 Strategic Statement


   Ezose strives to increase contracts by 50% in 2012, while becoming a self-
  sufficient company that is recognized as the premiere name in glycomics by
      2014. This will be accomplished by leveraging Ezose’s revolutionary
 proprietary glycan technology to discover and develop new biomarkers quicker
  and at a lower cost than their competitors, while retaining intellectual property
            rights for themselves and their parent company Shionogi.


    Objective:
                     To increase market awareness of its unique
                     services while focusing on internal growth
                  and increasing the number of research contracts
                                                                                      11

  1. Companion diagnostic –A diagnostic test used to predict the likely clinical effectiveness and/or safety of a particular therapeutic intervention for a specific individual; the term is most often used to describe a molecular diagnostic test that stratifies a patient population with regard to the likelihood of response to, or the safety of, a pharmacologic therapy.Biomarker discovery for applications in drug discovery, preclinical studies of drug development and diagnostics research applications was the largest and accounted for nearly 48% of the total marketing in 2007. This market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16.9% to reach nearly $6b by 2012, somewhat vindicating companies such as Vermillion (formerly Ciphergen) turning their back on instrumentation sales to focus on discovery programmes. The second biggest segment was found to be the use of biomarkers on molecular diagnostics applications which was estimated to be worth $2.3b in 2007. The report predicts this market will grow at a CAGR of 17.5% to be worth $5.2B by 2012. This market will provide the point-of-care and laboratory based diagnostic tools that enable a more informed ability to choose the right drug for a disease and patient.While currently the smallest business segment, having been valued at around $612M in 2007, the clinical trials market has been predicted to see the largest growth rate with a CAGR of 23.5%. This growth would see the market for biomarkers in clincial trials reach $1.8b by 2012, and has already been spotted by many CROs with Covance having luanched a biomarker expert team earlier this year.The report suggests that the use of biomarkers to aid the discovery, testing and prescription of oncology therapeutics will be one of the biggest application areas. Applications in the cardiovascular and centralnervous system areas are expected to grow during the next 7 years. Advances in technology that enable faster metabolomic, proteomic and genomic data acquisition as well as its integration with clinical trial data using bioinformatics software will all be major driving foces behind the growth of this burgeoning area.
  2. From Wikipedia:The following are some of those functions:Glycoproteins found on the cell surface play a critical role in bacterial and viral recognition.They are involved in cellular signaling pathways and modulate cell function.They are important in innate immunity.They determine cancer development.They orchestrate the cellular fate, inhibit proliferation, regulate circulation and invasion.They affect the stability and folding of proteins.They affect the pathway and fate of glycoproteins.There are many glycan-specific diseases, often hereditary diseases.There are important medical applications of aspects of glycomics:Lectins fractionate cells to avoid graft-versus-host disease in stem celltransplantation.Activation and expansion of cytolyticCD8T cells in cancer treatment.Glycomics is particularly important in microbiology because glycans play diverse roles in bacterial physiology.[5] Research in bacterial glycomics could lead to the development of:novel drugsbioactive glycansglycoconjugate vaccinesSeparation:BlotGlyco®—Ezose Sciences employs Glycoblotting technology, which is faster and easier than conventional methods. This rapid chemoselective process features an “all-in-one” bead-based platform technology that enriches oligosaccharides from crude mixture, enabling highly selective and high-throughput (profiling of 30–40 kinds of major glycoforms) purification of oligosaccharide. Only a small sample is needed for a full analysis. Results are proven comparable to standard methods.SweetBlot® Automated ProcessingSweetBlot®—Ezose Sciences’ SweetBlot technology provides for fully automated, high-throughput glycan sample processing, thus reducing operator error and standardizing results. (Current capacity of ~180 samples/day, and scalable)MALDI-MS Quantitative DetectionQuantitative MALDI-MS—Ezose Sciences uses a unique protocol in combination with MALDI mass spectrometry that enables sample identification and quantitation with reproducibility comparable to HPLC, yet at a far greater throughput. Both neutral and acidic oligosaccharides are simultaneously quantified.GlycanMap® ReportA detailed glycosylation profile that can be employed to achieve a variety of endpoints related to process development, formulation, stability, quality control and biomarker discovery.

  4. I would just summarize the statement as saying, 50% increase in contracts by leveraging their unique technologyAcceptance of more Fee-for-Service (Cost + 20%) contractsReturn business = future royalties/IP rights
  5. Glycomics is a young, developing field.
  6. Customer TypePharmaceutical and Biotech CompaniesRequest glycan mapping and/or biomarker analysis to assist their own preclinical/clinical researchMay use Ezose’s service to produce commercially viable therapeutic, diagnostic, or companion diagnostic productswould prefer to pay, as per industry standard, a fee-for-service of cost plus 20%may offer royalties or intellectual property rights for applications developed from the research
  7. A purchase of a third GlycanMAP instrument by the end of 2012Increased research capacitySelf-sustainabilityStrategic Alliance:Being small can have its advantages – it offers flexibility to respond to changing market trends faster than larger competitors can and can also make for more personalized relations with the customer. However, being small can also have its limitations. One of the smaller CROs, Pacific Biomarkers, with a similar business model as Ezose, realized that clinical trial services are increasingly required to be global and that services offered by a single location often cannot meet sponsors’ turnaround time requirements, may be cost-prohibitive (due to shipping costs) or may not accommodate sample stability restrictions. Because of this, they teamed up with Quintiles Laboratories, one of the larger CROs, to match their core capabilities and expertise with the global logistics offered by Quintiles to successfully support large, multinational clinical trials (Ehlers). While Ezose does not need to form a strategic alliance with a larger company in the current environment, if the threat of industry consolidation and the dominance of larger CROs make survival on its own impossible, Ezose should look to partner with a company similar to Quintiles, such as Covance, PPD or Charles River.
  8. Sense of urgency:Companies are currently in the market for Biomarker discoveryPharmaceutical and biotech companies are consolidating the number of firms they outsource work to
