翁啟惠..”台灣有八十四項新藥在人體試驗階段!” 包含外商上市前試驗??

SIC掛牌籌錢 尋生技千里馬 2011-11-02 中國時報在行政院「生技起飛、鑽石行動」方案被賦予「伯樂」任務的台灣生技整合育成中心(SIC),終於在昨日成立,由旅美華裔生技專家蘇懷仁擔任首席顧問,負責籌募種子基金,並領導國內外顧問群發掘具有商業化潛力的研發計畫,投資開發新藥或生醫器材,以台灣品牌進軍全球生技市場。 生技整合育成中心(SIC)成立後,行政院「生技起飛、鑽石行動」方案四大支柱已全數到位,預定在六個月內協助籌募十億種子基金及製藥型國家級創投基金。 行政院政務委員兼科技顧問組副召集人朱敬一昨日表示,建全推動轉譯研究的生技中心、成立食品藥物管理局、催生國家級生技創投和生技整合育成中心等四大支柱到位,只是第一步。但任何一個產業,不是新設了那個機構,成功就會從天上掉下來;政府必須每天不斷地回應產業需求,想辦法解決各項難題。 中央研究院長翁啟惠表示,台灣已有八十四項新藥研發在作人體試驗,進入第三期臨床試驗的十四項計畫,有七件是依照美國食品藥物管理局規範進行臨床試驗。無論是這些計畫或者是未來的研發計畫,有一件成功開發成新藥上市,台灣生技產業馬上就晉升兆元產業。SIC成立茶會生技界產官學研重量級人物幾乎到齊,立法院長王金平也到場致賀。

兩岸基因相似度高 製藥分工共同開發5新藥???

朱敬一:兩岸合作開發新藥2011/11/03 經濟日報】行政院政務委員朱敬一昨(2)日表示,中國大陸有14億人口,兩岸生醫產業可以合作,大陸「十二五」規劃中,目標25種新藥,兩岸可以合作開發五種新藥,這是國內生醫產業可以考慮的方向。 朱敬一昨天在第九屆華人企業領袖高峰會,以「台灣生醫產業的機會與挑戰」為題發表演說。朱敬一表示,台灣生技起飛鑽石行動方案目前已請來兩位國際級「大和尚」,一位是主導台灣生技創投(TMF)的張有德,專長醫療器材;一位是主導超級育成中心的蘇懷仁,尚缺對新藥育成有經驗的國際級「大和尚」,他將催生第二個國際級生技創投。 發展台灣生技產業,朱敬一提出四大因應作為,一、探討切入哪裡;二、跑第二棒,即實驗室至臨床二期,因需要的經費較少,加值明顯;三、成立超級育成中心;四、兩岸生醫產業合作。朱敬一指出,生技製藥的價值鏈非常長,中國大陸有14億人口,國際藥廠都想賣藥至中國大陸,在這中間台灣可以扮演角色。 朱敬一說,兩岸經濟協議(ECFA)生效,且兩岸皆華人,基因相似度(gene similarity)是全球唯一,兩岸生技製藥分工,最好是建立在gene similarity上,由於台灣病人樣本不夠,可由台灣做臨床實驗第一階段,中國大陸病人樣本多,可做臨床實驗二、三階段,這是最理想的分工。 朱敬一說,台灣已累積多年華人特有疾病研究,如肝癌、肺癌,這是很好利基,大陸「十二五」規劃中,目標25種新藥,兩岸可合作開發五種。兩岸已簽定醫藥衛生合作協議,同意加強合作,積極推動雙方技術標準及規範的協調性,以提升醫藥品的安全、有效性。朱敬一指出,在此基礎上,可進行醫藥品查驗、檢驗登記(審批)及生產管理規範檢查合作,探討逐步採用對方執行的結果。

Taiwan-China Pact to Sharpen Local Pharma Ind. Global Edge

 2011/11/02  Taipei, Nov. 2, 2011 (CENS)--The signing of a cooperation agreement between China and Taiwan regarding medical and healthcare issues will raise international competitiveness of Taiwan-made pharmaceuticals, especially in emerging markets, according to the Council for Economic Planning and Development (CEPD) of Taiwan's Cabinet. Quoting the latest report by IMS, CEPD says the global pharmaceutical market totaled US$856 billion in 2010, and the value is expected to jump to US$1.1 trillion by 2015. Over the next few years, the council says, the U.S. market share will decline to 31% by 2015 from 41% in 2005; while that of the five major European nations (Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the U.K.) will fall to 13% by 2015 from 20% in 2005. During the same period, total market share of the 17 emerging economies, including China, Brazil, India etc., is expected to climb to 28% by 2015 from only 12% in 2005. CEPD also says the emerging markets are the major drivers of global pharmaceutical consumption, due to surging economic growth and institutional changes in the nations. So the emerging markets are expected to create annual demand for US$150 billion of drugs by 2015, in which only 20% is for active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) while the rest for generic drugs. CEPD says Taiwan enacted special statues for the focal-point development of the pharmaceutical industry in Taiwan in 2007, and signed an agreement with China in 2010 for bilateral promotion of the pharmaceutical industry, with the joint efforts to enable Taiwan's pharmaceutical industry to win higher market share in the booming global market.

