WORK ORDER NO. 4

 

THIS WORK ORDER NO. 4 is by and between RADIUS HEALTH, INC. (“RADIUS”) and LONZA Sales Ltd, a Swiss company having an address at Muenchensteinerstrasse 38, CH-4002 Basel, Switzerland (together with its Affiliates, “Manufacturer”), and upon execution will be incorporated into the Development and Manufacturing Services Agreement between RADIUS and Manufacturer dated October 16, 2007 (the “Agreement”). Capitalized terms in this Work Order will have the same meanings as set forth in the Agreement.

 

RADIUS hereby engages Manufacturer to provide Services, as follows:

 

1.                                      API/Drug Substance and Product.

 

BA058

 

Peptide Sequence:  H-Ala-Val-Ser-Glu-His-Gln-Leu-Leu-His-Asp-Lys-Gly-Lys-Ser-Ile-Gln-Asp-Leu-Arg-Arg-Arg-Glu-Leu-Leu-Glu-Lys-Leu-Leu-Aib-Lys-Leu-His-Thr-Ala-NH2

 

2.                                      Services.  Manufacturer will render to RADIUS the following Services:

 

Manufacturer will perform activities required for RADIUS’ filing of a new drug application (“NDA”) in the United States with the FDA and similar applications required by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA) and other Authorities, excluding authorities in Japan, for BA058 including, but not limited to, production of three (3) validation Batches.  These activities will provide for full process qualification and process validation and all required documentation necessary for regulatory submissions of the NDA to the FDA and the NDA equivalents to other Authorities.

 

Such work will be performed in accordance with Exhibits A and B of this Work Order plus such additional requirements as discussed below.  The Services are identified in terms of a particular numbered activity (each, an “Activity”).  All Services under this Work Order, including Manufacture of any Batches, will be conducted in compliance with standards suitable for an NDA filing by RADIUS.  All Batches will be Manufactured in compliance with cGMP, will conform to Specifications provided to Manufacturer prior to commencement of the applicable Batch, and the other requirements of the Agreement and this Work Order.  Except for Activities 1 and 6, Manufacturer will not proceed to a subsequent numbered Activity until it provides a report to RADIUS with the status of and results of the prior numbered Activity and RADIUS provides Manufacturer with written authorization to proceed to the next Activity.

 

Activity 1: Development Work: The objective for this Activity is to define the best conditions for the preparation of the BA058 peptide.  As a first step, Manufacturer will identify which parameters have influenced the unexpected high yield in the C2 campaign.  In addition, Manufacturer will investigate the chemistry to ensure repeatability/reproducibility of such results. The criteria to be evaluated and the deliverables to be provided are as set forth in Section 4 of Exhibit B.

 

Activity 2: Pre-qualification activities: Manufacturer will challenge the parameters identified as critical as a result of the performance of Activity 1 and identify working ranges for the parameters to ensure a robust process for upstream and downstream activities.  In addition, the studies identified in Section 5 of Exhibit B will have to be conducted on different steps of the process in order to define “holding points”.  If conducted on any intermediate products, all stability studies conducted by Manufacturer will be

conducted in accordance with the Manufacturer generated stability protocol to be approved by RADIUS in writing.

 

Activity 3: Qualification Campaign:  Manufacturer will not commence this Activity without the prior written consent of RADIUS.  Manufacturer will Manufacture a qualification Batch at a purification scale of NPW (net peptide weight) selected by RADIUS from the table in Exhibit A; however, the assembly and cleavage reaction that will lead to the crude will be performed at a scale of 180g NPW equivalent. The Batch will be Manufactured in a 20L SPPS reactor. An amount identified by RADIUS out of the crude that was Manufactured will be purified on an LC150 HPLC column and lyophilized in a GT10 lyophilizer. The excess of crude will be stored and will be purified by Manufacturer, if so requested by RADIUS in writing (“Additional Purification”). These activities are further described in Section 6 of Exhibit B.

 

Activity 4: Qualification Stability : Manufacturer will perform a stability study from samples of the Product Manufactured pursuant to Activity 3 in accordance with ICH requirements and the time points required by ICH requirements (at a minimum, the following time points:  0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 months). The study will be performed according to a stability protocol to be generated by Manufacturer and approved by RADIUS in writing.

 

Activity 5: Pre-validation activities: Based on pre-qualification Batches (C1 and C2 which were previously Manufactured) and the qualification Batch (C3 — still to be produced), Manufacturer will prepare and deliver the reports and protocols identified in Section 8 of Exhibit B.

