SPRING 2015 TECH MEETING

Thursday, May 21, 2015



Meeting hosted by F. Hoffmann-La Roche

Disrupting IT for Biopharma R&D

BACKGROUND

Pharma R&D is evolving rapidly. Not least, it is seeking to meet the challenges of loss of drug exclusivity and the industry-wide pressure to deliver innovative medicines to serve unmet medical need at lower cost, and more quickly. Furthermore, this must be achieved in compliance within an increasingly demanding and somewhat uncertain regulatory environment.

Imaging technologies, genomics/genetics, the digitization of medical information, the rapid development of sensor technologies and patient-centered approaches are all changing the data inputs into bio-pharma R&D. These different modalities add to an already data-intensive, and data-driven, drug discovery and development process. Bio-pharma R&D IT groups are currently striving to harness the power of this myriad of new developments. The bringing together of these new technologies can - and should - disrupt traditional R&D processes.

Such disruptive R&D IT developments can re-engineer existing infrastructure, streamline business processes, speed up cycle times and importantly advance science. Such disruptive innovation can empower a patient-centred, more efficient approach to bio-pharma R&D and help bring relevant and important new medicines to market.

FOCUS

The agenda for this PRISME Forum Spring 2015 Technical Meeting will focus on case studies in the use of disruptive technologies and the value that they are currently demonstrating or are predicted to have. PRISME Forum members are invited to consider – and indeed supplement - the following questions:

1. How can R&D IT leverage disruptive approaches to improve R&D’s understanding of science and enhance its value to patients?
2. What will the future bio-pharma R&D information ecosystem look like?
3. How can we embrace these technologies quickly while avoiding costly mistakes?
4. How are patients and their patient-care organisations, and physicians along with health-care providers changing the way they collect and leverage their data and what opportunities exist for Pharma companies to be partners in this disruption?

The PRISME Forum Technical Meeting Advisory Committee will be looking for qualified speakers to address relevant topics including:

- Use cases demonstrating how disruptive technologies have enhanced bio-pharma R&D
- The “internet of things” changing capability to monitor processes and systems within R&D labs.
- Mobile sensors and social medial changing our ability to monitor patients, understand disease and responses to drugs – including regulatory impacts (with a focus on the European regulators).
- Disruptive technologies- empowering new services – thereby lowering the barrier to entry to biopharma R&D
- The consumerization of IT challenging R&D IT teams to deliver great user experiences across multiple platforms including the traditional enterprise systems
- Experiences and examples from technology suppliers of disruptive technology-driven innovation that either directly - or by analogy - will provide opportunities for R&D and R&D IT.

MEETING OUTCOMES

PRISME Forum members will be able to identify and define disruptive phenomena (including technologies, services and business models) that can impact R&D in their parent companies and find opportunities to partner to deliver pre-competitive capabilities that increase the effectiveness of R&D.

CHAIRS and TECHNICAL MEETING ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The PRISME Forum has invited Martin Erkens (Roche) to lead the Technical Meeting Advisory Committee on which the following PRISME Forum members have all very kindly agreed to serve: Ingrid Akerblom (Amgen), Jim McGurk (Daiichi-Sankyo), Martin Leach (Biogen Idec), Preben Klavsen (Lundbeck), John Apathy (Celgene).