沒有醫師的醫院???

業者:兩岸都渴望遠端醫療2011-11-02 旺報  摩根士丹利中國投資銀行業務創始人、信中利資本集團董事長汪潮涌表示,大陸已經快速進入老齡化社會,醫療產業將會有大量的創業機會。 昨日的華人企業領袖高峰會論壇中,許多人都談到大陸「三網融合」政策會帶來的影響和商機,天成醫療體系董事長張育美表示,他在活動中與IBM聊到,是否會出現「沒有醫師的醫院」,現在的雲端科技就能達成,遠距照護正是兩岸都在熱烈談論的話題。汪潮涌表示,大陸有一胎化政策後,老人醫療、養護都是很重要的問題,目前的科技創新、三網融合等正可以解決這個老齡化需求,包括遠端醫療、電子病歷等,是很重要的機會。 台灣工研院生醫所所長邵耀華則建議,遠端醫療在設備上最好採取「傻瓜機」的方式,讓一般使用者能安心、正確操作,才是重要的突破。汪潮涌表示,大陸近年來醫藥行業成長比GDP還多2倍,產值超過1.1兆元人民幣,正規醫院超過2萬家,然而還有很多改進空間,包括體質、觀念、藥物和醫療器具的創新。 汪潮涌表示,大陸醫療體系80%是公營機構,需要引進更多民營資本,而長期資源不足,使醫生與護士從業人員觀念不對,不會把關懷放在第一位,也缺乏精神上的溝通。

Breast cancer screening not a surgeon's privilege: gynecologists

2011/11/02 Taipei, Nov. 2 (CNA) General gynecologists are every bit as knowledgeable as surgeons about breast cancer screening, a gynecologist association said Wednesday. Countering a statement issued earlier by a breast cancer patient group that it is "wrong" to visit a gynecologist when one has a suspect lump in the breast, Taiwan Association of Obstetrics and Gynecology Secretary-General Huang Min-chao said that in fact, spending time looking for a surgeon who can give a diagnosis could in fact lead to a delay in timely treatment. In an event held Oct. 30 to mark breast cancer awareness month, the Taiwan Breast Cancer Alliance told the public that breast cancer is treated by surgeons rather than gynecologists. This misconception needs to be revised, Huang told CNA in a telephone interview. In Taiwan, breast cancer screening and diagnosis is jointly implemented by four different medical departments -- surgery, medical imaging, family medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology, he said. "One can go to see a doctor in any of those departments for help to get the most timely assistance," he noted. Huang pointed out that it can be difficult to secure an appointment with a surgeon specialized in breast surgery if every woman who suspects she might have the disease calls in for a screening session. "Gynecology clinics nowadays are mostly equipped with breast ultrasound devices and their doctors are familiar with breast exam techniques. It is not necessary to go to big hospitals for preliminary checks," he added. "Everyone is responsible for breast cancer screening, including the patient," he went on, urging women with a family history of cancer to conduct regular self-examinations and to see a doctor to ensure early detection.

Taiwan opens integration and incubation center

Publication Date11/02/2011Source Taiwan Today  The Supra Integration and Incubation Center (Si2C), the first government-sponsored agency in Taiwan dedicated to promoting the nation's biotechnology industry, was formally inaugurated Nov. 1, according to Si2C organizer the Science and Technology Advisory Group of the Executive Yuan. "The primary purpose of our center is to allocate resources to the nation's biotech industry and pharmaceutical companies, so that they can develop new and innovative biotech products," said Soo Whai-jen, managing director of the Si2C. In addition, Soo added, the Si2C will provide Taiwan's biotech companies with legal counsel, help them with patent applications, and offer them technical assistance. STAG Vice Convener and Minister without Portfolio Cyrus C. Y. Chu said that with the establishment of the Si2C, the government set up all "four pillars" needed to develop a complete value chain for the nation's biotech industry. The other three pillars, Chu said, are creating the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration, a task accomplished in 2009; setting up the NT$60 billion (US$2.03 billion) Biotech Venture Capital; and underwriting research investments in genetic translation and rapid prototyping production of medical devices. These efforts are part of the government's 2009 plan to double the biotech industry's output value in four years, according to the STAG. "Erecting these four pillars is only the first step," Chu said. "The government still needs to respond to the needs of industry and help firms overcome many difficulties." Soo, a former researcher and executive for Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. and Shire PLC, both in the United States, assumed his present position after he was strenuously recruited by STAG. STAG said it is also working to have Shaw T. Chen, deputy director of U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Drug Evaluation, join the Si2C team as soon as possible. (HZW)

Par Pharmaceuticals builds up generics business

Par Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: PRX) revved up its generic drugs category with two substantial acquisitions in the third quarter as several companies seek to benefit from the imminent expiration of exclusive patents.In August, the Woodcliff Lakes, New Jersey drug company agreed to acquire Anchen Pharmaceuticals, a privately-held company focused on developing and commercializing extended release and niche generic products, for $410 million in cash. It expects the deal to be completed by the end of the year.

