REGULATION
|
Autologous cell therapies are regulated as medical technology
|
DUPLICATION
|
Technology that has already passed Phase II Clinical Trials with
US FDA has the potential to be granted the same status in China with relative ease |
FASTER PATIENT
RECRUITMENT
|
China has much larger patient base
|
BETTER PATIENT
COMPLIANCE
|
Chinese patients typically more compliant with trials. Clinical
Trial SOPs equivalent to USA
|
SHORTER CLINICAL
PATHS |
Shortened clinical pathways exist in China for autologous cell-
based therapies, thus greatly reducing the risk of time-to- money. |
HIGH CAPITAL
EFFICIENCY |
Demonstrated very high capital efficiency in operations - a
fraction of the cost and 3 times translation speed in comparison to similar trials in US, enabling multiple trials with limited capital. |

CBMG Business Model as Example
CBMG has built the first stage of a comprehensive platform that can support multiple
cell lines with multiple partners. |
Therapies developed fit China’s patient profile
|
We in-house develop, in-license technologies.
We establish JVs with partners.
We own trials and clinical protocols.
|
Multiple inflection points exist for each platform as therapies enter into clinical use
|
Autologous cell therapies are regulated as medical technology
|
Build satelite GMP laboratories in large strategic cities
|
Actively contribute in regulatory guidelines
|
