1. Scope of Master Agreement; Obligations

 

  1.1. The specific responsibilities and obligations to be performed by Omnicare CR with respect to a Project (the “Services”), as set forth in the applicable Protocol(s), are expressly set forth in Exhibit(s) attached to this Master Agreement, which, together with the Exhibit(s) attached hereto, are incorporated by reference herein. No Exhibit will be attached to this Master Agreement or become effective without first being executed by duly authorized representatives of the parties hereto. To the extent any terms set forth in an Exhibit shall conflict with the terms set forth in this Master Agreement, the terms of this Master Agreement will take precedence unless the Exhibit expressly states that a conflicting term is intended to modify a specific term in this Master Agreement. The responsibility for the Services is being transferred to Omnicare CR in accordance with 21 C.F.R. §312.52. Those responsibilities and obligations not specifically transferred to and assumed by Omnicare CR in this Master Agreement or the Exhibit(s) as constituting part of the Services shall be and remain the sole responsibility of Sponsor.

Omnicare CR under applicable law.

8. Indemnification

 

  8.1. Sponsor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Omnicare CR and its Affiliate Entities, and their respective officers, directors and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, investigations, suits or actions (each a “Claim”) for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs or expenses of every kind whatsoever (including but not limited to court costs, legal fees, awards of settlements) arising out of, in connection with or related to this Master Agreement and/or the Exhibit(s); provided, however, that Sponsor’s indemnity obligations under this Section 8 shall not apply to any Claim to the extent arising directly from Omnicare CR’s negligence or willful malfeasance.

 

  8.2. Omnicare CR agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sponsor and its respective officers, directors and employees from and against any and all Claims for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, costs or expenses of every kind whatsoever (including but not limited to court costs, legal fees, awards or settlements) arising out of, in connection with or related to any breach of this Master Agreement and/or the Exhibit(s) by Omnicare CR, including any breach of warranties, or any willful, unlawful or negligent act or omission of Omnicare CR.

 

  8.3. Each person or entity seeking indemnification under this Section 8 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, as a condition thereto, notify the other party within twenty (20) days after the receipt of notice of the Claim; provided, however, that the other party shall not be released from its obligations under this Section 8 if the failure to notify that other party within twenty (20) days does not materially prejudice the defense of such Claim. That other party shall have the right to select defense counsel and to direct the defense or, with the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) settlement of, any Claim. In the event that representation of an Indemnified Party and the other party by the same counsel would be a conflict of interest for such counsel, the Indemnified Party may select its own independent counsel without relieving the other party of its obligations under this Section 8. Under no circumstances shall an Indemnified Party settle or otherwise compromise any Claim without the other party’s prior written consent.

 

  8.4. This clause shall survive the expiration or termination of the Master Agreement and/or the Exhibit(s).

16. Entire Agreement

This Master Agreement, together with all corresponding Exhibits, Amendments or Change Orders, constitutes the entire agreement between Sponsor and Omnicare CR with respect to the subject matter hereof, and replaces and supersedes any and all prior and contemporaneous agreements and/or understandings, whether oral or written, between Sponsor and Omnicare CR with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Master Agreement (including the Exhibit(s)) may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by a duly authorized officer of each party.

17. Construction of Agreement

The descriptive headings of the Sections of this Master Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Master Agreement. The failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Master Agreement (including the Exhibit(s)) shall not be construed as a waiver or limitation of that party’s subsequent rights to enforce and compel strict compliance with every provision of this Master Agreement. To the extent any provision of this Master Agreement or the application thereof is found by a proper authority to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be considered deleted herefrom, and the remainder of this Master Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

18. Assignment and Sub-contracting

Neither Sponsor nor Omnicare CR may assign this Master Agreement or any rights hereunder or delegate the performance of any duties hereunder without the prior written approval of the other party, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld; provided, however, that without such consent, either party may assign this Master Agreement in connection with the transfer or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, stock or business, or its merger, reorganization, consolidation or combination with or into another entity; provided, further, however, without such consent, Omnicare CR may assign any rights hereunder to an Affiliate Entity and Sponsor may assign any rights hereunder to its parent company or a subsidiary of said parent company without the consent of Omnicare CR. Omnicare CR shall not sub-contract any Services under an Exhibit to any legal entity other than an Affiliate Entity without the prior written consent of Sponsor, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Subject to the foregoing, this Master Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

19. Timely Review

Sponsor acknowledges that Omnicare CR will require, among other things: (a) timely review of Omnicare CR’s work product; and (b) timely supplies of documents, data, records, and investigational drug product(s) from Sponsor in order to properly perform the Services hereunder and that Omnicare CR are not responsible for errors, delays or other consequences arising from the failure of Sponsor to provide such review and/or materials. Sponsor therefore agrees that it will: (a) promptly review Omnicare CR’s work product where such review is required and/or

 

 

**** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

11


necessary; and (b) provide all documents, data, records, investigational drug product(s) and other materials necessary for completion of Omnicare CR’s tasks and Services in a timely manner and in accordance with the schedule or timeline for the applicable Project.

Sponsor agrees to reasonably extend all deadlines hereunder due to delays (by Sponsor or contractors under its control) in (a) reviewing Omnicare CR’s work product; and (b) providing documents, data, records and investigational drug product(s) and other materials needed for the completion of Omnicare CR’s tasks and Services.

20. Restriction

For the period commencing on the date of execution of the last party to sign this Master Agreement and continuing for a period of one (1) year after the termination or expiration of this Master Agreement, each party agrees that it shall not knowingly solicit (as defined below) any of the other party’s or any of the other party’s affiliates’ then current personnel, whether employees or independent contractors under agreement with that other party. As used in this Section 20, “solicit” means the initiation of a contact with any of the other party’s or any of the other party’s affiliates’ then current personnel for the purpose of offering employment to such personnel, but shall not include the circumstance where any such personnel initiate a contact with the party for the purpose of obtaining employment with that party, whether in response to a general advertisement of employment placed by that party or otherwise, or where such contact is initiated by a third party who was not instructed to contact such personnel by that party.

D. Clinical Data Management

Data Management Project Team

Due to the nature of the deliverables for this study, Omnicare CR has assumed a Clinical Data Leader (CDL) will be assigned to the Project for almost **** days per month for just over **** months. The LCDM will provide oversight of the management team as well as ensure that all deliverables are achieved.

On a continual basis, the Omnicare CR team, CRAs, Project Leader/CTM and the CDL will work in concert, will evaluate number and type of queries being generated by Clinical Data Management, in order to proactively manage the retrieval of quality data for both the studies and site release status. Plans will be implemented to inspect the data for trends and issues in order to provide focused training at both the project team and the site levels. This will commence as soon as the first CRF pages are submitted in order to proactively resolve data issues.

It is Omnicare CR’s policy to perform a quality control (QC) of the final database to ensure the error rate is within an acceptable range. Each CRF will be printed as a data listing with 100% QC of pre-defined critical data fields against the hard-copy CRF. In addition, a sampling of the patient data will undergo quality control for 100% of the data fields, prior to declaration of a clean database. The processes and outcomes of these QC audits will be documented, with audit findings corrected within the timeframe identified with the Data Management Plan. Omnicare CR supports the plan for transfer of clean data to give both Sponsor and the Omnicare CR Biometrics Group an opportunity to review clean data periodically, ensuring that guidelines are complete and accurate, and that the data is represented correctly in preparation for the analysis.

Omnicare CR believes that these strategies will ensure:

 

   

Cleaner cases and data.

 

   

Minimises queries — assumption of one query every **** CRF pages.

 

   

Timely resolution of study and site issues.

 

   

Cohesiveness between Sponsor, Omnicare CR and the study site.

submitted to Data Management. This will ensure there are no delays in reviewing and querying the data. Omnicare CR suggests a periodic review of the edit specifications and data review guidelines to ensure that the rules and edit checks meet the project needs.

Data Entry

Omnicare CR assumes the CRFs for screen failure patients will not be received in-house, unless otherwise specified. All CRF and ancillary data received from the investigative Site are logged into a tracking database on a page-by-page basis. Each page is identified by type of page and date received. Working copies will be maintained in CDM and used for any annotations during processing and cleaning. All original (white) CRF and query pages will be immediately sent for filing in the Project Master File.

Data Review and Query Processing

Omnicare CR assumes that the study data will be received in TBD retrieval / retrievals per subject. Data review includes **** (****) manual review data checks and the application of **** (****) study assumptions for every **** (****) pages of the CRF per subject. Omnicare CR assumes that the manual review checks are not expected to exceed **** checks comparing **** datapoints.

Quality Control Check of the Database

It is Omnicare CR’s policy to perform a QC of the final database ensuring the error rate is within an acceptable range. Each CRF will be printed as a data listing with 100% QC of adverse events and the protocol identified primary efficacy parameters against the hard-copy CRF. Also, a random sample subset of the patients will under go a 100% QC of all data points vs. the CRFs, to ensure the estimate of the error rate for the database is within acceptable limits prior to declaration of clean database. The processes and outcomes of these QC procedures will be documented, with the findings, corrected within the timeframe identified within the DMP. Omnicare CR believes that these strategies will ensure the following results with respect to these studies:

 

   

Quality data

 

   

On-time delivery of Final Clean Clinical Study Databases

 

   

NO surprises when preparing for data analysis

Dictionary Coding

Omnicare CR is proficient in coding to both MedDRA and the WHO-Drug dictionaries. Additional dictionaries can also be accommodated.

Sponsor is required to have a current MedDRA license in good standing prior to receipt of any MedDRA coded terms. It is assumed under this Exhibit that Sponsor has a current MedDRA license in good standing and that such will be maintained throughout the course of the Project.

Reconciliation of the Safety and Clinical Database

Omnicare CR assumes a total of **** SAE for this project. A total of **** (****) Adverse Event (AE) qualifiers will be reconciled. Omnicare CR’s Clinical Data Leader will update Omnicare CR’s Safety group with the DCF responses and the Safety group will update Sponsor of the changes.

E. Biometrics Analysis

Statistical Analysis Plan

Omnicare CR will develop a statistical analysis plan, including operational definition of endpoints to be analysed, definition of patient subsets (evaluable and intent-to-treat), visit windows, rules for data handling, and a detailed description of statistical methodology.

If Sponsor has a standard statistical analysis plan template then this can be used instead. Omnicare CR has budgeted for one Sponsor review and one revision.

Design of Table Shells (Mocks)

The statistical plan will include a set of formatted shells for all data displays (data listings, summary tables and graphics) planned for each study. If formatted data displays are not required, a detailed table of contents of SAS generated data displays will be included.

Tables, Listings and Graph Programming

Omnicare CR will perform the programming and will validate the following tables, listings and figures/graphs:

 

      Unique   Repeat   Total

Tables

   ****   ****   ****

Listings

   ****   ****   ****

Figures/Graphs

   ****   ****   ****

Database Transfer

Omnicare CR assumes **** standard and **** subsequent database transfers which will be submitted to Sponsor in the form of SAS datasets.

Statistical Report

A statistical report will be developed in accordance with Sponsor’s requirements and will summarise the results of the study, including findings that may not be appropriate for the body of the clinical report (tests for interaction, data distribution issues, etc.), deviations from the planned analyses, and additional exploratory analyses.

F. Clinical Writing

Clinical Study Report

Omnicare CR will draft the integrated clinical and statistical summary in accordance with ICH guidelines on the “Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports”, appropriate agency regulations, and Omnicare CR SOPs and clinical study report format. A draft clinical report will

be generated within **** (****) weeks after receipt of source material and final summary tables and patient data listings.

Biometrics will produce up to **** tables and **** listings that will be summarised in the clinical study report. Sponsor will provide **** set of collated comments. Omnicare CR’s cost estimate includes **** major (up to **** days) and **** minor (up to **** day) revision. This fee does not include the compilation or collation of clinical study report appendices.

G. Regulatory

Filing and Reconciliation of CRFs in the Study Master File

CRFs tracked in clinical data management (CDM) are transferred to the Study Master File. CRFs and ancillary pages are verified against the CDM tracking log and then filed. Sponsor will be billed for the actual number of pages filed.

CRF Return

Omnicare CR will return the CRFs in accordance with Omnicare’s SOPs within **** (****) months of final study deliverable. The CRFs are reviewed and reconciled against the CRF tracker from Omnicare’s CDM department. Sponsor will be billed for the actual number of pages returned.

Return Study Master Files — Hard Copy

Omnicare will return the Study Master File in hard copy format in accordance with Omnicare’s SOPs within **** (****) months of final study deliverable. A final review of the study wide and individual investigator files is completed by Project Management for completeness and accuracy. Sponsor will be billed for the actual number of sites returned.

H. Clinical Quality Assurance and Validation

Quality Plan

Omnicare will develop a customised project-specific Quality Plan in partnership with Sponsor. The plan will include details such as the percentages of sites/patients/data to be audited, the timeline of audits, and the plan for generation of individual Audit Reports and Certificates. Sponsor will be requested to review and sign off on the plan and any necessary amendments to the original plan, prior to implementation.