Advertisement In a conference call earlier this year, Paul Campanelli, president of the company's generics division, said the deal "will expand our portfolio of high-value market products, including sustainable products with longer life cycles." Last month Par acquired rights to three products from Teva Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TEVA) in connection with Teva's $6.8 billion acquisition of Cephalon in Frazer, Pennsylvania: fentanyl citrate lozenges, a generic version of Actiq, and cyclobenzaprine ER capsules, the generic version of Amrix, and modafinil tablets, the generic version of Provigil. In October, Par began shipping all strengths of olanzapine orally disintegrating tablets, the generic version of Eli Lilly's (NYSE: LLY) Zyprexa Zydisto. The company had $77.6 million loss for the third quarter partly due to acquisition and restructuring costs on revenues of $672.5 million. Watson Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: WPI) is poised to launch a generic version of Lipitor once Pfizer's (NYSE PFE) patent on the blockbuster drug expires this month. Teva is expecting to release a generic form of Lilley's schizophrenia drug Zyprexa in the fourth quarter in a move it believes will boost sales.

基亞11/23上櫃 PI-88新藥3年內上市 搶食700億元商機  鉅亨網 2011-11-02 新藥生技類股再添生力軍!全球肝癌新藥領導廠商基亞生技(3176-TW),將於1123掛牌上櫃,掛牌價暫訂25元。董事長張世忠表示,基亞搭載肝癌新藥開發及高階核酸檢驗試劑雙成長引擎,其中肝癌新藥PI-88正進行第三期臨床,將於2013年完成6成臨床試驗,2014年正式藥品上市銷售,搶食全球738億元肝癌市場。張世忠進一步指出,公司肝癌新藥開發及高階核酸檢驗試劑為核心業務,研發中的肝癌新藥PI-88,已於今年正式在台灣及韓國共18所醫學中心,開始收納肝癌病患進行第三期臨床試驗,預計香港及中國近期可獲核准再加入PI-88臨床研究。基亞生技計畫在未來的18個月中,於全球收納500名病患,驗證PI-88減少肝癌術後復發的作用,該臨床試驗預計最快於2013年完成期中分析,期中分析如達標準,即可申請新藥上市。 張世忠認為,肝癌治療是全球關注的重要課題,目前生技醫藥界尚無通過臨床試驗的肝癌術後藥物。根據工研院生醫所的報告指出,樂觀估計2015年全球市場於肝癌術後藥品銷售值每年達738億元,悲觀估計市場值也可以達到520億元,如果PI-88上市,將有機會成為全球第一個核准做為肝癌術後預防復發的藥物,成為台灣優先於歐、美藥證的第一個世界級新藥的成功案例。 基亞開發肝癌新藥PI-88第三期試驗是亞洲公司少見的大規模跨國臨床試驗,同時為台灣衛生署醫藥品查驗中心 (CDE) 的指標案件,及中國大陸衛生部的快速審查案件。此外,PI-88於今年取得歐盟藥物管理局 (EMA)給予「孤兒藥」 的資格認定,未來藥品上市後,將有十年的歐洲市場專賣獨占權,有助於PI-88於歐美市場的授權以及未來市場拓展。此外,基亞生技另一成長引擎核酸檢驗(Nucleic Acid Test),已開發出具世界級競爭力的檢驗試劑,目前用以檢驗基因分型的HLA試劑,已通過台灣衛生署、美國FDA 與歐盟CE 認證,行銷全球多個國家。 另外,為爭取中國大陸醫改及十二五計畫中血液檢驗的龐大商機,基亞大陸子公司上海浩源生技的新一代B型肝炎、C型肝炎及愛滋病毒三合一檢驗試劑及全自動化檢驗設備,取得三合一核酸檢驗試劑藥證,搶下多家客戶採購案或標案,包括遼寧、河北、唐山、襄陽四家血液中心及中國衛生部北京醫院與中國醫學科學院輸血研究所,年底前及明年隨著更多的血液中心公開招標,逐漸打入400家「試點血站」,因此全年營收將倍數成長,明年大陸血液檢驗市場將達25%市占率,可望拿下超過12億元訂單。 張世忠強調,大陸為提高用血安全,已逐步於大型血站使用核酸檢驗試劑進行血液篩檢,未來十二五規劃結案前,將進一步增加至400家血站,保守估計血液檢驗試劑市場規模將達人民幣10億元。目前上海浩源的主要產品,包括用於測試BC型肝炎,及愛滋病毒的試劑,目前獲得大陸藥品監管局(SFDA)核准的核酸檢驗試劑,全球僅羅氏藥廠擁有同類產品,但羅氏該項產品在大陸尚處於臨床階段。 張世忠樂觀表示,大陸目前對於血液檢驗的要求日趨嚴格,包括各個血站、血液試劑廠都要求必須使用核酸檢驗試劑,未來大陸各級醫院也將提高測試標準,公司同時開發配套全自動化檢驗設備,並於今年8月獲SFDA核准,已於大陸血站及國家臨床中心使用,未來基亞的產品滲透率將逐年提高,挹注新成長動能。
