EXECUTIVE INFORMATIONAL OVERVIEW Development, Clinical Practice, and Venture Development TopoTarget A/S Symbion Science Park 3 Fruebjergvej DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark Phone: +45 39 17 83 90 www.TopoTarget.com Unique Oncological Biopharmaceutical Opportunity Snapshot January 26, 2005 TopoTarget A/S is a privately held biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel pharmaceuticals for cancer† and cancer-related indications, as well as on the identification of new indications for existing compounds. The Company’s first internally developed product, Topotect, is in Phase III as an antidote for extravasation, a severe form of tissue damage resulting from an incorrect administration of cytotoxic anthracyclines or chemotherapy drugs. Pending approval, the Company could launch Topotect in winter 2005/2006. This product, based on the concept of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage control, would provide TopoTarget access to profitable, lower-risk markets. TopoTarget is also developing Topotect for the treatment of brain metastases, a life-threatening condition that affects approximately 60% of primary small cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients. Topotect recently entered Phase I/II clinical trials for this indication. Additionally, TopoTarget is heavily involved in the management of chromatins, the proteins responsible for the formation of DNA-containing chromosomes. The Company’s expertise in this area has led to the development of PXD101, a Phase I anti-cancer histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor that interferes with cell cycle arrest and angiogenesis, and has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in vivo. TopoTarget expects to employ this drug to target a variety of cancer indications, including multiple myeloma, malignant lymphoma, and ovarian, colorectal, and prostate cancer. TopoTarget also has a library of diverse HDAC inhibitors that have demonstrated efficacy in a variety of cancer and non-cancer indications. Key Points TopoTarget has three products in clinical trials, as well as approximately a half-dozen preclinical stage compounds. The Company’s most advanced product, Topotect, was granted Orphan Drug designation as an antidote for anthracycline extravasation in Europe in 2001 and could receive approval within the next 12 months. Orphan Drug designation was also granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2004. Following approval, TopoTarget expects to sell the product in Europe and partner it outside of Europe with a large pharmaceutical company. In May 2004, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and TopoTarget signed a letter of intent to enter into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) to conduct the preclinical and clinical development of PXD101, TopoTarget’s proprietary HDAC inhibitor. The agreement involves the determination of the most appropriate anti-cancer agents for use in combination with PXD101. Also, the NCI and TopoTarget are collaborating on the identification of anti-cancer drug candidates from TopoTarget’s library of HDAC inhibitors. In June 2004, TopoTarget and U.S.-based CuraGen Corporation (CRGN-NASDAQ) announced a license, collaboration, and commercialization agreement on a small molecule inhibitor program targeting HDAC in oncology. TopoTarget was founded by clinical oncologists who have an understanding of the realities of clinical practice. This enables the Company to choose intelligently between an array of possibilities and targets. Additionally, the Company has proven in-house clinical trial capabilities. TopoTarget’s leadership team is experienced in medical products, biopharmaceuticals, and pharmaceuticals, and has a track record of success over many decades in research, drug EXECUTIVE INFORMATIONAL OVERVIEW development, clinical practice, and venture development. The Company has achieved all of its key business and scientific milestones since its last funding round in June 2002. Over the next 24 months, TopoTarget could achieve more than a half-dozen separate potential revenue-generating milestones. †BOLD WORDS ARE REFERENCED IN GLOSSARY ON PAGES 45-48.

The Company’s development efforts employ a broad understanding of the molecular mechanisms of cancer and the realities of clinical practice to develop new and potentially effective approaches to combat the various manifestations of the disease. Pipeline TopoTarget’s pipeline is based on two pillars: (1) early revenues from specialty products, and (2) value growth from more broad indication products. With regard to the first pillar, the Company could launch its first product, Topotect for extravasation, in winter 2005/2006. Topotect could provide the Company with a base for top-line growth and profitability by 2007. Additionally, TopoTarget is developing Topotect (currently in Phase I/II) for brain metastases and PXD101 (currently in Phase I) for multiple indications. The Company also possesses a range of preclinical compounds targeted at a variety of indications. Figure 1 provides a snapshot of the Company’s drug development pipeline, according to advanced stage and early stage development candidates. This is followed by an overview of its three leading and most advanced product candidates under development, as well as its earlier stage development candidates.

  • Master Thesis
    Master Thesis University-Industry collaborations – What are potential conflicts and how to mitigate them? A study on the Danish pharmaceutical industry Master Thesis – Management of Innovation and Business Development (MIB) Supervisor: Christoph Grimpe Hand in: 02.05.2017 Overall number of pages: 114 No. of Characters: 249.408 Kristina Homann Fabian Steinhart Copenhagen Business School May 02nd 2017 Abstract: The purpose of this master thesis is to find answers for two underlying research questions, namely the conflicts companies experience when engaging in University-Industry collaborations, hereafter referred to as U-I collaborations, and the levers firms can pull to increase the attractiveness of U-I collaborations. To provide the theoretical basis for the answering of the research questions, the formation process, different types, motivations as well as outcomes for U-I collaborations from a firm’s perspective are considered. Following this, a selection of theoretical internal and external conflicts and corresponding levers is provided. Taking a more practical approach, the above mentioned theoretical basis is analyzed and discussed in the remaining part of this master thesis, using a deductive research approach. Based on a preparatory scoping interview process, three Danish pharmaceutical companies, namely Novo Nordisk, Lundbeck and LEO Pharma, have been selected for a semi-structured qualitative interview process. Thereby, the conflicts the companies are facing, namely the difficult interactions with the legal departments of the universities and the firm internal dissemination of the knowledge gathered during the U-I collaboration, are found as the main conflicts from the companies’ perspective resulting in a need to consider the implementation of counteracting levers.

  • A Preclinical Study on the Rescue of Normal Tissue by Nicotinic Acid in High-Dose Treatment with APO866, a Specific Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Inhibitor
    Published OnlineFirst June 1, 2010; DOI: 10.1158/1535-7163.MCT-09-1130 Research Article Molecular Cancer Therapeutics A Preclinical Study on the Rescue of Normal Tissue by Nicotinic Acid in High-Dose Treatment with APO866, a Specific Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Inhibitor Uffe Høgh Olesen1,2, Annemette V. Thougaard2, Peter Buhl Jensen2, and Maxwell Sehested1,2 Abstract Inhibitor of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase APO866 is a promising cancer drug currently in phase II clinical trials in oncology. Here, we present a strategy for increasing the therapeutic potential of APO866 through the rescue of normal tissues by coadministration of nicotinic acid (Vitamin B3). We examined the toxicity profile of APO866 in B6D2F1 mice and the effect of oral administration of nicotinic acid on tissue toxicity. Nicotinic acid (50 mg/kg) protects mice from death and severe toxicity from an APO866 dose (60 mg/kg) four times the monotherapy maximum tolerated dose (15 mg/kg). In a panel of six cancer cell lines, we find that three (including ML-2 cells) are protected by nicotinic acid in vitro, whereas the cytotoxi- city of APO866 remains unaffected in the remaining three (including A2780 cells). A selective biomarker for the protection by nicotinic acid was subsequently identified by quantitative RT-PCR. The expression of nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase is low in the cell lines not rescued from APO866 by nicotinic acid compared with protected cell lines. The findings in cell lines translated into xenograft models in which the combination of 50 mg/kg nicotinic acid and 50 mg/kg APO866 in mouse xenografts of A2780 cells increased life span by >3-fold compared with standard treatment of 15 mg/kg, and the effect of APO866 was clearly decreased when using the same treatment paradigm in ML-2 xenografts.