CQA Site Audit

Omnicare will conduct **** site audit. The site audit will include ****% review of essential documents, including all informed consent documents and serious adverse event reporting compliance. In addition, for approximately ****% (with a minimum of ****) of subjects at the study site, CRF data will be audited against source documents with an emphasis on critical efficacy and safety data; drug accountability will also be verified for these subjects. The associated cost budgeted includes preparation and travel time, audit time, audit follow-up, and Audit Report and Audit Certificate generation.

Due to the nature of the deliverables for this Project, Omnicare CR has assumed a Clinical Data Manager (CDM) will be assigned to this project for almost **** days per month for just over **** months. The CDM will provide oversight of the data management team as well as ensure that all deliverables are achieved.

On a continual basis, the Omnicare CR team, Project Leader/Biostatistics Team Leader; the Clinical Data Manager and the Lead Clinical Data Analyst will work in concert, will evaluate the number and type of queries being generated by Clinical Data Management, in order to proactively manage the retrieval of quality data and site release status Plans will be implemented to inspect the data for trends and issues in order to suggest focused training at both the project team and the site levels. This will commence as soon as the first CRF pages are submitted in order to proactively resolve data issues.

It is Omnicare CR’s policy to perform a quality control (QC) of the final database to ensure the error rate is within an acceptable range. Each CRF will be printed as a data listing with 100% QC of pre-defined critical data fields against the hard-copy CRF. In addition, a ****% sampling of the patient data will undergo quality control for 100% of the data fields, prior to declaration of a clean database. The processes and outcomes of these QC audits will be documented, with audit findings corrected within the timeframe identified with Data Management Plan. Omnicare CR supports the plan for transfer of clean data to give both Sponsor and the Omnicare Biometrics Group an opportunity to review clean data periodically, ensuring that guidelines are complete and accurate, and that the data is represented Correctly in preparation for the analysis.

Omnicare CR believes that these strategies will ensure:

 

 

Cleaner cases and data.

 

 

Minimises queries.

 

 

Timely resolution of study and site issues.

 

 

Cohesiveness between Sponsor, Omnicare CR and the study site.

 

 

On-time delivery of final clean clinical study database.

 

 

No surprises when preparing for data analysis.

Clinical Data Manager

The Clinical Data Manager assigned to this project will oversee all Data Management activities throughout the life of the project.

Dictionary coding guidelines and processes

 

 

Database closure procedures

Prior to the start of Data Management activities, the Data Management Plan and edit specifications must be agreed to and signed by the Omnicare CR designee and Sponsor representative. The agreement to all data handling rules will ensure an accurate and timely final database lock leading to a successful data analysis. It is assumed that all portions of the Data Management Plan related to any specific task will be agreed upon prior to the start of those activities.

Data Tracking and Data Entry

The dual data entry strategy will be utilised for numeric and/or text fields. Data will be entered by one member of the data entry staff and re-entered on-line by a second member of the staff. CRF data for screen failure patients will be tracked and entered into the database but will not be cleaned.

All CRF and ancillary data received from the investigative sites are logged into a tracking database on a page-by-page basis. Each page is identified by type of page and date received. Working copies will be maintained in Clinical Data Management and used for any annotations during processing and cleaning. All original (white) CRF pages will be archived by the Sponsor prior to the working Copies being sent to Omnicare CR.

Data Review and Query Processing

Following the data handling rules and edits specifications listed in the Data Management Plan, the Lead CDA will be responsible for:

 

 

Reviewing the CRF data for obvious corrections and potential queries via the electronic Edit checks and the Manual review checks listed in the Data Management Plan

 

 

Applying any agreed upon self evident corrections or study assumptions

 

 

Transmitting queries to investigative sites via monitors

Working with the Clinical Data Manager to ensure all Data Clarification Forms (DCFs) are signed by the investigator and received in house via fax or mail.

On a continual basis, the Clinical Data Manager will evaluate the number and type of queries being generated by Clinical Data Management, in order to proactively manage the retrieval of quality data on these studies. The team will frequently inspect the data for trends and identification of issues, providing feedback to both the project team and the site. This will begin as soon as sufficient CRF pages are received to identify the trends.

Reconciliation of Safety and Clinical Database

Omnicare CR assumes a total of **** SAEs for this project. A total of **** (****) Adverse Event (AE) qualifiers will be reconciled. Omnicare CR’s Clinical Data Manager will update with the DCF responses and inform Sponsor of the changes.

D. Biometrics

Statistical Analysis Plan

Omnicare CR will develop a statistical analysis plan, including operational definition of endpoints to be analysed, definition of patient subsets (evaluable and intent-to-treat), visit windows, rules for data handling, and a detailed description of statistical methodology.

If Sponsor has a standard statistical analysis plan template then this can be used instead. Omnicare CR has budgeted for one Sponsor review and one revision.

Design of Table Shells (Mocks)

The statistical plan will include a set of formatted shells for all data displays (data listings, summary tables and graphics) planned for each study. If formatted data displays are not required, a detailed table of contents of SAS generated data displays will be included.

Database Transfer

Omnicare CR assumes **** standard database transfer that will be submitted to Sponsor in the form of SAS datasets.

Top Line Statistics Summary Report / Statistical Report

A report will be developed in accordance with Sponsor’s requirements and will summarise the results of the study, including findings that may not be appropriate for the body of the clinical report (tests for interaction, data distribution issues, etc.), deviations from the planned analyses, and additional exploratory analyses.

It has been assumed that the Top Line Statistics Summary Report will include a small number of safety and efficacy tables with a brief overview of the document that is sufficient for inclusion in a Press Release to be organised by Sponsor.

Lab Samples

Lab samples are being analysed centrally at QML in Australia.

E. Clinical Writing

Clinical Study Report

The integrated clinical and statistical summary will be prepared in accordance with ICH guidelines on the “Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports”, appropriate agency regulations, and Omnicare CR’s SOI’s and clinical study report format. A draft clinical report will be generated within **** (****) weeks after receipt of source material and final summary tables and patient data listings.

The designated Omnicare CR clinical writers will liaise closely with the statistician and other team members. All clinical documents will receive two levels of quality control reviews before they are released. There will be a QC review by an independent clinical writer for accuracy and consistency, and a review by the writing manager for accuracy, client format consistency, and appropriate regulatory and clinical perspective. The first draft will then be provided to the Sponsor for review.

The second draft clinical study report will be produced after receipt of one set of collated comments from the Sponsor. It is our experience at Omnicare CR that this can be facilitated, more speedily, by ****. The second draft will be reviewed within the Clinical Writing Department at Omnicare CR to ensure that all Sponsor comments are addressed and that all changes are consistent with the supporting data. Following the Sponsor’s second review, minor revisions will be made and the report finalised.

Omnicare CR Biometrics will provide up to **** tables, **** listings and **** figures that will be summarised in the clinical study report.

Page 10


This fee includes **** major and **** minor revision. One major revision of the draft report is considered to be up to **** (****) days of requested changes and a minor revision is up to **** (****) day of requested changes. Patient narratives will be drafted from final patient data listings. Omnicare CR Clinical Writing will prepare patient narratives for SAEs and discontinuations due to adverse events based upon a $**** per narrative fee. This fee does not include the collation or compilation of clinical study report appendices.

Clinical Writing Input to SAP

Omnicare CR Clinical Writing will review the draft statistical analysis plan and mock summary tables and data listings for consistency with the protocol and ICH guidelines. Clinical Writing will provide feedback on the table design and format to facilitate the use of the data in the clinical study report.

Due to the nature of the deliverables for this Project, Omnicare CR has assumed a Clinical Data Manager (CDM) will be assigned to this project for almost **** days per month for just over **** months. The CDM will provide oversight of the data management team as well as ensure that all deliverables are achieved.

On a continual basis, the Omnicare CR team, Project Leader/Biostatistics Team Leader, the Clinical Data Manager and the Lead Clinical Data Analyst will work in concert, will evaluate the number and type of queries being generated by Clinical Data Management, in order to proactively manage the retrieval of quality data and site release status. Plans Will be implemented to inspect the data for trends and issues in order to suggest focused training at both the project team and the site levels. This will commence as soon as the first CRF pages are submitted in order to proactively resolve data issues.

It is Omnicare CR’s policy to perform a quality control (QC) of the final database to ensure the error rate is within an acceptable range. Each CRF will be printed as a data listing with 100% QC of pre-defined critical data fields against the hard copy CRF in addition, a ****% sampling of the patient data will undergo quality control for l00% of the data fields, prior to declaration of a clean database. The processes and outcomes of these QC audits will be documented, with audit findings corrected within the timeframe identified with the Data Management Plan. Omnicare CR supports the plan for transfer of clean data to give both Sponsor and the Omnicare Biometrics Group an opportunity to review clean data periodically, ensuring that guidelines are complete and accurate, and that the data is represented correctly in preparation for the analysis.

Omnicare CR believes that these, strategies will ensure;

 

 

Cleaner cases and data.

 

 

Minimises queries.

 

 

Timely resolution of study and site issues.

 

 

Cohesiveness between Sponsor Omnicare CR and the study site.

The Project Leader will act as a single point of contact for Sponsor during the course of this study. The Project Leader is responsible for the generation of detailed project timelines and ensure that that these milestones are met. The Project Leader will provide on-going project status reports as agreed with Sponsor and will proactively identify and resolve critical project issues. The Project Leader is also responsible for managing the project budget and addressing all out-of-scope items with Sponsor.

In addition, as the Project Leader is acting in a dual role, this person will also be responsible for usual Biometrics Team Leader activities that are discussed later in this section.

SOPs

All services outsources will be performed in accordance with Omnicare CR’s SOPs following review and approval by Sponsor, unless specified otherwise.

Study Documents and CRF Return

Omnicare CR will return all study documents in accordance with Omnicare CR’s SOP. This usually occurs within three months of study completion. The CRFs are reviewed and reconciled against the CRF tracker from Omnicare CR’s Clinical Data Management Department. Each CRF is reviewed for completeness and accuracy of filing. A CRF transfer form is completed listing the number of pages for each individual CRF returned.

Due to the nature of the deliverables for this Project, Omnicare CR has assumed a Clinical Data Manager (CDM) will be assigned to this project for almost **** days per month for just over **** months. The CDM will provide oversight of the data management team as well as ensure that all deliverables are achieved.

On a continual basis, the Omnicare CR team, Project Leader/Biostatistics Team Leader, the Clinical Data Manager and the Lead Clinical Data Analyst will work in concert, will evaluate the number and type of queries being generated by Clinical Data Management, in order to proactively manage the retrieval of quality data and site release status. Plans will be implemented to inspect the data for trends and issues in order to suggest focused training at both the project team and the site levels. This will commence as soon as the first CRF pages are submitted in order to proactively resolve data issues.

It is Omnicare CR’s policy to perform a quality control (QC) of the final database to ensure the error rate is within an acceptable range. Each CRF will be printed as a data listing with 100% QC of pre-defined critical data fields against the hard-copy CRF. In addition, a ****% sampling of the patient data will undergo quality control for 100% of the data fields, prior to declaration of a clean database. The processes and outcomes of these QC audits will be documented, with audit findings corrected within the timeframe identified with the Data Management Plan. Omnicare CR supports the plan for transfer of clean data to give both Sponsor and the Omnicare Biometrics Group an opportunity to review clean data periodically, ensuring that guidelines are complete and accurate, and that the data is represented correctly in preparation for the analysis.

Omnicare CR believes that these strategies will ensure:

 

 

Cleaner cases and data.

 

 

Minimises queries.

 

 

Timely resolution of study and site issues.

 

 

Cohesiveness between Sponsor, Omnicare CR and the study site.

 

 

On-time delivery of final clean clinical study database.

 

 

No surprises when preparing for data analysis.

Data Management Plan

The Clinical Data Manager will develop the Data Management Plan. The Data Management Plan will include descriptions of the following Data Management activities:

 

 

Project data flow

 

 

Database development overview

 

 

Edit specifications

 

 

Data entry guidelines

 

 

Data handling guidelines

 

 

Study assumptions (Level 1)

 

 

SAE reconciliation process

 

 

External data load procedures / External Data Cleaning parameters / Discrepancy identification flow

 

 

Dictionary coding guidelines and processes

 

 

Database closure procedures

Prior to the start of Data Management activities, the Data Management Plan and edit specifications must be agreed to and signed by the Omnicare CR designee and Sponsor representative. The agreement to all data handling rules will ensure an accurate and timely final database lock leading to a successful data analysis. It is assumed that all portions of the Data Management Plan related to any specific task will be agreed upon prior to the start of those activities.

