If you think what you are doing in school is only to please your teacher or get a grade, you are missing a chance to not only learn, but also practice what you will be doing in the “real world” after you graduate. So: Be on time Be prepared Speak up and contribute without fear Collaborate on your projects Make professional presentations N 5209 7

Game Rules Lectures Our guest speakers are industry professionals who volunteer their time to teach this class. 1. Please come to class on time. 2. Please do not do emails, texts, Amazon shopping, etc. during lectures. Computers or notepads are fine for taking notes, and they will be very useful during project time (the second half of class), so please bring them. 3. Please feel free to ask questions/interact with lecturers. This is a good opportunity for you to get to know experts in their fields who do drug development every day. N 5209 14
What you will deliver over the semester The good. . . Textbook: There is no expensive text book needed. We will provide articles as pre-read. Exams: There are no exams in this course! Semester Project: The Project Portfolio Two Class Presentations One Topic Debate Project portfolio: You will build you final project portfolio one step at a time as we proceed through the individual class sessions Debates: are more fun than work, honest. The bad. . . Teams: Your team members, therapeutic area, and target/compound are assigned (welcome to our world) Team grading: You will be graded as a team on your project portfolio including a component of peer feedback The ugly. . . Presentations: Holly has been known to bring students to tears. . . but Steve will make it up to you with a beer afterward. N 5209 15

Q: Is it really this simple? A: No way. n It is not a stepwise linear process. – The compound could be sent backward to further explore a safety issue or even skip phases – Some phases might be duplicated (e. g, combinations) n There is considerable overlap of activities between Phases. – Toxicology animal studies continue to the NDA – Phase 1 or Phase 2 clinical trials can be running concurrently with Phase 3 trials – Phase 1/2 studies. . . Phase 2/3 studies. . n There are other aspects of drug development beyond the Clinical Plan – Health Authorities beyond the FDA, like MHRA (UK), Health Canada, Ministry of Health (China), PMDA (Japan) – Parallel development processes: drug manufacturing (CMC), companion diagnostics – New competitor activities or changes in market demand could change the development strategy (Business teams) N 5209 28

Overview of Drug Discovery and Development Discovery Target Assessment (TA) Lead Series Identified (LSI) Clinical Lead(s) Selected (CLS) Target Identification and Validation Lead Identification Lead Optimization Identify a biological pathway and molecular structure of interest Identify one or more leads (biological or chemical compounds) that interact with the target to get the desired therapeutic effect. Optimize the physicochemical characteristics of the compound to make it more druggable. N 5209 Clinical Candidate(s) Selected (CCS) Entry Into Human (EIH) Preclinical or Nonclinical Testing Demonstrate safety in animals prior to human trials, show therapeutic advantages 34
