Part A: Project Goals & Execution Strategy

 

Executive Summary

 

Jaguar has requested that Patheon develop a 20mg and 80mg Crofelemer tablet (the “Product”) for use in animals. The process and formulation will be the same as that used with Fulyzaq tablets that are manufactured for Salix. An assumption is made that the tablets will be dose proportional to the 125 mg tablets. The blend will be compressed into tablets and then enteric coated. Up to two feasibility batches will be manufactured followed by registration batches of each strength, with matching placebo batches.

 

This Proposal (consisting of Parts A through G) when executed by Patheon and Client will become a contract binding on the parties (the “Contract”). The term of the Contract will be from the Effective Date until completion by Patheon of these Services. This Proposal is a time-limited offer, which will remain open for acceptance by Client for 60 days of the issue date noted below. Following the expiry of this offer, Patheon may, at its sole option, waive the time limit or rescind this offer without further notice to Client.

 

Date of Confidentiality Agreement: January 15, 2014, as amended.

Part D: Project Activities

 

In order to deliver Crofelemer 20 mg and 80 mg Enteric Coated Tablets to Client, Patheon proposes to execute the project activities as described below. Please note that any estimated durations illustrated below for completing an activity should be viewed as stand-alone, non-binding examples only at this stage which may not take any pre-requisite or associated activities into account.

 

1.                                      Project Start-Up

 

Goal:

 

·                  To co-ordinate and schedule initial project kick off activities within Patheon site, and to ensure the correct handling, storage and safety instructions for the API are followed.

 

Deliverables:

 

·                  Scientific review of Client technical documentation, literature review in preparation for project implementation, documentation support for receipt of Client materials (API), procurement support for project specific items (e.g. raw materials, tooling, analytical columns), scheduling and attendance of cross functional team meeting with Client for project kick off.

 

·                  Preliminary EH&S safety categorisation for the API, Safe System of Work report and training of Patheon staff.

 

Estimated Duration:

 

·                  Up to two weeks

 

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient(s) (“API”):

 

·                  Crofelemer

·                  Patheon’s preliminary categorisation = Category 2

·                  API will be stored and shipped under ambient conditions

·                  Finished product will be stored and shipped under ambient conditions

·                  Dust monitoring / flexible containment is assumed not required

 

2.                                      Analytical Services

 

Goals:

 

·                  To evaluate suitable finished product methods to support testing of non-cGMP development activities, and to validate the developed methods to support release and stability testing of cGMP batches

 

Deliverables:

 

·                  Patheon will generate a data summary for each method development activity for Client review

 

·                  Patheon will prepare a protocol and generate a report for each method validation activity for Client review

 

Estimated Duration:

 

·                  Approximately 4 months in total

 

7



 

Assumptions:

 

·                  It is assumed that the same method is used for testing Product Identity, Blend Uniformity/Content Uniformity, Potency and Related Substances. If separate methods are required, the additional costs will be captured in a Change of Scope.

 

·                  A cleaning residuals assay was previously developed and validated under a separate Patheon Proposal. If the originally developed method can be used for this project there will be no duplication of this activity.

 

Method Validation

 

2.1                               Product Potency and Content Uniformity (Supplemental Validation Phase III)

 

2.2                               Product Related Substances Assay (Supplemental Validation Phase III)

Client may instruct Patheon to amend the stability schedule as required. Minor changes such as those that increase the number of pull points, but maintain the testing and number of lots as outlined above, invoice will be issued for the new pull points without issuance of a formal change of scope. Major changes that affect the type of test (as mentioned above) to be performed at a given pull point, the price per sample may be re-evaluated. A formal change of scope will be issued to capture the changes.

 

Patheon will prepare a stability summary report following completion of the study. The summary report will consist of a high level evaluation of whether the data for each test indicates that a change has occurred on stability and compared to specification. The report will not include any statistical interpretations or shelf life evaluations. If statistical analysis of stability data is desired by Client, a Change of Scope will be issued based on the required work.

 

7.                                      Registration Batches

 

Goal:

 

·                  To provide Client with 6 batches of active tablets (3 batches at each strength, 20 mg and 80 mg) for registration purposes.

 

Deliverables:

 

·                  Patheon will manufacture the proposed registration batches and provide the batch records to Client for review. Patheon will also prepare a registration protocol and summary report for Client review.

 

Estimated Duration:

8.                                      Stability— Registration Batches

 

Goal:

 

·                       To provide shelf life data to support product registration

 

Deliverables:

 

·                  Data summaries will be provided to Client at intermediate time points, and a stability summary report will be provided to Client following completion of the study.

