Novotech, the leading Asia Pacific biotech specialist CRO, joins a prestigious group of global CROs as a finalist in the Scrip Award for Best Full-Service CRO. This year the Award has been split into two categories to separate the full-service providers from the smaller CROs.

According to the Scrip Award organizers: “The Award for the Best CRO acknowledges the critical role that CROs play in drug development. Outsourcing is vital as the pharmaceutical industry seeks to benefit more and more from these specialist companies’ experience in handling all aspects of clinical trials and other research. Today, the role of the CRO has gone beyond the traditional model of service-level agreements, to offer bespoke clinical trial and other strategies; and CROs are increasingly engaged in risk-sharing partnerships, or acting as a single-source developer, while also remaining committed to core strengths.”

The award judges are senior executives from biopharma and investment firms, and clinical research leaders.

Novotech CEO Dr. John Moller said he was extremely pleased that Novotech has been selected as a finalist and thanked the global Novotech team for their hard work and commitment to a truly customer focused approach to accelerate clinical development.

“This level of recognition is a credit to the team and shows our Asia Pacific centered, global operations are setting new standards for biotech CRO partnerships. Our deep experience, exceptional site and investigator relationships – which also translates to patient access – our project management approach focused on problem-solving, ownership and flexibility, and our investments in data and technology combine to deliver the full service, customer focused solutions that biotechs need.”

Novotech has operations across Asia Pacific and the US offering a unique and unparalleled suite of CRO services for early to late phase biotech clinical research.

Novotech, the leading Asia Pacific biotech specialist CRO, will attend ESMO Congress 2022 with new data showing Asia Pacific has seen a 100% growth in oncology trials during 2017 to 2021 and contributes to more than a third of the global clinical development of immune-oncology drugs.

Novotech has experienced CRO operations across APAC and the US offering a unique and unparalleled suite of services for early to late phase biotech clinical research.

The clinical data compiled by GlobalData for Novoteoch also found that: “By the end of 2021 40% of active immuno-oncology clinical trials involved at least one location in the Asia-Pacific region, with majority of trials conducted in China, followed by Australia, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. In the APAC region, the proportion of oncology trials doubled during 2017-2021. In China, the growth in oncology trials was associated with a significant increase in cancer incidence, development of innovative products by domestic companies, focus on immune-oncology, and leadership in cell therapy.”

Novotech, the leading Asia Pacific biotech specialist CRO has released new market data in a report now available titled “Evolution of Clinical Trials in the Asia Pacific Region”. The report was prepared by GlobalData and confirms that “the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region was the largest contributor to the global clinical trial landscape from 2017 to 2021, accounting for more than 50% of conducted trials during the analysis period.”

Download report here https://novotech-cro.com/whitepapers/evolution-clinical-trials-asia-pacific-region-compared-us-and-eu5

In addition, the GlobalData research found that all phases of clinical trials in the region registered higher growth than both the US and the EU5.

The region registered significantly higher growth than the US and the EU5 across all analysed therapeutic areas, including CNS diseases, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and infectious diseases, the latter of which witnessed the highest growth. There was also 100% growth in oncology trials during the same period.

GlobalData analysis of this strong growth has been linked to a range of factors, including:

• site availability, particularly for oncology trials, when compared to the US and Europe
• lower operating costs
• the pharmacogenomic profile of Asian populations as a key factor that requires Phase I data in local populations.

“Add to the mix the ease of regulatory compliance as well as the high standards required, and overseas drugmakers have never been keener to access this burgeoning market,” according to GlobalData. “Recent streamlining of drug approval by the government, guided by the National Health Commission (NHC) and National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), has also resulted in a more efficient and clear-cut drug approval system based on global standards.”

According to Yooni Kim, Vice President, Global Clinical Services Novotech: “Asia-Pacific offers a compelling solution for expedited clinical trials with its vast patient populations, less competitive clinical trial landscape, and world-class KOLs, in addition, regulatory reforms have accelerated approval processes. Novotech’s service delivery model is tailored to the needs of biotech clients.

Novotech, the leading Asia Pacific biotech specialist CRO which has recently expanded its services to the US, congratulates its client SK bioscience on the recent COVID-19 vaccine licence approval.

SK bioscience and GSK recently announced the successful authorization:
SK bioscience announced that ‘SKYCovione(TM),’ South Korea’s first COVID-19 vaccine candidate adjuvanted with GSK’s pandemic adjuvant has been authorized by the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KMFDS). South Korea has become one of the few countries in the world to have both a domestically developed COVID-19 vaccine and a treatment.

SKYCovione(TM) is a self-assembled nanoparticle vaccine targeting the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein for the parental SARS-Cov-2, jointly developed with the Institute for Protein Design (IPD) at the University of Washington School of Medicine with combination of GSK’s pandemic adjuvant. The development of SKYCovione(TM) has been supported by funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).

The results of the Phase III clinical trial, collected in 4,037 adults over 18-year-old, showed that SKYCovione(TM) induced neutralizing antibody responses, against the SARS-CoV-2 parental strain. The neutralizing antibody titres increased about 33 times compared to before the injection and were 3 times that of AstraZeneca’s Vaxzevria(TM), the control vaccine used in the study, 2 weeks after the second dose.

The clinical trial was conducted in cooperation with 16 institutions, including Korea University Guro Hospital and IVI (International Vaccine Institute), a non-profit international organization.

SK bioscience will apply for authorizations at other selected regulatory agencies for distribution of SKYCovione(TM), including through the COVAX Facility and for emergency use listing (EUL) to the World Health Organization (WHO).

SKYCovione(TM) is based on recombinant protein vaccine technology which has been used for development of current vaccines including influenza, hepatitis B, and HPV. SKYCovione(TM) can be stored in normal refrigeration conditions from 2 to 8 degrees Celsius, so it is particularly suitable for use in low-income settings without the need for ultra-cold chain facilities.

The market expects that SKYCovione(TM) will accelerate securing of Korea’s vaccine sovereignty and reducing dependence on vaccine imports.

Jaeyong Ahn, CEO of SK bioscience said, “The development of Korea’s first COVID-19 vaccine was achieved based on the efforts of the government and members who have been working hard all day and night. We will continue to work with various global organizations based on our own research and manufacturing technologies to preemptively respond to new pandemics.”

Dr. John Moller, CEO Novotech said, “As the lead CRO managing the Phase lll study in six APAC countries, the entire team at Novotech congratulates SK bioscience for such an outstanding clinical success and subsequent licence approval. Licence approval is the ultimate goal in clinical research and drug development and we are honoured to be part of the process of bringing new life-saving therapies to market. We look forward to working with SK bioscience on further vaccine developments in the near future.”