 

Activity 6: Analytical Methods Validation: Manufacturer will validate the analytical methods identified in Section 9 of Exhibit B and provide reports on the analytical methods. These Services described in this Activity will commence immediately. Completion dates are planned to allow the qualification Batch described in Activity 3 to be tested with the required methods validated in this Activity.  In any event, all methods will be validated before the commencement of Activity 7.

 

Activity 7: Validation Campaign:

 

Manufacturer will Manufacture and release three (3) Batches of Product at a scale of NPW (net peptide weight) selected by RADIUS from the table in Exhibit A; however, the assembly and cleavage reaction that will lead to the crude will be performed at a scale of 180g API equivalent. Manufacturer will commence Manufacture of a Batch only with the prior written consent of RADIUS. The excess of crude will be stored and Additional Purification will be performed by Manufacturer, if so requested by RADIUS in writing. These activities are further described in Section 10 of Exhibit B.

 

Activity 8: Validation Reports:   Manufacturer will provide the following reports:

 

·                                          Upstream process validation reports

·                                          Downstream process validation report

 

Activity 9: Validation Stability: Manufacturer will perform a stability study from samples of the Product Manufactured pursuant to Activity 7 in accordance with ICH QIA requirements and the time points required by ICH requirements (at a minimum, the following time points:  0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36 months). The study will be performed in according to a stability protocol to be generated by Manufacturer and approved by RADIUS in writing.

1) Introduction

 

The quotation provided herewith covers all activities which are required prior to NDA filing of the BA-058 peptide; these activities are in addition to the two development campaigns, C1 and C2 (50 g and 300 g respectively), which were already run and which supported Radius’ product requirements for Ph II and Ph III clinical trials. These regulatory road-map activities comprise the following steps:

 

·                  Development work

·                  Pre-qualification activities

·                  Qualification campaign at 50g NPW scale

·                  Pre-validation documentation

·                  Analytical methods validation

·                  Validation campaigns - 3 batches at 50g NPW scale

·                  Post-validation documentation

·                  Master validation report

·                  DMF Filing

 

2)  Peptide Sequence

 

H-Ala-Val-Ser-Glu-His-Gln-Leu-Leu-His-Asp-Lys-Gly-Lys-Ser-Ile-Gln-Asp-Leu-Arg-Arg-Arg-Glu-Leu-Leu-Glu-Lys-Leu-Leu-Aib-Lys-Leu-His-Thr-Ala-NH2

 

3)  Assumptions / Remarks

 

·                  The prices quoted are based on the yields and results obtained in the C2 campaign produced in 2010.

·                  The full SPPS strategy is the only strategy considered.

·                  The chemical assembly/cleavage process will be followed by two HPLC purifications (primary and secondary purifications) in order to meet the customer specifications. As a consequence, an expected final HPLC purity of the API > 97% will be obtained (by the FG1 method).

·                  Raw material prices: standard 2012 raw material prices were used in the cost calculations.

4)  Development Work (all quotations are in Euros €; (pro memoriam, as of Oct.14, ’11, the US $ / € exchange rate was 1.38)

 

·                  Objective: Define the best conditions for the preparation of BA-058 peptide.

 

First of all, Lonza will have to define clearly which parameters have influenced the unexpected high yield in the C2 campaign. Moreover, Lonza needs to investigate the chemistry to ensure repeatability / reproducibility of such results for future campaigns. Various criteria will have to be evaluated.

 

1.               Concerning raw materials:

 

·                  In order to achieve the same quality for future campaigns, Lonza will have to test different resin suppliers and qualify at least two of them.

·                  Specifications of the starting resin should then be modified in order to fit the defined parameters.

 

2.               Concerning process, Lonza will have to challenge the different steps.

 

·                  Loading:

 

a)             use of preloaded resin or in-house loading?

b)            working range of loading. It has to be defined in terms of productivity and quality of the resulting crude material.

 

·                  Assembly:

 

a)             Identification of critical impurities in the crude coming from mono deletion or double addition. This analysis will be performed based on impurities present in C1 and C2 materials.

 

·                  Cleavage:

 

a)             Define the best conditions of cleavage in order to minimize impurities linked to this step (almost 15% HPLC area for two impurities formed during this cleavage step).

 

·                  Purification:

 

a)              Assessment of the potential impact of upstream development work on the purification process.

b)             Development of UPLC method for in process control corresponding to FG1 method (analysis time reduction).

 

·                  Deliverables:

 

Upstream (7 to 8 weeks)

 

·                  Development work - experimental part     € [*]

·                  Process development report — Compilation of the process knowledge (C1, C2, and development work)   € [*]

 

Downstream (2 to 3 weeks)

 

·                  Development work - experimental part   € [*]

·                  Process development report — Compilation of the process knowledge (C1, C2, and development work) € [*]

 

In order to reach Radius target in terms of price and timing, it has been decided to reduce tests performed during this development work.

