Overview

A China-based biotech was at the pivotal stage of development of an asset targeting oncology.

Strong mid-clinical stage data had been generated in China.

Situation and Challenges

The biotech had devised a global development plan for the asset but that plan would have resulted in an undesirable second-to-market position.

  • Long time-to-market.
  • High capital-at-risk.
  • No “check points” along the way.
  • Unclear recruitment outlook.

 

Treehill Solution

Conducted a comprehensive situation assessment from an investor’s and potential partner’s point of view.

Holistically re-designed the clinical development plan.

The improvements enabled the biotech to leapfrog their competitor.

Implemented check-points to reduce capital-at-risk and enhance agility.

Conclusion and Outcome

The actions and measures implemented by Treehill led to a strongly-enhanced appeal of the asset to potential investors. This laid the essential foundation for an anchor investment necessary to carry the program forward in a NewCo.

  • Improved configuration of study arms to drive recruitment.
  • Stage-gated development approach to reduce capital-at-risk and provide early visibility.
  • Materially shortened study duration.
  • Data generation in line with in-market requirements for successful commercialisation at time of launch.
