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.

Cell therapies are classified and regulated as
 following:
 Somatic cell therapies, autologous stem cell
 therapies
are classified as the 3rd Medical
 Technology
: IRB review, plus two phases trials,
 safety and efficacy. Applied for somatic cell
 therapies, autologous stem cell therapies.
 Allogeneic stem cells are classified as drugs:
 much more stringent clinical trials, including
 preclinical study, more stringent IRB review, 3
 phases clinical trials.
New Regulation Outlook

New Regulation Outlook
Cell therapy technologies are likely to be
 regulated according to 3 categories:

What Should We Do?

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
