Technlgy Transfer: The Future f Pharmaceutical Prduct Cmmercializatin i Drs. Xiaming Li, Timthy T. Kramer, Duglas Kjell, and Matthew Yates Nvember 15, 2015 Eli Lilly and Cmpany
Nte frm Authrs: Technlgy transfer has been gaining mre attentin in the Pharmaceutical sectr because f its accelerating expansin in dimensin and magnitude with everincreasing cmplexity. Glbal cllabratin, including China, is essential fr the future success f ur industry. We wuld like t share experiences with ur technlgy transfer jurney t cllabratively establish a cmmn practice enabling future successful transfers. Cmpany Cnfidential 2015 Eli Lilly and Cmpany 2

Technlgy Transfer Definitin ISPE: The systematic prcedure that is fllwed in rder t pass the dcumented knwledge and experience gained during develpment and/r cmmercializatin t an apprpriate, respnsible, and authrized party. Technlgy transfer embdies bth the transfer f dcumentatin and the demnstrated ability f a Receiving Unit t effectively perfrm the critical elements f transferred technlgy, t the satisfactin f all parties and any, r all, applicable regulatry bdies. ICH Q10 (3.1.2): The gal f technlgy transfer activities is t transfer prduct and prcess knwledge between develpment and manufacturing, and within r between manufacturing sites t achieve prduct realizatin. This knwledge frms the basis fr the manufacturing prcess, cntrl strategy, prcess validatin apprach and nging cntinual imprvement. Cmpany Cnfidential 2015 Eli Lilly and Cmpany 4
