Thymosin
alpha 1 (ZADAXIN generic name) included in Class B of
China’s National Drug Reimbursement List (“NDRL”) in November 2009
NDRL consists of >2,100 drugs
Important component of the healthcare reform plan in China
Government aiming for universal healthcare coverage by 2012
Government to reimburse at least part of the cost of the drug
Set maximum price that will apply in most circumstances
Reimbursement and pricing provisions not expected to go into effect
until 2H 2010, though the timing and outcome of any pricing decision is
uncertain
Expanded access should help support SciClone’s
ongoing efforts to
further expand the reach of ZADAXIN in China

ZADAXIN Development Opportunity:
A High Value Drug for H1N1


ZADAXIN Enhancement of Vaccine for H1N1
Virus
Description
and MOA
ZADAXIN, a synthetic preparation of naturally
occurring
peptide
with
immunostimulatory
activity
which
promotes antibody production
•Potential to develop ZADAXIN as an enhancer of novel
H1N1 flu vaccines globally
Targeting immune compromised population
Approvals in Italy and 12 other countries for influenza
vaccine enhancer indication (6-8 injections)
Commercial
Opportunity
Pursuing extension of existing label in Italy
Emergency approval procedures now in place in most
countries
Potential to expand from Italy to EU, ROW

ZADAXIN Enhancement of Vaccine for H1N1
Virus
Development
Strategy
•Targeting a new dosage regimen effective with one or
two injections
Preclinical studies completed in late 2009
Clinical studies underway in Italy
Using H1N1 vaccine -
Novartis Focetria™
Future
Development
Past experience showed there may be increased
demand if virulence/lethality worsens
Similar to SARS experience   
•Longer-term opportunity to become part of seasonal
flu vaccination regimen for immune compromised
populations


Phase 2 Drug Candidate in
Two Indications: SCV-07


13
SCV-07: Phase 2 Oral Mucositis
(OM)
Opportunity
Description
and MOA
Novel dipeptide
inhibits STAT-3 signaling leading to
dendritic
cell maturation and increased Th1 cytokine
production
Restores balance in Th1/Th2 helper T cell ratio (ratio
shifted to Th2 by radiation)
Subcutaneously as well as orally available
Commercial
Opportunity
•OM after chemoradiation: Vast unmet medical need
Debilitating side effects, including pain, inability to swallow;
complications from feeding tubes and extra medical care
•400,000* head and neck cancer patients in the U.S.
•Exclusive worldwide rights, excluding Russia

14
SCV-07: Phase 2 Oral Mucositis
Opportunity
Development
Strategy
Double-blind, placebo controlled, phase 2 trial  to delay
the onset of severe OM in head and neck cancer patients
and decrease its severity
Enrollment completed in 2H 2009
Future
Development
Topline
results to be reported in 1H 2010
Opportunity
to
prevent
mucositis
from
chemoradiation
in 
other oncology indications


15
SCV-07: Phase 2 HCV Opportunity
Description
and MOA
Novel dipeptide
inhibits STAT-3 signaling leading to
dendritic
cell maturation and increased Th1 cytokine
production
Increases Th1-type immune responses (Th1 responses
needed for viral clearance of infected cells)
Subcutaneously as well as orally available
Commercial
Opportunity
HCV represents large unmet medical need; market size
>$2 B* in 2008; expected to grow to >$10 B* within 5-7 yrs
Interferon has significant side effects and SOC leads to
<50% sustained responses
Limited drugs under development for interferon
replacement
Most drugs in development are direct antivirals

SCV-07: Phase 2 HCV Opportunity
Development
Strategy
Initial
7
day
monotherapy
study
reported
at
EASL
showed SCV-07 is safe
Viral load reduction and increased biomarker (neopterin)
of macrophage activation seen in some patients
Phase
2
trial
of
SCV-07
lead-in
monotherapy
followed
by combination therapy with ribavirin
in patients with
genotype 1 chronic HCV; relapsed to SOC
Trial initiated in 2H 2009 
Topline
results to be reported in 2H 2010
Future
Development
Demonstrate a clinically-relevant result in phase 2
Follow up with additional Phase 2 trial including a STAT-
C drug demonstrating SVRs
superior to or comparable to
SOC but with none of the interferon-type toxicity

DC Bead: Targeting Liver Cancer in China
Description
Embolic agent, delivers chemotherapy drugs
Microscopic beads with dual anti-tumor effects
Deliver doxorubicin, potentially other chemotherapy
agents directly to tumor
Commercial
Opportunity
Exclusive Chinese marketing rights
Market-specific unmet need; Liver cancer one of most
prevalent and deadly cancers in China
271,300 diagnosed population; 64,530 drug-treated
population
Leverage existing brand image, marketing and
distribution channels, and strong in-country sales
expertise

Description
Serotonin 5-HT3 receptor antagonist commonly used to
treat and prevent nausea and vomiting caused by
chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery
Innovative oral thin film formulation of ondansetron
Commercial
Opportunity
Commercialization rights in China and Vietnam
2008 sales of serotonin 5-HT3Serotonin receptor
antagonists reached more than $110 million in China
RapidFilm
delivery provides improvements over generic
and branded formulations of intravenous and oral tablet
