Definition of a biosimilar

Biological product that is licensed (approved) by the FDA based on a showing that they are highly similar to an already FDA-approved biological product, known as the reference product have no clinically meaningful differences in terms of safety and effectiveness from the reference product. Only minor differences in clinically inactive components are allowed.

Address the Current Landscape and Changes In the Marketplace Dynamics

13

Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act 2010

• Created an abbreviated licensure pathway for biological products shown to be biosimilar to or interchangeable with an FDA-licensed reference product

• Limits biosimilar application to a single reference biologic licensed under 351(a)

• Requires reliance on FDA’s previous determination that reference product is safe, pure, and potent, as well as publicly available information

• Two potential approvals Biosimilar Interchangeable

Experience and Expectations in Europe7

APOBIOLOGIX CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

15

• Payers expect discounts for oncology biosimilars to align with those observed in EU

• The average price reduction of biologics was 27% in the EU in general Most payers are seeking a 20-25% differential

at the net level (across markets)

• They expect discounts to increase with time, as more competitors enter the market The cost-saving potential of biosimilars in the

EU and US could equal even more than 50 billion EUR over 5 years and reach even 100 billion EUR by 2020

The Purple Book

• 1984 Hatch Waxman Act, Orange Book – Generics list demonstrating active ingredient is the same as previously approved

• The Purple Book – Biosimilars list biological products, including any biosimilar and interchangeable biological products licensed by the FDA under the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) Currently under review (as of July 2017)

According to the FDA, the Purple Book will allow users to see whether or not a biological product licensed under section 351(k) of the PHS Act has been determined by the FDA to be biosimilar to or interchangeable with an already licensed FDA biological product

• In 2014, it dipped to 54% This shift alone cost Medicare $2 Billion in 2014

• In 2016, the monthly rate of community oncology practice closures increased 87% from the previous year

340B Growth & the Impact on the Oncology Marketplace22

• In 2004, 340B was 3% of Part B, compared to 25% in 2014 CMS provided a new proposal to significantly affect 340B care and costing for hospitals

• Med PAC Part B recommendations Lower cost options in Oncology drug care PBM’s to negotiate drug prices for Part B Formularies by PBM’S

• Market needs to look at the Oncology Care Model

Lower Prices Increase Patient Access and Product Utilization

30

Payer (and Employers) Perspective on Biosimilars

• Based on a national survey of health insurers by Avalere, 81% of plans report they are covering a biosimilar product Nearly all payers indicate that a biosimilar’s cost relative to the

originator is a key decision-making factor for determining coverage

• Payers are looking to be influential in the use of biosimilars As payers negotiate lower provider reimbursement levels, providers are

incented to seek lower cost alternatives23

Lower costs for the payer may be passed on to the patient as lower premiums or lower coinsurances, which may increase access to healthcare resources

31

Patient Perspective on Biosimilars

• Patient out-of-pocket expenses are becoming a crucial element in Rx care of patients

• Lower cost alternatives should expand access to important medicines in the US, as has been seen in Europe

• Greater patient access, conceptually, will lead to improved health status, thus lowering overall healthcare costs24

33

CMS final rule CY 2016: Revisions to Payment Policies Under the Physician Fee Schedule21

• More than one biosimilar product to the same reference product• Biosimilars are excluded from coverage gap discount program (donut hole)

• Provider reimbursed at ASP + 6% of reference product (4.23% with sequestration)• At launch, Medicare will pay 106% of WAC until ASP is provided% of WAC

• CMS will group biosimilar products that rely on a common reference product’s biologics license application into the same payment calculation; products will share a common payment limit and HCPCS code.

• Modifiers will be used to distinguish between biosimilar products that appear in the same HCPCS code but are made by different manufacturers

All biosimilars to the same reference

product will share the same J-code and

payment rate

Each biosimilar will have a “random”

4-letter suffix

Fighting Shared J-Codes

APOBIOLOGIX CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

34

• The need to eliminate shared J-codes is getting attention in Congress 52 representatives and 9 GOP senators

have sent letters to Secretary Price and Administrator Verma

• AAM Biosimilar Council is working in Washington D.C. to try to revise the biosimilar coding policy

Federal Reimbursement Landscape

Medicare Part B• Reimbursement treats biosimilars as multiple-source, generic-like products• Shared J- code

APOBIOLOGIX CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

35

Medicare Part D• CMS views biosimilars as non-branded products• Excluded in coverage cap (Donut hole)

Medicaid• Manufacturer rebates position biosimilars as branded products• 23% product rebate

Summary

36

Summary26,27

• Biosimilars are biological compounds that are highly similar to their reference drugs with no clinically meaningful differences in safety, purity, and potency

• Biosimilars, like their reference biologic products, are more complex in structure than pure chemical substances

The active ingredient of a generic drug is structurally identical to the active ingredient of the reference drug

Biosimilars are structurally highly similar, but not identical, to their reference biologic products

• Market access in reimbursement will be critical factors in the adoption of biosimilars

• Biosimilars will create greater competition in the marketplace, increasing the number of safe and effective treatment options
