Brexit Guidance

 

The UK is currently negotiating the terms of leaving the EU (Brexit) by 31 October 2019. There remains no definitive indication on changes to future regulatory and cross border trade requirements

 

The possible need to modify the supply chain for products from UK to EU (and EU to UK) cannot be confirmed until negotiations are concluded and the cost/complexity is known.

 

Planning for all scenarios is prudent to ensure continuity of supply to patients regardless of the outcome, as such Catalent recommend including all 3 EU Sites in regulatory submissions to provide maximum flexibility to use any named Catalent CSS facility in the future.

3.5. Receipt, Clinical Storage and Distribution

 

3.5.1. Clinical Storage Conditions

 

Clinical Trial Materials will be received and stored at Catalent at controlled room temperature (15°C to 25°C) and under refrigeration (2° to 8°C) in a secure, temperature-controlled, limited-access area.

 

3.5.2. Distribution Conditions

 

Clinical Trial Materials will be distributed at controlled room temperature (15°C to 25°C) and under refrigeration (2° to 8°C).

 

Standard Service – request must be received no later than 12 noon (local time) or 10 am (Germany local time) for shipment to be processed as requested within 2 working days.

 

For shipments requiring insulated shippers, Catalent can provide a selection of shippers with standard configurations that have been performance tested to provide options for a range of conditions. Client is responsible to provide Catalent with proper packing instructions if a packaging validation has been performed.

 

Premium Service – Clinical Storage & Distribution:

 

Catalent may offer a Premium Service where receipts or shipments are required to be processed on a non-standard timeline. If expedited receipts or shipments are required, charges will be applied to the Project Pricing Fees for services provided by Catalent, as below. Premium Service charges may also be applied where Client-supplied documentation or information has not been provided in a manner or timeframe allowing for a standard turnaround time for receipts or shipments. If a premium courier service is required to support an expedited shipment, then the associated courier fees will also be charged to the Client.

 

Note: Due to external factors (e.g., surrounding temperature, false storage, false conditioning of a shipper), Catalent does not guarantee the temperature of any shipment.

 

3.5.3. Distribution Systems Integration

 

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp has confirmed that IRT services will be provided by TBD.

 

 

Catalent Confidential

Page 5 of 23

 

 

 

fusionInSite™ TRD

 

Through Catalent’s fusionInSite™ portal, Clients can access in a central place the Temperature Recording Device (“TRD”) related data associated with their shipments. This is a subscription service per Project which many of Catalent’s third-party depots also support. Third-party depots provide TRD data to Catalent and this is automatically uploaded against the specific shipment, enabling the Client to view in fusionInSite™.

 

fusionConnect™ – Receiving Shipment Requests from IRT

 

Catalent requests that Client send all shipment requests to Catalent’s integration platform, fusionConnect™, from either Client’s in-house systems or preferred IRT. Catalent, via fusionConnect™, will send acknowledgments and additional information when shipments are dispatched and delivered, adding significant value to the Client’s clinical trial monitoring and management. Catalent has a standard messaging format to receive and send shipment information and will share technical specifications as part of the engagement process. If Catalent has not integrated with a particular IRT then it will engage with that IRT to use the Catalent standard messaging format. Similarly, if the vendor system has not been previously integrated to then a “custom” adapter will be created, if required at an additional cost.

 

Note: Client MUST instruct IRT that integration to fusionConnect™ is required.

 

Inserted as additional line in Distribution Pricing section: Price
fusionConnect™ Study set-up fee $1,600
fusionConnect™ custom adapter creation fee Based upon agreed specifications

 

3.6. Clinical Supplies Management

 

Clinical Supplies Management (CSM) combines the experience of our drug supply professionals with simulation/forecasting capabilities, for either a single protocol or an entire program, supporting your study from initial strategy to final drug accountability to provide cost effective approaches and give you peace of mind.

 

Your Catalent Clinical Supplies Manager will liaise with Catalent Project Managers, the Sponsor, Clinical and IRT personnel to assist with supply forecasts and managing the supply strategy throughout the project lifecycle. This role includes effective management, monitoring and re-forecasting of packaging and distribution strategy to maximize the effectiveness of the clinical supply chain while minimizing cost and risk.

 

Three levels of service can be provided:

 

  Clinical Supplies Management Consultation brings the experience and expertise of the drug supply process to the client on an “as needed” basis at one or more points in the project lifecycle.
     
  Clinical Supplies Management brings the experience and expertise of the drug supply process to the client in a full time capacity across the complete project lifecycle from initial packaging/distribution strategy to final drug accountability.
     
  Clinical Supplies Management combined with Simulation Optimization. Utilization of the Simulation tool executes various scenarios based upon numerous Monte Carlo simulations to mirror real life variability in the course of your clinical trial. Simulation allows fast comparison of various supply and clinical plan strategies, providing data to answer supply chain costs of What If questions such as:

 

  Variations in size of lots; expiry dates; enrollment rates; # sites; # countries; # depots…
  Order quantity and phasing of purchases or manufacture campaigns
  Central vs regional or local randomizations
  Implications to distribution costs of various strategies

 

Pricing for any of the above services can be provided upon request.

3.7. Handling of Returns

 

Catalent does not customarily receive Returned medications (unused or used) for reuse. Exceptions to this will require review by Catalent.

 

If requested, Catalent will receive the Clinical Trial Materials from the clinical site and perform accountability to the shipping unit level.

 

A shipper returned from the study site(s) may contain more than one patient pack but should not exceed 10kg weight. Catalent will not accept sharps or used syringes with needles intact as returned clinical supplies. These supplies are considered medical waste.

 

Returned unused Clinical Trial Materials will be stored in an appropriate area at ambient temperature (unless otherwise specified) and kept segregated until requested by BriaCell Therapeutics to arrange for destruction.

 

On destruction, a Certificate of Destruction will be provided to BriaCell Therapeutics.

7.6. Project Notes/Assumptions

 

Prices are based on utilizing Catalent approved suppliers for raw materials and/or packaging components. If raw materials and/or packaging components are required to be supplied by un- approved vendors the Client may either supply the raw material and/or packaging component from a Client-approved vendor or Catalent will audit the vendor at the Client’s cost.

 

Prices are based on using Catalent’s standard practices. If additional services are required that exceed the standard Catalent practices (i.e., per a Client-specific Quality Agreement) additional costs may be incurred.

 

The storage rate provided in this Quotation is for the standard Catalent unit of storage for that particular storage temperature. Dependent upon the location and requirements, Catalent may also utilize different types of storage unit to provide more cost-effective storage solutions or to increase process efficiency. Should items be stored in a non-standard storage location the Client will be charged an appropriate percentage of the standard unit price.

 

Catalent has commercial agreements with its suppliers and vendors that are not limited to the goods and services to be procured under this work order; Catalent does not pass through benefits (cash discounts, trade discounts, rebates or allowances), if any, received under such agreements.