Data Tracking and Data Entry

The dual data entry strategy will be utilised for numeric and/or text fields. Data will be entered by one member of the data entry staff and re-entered on-line by a second member of the staff. CRF data for screen failure patients will be tracked and entered into the database but will not be cleaned.

All CRF and ancillary data received from the investigative sites are logged into a tracking database on a page-by-page basis. Each page is identified by type of page and date received. Working copies will be maintained in Clinical Data Management and used for any annotations during processing and cleaning. All original (white) CRF pages will be archived by the Sponsor prior to the working copies being sent to Omnicare CR.

Data Review and Query Processing

Following the data handling rules and edits specifications listed in the Data Management Plan, the Lead CDA will be responsible for:

 

 

Reviewing the CRF data for obvious corrections and potential queries via the electronic Edit checks and the Manual review checks listed in the Data Management Plan

 

 

Applying any agreed upon self evident corrections or study assumptions

 

 

Transmitting queries to investigative sites via monitors

Working with the Clinical Data Manager to ensure all Data Clarification Forms (DCFs) are signed by the investigator and received in house via fax or mail.

On a continual basis, the Clinical Data Manager will evaluate the number and type of queries being generated by Clinical Data Management, in order to proactively manage the retrieval of quality data on these studies. The team will frequently inspect the data for trends and identification of issues, providing feedback to both the project team and the site. This will begin as soon as sufficient CRF pages are received to identify the trends.

Reconciliation of Safety and Clinical Database

Omnicare CR assumes a total of **** SAEs for this project. A total of **** (****) Adverse Event (AE) qualifiers will be reconciled. Omnicare CR’s Clinical Data Manager will update with the DCF responses and inform Sponsor of the changes.

D. Biometrics

Statistical Analysis Plan

Omnicare CR will develop a statistical analysis plan, including operational definition of endpoints to be analysed, definition of patient subsets (evaluable and intent-to-treat), visit windows, rules for data handling, and a detailed description of statistical methodology.

If Sponsor has a standard statistical analysis plan template then this can be used instead. Omnicare CR has budgeted for one Sponsor review and one revision.

Design of Table Shells (Mocks)

The statistical plan will include a set of formatted shells for all data displays (data listings, summary tables and graphics) planned for each study. If formatted data displays are not required, a detailed table of contents of SAS generated data displays will be included.

Tables, Listings and Graph Programming

Omnicare CR will perform the programming and will validate the following tables, listings and figures/ graphs:

Database Transfer

Omnicare CR assumes **** standard database transfer that will be submitted to Sponsor in the form of SAS datasets.

Lab Samples

Lab samples are being analysed centrally at QML in Australia.

E. Clinical Writing

Clinical Study Report

The integrated clinical and statistical summary will be prepared in accordance with ICH guidelines on the “Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports”, appropriate agency regulations, and Omnicare CR’s SOPs and clinical study report format. A draft clinical report will be generated within **** (****) weeks after receipt of source material and final summary tables and patient data listings.

The designated Omnicare CR clinical writers will liaise closely with the statistician and other team members. All clinical documents will receive two levels of quality control reviews before they are released. There will be a QC review by an independent clinical writer for accuracy and consistency, and a review by the writing manager for accuracy, client format consistency, and appropriate regulatory and clinical perspective. The first draft will then be provided to the Sponsor for review.

The second draft clinical study report will be produced after receipt of one set of collated comments from the Sponsor. It is our experience at Omnicare CR that this can be facilitated, more speedily, by ****. The second draft will be reviewed within the Clinical Writing Department at Omnicare CR to ensure that all Sponsor comments are addressed and that all changes are consistent with the supporting data. Following the Sponsor’s second review, minor revisions will be made and the report finalised.

Omnicare CR Biometrics will provide up to **** tables, **** listings and **** figures that will be summarised in the clinical study report.

This fee includes **** major and **** minor revision. One major revision of the draft report is considered to be up to **** (****) days of requested changes and a minor revision is up to **** (****) day of requested changes. Patient narratives will be drafted from final patient data listings. Omnicare CR Clinical Writing will prepare patient narratives for SAEs and discontinuations due to adverse events based upon a $**** per narrative fee. This fee does not include the collation or compilation of clinical study report appendices.

Clinical Grants Administration

Omnicare CR’s Investigator Grant staff will administer the clinical grant payments to the site. Included in their responsibilities are following:

 

   

Processing financials records for all of the patients in the study

 

   

Issue initial and interim payments for each investigator

 

   

Reconciling all payments to each of the investigators prior to final payments

 

   

Tracking account administration with Omnicare CR’s finance group

 

   

Maintaining IRS W-9 forms and all relevant and government reports

 

   

Reporting excess grants from sites at study end

Activities included in Clinical Grants Administration include the following:

Investigator Grant Start-Up Administration

Investigator Grant Start up Administration includes two activities: Contract Review which includes protocol/contract evaluation, investigator/site budget drafting, and telephone contact with the investigator and Grant Set-up which involves evaluating and entering site specific information. Confirm with the site representative(s) the correct name of the payee and that the site representative(s) understand how payments will be made. Identify correct payee by verifying contract information with IRS W-9 and site profile, follow-up calls and correspondence may be needed to clarify discrepancies. Set-up directories, site, and study specific spreadsheets to perform the tracking payments/invoices to the sites. Set up binders/files for hard copy files of site profiles and order checks (i.e. in addition to setting up an account for each payee).

Grant Management

Grant Management includes review-and verification of source payment tracking data, data entry, and tracking and follow-up clarification with the Project Management staff and site contacts/site communications, managing ongoing investigator inquiries regarding payments and follow-up. Grant Management occurs after the site “set up” until **** days after final payment (note: actuals will be billed). Grant Management also includes determining when grant payments are due per contract (i.e. site payment status), re-designing tracking spreadsheets as study parameters change, reconciling tracking logs with general ledger, and making adjustments from previous payment cycle and at study completion. Also includes re-issuing checks as needed (due to sites not cashing or lost checks), completing Sponsor specific reconciliation (as needed) and completing a final reconciliation of all payments made throughout the study.

The following are the types of ongoing payments which are required/performed during the course of a clinical trial: multiple IRB payments/fees (for initial & amendment submissions), patient enrollments (i.e. payments based on completed CRFs, visits or procedures performed and may include, coordinator fees, and investigator fees). Other types of separate payments include screen failure payments, incentive fee payments, specialized equipment payments, specialized study specific supply payments, and sub-study payments.

In addition, participating sites will be analyzed with Project Managers for the future enrollment to determine grant payment projections. Time will be allocated to complete the grant payment reconciliation process with Omnicare CR’s business administration office

Draft Informed Consent Review

The Omnicare CR Project Management Team will review the draft of the Informed Consent and will evaluate whether it is in accordance with IRB and Ethic committee requirements. The Project Management Team will provide feedback to Sponsor as required.

B. Clinical Trial Initiation

Setup & Maintenance of Study Master File

Omnicare CR will establish and maintain the Study Master File in accordance with Omnicare CR’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The study wide, individual investigator files, and patient CRFs will be maintained in a locked, limited access, controlled file room.

Investigator Document Plan

An Investigator Document Plan will be developed for the Sponsor. The purpose of the Investigator Document Plan is to define the project-specific review criteria for essential documents, the investigational product shipment approval procedure, the investigator site binder content and essential document file maintenance.

Investigator Essential Document Management-Regulatory Document Collection

Once Sponsor has signed the Investigator Documentation Plan, essential document packages, with letters of instruction, will be mailed to qualified investigative sites. Document collection will cover all criteria required under the principles of Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and International Committee for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, as well as Omnicare CR SOPs.

Omnicare CR will track the retrieval of documents on an ongoing basis and provide updates to Sponsor as requested. The fee for essential document collection, processing, and tracking is based upon the number of sites required for the Project. All sites that drop from the study for any reason will be billed based on percentage of work completed prior to notification of the drop. A submission ready regulatory document package for each investigator will be forwarded to Omnicare CR Regulatory prior to drug shipment and site initiations. Omnicare CR Regulatory will review the packages.

Once all essential documents and approvals are received, the essential documents are copied and an Investigator Site File is created. An Investigator Site File Binder will be sent to each investigator.

IRB Submissions

Omnicare CR will work with investigational sites, Sponsor and the IRBs to obtain regulatory approval for sites participating in this study. Omnicare CR will submit to the Central IRB on behalf of those sites using the Central IRB.

Protocol Amendments and IND Safety Reports and Investigator Brochure Updates

Protocol amendments will be billed at an additional processing fee. IND safety reports and revised Investigator Brochures will be sent to sites at an additional fee.

Regulatory Document Renewals and Updates — Annual Site Maintenance

Throughout the study, Omnicare CR will collect updated essential documents. The updating of essential documents (medical licenses, lab certifications, and changes to FDA form 1572 fee will be based on the site’s date of drug shipment through the site’s first IRB re-approval date. For studies lasting greater than one year, the annual renewal and update fee will be charged based on the site’s subsequent IRB re-approval dates.

Investigator Agreement Negotiation

Omnicare CR will be responsible for the following activities related to negotiating the investigator agreements:

 

   

Create all investigator agreement templates and patients budget template with the Sponsor

 

   

When possible, set up pre approved alternative language and budget parameters in anticipation of site negotiation

 

   

Negotiate all investigator agreements that satisfy Sponsor requirements on behalf of the Sponsor

 

   

Incorporate changes using pre-approved alternative parameters and if changes are outside parameters and secure approval by the Sponsor

 

   

Obtain signatures from investigators, institutions, facilities, site management organizations on all investigator agreements as needed

 

   

Collect IRS Form W9 and payment information sheets from sites

 

   

Track documentation and communication between the sites, Omnicare CR Project Management and the Sponsor.

Agreement Negotiation for Institutional Sites

Omnicare CR will also be responsible for the above activities related to negotiating the investigator agreements for academic medical centers and large hospitals. Negotiation of investigator agreements for these types of sites tends to be very involved due to legal staff at these institutional sites reviewing and negotiating the investigator agreements.

Investigator Agreement Amendments

Protocol and study amendments, which require investigator agreement revisions, amendments and/or re-negotiation, will be billed as needed at an additional processing fee per unit. (See budget.)

Facility Letters and other Investigator Notices

Facility letters are shortened versions of the investigator agreements intended to apprise the facilities where study procedures are going to be performed that a study is taking place on their premises. A facility letter also outlines duties and obligations of the facility during the course of the study. Facility letters are used when investigators have privileges at one Institution where

 

 

**** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Page 4


most of the study procedures are performed and grant payments are sent but some other procedures will occur at another facility. Facility letters are also common when investigators are affiliated with SMOs. If an SMO is involved and the Institution refuses to be apart of the main agreement, the facility where the study will be performed will accept and sign the facility letter. Facility letters are billed as noted in the budget. Facility letters are created, negotiated, and tracked like investigator agreements.

Examples of miscellaneous investigator notices and documentation are: termination letters, transfer letters, or any notices related to the Protocol that affects the agreements. Notices without any negotiation and without site signature involved will be billed as noted in the budget. These notices involve drafting the template, tailoring the templates for each site, preparing them for delivery, and sending to the sites. If additional work is required such as follow-up or negotiation these will be billed at the amendment letter rate per unit.

Letters of Indemnification

Letters of Indemnification are often required by sites to be on Sponsor letterhead and signed by the Sponsor outlining how they will be indemnified and what they are indemnifying for during the course of a study. The letters of indemnification are negotiated and issued as needed and site and Sponsor signature is obtained. Letters of Indemnification are created, negotiated and tracked like investigator agreements.

Vendor Service Agreements

Vendor Agreements are separate agreements between a vendor and Omnicare CR on behalf of the Sponsor. Vendor agreement terms and conditions are negotiated separately from investigator agreements and related documents.

Project Team Training

Omnicare CR, in conjunction with the Sponsor, will provide specific therapeutic area training and orientation to the protocol and the CRF prior to study initiation and on an ongoing basis. This training will be designed to ensure that all Team members are familiar with the Project requirements and their role within the Team.

Investigator Grant Start-up Administration

Investigator Grant Start up Administration includes two activities: Contract Review which includes protocol/contract evaluation, investigator/site budget drafting, and telephone contact with the investigator and Grant Set-up which involves evaluating and entering site specific information. Confirm with the site representative(s) the correct name of the payee and that the site representative(s) understand how payments will be made. Identify correct payee by verifying contract information with IRS W-9 and site profile; follow-up calls and correspondence may be needed to clarify discrepancies. Set-up directories, site, and study specific spreadsheets to perform the tracking payments/invoices to the sites. Set up binders/files for hard copy files of site profiles and order checks (i.e. in addition to setting up an account for each payee).

