For any Joint Global Trial (other than a Confirmatory Joint Global Trial), Hutchmed may enter into an agreement with a Third Party contract research organization (a, “Hutchmed CRO”) to provide management and oversight services for the conduct of the Joint Global Trial in the Territory, at Hutchmed’s expense, subject to Section 9.3(c)(i).

 

The Parties acknowledge and agree on the need to conduct a Joint Global Trial both in and outside the Territory using the same protocol. To the extent an amendment to Epizyme’s study protocol is required to comply with Applicable Law or the requirements of any Regulatory Authority in or outside the Territory, then the Parties agree that (A) if the amendment is required due to Applicable Law or notice from a Regulatory Authority in the Territory, Hutchmed will provide prompt written notice to Epizyme, or if the amendment is required due to Applicable Law or notice from a Regulatory Authority outside the Territory, Epizyme will provide prompt written notice to Hutchmed, (B) the Parties will discuss the potential amendment and agree upon the strategy for interacting with the Regulatory Authorities in and outside the Territory, (C) each Party will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the approval of the Regulatory Authorities in its respective territory to an amendment to the protocol that satisfies the Regulatory Authorities both in and outside the Territory and the protocol shall not be amended until such

4

 


 

approvals have been obtained, and (D) if such approvals have not been obtained, the Parties shall discuss and mutually agree upon how each Party will proceed in its respective territory (which shall not be subject to decision-making under Section 3.10).

 

(ii) Additional Obligations of the Parties for Confirmatory Joint Global Trials. Notwithstanding subsection (i) above, the Parties shall enter into an agreement among Hutchmed, Epizyme, and a mutually agreed upon reputable contract research organization (a “Joint Global CRO”) to provide management and oversight services for the conduct of the Confirmatory Joint Global Trial in the Territory, which organization shall be the same contract research organization as the Epizyme CRO, unless otherwise agreed. The agreement among Hutchmed, Epizyme, and the Joint Global CRO (“Joint Global CRO Agreement”) shall: (A) provide that, except as provided in subsection (d) below, Hutchmed shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the conduct of the Confirmatory Joint Global Trial in the Territory, including any Joint Global CRO costs and any pass-through expenses to clinical sites, in accordance with Section 9.3, and (B) provide, in sufficient detail, the roles and responsibilities of Epizyme (such responsibilities, the “Epizyme Confirmatory Responsibilities”), Hutchmed, and the Joint Global CRO for the conduct of the Confirmatory Joint Global Trial, which roles and responsibilities shall be consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and will include that an Epizyme Entity will be the Sponsor of the Confirmatory Joint Global Trial in the Territory.

 

(iii) 302 Global Trial in Mainland China. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to the 302 Global Trial in Mainland China, the Parties will have the responsibilities set forth in the [**] 3-Party CRO Agreement or, in the event of termination of the [**] 3-Party CRO Agreement, such other Joint Global CRO Agreement among Epizyme, Hutchmed and a Joint Global CRO that will contain substantially similar terms. Without limiting the foregoing:

 

(A) Except as set forth in clause (B) below, Hutchmed is responsible for study operationalization in the Territory and the supervision of [**] (and [**] subcontractors’) operationalization activities under the [**] 3-Party CRO Agreement ([**] subcontractors, as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, include the subcontractors listed on Appendix E (which is hereby attached to the Agreement as Exhibit J)), and

 

(B) Epizyme is the Sponsor of the 302 Global Trial in Mainland China and Epizyme is responsible, itself or through [**], for the Epizyme Confirmatory Responsibilities which consist of the following: all regulatory activities and interactions with Regulatory Authorities in Mainland China (itself or through [**], in [**] capacity as Epizyme’s Authorized Regulatory Agent) including any activities or interactions regarding material or non-material changes to the clinical trial; medical monitoring; pharmacovigilance; any amendments to the Study protocol, investigator brochure, and manuals; global vendors involved in global activities (which, as of the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, include the vendors on Appendix E and Epizyme will notify Hutchmed in writing of any change of vendors); clinical supply of Licensed Product (under the Supply Agreement) and placebo, rituximab, and lenalidomide pursuant to Section 7.6 of this Agreement; and data management, translational medicine, biostatistics, and medical writing. Epizyme will have oversight of the conduct of the Study in Mainland China to ensure consistency with the conduct of the Study globally. All drug unblinding discussions and decisions will be escalated to Epizyme for review and final approval prior to unblinding under the [**] 3-Party CRO Agreement. [**] will be responsible for negotiating contracts with the sites using the template agreement provided by Epizyme and Hutchmed. Any modifications to such template must be reviewed and approved by Hutchmed prior to execution; provided that any modification to the template that impacts safety or Epizyme’s liability, intellectual property rights, or use of study data must be reviewed and approved by Epizyme. If any clinical site will not begin negotiations with the template agreement provided by Epizyme and Hutchmed and requires that its own template agreement be used, [**] will submit such trial site’s template to Epizyme and Hutchmed for review and any modifications will reviewed and approved in the same manner as modifications to the Epizyme/Hutchmed template agreement. [**] will be responsible for drafting informed consent forms for review by approval by Hutchmed (and review by Epizyme to ensure conformance with global ICF). Hutchmed shall reimburse Epizyme’s costs and expenses for the 302 Global Trial in Mainland China in accordance with Sections 7.6 and 9.3(c) of this Agreement, and, with respect to Licensed Product for use in the 302 Global Trial in Mainland China, the

5

 


 

Supply Agreement. In the event Hutchmed determines to expand the 302 Global Trial to include sites in Hong Kong and/or Macau, Hutchmed will notify Epizyme in writing and the Parties shall agree on a plan to implement the trial in these Jurisdictions, with the understanding that these Jurisdictions will be handled in the same manner as Mainland China.

