SPONSORED CLINICAL STUDY AGREEMENT
This Clinical Study Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made this 14th day of April, 2003 (“Effective Date”), between The University of Texas M.D. Xxxxxxxx Cancer Center, 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 (“Institution”), a component of The University of Texas System (“System”), and ChemGenex Therapeutics, Inc., 0000 Xxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxx X, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 (“Sponsor”). Institution and Sponsor agree as follows:
1. PROTOCOL
1.1 Institution agrees to use its best efforts to conduct a clinical study of Sponsor’s study drug, as an independent contractor, in accordance with Institutional policy, applicable laws and regulations and the protocol entitled “A Phase II Open-Label Study of the Intravenous Administration of Homoharringtonine (CGX-635) in the Treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)” (the “Protocol”), as described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein (the “Study”). The Study shall be supervised by Xxxxx Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx, M.D. (“Principal Investigator”), at Institution, with assistance from associates and colleagues (collectively, “Other Investigators”), as required.
1.2 The Institution shall require the Principal Investigator and the Other Investigators engaged in the Study each individually to complete and return to Sponsor the Disclosure of Financial Interests and Arrangements attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Disclosure”). Sponsor shall hold such Disclosures in confidence and shall only use such Disclosures as necessary to comply with FDA regulatory requirements set forth in 21 CFR § 54. By completing the Disclosure, the Principal Investigator and the Other Investigators shall represent that the Disclosure supplied is truthful and accurate. Failure of Investigators to complete and return the Disclosure(s) to Sponsor shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. In the event that circumstances change during the Study and the Disclosure submitted by the Principal Investigator and the Other Investigators engaged in the Study is no longer truthful and accurate, the Principal Investigator and/or the Other Investigators shall promptly submit to Sponsor updated Disclosure(s) reflecting the new circumstances.
1.3 Sponsor agrees to engage the services of Institution to conduct the Study and further agrees to provide at no cost to Institution the study drug and related materials as referenced in the Protocol (the “Study Drug “) for the conduct of the Study. The Study shall be conducted at Institution.
1.4 Neither the Principal Investigator nor the Study location may be changed without Sponsor’s prior written consent.
1.5 Institution and Sponsor shall comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in performance of the Studies. Independent assurance that the Study is designed in a manner appropriate to ensure that the subjects are protected shall be provided by the Institution’s Ethics Committee or Institutional Review Board (collectively, “IRB”). The Institution shall formulate, in cooperation with the Sponsor, informed consent agreements. Institution shall ensure that written informed consent agreements, as well as other applicable consents required by law, are obtained from each individual Study subject before such individual is allowed to participate as a subject in the Studies. Breach of this Section 1.5 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Sponsor shall be entitled to review and revise as appropriate such informed consent form or any modification thereof prior to use by the Institution, subject to subsequent approval by the IRB.
1
1.6 In accordance with applicable laws and regulations, Institution shall cause Principal Investigator to promptly, but in no event more than twenty-four (24) hours later, advise Sponsor of any serious adverse reactions or side-effects relating to the Study Drug or arising during the course of performance of the Study. Such notification by Principal Investigator shall be by telephone and as directed in the Protocol. Sponsor and Institution shall jointly and promptly deal with all such serious adverse reactions or side effects and take appropriate measures necessary to safeguard the subjects.
1.7 Institution shall not use independent contractors to perform any services to be performed by Institution under the Study without the prior written consent of Sponsor.
2. AWARD
2.1 In consideration for performance of the Study by Institution, Sponsor shall pay Institution a maximum of [*] dollars ($[*]) per patient for Study expenses for up to fifteen (15) patients, according to the study budget and payment schedule detailed in Exhibit B. This amount, shown by approximate category of expense in Exhibit B is attached hereto for information only. The first installment is payable within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, and subsequent installments are payable quarterly. In no event shall Sponsor be obligated to pay to Institution any aggregate amount in excess of [*] dollars ($[*]) unless Sponsor consents to do so in writing. Breach of Section 2.1 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.
3. TERM
3.1 This Agreement shall continue in force until the earlier of completion of the Study as mutually agreed upon by the parties or twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Date; provided, however, that Sponsor may terminate the Agreement at will by giving thirty (30) days advance written notice to Institution. Institution may terminate this Agreement for material breach by Sponsor, if such breach remains uncured thirty (30) days after Sponsor receives written notice of such breach from Institution.
3.2 Upon early termination of this Agreement other than for Institution’s material breach and subject to the maximum amount specified in Article 2, Sponsor shall be liable for all reasonable and documented costs incurred by Institution in performance of the Study at the time of such termination, and all non-cancelable obligations reasonably relating to such performance. Sponsor shall pay Institution for such costs within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice for same.
3.3 Upon termination of this Agreement, Institution shall return Sponsor’s Study Drug, Confidential Information of the Sponsor and other Study materials.
4. INDEMNIFICATION
4.1 Institution shall, to the extent authorized under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas, indemnify and hold Sponsor, its officers, agents, employees, independent contractors and affiliates (“Sponsor Indemnitees”) harmless from any and all liability, loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) or damages resulting from the negligent acts or omissions or willful malfeasance of Institution, its agents, employees or related personnel (including, but not limited to postgraduate students and other students) arising out of the activities to be carried out pursuant to the obligations of this Agreement; provided, however, that Institution shall not hold such Sponsor Indemnitees harmless from claims arising out of the negligence or willful malfeasance of such Sponsor Indemnitees.
2

a. the negligent failure of Institution or such Institution Indemnitee to adhere to the terms of the Protocol, or the material failure of Institution or such Institution Indemnitee to comply with any applicable governmental requirements or to perform its obligations under the Agreement; or
b. the negligence or willful malfeasance by a Regent, officer, agent, employee or related personnel (including, but not limited to postgraduate students and other students) of Institution or System.
4.3 As a condition of indemnification by a party, such party seeking indemnification shall provide the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any such claim or action arising out of the activities to be carried out pursuant to the obligations of this Agreement. Such indemnifying party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of any and all such claims and actions and shall have the right to select and engage counsel of its choice. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in defense of any and all claims and actions. Institution shall not settle a claim while including an admission of wrongdoing or negligence on the part of Sponsor without Sponsor’s written approval. Sponsor shall not settle a claim while including an admission of wrongdoing or negligence on the part of Institution without Institution’s written approval. This Section 4.3 is subject to the statutory duties of the Texas Attorney General.

a. University, as a component of System, is an agency of the State of Texas and is self-insured pursuant to The University of Texas System Professional Medical Malpractice Self-Insurance Plan, under the authority of Chapter 59, Texas Education Code.