Grant Management

Grant Management includes review and verification of source payment tracking data, data entry, and tracking and follow-up clarification with the Project Management staff and site contacts/site communications, managing ongoing investigator inquiries regarding payments and follow-up. Grant Management occurs after the site “set up” until 60 days after final payment (note: actuals will be billed). Grant Management also includes determining when grant payments are due per contract (i.e. site payment status), re-designing tracking spreadsheets as study parameters change, reconciling tracking logs with general ledger, and making adjustments from previous payment cycle and at study completion. Also includes re-issuing checks as needed (due to sites not cashing or lost checks), completing Sponsor specific reconciliation (as needed) and completing a final reconciliation of all payments made throughout the study.

The following are the types of ongoing payments which are required/performed during the course of a clinical trial: multiple IRD payments/fees (for initial & amendment submissions), patient enrollments (i.e. payments based on completed CRFs, visits or procedures performed and may include, coordinator fees, and investigator fees). Other types of separate payments include screen failure payments, incentive fee payments, specialized equipment payments, specialized study specific supply payments, and sub-study payments.

In addition, participating sites will be analyzed with Project Managers for the future enrollment to determine grant payment projections. Time will be allocated to complete the grant payment reconciliation process with Omnicare CR’s business administration office.

Payments

As payments are processed the following are generated: payment/check request form, payment detail and letters (by Sponsor request) to accompany checks. In addition, Omnicare CR will update site-specific logs and study-specific summary logs as well as the log for tracking payments sent to sites. The payment process includes mailing and photocopying expenses.

Investigator grants, with parameters defined by the Sponsor, will be passed through at cost. Invoices submitted for payment to Sponsor for estimated grant funds will be payable upon the receipt of the invoice. Any remaining funds will be carried forward to the next payment cycle and additional invoices will be generated as needed. A grant administration fee will be applied, based on the number of sites and payments to be managed throughout the duration of the study.

Page 11


Site Refund Checks

Additional costs may be incurred if the Sponsor requests site refunds. Letter will be sent to sites that do not enroll patients in a study, etc. A letter from Investigator Grants is generated to the site requesting the return of funds for a stated reason. This is sent via preferred carrier or by certified mail. Follow up with the site contact will occur up to three times. Regardless of the outcome, the service will be considered rendered if either of the following occurs. (1) A refund is received, (2) a letter and 3 follow up calls have been completed or (3) an agreement is reached between the Sponsor and the principal investigator.

If the site objects to refunding the monies, the site sends a detailed letter stating reasonable start up costs. A copy of the letter is forwarded to the Project Manager and or Sponsor to determine the outcome and action needed. Otherwise, the site returns a check payable to Omnicare CR for the amount stated in the refund letter. The check is returned to Investigator Grants and then is forwarded to Account Receivable Department to be deposited and credited to the study. Refund service fees are not calculated in advance as part of any grant administration budget item.

D. Safety and Medical

Medical Monitoring (during business hours)

The medical aspects of The Sponsor’s clinical program will be overseen by one of Omnicare CR’s staff physicians who will be assigned to the study during business hours as the Project’s Medical Monitor.

Page 14


Prior to the start of Data Management activities, the Data Management Plan and edit specifications must be agreed to and signed by the Omnicare CR designee and Sponsor representative. It is expected that the Sponsor will respond to requests for comments (on draft documents) or approval (on final documents) within two (2) weeks of receipt of document. The agreement to all data handling rules will ensure an accurate and timely final database lock leading to a successful data analysis. It is assumed that all portions of the Data Management Plan related to any specific task will be agreed upon prior to the start of those activities.

CRF Design and CRF Completion Guidelines

Upon approval of a final protocol by the Sponsor, a draft CRF to record pertinent study data will be prepared with input from Omnicare CR’s Data Management, Project Management, and Biometrics. A draft document / CRF is provided to Sponsor for review. It is expected that the Sponsor will respond to requests for comments (on drafts documents) or approval (on final documents) within two (2) weeks of receipt of documents. Upon receipt of the final draft comments, the final printable version of the CRF is prepared and provided to Sponsor for approval signature. Sponsor will be provided with either “camera-ready” CRFs for printing or with ready-to-use multicopy carbonless forms.

Any requests for Clinical Data Management to supply the CRF Completion Guidelines will follow the same process. These guidelines need to be finalized prior to the start of monitoring, preferably prior to the investigator meeting.

Database Creation and Testing

Omnicare CR’s Data Management Department uses Oracle Clinical for a standardized, validated approach to database design, edit development, data collection and storage. Several benefits for using this approach include an integrated query system directly linked to the clinical database. Omnicare CR’s Programming group will develop data entry screens using Oracle Clinical® version 4.5 software running on Solaris Unix. The data entry screens (i.e. CRF data module designs) will mimic the flow of the CRF, thereby improving the ease and integrity of the data entry process.

Database creation will be initiated upon the receipt of the final Case Report Form.

A series of standard metric reports will be provided to the Project Team and the Sponsor. These standard CRF and query status reports are listed in Section “Reports.” Omnicare CR provides flexible and a ‘can do’ customer service approach to all aspects of Omnicare CR’s work and can create customized Sponsor reports if requested.

Data Tracking and Data Entry

The dual data entry strategy will be utilized for numeric and/or text fields. Data will be entered by one member of the data entry staff and re-entered on-line by a second member of the staff. Omnicare CR assumes the CRFs for screen failure patients will not be received in-house, unless otherwise specified.

Page 15


All CRF and ancillary data received from the investigative sites are logged into a tracking database on a page-by-page basis. Each page is identified by type of page and date received. Working copies will be maintained in Clinical Data Management and used for any annotations during processing and cleaning as appropriate. All original (white) CRF and query pages will be immediately sent for filing in the Project Master File.

Data Review and Query Processing

Following the data handling rules and edits specifications listed in the Data Management Plan, the Clinical Data Analyst team will be responsible for:

 

   

Reviewing the CRF data for obvious corrections and potential queries via the electronic Edit checks and the Manual review checks listed in the Data Management Plan

 

   

Applying any agreed upon self evident corrections or study assumptions

 

   

Transmitting queries to investigative sites with a copy forwarded to Project Management

 

   

Logging queries (issued and resolved) into Oracle Clinical Discrepancy Management System

 

   

Working with the Clinical Trials Manager to ensure all Data Clarification Forms (DCFs) are signed by the investigator and received in house via fax or mail.

On a continual basis, Clinical Trial Manager and the Clinical Data Manager working together will evaluate the number and type of queries being generated by Clinical Data Management, in order to proactively manage the retrieval of quality data on these studies. The team will frequently inspect the data for trends and identification of issues, providing feedback to both the Project Team and the site. This will begin as soon as sufficient CRF pages are received to identify the trends.

Quality Control Review of the Database

It is Omnicare CR’s policy to perform a QC of the final database ensuring the error rate is within an acceptable range. Each CRF will be printed as a data listing with 100% QC of adverse events and the protocol identified primary efficacy parameters against the hard-copy CRF. Also, a random sample subset of the patients will under go a 100% QC of all data points vs. the CRFs, to ensure the estimate of the error rate for the database is within acceptable limits prior to declaration of clean database. The processes and outcomes of these QC procedures will be documented, with the findings corrected within the timeframe identified within the Data Management Plan. Omnicare CR believes that these strategies will ensure the following results with respect to these studies:

 

   

Quality data

 

   

On-time delivery of Final Clean Clinical Study Databases

 

   

No surprises when preparing for data analysis

Edit Checks

The edit specifications identified in the Data Management Plan require Sponsor approval prior to the initiation of the programming of the edit checks. It is Omnicare CR’s goal and in the Project’s best interest to have all edits programmed and tested prior to any CRF data being submitted to Data Management. This will ensure there are no delays in reviewing and querying

the data. Omnicare CR suggests a periodic review of the edit specifications and data review guidelines to ensure that the rules and edit checks meet the Project needs. It is expected that the Sponsor will respond to requests for comments (on draft documents) or approval (on final documents) within two (2) weeks of receipt of documents. The Sponsor will be billed on the actual number of edit checks defined and approved by the Sponsor.

Dictionary Coding

Omnicare CR is proficient in coding to both MedDRA and the WHO-Drug dictionaries. Additional dictionaries can also be accommodated.

Omnicare CR Clinical Data Management will:

 

   

Design and maintain the clinical database with Omnicare CR’s current version (at time of database build) of MedDRA for coding Adverse Events and Medical History terms, and WHO-Drug for coding Medications

 

   

Utilize standard coding conventions as listed in the Data Management Plan for the mapping procedures. If Sponsor requires specific coding guidelines they must be provided prior to the start of the coding work and will be included in the Data Management Plan

 

   

Utilize an automated process using Oracle TMS to map literal text to the corresponding term in the dictionary

 

   

Research, code and review unmapped terms with a dedicated team

The Dictionary team will provide standard reports of all automated and manually coded terms/medications for periodic review and to Sponsor at soft lock of the database. Sponsor feedback and final approval is requested prior to hard lock of the database.

Sponsor is required to have a MedDRA license prior to receipt of any MedDRA coded terms.

Sponsor is required to have a WHO-Drug license prior to receipt of any WHO-Drug coded medications.

Dictionary Mapping of the WHO-Drug ATC Level

Omnicare CR will map all medications to the WHO-Drug ATC level to the matching medication indication reported on the CRF, utilizing both the medication indication and medication route.

Reconciliation of the Safety and Clinical Database

On a monthly basis (weekly during final month), Omnicare CR will receive a cumulative SAE listing of the Omnicare CR Safety database to compare against the clinical database. The qualifiers identified in the Data Management Plan will be reconciled, and a site query will be generated in order to resolve discrepancies. Clinical Data Management will update Omnicare CR’s Safety department with the DCF responses and Safety will update Sponsor on the changes.

Page 17


Reports

The standard Omnicare CR CRF and DCF reports will be provided to Sponsor and Omnicare CR’s Clinical Trial Manager on a monthly basis and more frequently approaching a database lock.

The standard reports are as follows:

 

   

Cumulative CRF / DCF Status

 

   

Cumulative CRFs by Site

 

   

Outstanding DCFs by Site

 

   

Resolved DCFs by Site

 

   

Weekly Metrics: Data Processing

Nonstandard reports can be accommodated at an additional per diem cost. This would include reports for data metrics, data quality, and ad hoc data reports requested by the Sponsor.

Standard Data Transfers

At the conclusion of the study, Omnicare CR will transfer the Project database to Sponsor in standard Omnicare CR SAS data sets using Omnicare CR standard naming conventions and format. Omnicare CR recommends an initial test transfer, an interim transfer when 50% of patients are entered, and a final transfer when 100% of patients have been entered and the database is soft locked and then again at hard-lock.

Customized data transfers, or interim data closures and transfers can be accommodated on request at an additional fee.

Protocol Deviation Log Load

Omnicare CR will develop an additional Oracle Clinical module in order to load Sponsor’s log of protocol deviations into the clinical database. This includes development of the DCM/DCI module, loading the spreadsheet database, and quality control of received data.

F. Biometrics Analysis

Biometrics Team Manager

Omnicare CR recognizes that statistical and programmatic services are critical to Sponsor achieving timelines and objectives for the Project. All of Omnicare CR’s biostatisticians are Master’s or Ph.D. level prepared, with an average of **** (****) years of ****, ****, or **** experience. Both the biostatistician and lead programmer assigned to Sponsor’s Project will meet with you during Project initiation and throughout the clinical phase, and will serve as Sponsor’s main point of contact for technical communications for the duration of the study. The frequency of communication will be determined at the kick off meeting, at a minimum communication should be scheduled for every other or every week depending on the complexity of the deliverables. In addition Omnicare CR Biometrics Senior Management meet together on a weekly basis to review staffing needs and forecasting. At this weekly meeting

Page 18


management communicates with individual Project Team leaders to monitor the success factor of the team.

In addition, the Biometrics Team Leader will serve as local liaison to the Sponsor for technical issues, as the main point of contact for both clinical data management and biometrics services.

Project Data Setup

The primary software product used for statistical analysis is SAS Version 8 or higher. SAS version 6 is available as a prior version. Omnicare CR’s standard SAS macros are globally accessible, validated according to current software development practices and Omnicare CR SOPs, and are compliant with FDA industry guidance documents. Every programming project environment is created with both a development and production area. Version control software tracks all changes made to production files once files are ‘checked in’ from the development environment. Prior to programming actual data displays (data listings, summary tables and graphics), Omnicare CR will perform the following:

 

   

Initialize an internal Quality Control project tracking system which tracks the status of the program, the validation of the program output, the owners of the files and the dates that the events were completed

 

   

Customize project specific macros and header files for program development

 

   

Create a cross reference file for data displays to SAS program files

 

   

Review of client programming style guidelines if applicable and incorporate into programming specifications if applicable

 

   

Hold at least one internal kick-off meeting for the Biometrics team members

After approval of the prototype data display formats by Sponsor and the Omnicare CR Project Team, the programming staff will develop the programs required to generate each data display. Any changes to data display formats after approval and programming initiation could result in additional charges.

