be around 30% less than last year in spite of major M&A deals.

Megatrends: economic, political
• published studies compare all-oral, direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens to previous SoC (usually IFN) to calculate incremental cost effective ratios (ICERs).
• treating patients with more advanced fibrosis/ cirrhosis provided better value • treatment-naïve patients are generally within the range of other therapies. • cost-effectiveness is difficult to judge due to changes in available drugs, cost
variability and patient characteristics e.g. fibrosis stage, comorbidities, HCV genotype

• Pricing limitations for rare diseases: – Biogen’s Spinraza was approved in Dec 2016 for the
treatment of spinal muscular atrophy [SMA] an ultra rare disease
– Cost p.a. will be $750k for the first year, $375k for subsequent years.
• This compares with other ultra-orphan disease therapies e.g. Alexion’s Soliris, that has a list price of $500k pa.

Megatrends: impact on the healthcare landscape
• Novartis passed on 3 off strategy projects to new company Mereo which is being launched with $119 m financing
• development will be conducted by the CRO Icon.• Novartis secured equity in the company with a promise of
funds for future development • the company is backed by Woodford Investment
Management and Invesco-• Mereo gains access to
– BPS-804, an antibody which has been in development for brittle bone syndrome (osteogenesis imperfecta), an orphan condition.
– BCT-197, an oral p38 MAP kinase inhibitor for COPD.– BGS-649, a testosterone drug that's an oral
aromatase inhibitor for hypogonadotrophichypogonadism.
Keeping a watching brief: orphans• Companies are covering their bets in the orphan space often
investing through the venture arms of the business
• Minoryx secured funding from Roche’s venture funds as well as from Chiesi Ventures. The lead MIN-102 which targets X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), has just eceivedorphan designation

Megatrends: technological
Conclusions and predictions• The deal making trends seen from
2016 seem set to continue into 2017• Digital health will be a major area for
companies to make for exploratory deal investments
• Political uncertainty will not be quickly dispelled which may limit major M&A
• Product divestments will continue at a low level of activity
• New therapies will continue to drive the demand for early stage deals
Megatrends: sustained, global, social, economic, political, environmental ortechnological changes.