 

Estimated Duration:

 

·                       Up to 36 months

 

Scope:

 

Patheon will design a stability program (single orientation, single container type) to monitor:

 

·                  6 packaged lots of CTM Active material under ICH conditions

·                  3 lots of 20 mg

·                  3 lots of 80 mg

·                  Samples will be placed on storage concurrently and also tested concurrently at each test point

·                  Unless indicated in the stability protocol, the analytical data from each CTM lot manufactured at Patheon will be used as initial time point (T=0) data

 

Please note that the pricing provided for stability is based on a full ICH program for all X packaging lots. The cost can be substantially reduced by putting in place a matrix testing design. Patheon would welcome the opportunity to further discuss this approach.

 

The following storage conditions and test-points are suggested for testing:

Client may instruct Patheon to amend the stability schedule as required. Minor changes such as those that increase the number of pull points, but maintain the testing and number of lots as outlined above, invoice will be issued for the new pull points without issuance of a formal change of scope. Major changes that affect the type of test (as mentioned above) to be performed at a given pull point, the price per sample may be re-evaluated. A formal change of scope will be issued to capture the changes.

 

Patheon will prepare a stability summary report following completion of the study. The summary report will consist of a high level evaluation of whether the data for each test indicates that a change has occurred on stability and compared to specification. The report will not include any statistical interpretations or shelf life evaluations. If statistical analysis of stability data is desired by Client, a Change of Scope will be issued based on the required work.

9.     Standard Assumptions

 

Standard Assumptions

 

1.         A fixed “Material and Supply Fee” equal to 8% of the total project budget, excluding costs for EH&S, is included in Part B: Budget Summary (“Budget Summary”), to cover the cost of the required Patheon purchased materials and supplies, and is subject to Section 3 of Part G: Legal Terms and Conditions.

 

2.         Provided that there are ongoing billable activities taking place (excluding stability):

 

·             Patheon will provide project management support to monitor the progress of the project against established timelines and will provide Client with updates.

 

·             The Project Manager will coordinate with Patheon’s project team and Client and commit up to two one hour teleconference meetings per month and one quarterly Patheon site face-to-face meeting.

 

·             Project management will coordinate distribution of project documentation to Client. Typical documentation may include protocols, reports, executed batch records, Certificates of Analysis, BSE/TSE statements, summary data and analytical methods.

 

·             The fee for project management is incorporated in the breakdown cost for each activity in the Budget Summary.

 

3.         At Client request, issued documents may need to be updated throughout the life of the project. The requirement for update could be based on, but is not limited to, new stability data or new storage conditions. Documents requiring update may include Certificate of Analysis, specifications, test methods, reports or any other document already issued by Patheon. Any additional costs for the update will be communicated to Client via the Change of Scope process prior to initiating the documentation change.

 

4.         It is assumed that the API and/or formulation do not absorb/adsorb to any metal, glass or other components used during the processing and analytical testing of the batch.

 

5.         Patheon will receive and release the API for cGMP manufacture based on the following:

 

(i)         Identification testing

 

(ii)        The accompanying Certificate of Analysis (COA) from the API Vendor (Client qualified) and COA from Client.

 

The identification of unknown impurities detected during the study is not included as part of this Project Proposal.

 

6.         Client will provide Patheon with accurate, suitable, sufficient and the most current reference standards.

 

7.         For analytical out of specification (OOS) investigations, Patheon will conduct investigations according to Patheon’s standard operating procedure and report findings to Client. The cost of the investigation will be borne by Client should the OOS be a result of the nature of the Product, rather than Patheon error in processing or testing. If Client bears the cost, the cost of the investigation and associated analytical testing will be captured in a Change of Scope to this Contract.

 

8.         Prior to commercialization, Patheon will evaluate the Product and the proposed launch volume and, at the request of Client, select the appropriate Patheon facility for commercialization.

3.         Patheon’s Project Manager acts as the primary liaison between the client and Patheon’s internal organization.

 

4.         Uses ChangePoint to manage project plans, resources, documents, project budget, etc. A Schedule Flight Board, similar to an airport’s flight board, provides visibility on the order readiness items (e.g. MBR, raw materials and bulk material).

 

COMMUNICATION

 

5.         Patheon’s Project Manager schedules and leads bi-weekly conference calls scheduled between the project team and Client. Other calls can be arranged as agreed between the parties and ad hoc calls accommodated as needed. The frequency of meetings can be increased during peak activity times and the Patheon Project Manager is available via e-mail/phone for discussions outside of scheduled meetings.