Statistical Plan

A statistical analysis plan, including operational definition of endpoints to be analyzed, definition of patient subsets (evaluable and intent-to-treat), visit windows, rules for data handling, and a detailed description of statistical methodology, will be prepared for each study. By default the plan follows Omnicare CR SOP’s which incorporate all ICH and FDA guidance. If the Sponsor has a standard statistical analysis plan template then this can be used instead. This plan will be submitted to Sponsor for review and approval prior to closing the database for analysis or after receiving the final protocol and CRF if Sponsor is providing the database. It is expected that the Sponsor will respond to requests for comments (on draft documents) or approval (on final documents) within two (2) weeks of receipt of documents.

Page 19


Sample Size/Power Determination

Omnicare CR will estimate the required sample size according to the study design specified in the protocol and clinical assumptions of effect size and variability provided by Sponsor. In cases where clinical assumptions are not available or are not considered reliable, power curves will be provided for various scenarios for review by Sponsor.

Randomization Schedule

The Project statistician will generate a randomization schedule according to the study design specified in the protocol. Electronic copies of the randomization will be created for loading into the clinical database at the time of database closure. Electronic and paper copies of the randomization are stored in a secured location in accordance with Omnicare CR SOPs. Fees include verification and review by a senior biostatistician.

Design of Table Shells (Mocks)

The statistical plan will include a set of formatted shells for all data displays (data listings, summary tables and graphics) planned for the study, which will be prepared with input from the Clinical Writing Department. If formatted data displays are not required, a detailed table of contents of SAS generated data displays will be included.

Programming/QC of Data Displays

The process to programming actual data displays (data listings, summary tables and graphics) at Omnicare CR is methodical and stepwise in description.

The process begins with the rules and requirements stated in the Protocol, Statistical Analysis Plan and Mock Data Displays. The annotated mocks drive the specifications for derived datasets definitions document, the programming of those datasets and the development and production of the data displays. The derived dataset specifications document follows the format presented by the FDA guidance concerning regulatory submissions in electronic format. Derived dataset structures can be created to client specifications. If specifications are not provided then programming defaults to CDISC standard structures in SAS transport file format. As the mocks is the specification for all programming output, any changes to data display formats or raw database after approval and programming initiation could result in additional charges.

The biometrics staff will use a combination of independent programming, hand tabulations from supporting listings, and programming verification to ensure the accuracy and completeness of tables, listings, and statistical results. Products developed in SAS are validated for accuracy through a double programming process and these processes are outlined in the departmental SOPs and guidelines. The status of a SAS program’s development is monitored through an internal tracking system which stores the individuals involved with a given product, comments for program and output issues, when the programmed files are ready for QC and when the person validating the results states that the product has passed QC. All report data displays will be verified for accuracy and internal consistency among data displays. A quality control binder, including the quality control strategy for each data display and audit trail, will be included in the Project file.

Programmatic Evaluability/Outcome

Patient evaluability criteria and relevant algorithms will be developed for the study by Omnicare CR and presented to Sponsor for review and approval. These algorithms will be programmed using SAS to identify evaluable patients. Biostatisticians will verify the accuracy of the output with independent programming and review of individual patient data. Final decisions regarding patient evaluability will require approval by the Sponsor; patient evaluability is performed once for each patient in the study.

Data listings for each patient’s evaluability status and supporting data will be prepared and submitted to Sponsor for classification prior to breaking the blind. Data classification meetings may be held either in person or via teleconference.

Statistical Analysis

Omnicare CR staff biostatisticians will perform statistical analysis, in accordance with the approved statistical analysis plan. The analysis includes verification of assumptions needed for statistical inference, determination of investigator-by-treatment interaction, and examination of outlying data points.

Statistical findings which may not be appropriate for the body of the clinical report (e.g., tests for interaction, data distribution issues, etc.), deviations from the planned analyses, and additional exploratory analyses will be included in a statistical appendix to the clinical report.

The Project statistician will also review the clinical report to ensure appropriate representation of statistical methodology and inference.

FDA Item 11

Additional data definition documentation for all derived datasets can be provided to support the FDA requirements for submitting to the agency. The file produced would be named define pdf matching the guidance titled Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format; New Drug Applications. Datasets are provided in SAS version 5-transport format.

Standard Data Transfer

At the conclusion of the study, Omnicare CR will transfer, the Project database to Sponsor in standard Omnicare CR SAS data sets using Omnicare CR standard naming conventions and format. Customized data transfers, or interim database closes and transfers, can be accommodated on request at an additional fee.

Data Safety Monitoring Board

A Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will be formed according to Omnicare CR’s operating procedures and will be solely responsible for evaluating the interim results of the study. One (1) organizational meeting and one (1) interim analysis evaluation meeting are planned.

Omnicare CR and Sponsor will jointly develop guidelines for membership of the DSMB, and for conduct of DSMB meeting to be documented in the DSMB Charter. The DSMB members will be recruited by Omnicare/Sponsor. Members of the DSMB will neither have previous involvement with Sponsor’s studies in this area, nor be currently involved in clinical trials of competing therapies.

The DSMB will have a written charter that will be produced by a Project Director which will define the responsibilities and will maintain records of all meetings. The written charter will also include a statistical appendix that will document the requirements and guidelines for analyzing and interpreting the interim safety results.

Omnicare CR’s biometrics team will prepare mock data displays specific to the DSMB charter. A senior statistician, otherwise unrelated to the study, will be responsible for the development of the data displays defined by the DSMB to ensure interim data accuracy and summaries are produced. These data displays will be programmed and validated by biometrics staff. The validation will be performed through a combination of individual patient data review and independent programming.

When the blind is ready to be broken, the DSMB statistician will perform the final run of the DSMB data displays and prepare for the DSMB.

For each DSMB meeting, the database will be extracted and the data listings and summary tables will be rerun. If the DSMB requests data clarification or further information, Omnicare CR will re-extract the data and rerun the listings and tables on the new data.

G. Clinical Writing

Clinical Study Report — Phase II/III

The Clinical Writing Department has experience in the production of integrated statistical and clinical study reports covering a wide range of therapeutic areas. It will be the responsibility of the assigned Clinical Writer to ensure delivery of an integrated statistical and clinical study report for this program. The integrated clinical and statistical summary will be prepared in accordance with ICH guidelines on the “Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports”, appropriate agency regulations, and Omnicare CR’s SOPs and clinical study report format. A draft clinical report will be generated within **** (****) weeks after receipt of source material and final summary tables and patient data listings.

The designated Omnicare CR clinical writers will liaise closely with the statistician and other team members. All clinical documents will receive, two levels of quality control reviews before they are released. There will be a QC review by an independent clinical writer for accuracy and consistency, and a review by the writing manager for accuracy, client format consistency, and appropriate regulatory and clinical perspective. The first draft will then be provided to the Sponsor for review.

The second draft clinical study report will be produced after receipt of one set of collated comments from the Sponsor. It is Omnicare CR’s experience at Omnicare CR that this can be facilitated, more speedily, by holding a draft review meeting (optional) between a Sponsor representative and the Omnicare CR clinical writer. The second draft will be reviewed within the Clinical Writing Department at Omnicare CR to ensure that all Sponsor comments are addressed and that all changes are consistent with the supporting data. Following the Sponsor’s second review, minor revisions will be made and the report finalized.

Omnicare CR Biometrics will provide up to **** tables and **** listings that will be summarized in the clinical study report. This fee includes **** major and **** minor revision. **** major revision of the draft report is considered to be up to **** (****) days of requested changes and a minor revision is up to **** (****) day of requested changes. Patient narratives will be drafted from final patient data listings. Omnicare CR Writing will prepare patient narratives for SAEs and, discontinuations due to adverse events based upon a $**** per narrative fee. The fee for the study report does not include study report appendices (including TLs).

Clinical Writing Input to Statistical Analysis Plan

Omnicare CR’s Clinical Writing will review the draft statistical analysis plan and mock summary tables and data listings for consistency with the protocol and ICH guidelines for clinical study reports. Clinical Writing will provide feedback on the table design and format to facilitate the use of the data in the clinical study report.

H. Technology

Omnicare CR recognizes the importance of accurately tracking clinical study data and processes throughout the life of a study. Our secure clinical trial portal, OmnieView and OmnieTrack our clinical trial management system, allow study teams to communicate via a secure internet site, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from anywhere. Sponsors can view the progress of their study by going to one centralized location. Because all team members have access to the same portal, communications can be more-timely, trial progress is known more quickly, and centralization allows everyone to see the same current information. Examples of information available on OmnieView include trial progress reports and metrics., reference and training materials, newsletters and other communications, contact listings, templates/forms and lots more.

OmnieTrack is Omnicare CR’s global Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS), which provides the ability for study personnel to plan, track and control all aspects of the clinical trial process for the duration of a study. OmnieTrack utilizes “web-enabled” technology to enable dispersed sites and Omnicare CR locations to communicate in real time through a central “hub”, transcending time zones worldwide.

OmnieTrack includes process and workflow automation, which includes task notification, issues escalation, and comparative analysis between actual and projected data. It also has enhanced capabilities including electronic trip reports and automated study projections. Key features and functionality of OmnieTrack are,

 

   

Investigator Recruitment / Essential Document Tracking

 

   

Patient Enrollment (patient accrual) by site and by trial projected and actual

 

   

Monitoring Statue and Monitor Visit Scheduling

 

   

CRF pages ready for review at site (projected/actual), CRF pages collected as related to patient and monitoring visit schedules

 

   

Trip Reporting — electronic trip reports

OmnieTrack is able to provide you with ongoing, reliable and accurate information regarding specific studies via OmnieView and can deliver information to you in real time, summarized or detailed deliveries from the modules listed above. Status reports and trip report formats can be customized to meet your requirements (fees apply).

Omnicare CR works with each study team to assess what technologies and features should be used on a clinical trial to maximize the benefit of the solutions. Omnicare CR also works with sponsors to identify other technical requirements such as interfaces, secure connections, and customized reports. Fees are determined after the full requirements are known.

I. Regulatory Services

Filing and Reconciliation of CRFs in the Study Master File

After logging in Clinical Data Management, completed CRFs are transferred to the Study Master File. Fees reflect time required to verify CRF and ancillary pages received against the Clinical Data Management tracking log and filing of CRFs. The Sponsor will be billed for the actual number of pages filed.

Study Master File and CRF Return

Omnicare CR will return the Study Master File in hard copy format in accordance with Omnicare CR’s SOPs, within three (3) months of final study deliverable. A final review of the study wide and individual investigator files is completed by Project Management for completeness and accuracy. Sponsor will be billed for the actual number of sites returned.

Compilation of Appendices to Clinical Study Report

Omnicare CR has included cost to compile and collate the Clinical Study Report electronic to hard-copy appendices in accordance with ICH guidelines. It is assumed that the Clinical Study Report appendices without hyper links will be prepared. Deliverables include electronic-to-paper publishing, with all required formatting, utilizing a validated environment and formatting check. Hardcopies requested by the Sponsor can be provided for an additional charge. PostScript files will allow for subsequent printing needs of Sponsor (one CD-ROM). Publishing of the appendices with hyper links applied is available for an additional charge.

J. Clinical Quality Assurance

Independent CQA audits provide additional verification to Sponsor that all contracted processes and procedures have been followed. As part of Omnicare CR’s contracted service, a CQA Project Leader will attend Omnicare CR and Sponsor Project Team meetings, conduct and manage the audit program, and proactively address any issues that may arise during the clinical development program.

In addition to contracted audits, CQA may, at its discretion, audit any aspect of a clinical trial. As these are internal audits intended to support the overall quality of Omnicare CR’s work, reports generated as a result of the audits are submitted to the management of Omnicare CR. Although the audit report is not provided to the Sponsor, CQA will inform Sponsor of any observations that affect the integrity of the study. CQA also provides an Audit Certificate for inclusion in the Project Master File.

An Executive Summary will be generated at the end of each study, documenting the quality status over the complete duration of the study. The Executive Summary will summarize all of the pertinent issues for all audits conducted in a concise, easy-to-read format. The findings will be listed by audit types and by categories and will be evaluated for their impact on the GCP compliance of the study. The Executive Summary also will document the corrective actions taken to achieve resolution of the findings.

Page 25


Together with the Executive Summary, a Summary Audit Certificate will be issued for each audit conducted during the study.

Quality Plan

The CQA Project Leader will develop a customized Project-specific Quality Plan in partnership with Sponsor. Ideally this contact person will be a CQA representative within Sponsor. The Quality Plan describes the approaches and methodology for the audits and as such, is a component of the Global Project Management Process (GPMP). The plan will include details such as the percentages of sites/patients/data to be audited, the timeline of audits, and the plan for generation of individual Audit Reports and Certificates. Sponsor will be requested to review and sign off on the plan and any necessary amendments to the original plan, prior to implementation.

