Gilead Sciences’ Commitment to Innovation and Access

Mission: Discover, develop and deliver innovative medicines in areas of unmet medical need

• The active ingredient in Gilead’s HIV medicines is the most widely prescribed molecule (TDF) for HIV therapy worldwide. Gilead improves HIV care by developing single tablet regimens.

• New hepatitis C (HCV) regimens provide a simple, safe and highly effective cure. An all-oral regimen to treat all HCV patients (pangenotypic) is in development.

Focus on patient needs

• All people should have access to our medicines, regardless of where they live or their economic status.

• As part of a comprehensive access approach, Gilead has entered into licensing agreements with generic pharmaceutical manufacturers to create a sustainable, market-based model for broadening access to HIV, hepatitis B (HBV) and HCV medicines in the developing world.

• Our partnership model for HIV now reaches more than 6.7 million patients in developing countries.

The HIV Partnership Model: Creating Demand, Reducing Prices and Increasing Access

$5.6B

Donor support of the Gilead partnership model created demand for generic competition, resulting in prices falling 80% since 2006. We are now reaching

6.7 million people, 52 percent of those receiving HIV treatment globally.

$20.7B

Benefits from the Licensing Model

• Technology transfer of the pharmaceutical manufacturing process

• Shortens regulatory approval process

• Ensures safety, quality and efficacy standards

• Reduces the length of time to scale up production and reach patients

• Partners have received a combined 34 U.S. FDA tentative approvals and WHO pre-qualifications

• Allows licensees to compete for high-volume business through national tenders and multilateral treatment programs

• Indian manufacturers are responsible for more than 80 percent of sales of TDF-containing medicines to developing countries through this partnership

• Economic growth in India: high-wage jobs for scientists, engineers, doctors and global managers

• Long-term capital investment in manufacturing for high-value medical products

Epidemiology of Hepatitis C

Viral hepatitis is far more common than HIV; it is estimated that 185 million people are infected with HCV

From Innovation to Access

• Research and development

• Develop HCV treatments with high cure rates and shortened duration of therapy, including single tablet, pangenotypic regimens

• Clinical development

• Support high-quality medical research conducted in countries where HCV is most prevalent

• Regulatory approvals

• Submit country dossiers for regulatory approvals

• Manufacturing and distribution

• Develop tiered-pricing structure, negotiate generic licenses and build regional partnerships to enable access

The Comprehensive Approach to Access

Page 13: WIPO Global Challenges Seminar Innovation and Access: A Case Study for HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C Gregg Alton, Executive Vice President, Corporate and Medical

Expanding Hepatitis C Treatment Access in Egypt

Increasing access in Egypt is a high priority, given the enormous national burden of HCV

− 12 million Egyptians infected; 15% of total pop.

Gilead and Egypt’s Ministry of Health signed an agreement in July 2014

− Sovaldi® priced at $300/bottle – our lowest available pricing, given national HCV burden

− Distributed through Government-run treatment centers

− Gilead to provide medical education and training initiatives

Egyptian Government strongly committed to scaling up HCV treatment in the country

− Goal of treating 1 million patients in 4 years

• Country-level clinical and policy leadership• National guidelines

• Country strategic plans (i.e., awareness, screening, care and treatment)

• Healthcare system capacity

• Country-level funding

• International donor funding • Increases demand and enables global forecasting, which increases

competition and lowers prices

• Regulatory harmonization • Accelerates distribution and patient access

• Licensing and technology transfer partnerships• Ensures licensing partner program quality control through technology

transfer

• Protects partner investments in scale and manufacturing

HCV Tiered Pricing Structure

Because Gilead’s tiered pricing structure takes disease burden into account, some countries fall into a lower income tier than their World Bank classification

(upper-middlelower-middle, lower-middlelow)