 

·                  Minutes are taken which can generally be customized as per Client / project requirements and would typically include tracked action items for example

 

·                  For specific technical issues, direct contact between functional representatives and Client counterparts is encouraged provided the Project Manager is kept informed

 

·                  Each project is reviewed by the respective technical areas during the course of the project

PROJECT REVIEWS

 

6.         PDS Client Services:

 

·                  Patheon seeks to actively listen for and respond to Client feedback with the aim of providing a very positive Client experience.

 

·                  The PDS Client Service team manages a feedback process which facilitates periodic checks on team and service performance.

 

·                  Direct feedback is also encouraged.

 

·                  Survey feedback is reviewed at a senior level and is used to help understand what is going well and where improvements can be made.

 

·                  A transparent escalation process is in place, allowing a Patheon or Client team member to escalate an issue to Senior PDS Leadership.

 

Regular face to face meeting coordinated by Patheon’s Project Manager and are encouraged as a forum for review. The frequency of the face to face meetings can be aligned with the project duration.

 

·                  High level reviews of overall project

 

·                  What worked well

 

·                  Areas for improvement

 

·                  Milestone achievement reviews

 

·                  Review of metrics pre-defined with Client

 

·                  Lessons learned

(b)              If it is agreed that Patheon is to co-ordinate collection of Client’s Product with shipper then it will do so as agent of Client and at Client’s sole risk and expense on the basis that: (i) unless Client specifies in writing a shipper that Patheon is obliged to use, Client is deemed to have approved and accepted any shipper used by Patheon; (ii) any shipment charges will either be paid by Client direct to shipper or by Patheon to shipper on Client’s behalf, in which case Client will pay Patheon the cost of shipment together with a handling fee of 15%; (iii) Client will obtain any export license or other official authorization necessary to export the Products, will be responsible for complying with all applicable export laws and regulations and will pay any applicable export fees or taxes; and (iv) Client remains responsible for maintaining adequate insurance (including transit insurance) for the Products at all times from delivery.

 

9.              Storage:

 

(a)              Excluding retained samples or stability samples, and unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Client will pay Patheon a $500 per month per pallet, one pallet minimum, storage fee if manufactured Product, clinical trial materials, placebo, development, feasibility, scale-up, registration, validation or any other batches, components, raw materials or supplies (collectively, “Materials”) are stored at Patheon under room temperature conditions for more than 30 days after their release for shipment by Patheon. This storage fee will increase to $1000 per month per pallet, one pallet minimum, for Materials stored longer than 90 days after their release for shipment by Patheon. For Materials that are controlled substances or for Materials stored under other than room temperature conditions, the following storage fees will apply beginning 30 days after the Materials have been released for shipment:

 

(i)             $100 per cubic foot per month or $200 per cubic foot per month after 90 days for all Materials that are controlled substances or for Materials stored at the Patheon site under conditions of 2°C – 8°C;

 

(ii)          $200 per cubic foot per month or $400 per cubic foot per month after 90 days for all Materials stored at the Patheon site under frozen conditions; or

 

(iii)       If Client requests storage at conditions different than those stated above, then this will be discussed and agreed between the parties on a separate basis.

 

(b)         Patheon reserves the right to refuse to store any Materials, at its sole discretion at any time. Client will assume all risk of loss or damage to the stored Material and it will be Client’s responsibility to have appropriate insurance coverage in place for this risk. If Client asks Patheon to destroy any Materials, Client will be responsible for the cost of destruction.

 

(c)          Patheon will, at Client’s cost, destroy all stability samples that remain in stability storage for more than 30 days after the issuance of a report by Patheon for the final time point for that given storage condition (according to the agreed stability protocol), or cancellation of a given program. Client may request additional storage time for stability samples beyond 30 days. If Patheon agrees to additional storage time, the Client will be charged storage fees of $500 per 50 liters of walk-in storage volume per month per condition with a $500 per month per condition minimum charge or $50 per liter of reach-in storage volume per month per condition with a $500 per month per condition minimum charge. The cost of this storage will double after 90 days.

G.           Other Terms

 

No terms, provisions or conditions of any purchase order or other business form or written authorization used by Client or Patheon will have any effect on the rights, duties or obligations of the parties, or otherwise modify, this Contract, regardless of any failure of Client or Patheon to object to the terms, provisions, or conditions unless the document specifically refers to this Contract and is signed by both parties.

J.              Severability

 

If any provision of this Contract is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, that determination will not impair or affect the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions, because each provision is separate, severable, and distinct.

This Contract may be signed in counterparts and exchanged by facsimile or by “pdf.”

 

L.            No Third Party Benefit or Right

 

For greater certainty, nothing in this Contract will confer or be construed as conferring on any third party any benefit or the right to enforce any express or implied term of this Contract.