Investigator Site Audits

Typically, **** percent (****%) of the sites in a project are selected for audit. In the case of multinational trials, one site should be audited in each country. Audits will typically be performed at sites with high enrollment of subjects to identify whether study site performance, site documentation and facilities are in compliance with regulatory obligations and the requirements of the protocol, SOPs and ICH GCP. Typically more than one site will be selected for audit in countries with larger numbers of sites. Other criteria may also be used for selection of sites to be audited, e.g. issues identified by monitors or other members of the Project Team.

Study site audits will include an audit of the “in-house” investigator files for each site to be visited, as well as the audit at the study site itself. On-site auditing activities include 100% review of essential documents, including all informed consent documents and serious adverse event reporting compliance. In addition, for approximately ****% of subjects at each study site, CRF data will be audited against source documents with an emphasis on critical efficacy and safety data; drug accountability will also be verified for these subjects.

Each audit will conclude with a debriefing session with the site’s study personnel. Critical or urgent issues will be discussed at this time and recommendations for improved compliance will be offered. Should any observations arise that affect the integrity of the study, the CQA auditor will immediately alert Sponsor’s representative and the Omnicare CR Project Leader.

Specifics will be defined in the Quality Plan. An Audit Report, which documents the audit results as well as suggestions for corrective actions, will be generated. Upon receipt and acceptance of the responses, the Audit Report along with written responses will be sent to Sponsor. The Audit Report will summarize all of the pertinent issues in a concise, easy-to-read format, and will also list the findings by categories. In addition, an Audit Certificate will be provided.

K. Clinical Supplies Management

General Service Description

Sponsor will provide study drug to Omnicare CR’s central dispensing pharmacy located in Perrysburg (Ohio). Sponsor will provide Omnicare CR with a MSDS and any special handling procedures for storage and distribution.

Upon approval of the proposal by Sponsor, Omnicare CR will assign a Study Drug Coordinator. The role of this Coordinator is to oversee the study drug management aspects of the project. The Coordinator’s responsibilities are to ensure that all cGMP/GCP requirements and all relevant local guidelines are followed for storage and distribution activities associated with the project.

Omnicare CR will be responsible for central storage, distribution to sites and Returned Drug Management, including drug destruction, of study drugs from all sites. Storage (assumed 4 months) and distribution of study drug to sites will be performed at cold store. Omnicare CR assumes up to **** shipments per site and an overall number of **** sites.

Ordering, Receipt and Inventory Setup

Clinical supplies and other project related supplies/material would be ordered and/or received by Omnicare CR. Upon receipt, all items will be inspected and transferred to Omnicare CR’s “Quarantine” area until released. Upon a visual inspection and paperwork release, drug product will be placed into inventory.

Storage for Distribution

Until shipment, clinical supplies will be stored in a segregated limited access area. Temperature and humidity are continuously monitored and recorded for the storage area. Products for this study will be stored in dedicated storage units or on designated shelves. The current inventory status of clinical supplies can be provided to Sponsor upon request during the study.

Distribution

A written request (i.e. fax) for shipment to clinical sties will be received from Sponsor or designee. Study Drug will be shipped to investigational sites by overnight courier. It is assumed that each investigational site will require up to **** shipments throughout the duration of the trial. It is Omnicare CR’s assumption that supplies to be distributed to investigational sites will be stored pre-kitted, require no additional preparation or assembly prior to shipment and that **** hour shipping notice will be given by Sponsor. A Shipping Note including an acknowledgement of receipt section will accompany each clinical supply shipment. Prior to distribution, each shipment will be QC checked and inventory records will be adjusted.

Returned Drug Management

Each site will return study drug back to Omnicare CR’s distribution facility. Upon receipt (assume one receipt per site), the returned study drug will be inspected and transferred to Omnicare CR’s rejected material area until released for destruction. Omnicare CR, will notify Sponsor before and after destruction of returned drug. Omnicare CR will document the receipt of each shipment from investigational sites. Returns from each site will be tracked and stored separately (at room temperature). The current inventory status of returned Study Drug can be provided to Sponsor, upon request, during the study.

Documentation/Quality Assurance and Project Management/General Study Drug Issues

Omnicare CR will generate, review and approve documentation to ensure compliance with cGMP/GCPs. All documentation will be filed in a project-specific pharmacy file. Upon Project completion, Omnicare CR will provide all original Study Drug Management Documentation associated with the receipt, storage, shipping and returns to Sponsor, unless arrangements are made with Sponsor to archive originals at Omnicare CR.

B. Payment Schedules

1. Invoicing Process for Service Fees

Omnicare CR maintains a project accounting system, whereby all direct project costs (Service Fees or Pass-Through Expenses) are coded by project.

An initial payment of US $**** (minus any Service Fee payments made under the letter of intent dated May 25, 2006) representing approximately **** percent (****%) of the estimated Service Fees, is due and payable upon execution of this Exhibit I. Subsequent payments shall be made monthly, based on Project progress and upon submission of an invoice to Sponsor by Omnicare CR. After receipt of the initial payment, the subsequent invoices shall be reduced by a prorated portion from the initial payment such that the initial payment is applied evenly over the remaining term of the Project. All payment shall be processed within **** days. If any payment of Service Fees or Pass-Through Expenses is late by more than **** (****) days, such payment shall be subject to a liquidated damages fee of ****% per month of the outstanding balance.

2. Pass-Through Expense Invoicing

Grant Payments — In order to ensure timely processing of investigator grant payments, Omnicare CR requires Sponsor to provide an up front initial payment representing ****% of the total study grant estimate or an amount that is sufficient to pay all initial site fees, whichever is greater. Site start up payments and fees are based on an estimate of the study specific contractual obligations to be negotiated with the sites and may include: advances, funds for advertising, pharmacy set up charges, local IRB fees and any other site related administrative start up fees. Payment of Sponsor funds is due upon execution of this Exhibit I. From that point forward, Omnicare CR will invoice **** (****) days in advance of grant payments due investigators based on Patient enrollment estimates.

Omnicare CR payment from Sponsor at least **** (****) days in advance of the actual payment to investigators. Payments to investigators will not be released until payments are received by Omnicare CR from Sponsor. Omnicare CR will to deposit payments from Sponsor into a bank account and shall draw upon such account to make the investigator payments. Any remaining funds in the account will be returned to the sponsor after the termination of the study, as soon as all contracted obligations to the investigators have been satisfied.

In the event payments from Sponsor are insufficient to cover the payments to investigators, Sponsor will promptly advance funds to Omnicare CR for the amount of grant payments required.

B. Project Tracking and Management Tools

1. Web-based Project Tracking

Omnicare CR recognizes the importance of accurately tracking clinical study data and processes, throughout the life of a study. As a result, Omnicare CR has continued to enhance its capabilities around managing clinical studies by building upon our existing solutions and is proud to present our most advanced clinical trial management solutions, including our secure clinical trial portal, Omni® View & Omni® Track, our clinical trial management system.

Omni® View allows study teams to communicate via a secure internet, site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from anywhere on the globe. Sponsors can view the progress of their clinical trial by going to one centralized location. Because all team members have access to the same portal, communications can be more-timely, trial progress is known more quickly, and centralization allows everyone to see the same current information. This avoids having to wait for the compilation of hard-copy information to distribute to a global audience or for deliveries in the mail. The amount of email communication will be significantly reduced.

Omnicare CR works with each study team to assess what technologies and features should be used on a clinical trial to maximize the benefit of the solutions. Omnicare CR also works with sponsors to identify other technical requirements such as interfaces, secure connections, and customized reports. Fees are determined after the full requirements are known.

Service fees were based on the assumption that only Sponsor will access Omni® View for the trials. Additional fees apply, if the sites should also access the system.

C. Project Meetings

Sponsor plans to have an Investigator Meeting, and it is assumed that there will be a project team training (in conjunction with the Investigator Meeting) meeting.

1. Project Team Training

Omnicare CR will rely on internal experts to provide specific therapeutic area training and orientation to the protocol and the CRF prior to study initiation and on an ongoing basis. This training will be designed to ensure that all Project Team members are familiar with the Project requirements and their role within the Project Team. It is anticipated that this meeting will be combined with the Investigator Meeting (see below)

Items discussed at these meetings will include, but will not be limited to:

 

 

Therapeutic area and clinical development background

 

 

Protocol and CRF

 

 

Discussion of therapeutic implications for the Project

 

 

Monitoring guidelines

 

 

Data handling rules from Data Management Plan

Page 11


D. Clinical Trial Initiation

1.      Site Selection/ Patient Recruitment Plan

It is assumed, that Peplin will be responsible for Site Screening and Identification, as well as for Site Recruitment.

Based on Omnicare CR’s previous experience with the type of sites enrolled in the planned study, no issues are expected to occur with subject recruitment and retention.

At the site initiation visit, Omnicare recommends that the CRA, in conjunction with the site staff, develop a patient recruitment plan detailing the recruitment strategies the site will use and the number of patients they feel will be enrolled at their site. The site will be held accountable for the success of this plan and the CRA will work with the site to modify and enhance the plan as necessary.

2.      Central Laboratory

As discussed with Sponsor, **** has been identified as suitable lab for the present Project. Estimated total pass-through costs have been added within the budget for PEP005-009.

3.      Photography of sBCC Lesions

According to the protocol synopses at least four pictures of the selected sBCC lesion will be taken at each scheduled and unscheduled patients visit. The investigative sites therefore need to be equipped with cameras and web cast facilities.

Omnicare CR has identified a suitable provider, **** Estimated total pass-through costs have been added within the budget for PEP005-009.

4.      Dermatopathology Laboratory

Pre-study lesion biopsy slides from patients in the screening phase will be sent to the central Dermatopathology laboratory for review and histological confirmation as part of the inclusion requirements. On Day 85 of the treatment the patient’s sBCC lesion will be excised and sent to a central dermatopathology laboratory for histological examination. In cooperation with Sponsor, Omnicare CR has identified a suitable lab, **** Estimated total pass-through costs have been added within the budget for PEP005-009.

Omnicare CR will perform an assessment visit of this lab prior to project start, as further discussed under Section J. Clinical Quality Assurance, herein.

5.      Setup and Maintenance of Project Master File

Omnicare CR will establish and maintain the Project Master File in accordance with Omnicare CR’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The study wide, individual investigator flies, and patient CRFs will be maintained in a locked, limited access, controlled file room. Ultimate

 

 

**** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Page 12


responsibility for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the Project Master File lies with the Head of the Regulatory File Room in US. In addition, it is the responsibility of all Omnicare CR Project Team members to ensure that the documents related to the Project are forwarded on a regular and frequent basis to the PMF. A transmittal sheet accompanies all documents forwarded to the Project Master File. The transmittal sheet clearly identifies the documents being submitted to the Project Master File. Upon receipt, the file room verifies that the documents noted on the transmittal sheet have been received, signs and dates the transmittal sheet, and forwards a copy of the transmittal sheet back to the sender to confirm receipt.

6.      Investigator Document Plan

An Investigator Document Plan will be developed for the Sponsor. The purpose of Investigator Document Plan is to list the essential documents required for investigational product shipment release, identify the Project-specific completion and review criteria for essential investigator documents, to detail the investigational product shipment approval procedure, detail the content of the Investigator Site File/Regulatory Binder, the Project Master File location, the procedure for submitting documents to the Project Master File return of documents to the Sponsor and the ongoing maintenance and review criteria for essential documents. The Investigator Document Plan also contains any translation requirements and Omnicare CR essential document templates and/or Sponsor-specific templates as required.

7.      Investigator Essential Document Management

Once Sponsor has signed the Investigator Documentation Plan, essential document packages, with letters of instruction, will mailed to qualified sites. Document collection will cover all criteria required under the principles of Good Clinical Practices (GCP) and International Committee for Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, as Omnicare CR SOPs.

Omnicare CR will track the retrieval of documents on an ongoing basis and provide updates to Sponsor as requested. The fee for essential document collection, processing, and tracking is based upon the number of sites required for the Project. All sites that drop from the Project for any reason will be billed based on percentage of work completed prior to notification of the drop. A submission-ready regulatory document package for each investigator will be forwarded to Sponsor or to Omnicare CR regulatory prior to drug shipment and site initiations. There will be an additional fee for this service if Omnicare CR Regulatory reviews the packages.

Once all essential documents and approvals are received, the essential documents are copied and an investigator site file is created. An investigator site file binder will be sent to each investigator.

Page 13


8.      Regulatory and Ethics Committee Submission

Omnicare understands that rapid start-up and timelines in general are crucial to Sponsor for this study.

Sponsor will submit the study to the FDA. Omnicare CR’s budget is based on a **** month start-up period (****) to include ****: In order to enroll the first patient ****, sites will have to be initiated in ****. To keep that timeline the final protocol will need to be submitted to the FDA at beginning of ****, and approval given by ****.

