Plenary Sessions
Opening Plenary Lunch: A High-Speed Option at the FDA: Lessons from Veterans of the Breakthrough Therapy Designation ProcessTuesday, October 7, 2014 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:25 p.m. | Twin Peaks North/SouthThe Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) program instituted under the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA) of 2012 has produced its first set of accelerated approvals under this program, dramatically cutting time to market for some cancer, cystic fibrosis, and hepatitis C therapies. Our panelists will discuss the characteristics of successful applicants, what lessons they learned from their BTD program experience, and what advice they would give companies seeking to apply.
Moderator• Edward Dougherty, Principal, Dentons
Panelists• Cartier Esham, PhD, EVP Emerging Companies Section, BIO• William Lis, CEO, Portola Pharmaceuticals• Patrick J. McEnany, CEO, Catalyst Pharmaceutical Partners• Robert Ryan, MD, President and CEO, Scioderm
Plenary Lunch Session: BioCentury Presents: 22nd Annual “Back to School” ReportWednesday, October 8, 2014 | 12:30 p.m. - 1:25 p.m. | Twin Peaks North/SouthThe 22nd annual “Back to School” report from BioCentury brings a spotlight to drug pricing, and argues that biotech and pharma need to experiment with new pricing models based on value for money while they still have the chance. This session will focus on new pricing models; how to preserve incentives for the innovations that patients depend upon; and how to address potential resistance from boards and shareholders.
Closing Plenary: Up, Up, and Away: How Fragile is the Biotech Rally After Five Positive Years?Wednesday, October 8, 2014 | 3:30 p.m. - 4:25 p.m. | Twin Peaks North/South The past year has seen more biotech IPOs than the past five years combined and companies are going public earlier in their drug development than ever before. Public officials’ comments questioning whether there is a biotech “bubble” have created temporary market shocks before investor confidence returned. Are the innovative researchers and experienced investment community that brought the industry to its current peak communicating well enough to sustain this growth? What external threats deserve watching most closely?

Business Roundtables
JOBS Act, from Enactment to IPO: Surprises from the CEOs in the First GenerationTuesday, October 7, 2014 | 3:30 p.m. - 4:25 p.m. | Twin Peaks North/SouthThe JOBS Act has contributed to a dramatic acceleration in new biotech IPOs since its passage, with nearly a tripling in the rate of companies going public in the industry. By changing how entrepreneurs can access and communicate with investors earlier in the process, the JOBS Act has fundamentally shifted how CEOs of discovery-driven companies must spend their time dealing with internal versus external priorities. Panelists will discuss how investors’ expectations of biotech CEOs are changing and CEOs will describe new opportunities they have and surprises they encountered in taking their companies public in a post-JOBS Act environment, with implications for future entrepreneurs and policy experts.
Moderator• Cartier Esham, PhD, EVP Emerging Companies Section, BIO
Panelists• Paul J. Hastings, Chairman and CEO, OncoMed Pharmaceuticals • John Orwin, President and CEO, Relypsa • Effie Toshav, Partner, Fenwick & West LLP• Robert Ward, President and CEO, Radius Health
Blurred Lines: Explaining VCs’, CVCs’, and IBs’ Re-Thinking of Traditional Private-Only or Public-Only Investment StrategiesWednesday, October 8, 2014 | 2:00 p.m. - 2:55 p.m. | Twin Peaks North/SouthThe recent expansion and acceleration of the biotech stock market has seen a new willingness and in some cases eagerness to pursue crossover investing in firms pre- and post-IPO. Venture capitalists have become less dogmatic about funding stage and equity share when positive returns seem nearly guaranteed and investment banks are engaging in discussions with entrepreneurs earlier than ever. Relatedly, corporate venture capital executives’ missions have broadened to consider more diverse forms of collaboration than the path to full acquisition. This panel will discuss how temporary or permanent these shifts appear to be and the implications for biotech firms reaching out to the investment community.

Therapeutic Sessions
T-Cell Therapies: Best Bets in Pushing Down the Cost Curve and Prioritizing Cancer TargetsTuesday, October 7, 2014 | 9:00 a.m. - 9:55 a.m. | Twin Peaks North/SouthNew approaches in cancer immunology are achieving promising early-stage results through novel techniques for arming the body’s own T cells to have greater impact on reducing tumors and preventing the spread of disease. CAR-T methods that extract, reengineer, and reintroduce a given patient’s T cells provide highly personalized therapy but may be difficult to scale up. The interleukin enhancement approach motivates existing T cells to be more potent and may be easier to deliver but have less pervasive effects. Early signs also suggest significant side-effect risks that will need to be understood and reduced for T-cell therapies to progress to commercialization. This panel will review priorities in the field for tailoring T-cell approaches to different cancer types and improving therapy efficiencies.

Gene Therapy Ascending? Today’s Advancements Over Past HurdlesWednesday, October 8, 2014 | 10:30 a.m. - 11:25 a.m. | Twin Peaks North/SouthSince the great excitements and disappointments of gene therapy’s first clinical era, the 1990s, researchers have revised traditional approaches and developed innovative new techniques, including CRISPR/cas-9, to edit genes with greater speed and precision than ever before. Across a wide range of diseases, gene therapy is showing traction with fresh clinical results and attracting more than $600 million in venture capital in the past two years. However, real challenges remain in delivery of therapies in sufficient concentrations to achieve lasting results without introducing harmful complications. This panel will discuss the variety of strategies companies are employing to reduce risks and improve patient outcomes.

BIO is pleased to feature Ken Drazan and Nick Leschly as this year’s fireside chat speakers! Fireside chats feature candid discussions between biopharma senior executives and industry experts. Hear about recent company successes, what keeps the C-suite up at night, and where the industry’s leading companies are headed in 2015.
Electroceuticals and Digital Drug Delivery: Neurological Stimulation and BeyondWednesday, October 8, 2014 | 9:00 a.m. - 9:55 a.m. | Twin Peaks North/SouthSome of the most experienced executives in biotechnology have begun asking themselves, “Can we foresee the day of diminishing returns from research in traditional molecular biology?” These researchers are investigating alternative modalities of providing therapy that would combine electronic sensing with drug delivery or even stimulating the body through electricity alone to produce a desired response. These “electroceutical,” or “bioelectronics,” approaches have produced exciting results in early clinical trials, particularly related to insulin control and pain management. These innovative approaches suggest opportunities to rejuvenate past drug candidates that might show more effectiveness through the introduction of implantable electronic sensors combined with injectors. Marrying the fast-cycle nature of the electronics industry with the deliberate approach of clinical trials involves risks in execution but great potential returns. A recent National Institutes of Health announcement to create a $248 million fund to support research in electroceuticals endorses the hope in this integrative approach.
