Investing in innovation

230 September 2013GSK at a glance

£3.5bnR&D investment in 2012

Increasing trust through open science

“At GSK we recognize that great science happens outside as well as inside our walls. In fact, we see collaborations with other researchers as an important component of our R&D activities, complementing our in-house efforts and advancing scientific understanding in key areas and facilitating the rapid discovery and development of new medicines for patients.”

DDW Open Innovation Approach

4

Investment in DDW to act as a catalyst and stimulate research outside of GSK

22nd October 2013D34DDW

1. Providing access to our

know-how and resources via

the open lab

2. Sharing our data with the

research community – “open

source”

3. Being more flexible with

our IP

Three key elements

K. Guy, R. Gilbertson (St. Jude CRH)• Neurosphere models of rare pediatric cancers

The Kinome Test Set: > 100 collaborations

V. Lemmon, J. Bixby (U. of Miami)• High content imaging in primary rat neurons

Research Milestones

Candidate Clinical NMEs

POCs and C2MD

A discovery team with the remit to build a rolling pipeline of 13

candidate medicines, with an academic partner at the center of each project.

A collaborative approach from GSK

Build integrated partnerships that can translate

innovative research into medicines that benefit patients.

GSK has capabilities and expertise which will help

progress the project to the next milestone.

A path to identification of a drug molecule can be defined.

Target knowledge suggests that a drug-like molecule can

be generated.

Academic partner has know-how and/or expertise essential to

progressing the target which is not (readily) found elsewhere.

Specific drug target identified, and some understanding

of type of pharmacology desired.

What Are We Looking For?

A coherent and supportable hypothesis that modulation of

target will produce a physiological effect which will be of

therapeutic benefit to particular patients.

Academic researchers who:

• Want to be involved in turning their innovative research

into medicines

• Will contribute their own effort and resources to making

projects work

• Have recognised expertise in their chosen field

• Bring something unique to the collaboration

Who is best suited for DPAc ?

Managing the relationship

• A co-authored and detailed work plan creates a framework to

promote rapid project initiation and execution

• Working together – Joint Research Committee

• Joint investment of time/energy/resource to progress the

project at both partner sites

• Strong interactive relationships between project team

• Equitable approach to IP

– Academic will receive commercial rights if GSK terminates the collaboration

How these new projects operate

Collaborative partnerships focussed on drug discovery

Starts at any point from initiation of early screening to late lead optimisation

Considers any disease area

Operates in any geography

Looks for a complementary match of skills where GSK can make a positive

contribution to success

This isn’t

✗Support for exploratory work

✗Focus on technology platforms

Discovery Fast Track Competition

• For the first time, GSK will open access to its internal screening

capability—and industrialize a novel discovery concept posed by U.S.

and Canadian academic institutions

• Promising results may lead to an opportunity for the academic

institution and GSK to collaborate via the Discovery Partnerships for

Academia (DPAc) team

• The researcher provides a novel drug development concept that may include

assay protocols, tools, reagents and models

• GSK contributes an established capability to scale up and industrialize

assays and data analysis

How Does Discovery Fast Track Work?

70 institutions participated and 47% were new to DPAc