 

(C) For clarity, the Parties agree that the 302 Global Trial is (1) a Confirmatory Joint Global Trial required to be conducted as part of the FDA’s accelerated Regulatory Approval of the Licensed Product, and (2) a confirmatory trial that will be used to support full Regulatory Approval by the Regulatory Authority in Mainland China. As a result, subject to Section 4.5(b)(i), neither Party will make any change to the Protocol for the 302 Global Trial or any other Confirmatory Joint Global Trial without the prior written approval of the other Party (which shall not be subject to decision-making under Section 3.10).

For clarity, once Hutchmed has passed such quality audit, then the proviso in the foregoing sentence shall not apply to any subsequent Joint Global Trial.

 

(d) [Section 4.5(d) intentionally omitted by the Parties]

 

(e) 301 Global Trial. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event Epizyme determines, after consultation with the FDA, to discontinue the 301 Global Trial outside the Territory, then (i) the 301 Global Trial shall no longer be a Joint Global Trial and Hutchmed shall no longer be obligated to participate in such clinical trial, and (ii) ES shall no longer be an Initial Indication for purposes of this Agreement.

If the relevant Regulatory Authorities in Mainland China will not accept the submission as described in the previous sentence and will not allow such IND application to be filed in Hutchmed’s name, then Hutchmed shall file in Epizyme’s name and Epizyme shall be the IND applicant, and if such application is approved, the IND holder for such Imported Drug Trial;

(iv) unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, a Hutchmed Entity shall be the IND applicant, and if such application is approved, the IND holder for any Local Trial or Joint Global Trial (other than any Confirmatory Joint Global Trial) in Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau; and

(v) notwithstanding the foregoing subsections (i)-(iv), if the Regulatory Authorities in Mainland China do not permit Hutchmed to file for an IND for any Imported Drug Trial (other than any Confirmatory Joint Global Trial) for an Approved Indication as provided in subsection (iii) above, then a Hutchmed Entity shall file the IND in Epizyme’s name and Epizyme shall be the IND applicant, and if such application is approved, the IND holder, for any Imported Drug Trial (other than any Confirmatory Joint Global Trial) in Mainland China for an Approved Indication.

Epizyme acknowledges and understands that, if it is a holder of import drug license in respect of the Imported Drug in the Territory, it will have an obligation to make certain required filings with the relevant Regulatory Authority. Epizyme agrees that, so long as Epizyme holds a valid and effective import drug license in the Territory in respect of Imported Drug, it will provide Hutchmed with any documentation required under Applicable Law to be submitted to Regulatory Authorities by the holder of an import drug license, it being understood that Hutchmed, as Epizyme’s Authorized Regulatory Agent, will report such information to the relevant Regulatory Authorities for and on behalf of Epizyme for the purposes of satisfying Epizyme’s obligations as a holder of import drug license.

(c) Authorized Regulatory Agent.

(i) The Parties agree that [**] is and shall continue to be Epizyme’s Authorized Regulatory Agent for the 302 Global Trial in Mainland China, except that Epizyme shall provide written notice to [**] that [**] shall no longer be Epizyme’s Authorized Regulatory Agent under the [**] 3-Party CRO Agreement at such time as database lock has occurred for the 302 Global Trial and all regulatory interactions and communications in Mainland China with respect to the 302 Global Trial have occurred up to, but not including, preparing or submitting documents for, or meeting or interacting with Regulatory Authorities regarding, the Regulatory Approval in Mainland China for the use of Licensed Product in combination with lenalidomide and rituximab for R/R FL. At such time, (A) if Hutchmed or an Affiliate meets the criteria established by the Regulatory Authorities in Mainland China (such as having Local Drug available for use in Mainland China upon the Manufacturing Technology Transfer Completion Date (as defined in the Supply Agreement)) to submit such a Regulatory Approval application in the name of Hutchmed or an Affiliate in Mainland China, then Epizyme shall not engage a replacement Authorized Regulatory Agent and Hutchmed may appoint an Authorized Regulatory Agent in its discretion for such submission; or (B) if Hutchmed or an Affiliate does not meet the criteria established by the Regulatory Authorities in Mainland China (such not having Local Drug available for use in Mainland China) to

8

 


 

submit such a Regulatory Approval application in the name of Hutchmed or an Affiliate in Mainland China, then Epizyme shall authorize Hutchmed to replace [**] as Epizyme’s Authorized Regulatory Agent (the “ARA Replacement”), and Hutchmed shall assume the responsibilities as Epizyme’s Authorized Regulatory Agent for such Regulatory Approval. Epizyme shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall amend, execute and deliver all such documents and instruments (including amending the Work Order to the [**] 3-Party CRO Agreement) as Hutchmed may reasonably request in order to carry out the ARA Replacement. The Parties agree that [**] is and shall continue to be Epizyme’s Authorized Regulatory Agent for the 302 Global Trial in Taiwan. The engagement of an Authorized Regulatory Agent by Epizyme for any other Confirmatory Joint Global Trial in the Territory will be handled in a manner consistent with the foregoing.
