12 Who is Leading the Way? Stem Cell Research SOUTH KOREA Researchers refined a process to clone stem cells in human embryos (nuclear transfer, therapeutic cloning). CHINA As in South Korea, China s scientists benefit from regulatory standards less strict than ours. SINGAPORE The development of stem cell science is a national priority in Singapore. ISRAEL Israeli scientists have been leaders in the use of embryonic stem cells to study diabetes, heart disease and cancer. UK The United Kingdom has long been a leader in embryo sciences, creating groundbreaking fertility procedures in the 1970s and cloning Dolly the sheep in 1996.

13 Transplantation Stem Cell Research

14 Stem Cells Embryonic vs. Adult Stem Cells Embryonic Stem Cells are taken from the embryo that can form differentiated cells for all tissues in the body. Embryonic stem cells can self renew and be cultured as a cell line in vitro. Adult Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells found in a specialized tissue. Adult stem cells have the ability to make a limited range of specialized cell types. Adult stem cells are rare, difficult to isolate and have a limited capacity to divide.

15 Possible Sources of Stem Cells Embryonic Stem Cells, Embryonic Germ Cells, Adult Cells Embryos created via IVF (for infertility treatment or for research purposes) Embryos or fetuses obtained through elective abortion Embryos created via SCNT (somatic cell nuclear transfer, or cloning) Adult tissues (bone marrow, umbilical core blood)

22 Stem Cells Could Potentially Cure Cont. Stem Cell Research Diseases Kidney Disease Liver Disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Alzheimer's Disease Muscular Dystrophy Osteoarthritis Autoimmune Disease Lung Disease Therapy By replacing the cells, tissues, or even the kidney itself By replacing liver cells or the liver itself By generating new nerve tissue throughout the spinal cord and body By healing and replacing brain cells By replacing muscle tissue and possibly delivering gene-based cures By helping the body re-grow cartilage By repopulating the cells of the blood and the immune system By growing new lung tissue

23 Federal Policy on Embryonic Human Stem Cell Research 2001 Federal funds can only be used on stem cell lines that have been derived before August 9, Lines have to be from unused blastocysts that were made for IVF. Originally 64 lines, now 21. All lines were made with mouse feeder cells. They have mouse antigens and many of the lines appear to have chromosomal rearrangements.

45 Take Home Message of CCST s Interim IP Report CA has taken a bold step CIRM-funded research will benefit state in significant ways But, expectations of short-term revenue stream and quick availability of new treatments overstated Near-term benefits: Magnet effect for talent to come to CA Enhanced business activity to support research Long-term benefits: Creation of new high-tech jobs Stimulation of the economy and tax revenues Will result in new products and therapeutic treatments--but will take time Overriding IP consideration for grantees should be to move technology from research to other entities as effectively as possible for the public benefit

46 Expectations Taxpayers return on investment is one issue that figured prominently in literature used to promote Prop 71. We find that these proposals, and the statements and studies on which they were based, have unrealistic assumptions about the potential economic impact of CIRM s research program. All interested parties must be mindful of overestimating both the projected revenue stream from IP generated by CIRMfunded grants and the timeline to achieve it.

47 Examples of Unrealistic Assumptions Therapies will use many patents from many sources Royalties from CIRM research alone small US universities receive about $1B from licensing for $40B investment Only 1 in 400 inventions generate more than $1M over lifetime CIRM s $300M may generate $10M Companies pay for commercialization and will not partner if many restrictions

48 Expectations Cont. While expectations of a short-term revenue stream and quick availability to the public of new treatments overstated, CIRM-funded research can be expected to benefit the state in significant ways, particularly in the long term. Improved quality of life for those who suffer from debilitating diseases Attractiveness of CA as a location for biotech companies Development of research tools that will drive research forward

49 Context of CA Stem Cell Funding CIRM funding $300 M per year for 10 years NIH Biomedical research budget $30 B Federal funding of research in higher education, private research institutes, and national labs in California $14 B per year Industry funded R&D in California $45 B per year

53 Models for IP Policy Bayh-Dole Patent and Trademark Amendments Act of 1980 rationalized and simplified the process of moving technologies generated by federally funded research from university laboratories to the private sector Difficult to measure direct effect of Bayh-Dole on tech transfer, but is generally considered to have contributed positively to development of some technologies In many ways, situation in California today regarding state-funded research resembles federal situation prior to passage of Bayh-Dole Federal policy takes precedence over state policy

54 Biomedical R&D Long and Costly Average time to development of a therapy from basic research: 10 years Vast majority of inventions don t lead to therapies

55 War on Cancer Case Study: Development of Rituxan by Biogen Idec

56 Recommendations: CIRM IP Policy Objectives (1) Support open dissemination of research results and transfer of knowledge Ensure that discoveries & research tools are made broadly available To the extent possible, preserve ability for grantees to leverage non-cirm funds in stem-cell related research Encourage practical application of CIRM-funded research results for broad public benefit Accelerate translation of discoveries from research to commercially available diagnostics and treatments To extent possible, balance existing investments with state investments so each receives appropriate return

57 Recommendations: CIRM IP Policy Objectives (2) Promote collaboration between commercial entities and non-profit institutions Encourage private investors to invest in further research and development of new technologies resulting from CIRM-funded research Minimize costs of administering policies Be mindful of time delay and private investment needed before significant benefits accrue to the state

58 Return on Investment (1) Ownership of intellectual property central issue to any IP policy Under Bayh-Dole, ownership resides with grantee In considering IP ownership, important for CIRM to consider: Relative importance of a policy consistent with Bayh-Dole statute Who is best able to manage resulting IP Existing financial models in place to make appropriate investments in protecting early-stage results

59 Return on Investment (2) Defining return on investment complicated Revenues often modest and years in coming Various options for distribution of revenues State must balance desire for financial return on investment with effectiveness of CIRM-funded research; some federal agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, have noted decreased effectiveness of programs when focus on financial returns to funder Whatever California chooses to do, must realize that conditions of CIRM grants need to be competitive

60 General Principles for State IP Policies CIRM recommendations are in line with general principles we are likely to recommend for state-funded research in final report, which include: Consistency with the Bayh-Dole Act Creating incentives for commerce in California from statefunded research to the greatest extent possible Encouraging timely publication of results Diligent development of IP into products that benefit the public CIRM may want to adopt interim policies guided by this interim report and final policies after review of final report to state in December 2005

61 Recommendations for CIRM IP Policies (1) 1. Permit grantees to own IP rights from CIRM-funded research. 2. Require that grantees (individuals, institutions, or both) provide a plan describing how IP will be managed for the advancement of science and California public benefit. 3. Grant basic research funds without requiring that grantees commit to providing a revenue stream to the state. If, however, a revenue stream develops over time, revenues will be reinvested in research and education. 4. Generally, make CIRM-developed research tools widely available to other researchers. 5. Require diligent efforts to develop CIRM-funded IP into therapeutics and diagnostics that can benefit the public.

62 Recommendations for CIRM IP Policies (2) 6. Retain within CIRM Bayh-Dole-like rights to step in if the owner of IP is not undertaking appropriate steps to transfer technology to benefit the public. 7. Leave license particulars to the owner who is in the best position to judge how best to ensure that discoveries are made widely available through commercialization or otherwise. 8. Reserve the right to use IP by or on behalf of CIRM. 9. Establish and maintain a CIRM database to track all IP generated through CIRM funding.
