SALUBRINAL Conclusions from Salubrinal Bone Study in rats (Yokota Group): Local Administration of Salubrinal promotes bone healing
Salubrinal stimulates bone growth during wound repair Salubrinal activates genes involved in anabolic responses
Salubrinal Competitive Advantages
Indication
The proposed indication is hip fracture healing in conjunction with standard therapy practices.
Indication selection rationale
Easier to perform clinical trials High competitive forces in the osteoporosis market Lower number of competitive “bone growth” treatments Increased likelihood of formulary adoption High potential to extend clinical value to other indications
Administration / Delivery
Injectable administration was selected for initial market introduction No additional effort to formulate an oral delivery ( less preclinical work, increased speed to market, reduced clinical trial and drug development complexity) No known benefits for oral delivery for the chosen indication Predicate studies support Injection as a better localized treatment for the chosen indication
Current Hip Fracture Market
Over 300K Hip Fractures annually
25% of the 300K were previously living independently and require full time nursing care post fracture
50% of these never reach full functionality again
This incidence is expected to grow at 3% annually
Current Hip Fracture (Bone Healing) Drugs:
Dibotermin Alfa (BMP 2 - Wyeth)
OP-1 (BMP 7 - Stryker)
Forteo (Osteoblast promoter- Eli Lilly)
Unmet need
Drug with lower dosage and fewer side-effects?
High prevalence?
Market Potential
What are the estimated annual savings from this indication use of Salubrinal?
Based on $9,500 initial visit cost and an additional $13,500 in post discharge annual costs per incident with regard to 300K hip fractures per year, the total cost is estimated to be $6.9B. Assuming that savings between the value chain providers will be split 50%, Salubrinal is estimated to produce the following revenue for the respective efficacy in the following table:

Business Plan and Exit Strategy Stage
Recommendations
Financing Options
Corporation Creation
Create a Limited Liability Corporation and license the Intellectual Property from IUPUI.
Small bank loans to finance legal and administrative transactions.
Pre-clinical Trials and Testing
Conduct pre-clinical trials with MDS Pharma which has a division specializing in bone pre-clinical testing
The $2.0M in pre-clinical trials is likely to be financed through Angel investing and supplemented by various foundation grants and SBIR loans.
Corporation Transformation
Convert the original LLC to a C-Corps.
The creation of the C-Corps will permit investment by the Venture Capital community.
Phase I Clinical Trial
Conduct Phase I trials with Covance as a partner.
Venture Capital Series B funding would be used to generate the $15.0M required for Phase I Trials.
Phase II and III Clinical Trial
Seek acquisition of the molecule by a larger or niche pharmaceutical or orthopedic corporation.
Continue to receive license payments from the large corporation. A bidding process between corporations may increase the valuation of the molecule.
Net Present Value
1.25 Million other fractures which could eventually be incorporated per the National Osteoporosis Foundation NPV at launch is considered to be the value to the acquiring company after FDA approval, marketing, etc (based on $900M typical drug launch). NPV at the end of phase I is the value before acquisition (held privately by investors and VC).
Assumptions:
20% reduction in total cost of fracture 29% of drugs complete phase III, 54% complete phase II, and 70% complete phase I. VC Low expectation = 5x return; VC High expectation 10x return upon exit. Market Share