Omnicare CR will be responsible for submission to IRBs/Ethics Committees. Based on the list of pre-selected sites and the previous Sponsor trial we assume that all sites will have central IRBs. Upon review of the protocol synopsis, there appeared to be no major issues that are foreseen to arise from the Ethics Committee application. This is a standard dose escalation, cohort study.

The estimated **** months start-up time take into account that December/January is a holiday season.

9.      Country Specific ICF Adaptations

Omnicare CR will be responsible for liaising with the Ethics committees and regulatory authorities in providing modifications, and translations to the template ICF.

10.    Facility Letters and other Investigator Notices

Omnicare CR can prepare and submit facility letters, notice letters and other Investigator Notices as required during the course of the Project. Unit costs have been provided within the budget.

11.    Letters of Indemnification

The letters of indemnifications are negotiated and issued as needed and site and Sponsor signature is obtained. Letters of indemnifications are created, negotiated, and tracked like clinical study agreements.

For all agreements activities, if the Project ends, if a site is terminated, or if any site drops from the Project for any reason, that site’s documents will be billed based on percentage of work completed on each document prior to notification of the termination or drop.

12.    Protocol Amendments and IND Safety Reports and Investigator Brochure Updates

Protocol amendments will be billed at an additional processing fee. IND safety reports and revised Investigator Brochures will be sent to sites at an additional fee.

13.    Essential Document Renewals and Updates — Annual Site Maintenance

Throughout the Project, Omnicare CR will collect updated essential documents. The updating of essential documents (medical licenses, lab certifications, etc.) fee will be based on the site’s date of drug shipment through the site’s first IRB/Ethics re-approval date. For studies lasting greater than

 

 

**** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Page 14


one year, the annual renewal and update fee will be charged based on the site’s subsequent IRB/Ethics re-approval dates.

14.    Clinical Trial Agreements

For sites who have participated in the previous study these agreements will be used as the basis for the new study agreement, decreasing the need for negotiation, which will facilitate the execution process. If new sites will be initiated these agreements will serve as a template for the new agreements.

Activities include:

 

 

Create all clinical study agreements templates and patient budget template with the Sponsor

 

 

When possible, set up pre-approved alternative language and budget parameters in anticipation of negotiation

 

 

Negotiate all clinical study agreements that satisfy Sponsor requirements on behalf of the Sponsor

 

 

Incorporate changes using pre-approved alternative parameters and if changes are outside parameters, secure approval by the Sponsor

 

 

Obtain signatures from investigators, institutions, facilities, on all clinical study agreements as needed

 

 

Collect IRS Form W9 and payment information forms from sites

 

 

Track documentation and communication with the sites, Omnicare CR Project Management and the Sponsor.

15.    Clinical Study Agreements Amendments

Protocol modifications and/or changes at the site level which require CSA revisions, amendments and/or re-negotiation, will be billed as needed at an additional processing fee per unit. (See budget)

16.    Vendor/Lab Service Agreements

Omnicare CR will be responsible for handling agreements between all Laboratories involved in both Project and Omnicare CR on behalf of the Sponsor. The lab agreements’ terms and conditions are negotiated separately from clinical study agreements and related documents.

E. Clinical Trial Conduct

1.      Clinical Monitoring

Omnicare CR will provide initiation, interim and closeout visits in accordance with Sponsor’s specifications. It is assumed that Sponsor will perform qualification visits.

Interim site monitoring visits will begin once a site has enrolled its first patient and each site will receive one interim visit at that stage. 100% Source Data Verification will be performed during each visit. It is important however to maintain flexibility and responsiveness to changing workloads, particularly where a site is involved in more than one study.

Omnicare CR’s site management and monitoring procedures will be performed in accordance with ICH/ GCP to ensure each investigative site’s compliance with regulations and protocol requirements, and to enhance expeditious enrollment of appropriate patients into the clinical study. Regulatory documents will be reviewed by the CRAs on an ongoing basis during the study conduct phase, including verification of signed informed consent forms and investigators IRB notifications.

Following each site visit, the CRAs complete comprehensive site visit reports and follow-up letters, which are provided to Sponsor within ten (10) working days of the visit however all urgent issues are immediately reported to Sponsor’s Clinical Trial Manager. The monitoring visit reports provided by the CRAs include detailed action plans for all issues identified and all issues are tracked through to resolution. These follow-up letters and monitoring reports will be forwarded to the Sponsor on a monthly basis or as defined by Sponsor.

2.      Clinical Monitoring Scheme

Omnicare CR has based the budget on separate monitoring visits according to the following time and frequency assumptions:

 

Type of Visit

      Visits per site           Total number of    
visits
      Time onsite in hours       Preparation,
follow-up and
    reporting in hours    
      Travel time in hours    
Qualification Visits   ****   ****   ****   ****   ****
Initiation Visits   ****   ****   ****   ****   ****
Interim Monitoring Visits (frequency ever 4 weeks)   ****   ****   ****   ****   ****
Close-out Visits   ****   ****   ****   ****   ****

Any additional monitoring visits required will be invoiced Sponsor at the relevant daily rate, plus associated pass-through costs.

3.      Site Maintenance

During the interim period between each on-site visit it is essential that the CRAs maintain regular contact with the Investigative sites to ensure that the site remains focused on the Project and is actively screening potential subject enrollment.

 

 

**** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Page 16


The fee for site maintenance is estimated at **** hours per month per site for **** enrolment and treatment months. The associated cost for site maintenance also includes the resolution of data queries by the study CRA. Also, the assigned CRAs will assist the Sponsor in resolving data queries for data from investigational sites, which are unclear, conflicting or incomplete. The status of all queries resolved by Omnicare CR will be communicated to the Sponsor on an as-needed basis. The fee for resolution of data queries is included in the CRAs site maintenance.

F. Safety and Pharmacovigilance Services

1.      Safety Coordinator

The Safety Coordinator is responsible for the coordination of all activities relating to safety. They will also be responsible for the generation of, and any required revisions to the Study, Safety Plan, a comprehensive document, which defines the process and flow contracted safety services. Safety coordination also includes assistance with the SAE reconciliation process, and completion of sponsor derived queries of the sites.

2.      Availability for Receipt of SAEs

During business hours Omnicare CR has, a dedicated direct line to the Safety Surveillance Department for receipt of SAE information. During evening hours, weekends and holidays, a designated member of the Safety Surveillance Department will be on call via mobile telephone where contracted. All return calls to the sites will be made immediately to obtain the necessary SAE information and to determining the necessity of an SAE report.

3.      SAE Reporting and Initial Descriptive Narratives

Omnicare CR can be the primary contact for SAE reports originating from investigative sites or from other healthcare professionals and assume responsibility for the subsequent querying and receipt of follow-up information. The present budgets include service fees for SAE reporting without narratives. If required by Sponsor, Omnicare CR can prepare descriptive summaries based on the information provided in the SAE report form and supporting documentation. If significant follow-up information available, the narrative will be updated accordingly. Additional fees apply.

4.      Safety Database

It is assumed, that there is an existing database platform, the ****, within Omnicare CR for Sponsor. Therefore the present budgets include no Project set-up fees but only monthly database maintenance and date entry costs.

As discussed, Sponsor will assume responsibility to report SAE reactions that are associated with a drug or medical device to the FDA.

G. Clinical Data Management

Omnicare CR’s Clinical Data Management group is excited to have another opportunity to partner with Sponsor. This provides an opportunity for Omnicare CR to build on our working knowledge of Sponsor’s Project and utilize efficiencies from our best practices and process improvements instituted from previous projects.

Omnicare CR will assign Ms. **** as the Lead Clinical Data Manager for this project, who is very familiar with Sponsors processes and requirement.

This previous experience will enhance our study start-up and management activities, and will ensure that an experienced, knowledgeable team is partnering with the Sponsor team members. The experiences previously gained will benefit the new study in the following areas:

 

 

Status reports

 

 

Creation of the Data Management Plan

 

 

Database Development

 

 

Set-up of processes

 

 

Training of staff

 

 

Communication between Sponsor and Omnicare

 

 

Working knowledge of all processes

 

 

Central Laboratory Management and Data Loads

A Data Management will be assigned to this project to complete the activities defined in the bid specifications. The team will report into the Clinical Data Manager, and will consist of a Dictionary and Laboratory Managers and specialists, Clinical Data Analysts and Data Technicians. Team resources for the project will be developed by the Clinical Data Manager and will be based on the patient enrolment plan along with the Case Report Form retrieval plan. Adjustments will be made as needed as the studies progress. The Data Management team will work together under the leadership of the Clinical Data Manager, to insure the meeting of all project quality targets along with a timely database closure.

Dose Escalation Steering Committee (DESC) Reports

H. Biometrics Services

Omnicare CR will assign **** (Australia) as the Lead Biostatistician and **** (US) as Biostatistician for this project. Both have gained previous experience with Sponsor-specific processes and are excited to continue expanding their working relationship with Sponsor during the conduct of the present new Project. These experiences, especially expectations of SAP writing, the programming of Tables, Listings and Graphs, and communication will be carried forward to the new project. Thus a familiarity with Sponsor procedures is guaranteed.

Using the same Biometrics team will facilitate the whole statistical analysis process as, valuable previous experience and ‘lessons learned’ will be applied to this new project.

FDA Item 11

FDA Item 11 represents the definition documentation provided for all derived datasets according to CDISC requirements. Essentially this documentation support the FDA requirements for submission and accompanies the standard data transfer.

This was initially requested by Sponsor on Sponsor’s earlier studies and Omnicare CR is providing this additional data definition documentation also for the present project, in order to be consistent throughout the development program. The file contains the structure and contents of the derived datasets as per CDISC SDTM (study data tabulation model) v3.1.1:

The file produced would be named define.pdf matching the guidance titled Regulatory Submissions in Electronic Format New Drug Applications. Datasets are provided in SAS version 5-transport format.

I. Clinical Writing

1.      Clinical Study Report — Phase III

It will be the responsibility of the assigned Director Clinical Writing to ensure delivery of integrated statistical and clinical study report for this Project. The integrated clinical and statistical summary will be prepared in accordance with ICH-GCP Guidelines on the “Structure and Content of Clinical Study Reports” appropriate agency regulations, and Omnicare’s SOPs and clinical study report format. A draft clinical report will be generated within **** (****) weeks after receipt of source material and final summary tables and patient data listings.

The designated Omnicare CR clinical writers will liaise closely with the statistician and other Project Team members. All clinical documents will receive two levels of quality control reviews before they are released. There will be a QC review by an independent clinical writer for accuracy and consistency, and a review by the writing manager for accuracy, client format consistency, and appropriate regulatory and clinical perspective. The first draft will then be provided to the Sponsor for review.

The second draft clinical study report will be produced after receipt of one set of collated comments from the Sponsor. It is our experience at Omnicare CR that this can be facilitated, more speedily, by ****

 

 

**** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Page 19


****. The second draft will be reviewed within the Clinical Writing Department at Omnicare to ensure that all Sponsor comments are addressed and that all changes are consistent with the supporting data. Following the Sponsor’s second review, minor revisions will be made and the report finalized.

The fee for this report includes the drafting of the methodology sections in advance of the results section of the study report, as requested by the Sponsor. The methods section will contain the full methodology and planned analyses details (ICH-GCP Guidelines Sections 1-9). The methods sections will be drafted after receipt of the final statistical analysis plan. An internal clinical writing review for consistency with the ICH-GCP Guidelines and for accuracy with the source documentation will be completed. The draft methodology section will be provided to the Sponsor.

The writing fee estimates are based on receipt of final data. If database Changes occur which require a substantial amount of time (> 1/2  day overall) for rework or repeat quality control, additional fees will be agreed upon with Sponsor before proceeding.

2.       Narratives

Patient narratives will be drafted from final patient data listings. Omnicare clinical writing can prepare patient narratives for SAEs and discontinuations due to AEs.

3.      Clinical Writing Input to Statistical Analysis Plan

Omnicare’s Clinical Writing will review the draft statistical analysis plan and mock summary tables and data listings for consistency with the protocol and ICH-GCP Guidelines for clinical study reports. Clinical Writing will provide feedback on the table design and format to facilitate the use of the data in the clinical study report.

4.      Compilation of Appendices to Clinical Study Report

Omnicare CR’s Regulatory department (US) will compile and collate the Clinical Study Report electronic appendices in accordance with ICH-GCP Guidelines. Clinical Study Report appendices without hyperlinks will be prepared. Agreement will be reached with Sponsor prior to initiating the Project regarding the table of contents detail. Deliverables include electronic publishing, with all required formatting, utilizing a validated environment and 100% formatting check. Hardcopies requested by the Sponsor can be provided for ****. PostScript files will allow for subsequent printing needs of the Sponsor (one CD-ROM). Publishing of the appendices with hyperlinks applied is available for an additional charge.

J. Clinical Quality Assurance

Independent Clinical Quality Assurance (CQA) audits provide additional verification to Sponsor that all contracted processes and procedures have been followed. As part of our contracted service, a CQA Project Leader will attend conduct and manage the audit program, and proactively address any issues that may arise during the clinical development program.