 

Quotation for development activities (in Euros €)€ 50,000 (Breakdown: see quotation for each activity; duration: almost 2.5 months with activities performed in parallel).

 


[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

5) Pre-qualification Activities

 

·                  Objective: ensure we have a robust process by challenging parameters defined as critical for both upstream and downstream.

 

In order to ensure we have a robust process before running the qualification campaign, parameters defined as critical will have to be “challenged” in order to obtain a suitable working range for these parameters. Moreover, some stability studies will have to be conducted on different steps of the process in order to define “holding points”, such as:

 

For upstream part (2 weeks)     price € [*]

 

a)              stability of the peptide resin

b)             stability of the crude in neat TFA

c)              stability of the crude during evaporation step

d)             stability of the crude after precipitation

e)              stability of the crude during drying step

f)                stability of the crude upon storage, etc…

 

For downstream part (3 weeks)   price € [*].

Potential critical parameters such as column loading, gradient, chemical stability of fractions in purification and peptide concentration, tray volume, powder homogeneity in lyophilization will have to be assessed and challenged.

 

·                  Deliverables (4 weeks):

 

Upstream   € [*]

 

·                  Qualification parameter protocols

·                  Qualification parameter - experimental part

·                  Qualification parameter reports

·                  Definition of critical parameters Upstream

·                  Parameter List

·                  Robustness Testing

 

Downstream € [*]

 

·                  Qualification parameter protocols

·                  Qualification parameter experimental

·                  Qualification parameter reports

·                  Definition of critical parameters Downstream

·                  Parameter List

·                  Robustness Testing

 

Quotation for pre-qualification activities (in Euros €)€ 80,000 (Breakdown: 37.5% upstream, 62.5% downstream; duration: 9 weeks with activities performed in parallel).

 

By reducing development work, less experiment needed for this part of the roadmap.

Costs have been decreased accordingly.

6) Quotation for Qualification Campaign at 50g NPW scale (in Euros)

 

·                  Objective: Qualify the parameters defined as critical for both upstream and downstream for the preparation of BA-058 peptide.

 

Lonza will run the qualification campaign at a scale of 50g NPW; however, the assembly and cleavage reaction that will lead to the crude will be performed at a scale of 180g API equivalent, since this is the minimum scale at which the process can be validated later. The assembly will be performed in a 20L SPPS reactor. Only part of the crude (50g NPW out of 180g NPW) will be purified on an LC150 HPLC column and lyophilized in a GT10 lyophilizer. The excess of crude will be stored and can be purified later. Excellent 18M stability data of the crude are currently available.

 

The price is given for the first 50g NPW production (including the full cost of the crude at a scale of 180g NPW  API equivalent), as well is for the later processing of the excess crude (without crude processing cost and per 50g NPW API):

10) Quotation for Validation Campaign at 50 g NPW scales (in Euros)

 

Lonza will  run do the validation campaign at a scale of 50g NPW; however, as for the qualification campaign, the assembly and cleavage reaction that will lead to the crude, will be performed at a scale of 180g API equivalent, since this is the minimum scale at which the process can be validated.

 

In order to make use of potential efficiencies, Radius asked for scenarios whereby validation batches V2 and V3 are performed in parallel. The quotes for these scenarios are presented in the table below:

 

·                  Validation batch 1 (V1) performed alone, no change in price

·                  Validation batches V2 and V3 performed in parallel in synthesis but not for purification

·                  2 releases in parallel for V2 and V3

 

The price is given for the first 50g NPW production (including the full cost of the crude at a scale of 180g NPW  API equivalent), as well is for the later processing of the excess crude (without crude processing cost and per 50g NPW API):

Total price for the 3 validation campaigns at 50 g:  1 x €226,750 + 2 x €209,000 = €644,750

 

Concerning homogeneity, this study in plates is performed during prequalification activities. In the case of the validation batches, defined as the most representative material compared to commercial batches, the homogeneity study is performed on bulk material during dispensing. This work will be done on all validation batches and will assay water content, acetonitrile content and acetate content (9,750 per batch). This is the reason why validation batches are a bit more expensive than qualification batches.

 

No experience gain is expected between qualification and validation batches at that scale: same equipments, same scale.

13) Stationary phase HPLC column

 

5kg of stationary phase of the HPLC column will be charged to Radius. This stationary phase is fully dedicated to BA-058 and cannot be used anymore for other products in case the RDS-001 project would stop for any reason. Therefore, it is now common practice at Lonza to sell the full amount of the phase directly to the customer at the start of a project. Once Radius has paid for it, it becomes Radius property.

 

€ 22,500€.