In addition to contracted audits, CQA may, at its discretion, audit any aspect of a Project. As these are internal audits intended to support the overall quality of Omnicare’s work, reports generated as a result of the audits are submitted to the management of Omnicare Although the audit report is not provided to the Sponsor, CQA will inform Sponsor of any observations that affect the integrity of the Project. CQA also provides an Audit Certificate for inclusion in the PMF.

An Executive Summary will be generated at the end of each Project, documenting the quality status over the complete duration of the Project. The Executive summary will summarize all of the pertinent issues for all audits conducted in a concise, easy-to-read format. The findings will be listed by audit types and by categories and will be evaluated for their impact on the GCP compliance of the Project. The Executive Summary also will document the corrective actions taken to achieve resolution of the findings.

Together with the Executive Summary, a Summary Audit Certificate will be issued for each audit conducted during the Project.

1.      Quality Plan

The CQA Project Leader will develop a customized Project-specific Quality Plan in partnership with Sponsor. Ideally this contact person will be a CQA representative within Sponsor. The Quality Plan describes the approaches and methodology for the audits and as such, is a component of the Global Project Management Process (GPMP). The plan will include details such as the percentages of sites/patients/data be audited, the timeline of audits, and the plan for generation of individual Audit Report and Certificates. Sponsor will be requested to review and sign off on the plan and any necessary amendments to the original plan, prior to implementation.

2.      Dermatophatology Laboratory Audit

CQA will conduct an audit of the selected Dermatopathology Laboratory to provide additional verification that all contracted processes and procedures can be followed. The audit will be conducted to identify whether laboratory performance, laboratory documentation and facilities are in compliance with regulatory obligations, the requirements of the protocol, SOPs and ICH-GCP Guidelines, and GLP Guidelines.

On-site auditing activities will include review of SOPs, laboratory documentation, including accreditation and proficiency testing records, processes for laboratory receipt, handling, analysis, quality control and reporting of results, including standards for re-test and approval of laboratory results.

The audit will conclude with a debriefing session with the laboratory’s personnel. Critical or urgent issues will be discussed at this time and recommendations for improved compliance will be offered. Should any observations arise that affect the integrity of the Project or the analysis of the

samples, the CQA auditor will immediately alert Sponsor’s representative and the Omnicare Project Leader.

An Audit Report will be generated, documenting the results of the audit as well as suggestions for corrective actions. The report will be sent to the Sponsor’s representative for attention and potential resolution of findings and to the Omnicare Project Leader for information., the Audit Report will summarize all of the pertinent issues in a concise, easy-to-read format, and will also list the findings by categories. An Audit Certificate will also be provided.

B. Payment Schedules

  1. Invoicing Process for Service Fees

Omnicare CR maintains a project accounting system, whereby all direct project costs (service or pass-through expenses) are coded by project.

An initial payment of $**** representing approximately **** percent (****%) of the Estimated Service Fees is due and payable upon execution of this Exhibit J. Subsequent payments shall be made monthly, based on Project progress and upon submission of an invoice to Sponsor by Omnicare CR. After receipt of the initial payment, the subsequent invoices shall be reduced by a prorated portion from the initial payment such that the initial payment is applied evenly over the remaining term of the Project. All payments shall be processed within **** days. If any payment of

Page 32


service fees or pass through expenses is late by more than **** (****) days, such payment shall be subject to a penalty fee of ****% per month of the outstanding balance.

2. Exchange Rate

The pricing is based on the following exchange rates assumptions:

One (1) EUR € = 1.2705 USD

This Exhibit involves services provided in regions with currencies other than the budget currency, which is US Dollar. At the time Omnicare CR processes any pass through expenses (including grants) in currencies other than US Dollar, such expenses shall be converted to US Dollar using the exchange rate for the corresponding period as published by www.oanda.com

3. Pass through Expense Invoicing

Grant Payments — Omnicare CR will invoice **** (****) days in advance of grant payments due investigators based on estimates.

Omnicare CR requires payment from Sponsor —at least **** (****) days in advance of the actual payment to investigators. Payments to investigators will not be released until payments are received by Omnicare CR from Sponsor. Upon Sponsor’s request, Omnicare CR agrees to deposit payments from Sponsor into a non-interest bearing bank account. Omnicare CR shall draw upon such account to make the investigator payments. Any remaining funds in the account will be returned to Sponsor after the termination of the study, as soon as all contracted obligations to the investigators have been satisfied.

In the event payments from Sponsor are insufficient to cover the payments to investigators, Sponsor will promptly advance funds to Omnicare CR for the amount of grant payments required.

Omnicare CR’s project accounting system is able to capture and categorize in summary the following key pass-through expenses related to a project:

 

   

Travel

 

   

Delivery Costs

 

   

CRF and other printing or copying costs

 

   

Investigator Meeting costs

 

   

Telecommunication Costs (which may include telephone, fax, paper, conference calls, or PC connectivity charges)

 

   

All other Project related expenses that are not related to service fees

Any additional detail to support pass-through costs will be provided on a fee basis.

All payments shall be processed within **** days.

B. Payment Schedules

1. Invoicing Process for Service Fees

Omnicare CR maintains a project accounting system, whereby all direct project costs (Service Fees or Pass-Through Expenses) are coded by project.

An initial payment of A$****, representing approximately **** percent (****%) of the estimated Service Fees, is due and payable upon execution of this Exhibit N. Subsequent payments shall be made monthly, based on Project progress and upon submission of an invoice to Sponsor by Omnicare CR. After receipt of the initial payment, the subsequent invoices shall be reduced by a prorated portion from the initial payment such that the initial payment is applied evenly over the remaining term of the Project. All payments shall be processed within **** days. If any payment of Service Fees or Pass-Through Expenses is late by more than **** (****) days, such payment shall be subject to a liquidated damages fee of ****% per month of the outstanding balance.

**** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


2. Exchange Rates

The pricing is based on the following exchange rates assumptions:

One (1) A$ = US Dollars (US$) 0.8375

This Exhibit N involves services provided in regions with currencies other than the budget currency, which is Australian Dollars (A$). In the event the exchange rate moves three percent (3%) or more positively or negatively within a six-month timeframe, the parties agree to meet in good faith to discuss and negotiate new rates based on the new exchange rate.

In addition, at the time Omnicare CR processes any pass through expenses in currencies other than A$, such expenses shall be converted to A$ using the exchange rate for the corresponding period as published by oanda.com.

3. Pass-Through Expense Invoicing

Omnicare CR’s project accounting system is able to capture and categorise in summary the following key pass-through expenses related to your project:

 

   

Travel

 

   

Delivery Costs

 

   

Printing or copying costs

 

   

Meeting costs

 

   

Telecommunication Costs (which may include telephone, fax, paper, conference calls, or PC connectivity charges)

 

   

All other Project related expenses that are not related to service fees

4. Payments

Sponsor shall make payment directly to the following bank account nominated by Omnicare CR:

Omnicare CR Inc.

Westpac Banking Corporation,

Maquarie Shopping Centre,

North Ryde, NSW

SWIFT ID: ****

BSB/Account Number: ****

5. Annual Price Increase

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the estimated Service Fees set forth in this Exhibit N shall remain in effect until ****. Thereafter, Omnicare CR reserves the right to increase the price of the remaining Services under this Exhibit N as of each ****, such increases shall not exceed the percentage change of the Medical Services Price Index for the corresponding period.

B. Payment Schedules

 

1. Invoicing Process for Service Fees

Omnicare CR maintains a project accounting system, whereby all direct project costs (Service Fees or Pass-Through Expenses) are coded by project.

An initial payment of A$****, representing approximately **** percent (****%) of the estimated Service Fees, is due and payable upon execution of this Exhibit O. Subsequent payments shall be made monthly, based on Project progress and upon submission of an invoice to Sponsor by Omnicare CR. After receipt of the initial payment, the subsequent invoices shall be reduced by a prorated portion from the initial payment such that the initial payment is applied evenly over the remaining term of the Project. All payments shall be processed within **** days. If any payment of Service Fees or Pass-Through Expenses is late by more than **** (****) days, such payment shall be subject to a liquidated damages fee of ****% per month of the outstanding balance.

 

2. Exchange Rates

If Omnicare CR processes any pass-through expenses in a currency other than Australian Dollars (A$), such expenses shall be converted to A$ based on the Oanda foreign currency exchange rate (Oanda.com) for the applicable period being invoiced as per provider’s standard foreign exchange rate methodology, which is based on the provider’s revenue periods.

 

3. Pass-Through Expense Invoicing

Omnicare CR’s project accounting system is able to capture and categorise in summary the following key pass-through expenses related to your project:

 

   

Travel

 

   

Delivery Costs

 

   

Printing or copying costs

 

   

Meeting costs

 

   

Telecommunication Costs (which may include telephone, fax, paper, conference calls, or PC connectivity charges)

 

   

All other Project related expenses that are not related to service fees

Exhibit P to the Clinical Services Master Agreement

between Peplin Operations Pty Ltd. and Omnicare CR, Inc.,

dated 1st June 2005

THIS EXHIBIT P is entered into this 11th day of October, 2007 (“Effective Date”), by and between Peplin Operations Pty Ltd. (hereinafter “Sponsor”) and Omnicare CR, Inc. (hereinafter “Omnicare CR”).

WHEREAS, Sponsor and Omnicare CR entered into a Clinical Services Master Agreement, dated 1st June 2005 (hereinafter the “Master Agreement”), wherein Omnicare CR agreed to provide clinical services; and

WHEREAS, Omnicare CR and/or an affiliate entity (such entity being defined as an entity under direct or indirect beneficial common ownership as Omnicare CR’s; hereinafter referred to as “Affiliate Entity”) is willing and able to perform the services designated by Sponsor. Except for any references to invoicing or payment, any references to “Omnicare CR” shall be deemed to include “Omnicare CR and/or an Affiliate Entity”; and

WHEREAS, Sponsor and Omnicare CR agree that Omnicare CR shall provide the services set forth in this Exhibit P, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Master Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, AND INTENDING TO BE LEGALLY BOUND, Sponsor and Omnicare CR agree as follows:

I. Project Plan

Based on the Project Specifications, Omnicare CR has provided a description of services to be performed for Sponsor’s studies:

 

1. “A multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, vehicle-controlled study to determine the safety of PEP005 0.0025%, 0.01% and 0.05% gel with two treatment schedules, Day 1 and Day 2 or Day 1 and Day 8 applications to actinic keratoses”.

Protocol PEP005-001 dated 28 February 2005 Version 2.

 

2. “An open, Dose-escalation, Cohort study to determine the Safety of PEP005 Topical Gel when applied on Day 1 and Day 2 to Actinic Keratoses on the Shoulders, Chest, Back, and/or Arms followed by Post-Treatment Follow-Up Period Lasting at Least 4 weeks”.

Protocol PEP005-004 Version 3.

(hereinafter “the Project”) and associated costs. Changes made in the Project scope, at any time during the Project, will result in a corresponding adjustment to the Project costs.

 

 

**** Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked with four asterisks, has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.


II. Project Roles and Responsibilities

Sponsor has requested assistance from Omnicare CR with clinical writing services and compilation of clinical study report appendices to support the Project.

III. Omnicare CR Services

Services provided by Omnicare CR and the assumptions upon which associated costs were determined are based on the project specifications provided by Sponsor, and are outlined below. It should be noted, however, that the costs presented in this budget for these services are estimated pending review of the final documents.

The assumptions used in this estimate are based on the following:

 

1. Sponsor holds all Project Study Master Files and must provide required documents to Omnicare CR.

 

2. The services to be provided have been costed to assume that the Project will be conducted according to the Project Timeline detailed in Section IV. Any changes in timeline requested by Sponsor may result in additional charges.

 

3. The current format of the Clinical Study Reports is in ICHE3.

 

4. Sponsor requires final documents to be provided to them in electronic PDF (distilled when possible) format.

 

5. The Senior Clinical Writer will be responsible for the revisions requested by the Sponsor in both Clinical Study Reports. A first draft report will be generated within **** (****) weeks of the provision of all documentation detailed in Section III (Point #5). All clinical documents will receive **** (****) levels of quality control reviews before they are released. There will be a QC review by an independent (second) clinical writer for accuracy and consistency, and a review by the writing manager for accuracy, client format consistency, and appropriate regulatory and clinical perspective. The first draft will then be provided to the Sponsor for review. At this time, the Sponsor and an outside consultant will review the Clinical Study Reports. The second draft Clinical Study Report will be produced after receipt of one (1) set of collated comments from the Sponsor. The second draft will be reviewed within the Clinical Writing Department to ensure that all Sponsor comments are addressed and that all changes are consistent with supporting data. Following the Sponsor’s second review, minor revisions will be made and the final finalized. An approximate timeline per Clinical Study Report is as follows:
