And your there's some books on hibbett or that is phase two ready.
Consistent with our strategy to focus on life changing medicines for people affected by conditions.
Its current therapies are lacking we plan to initially focus this program and the potential treatment of post traumatic stress disorder PTSD in patients with inadequate response to approved therapies.
We expect to initiate a phase two study who late 2021, following protocol development and global regulatory interactions.
Robert Iannone: This complements our PAN-RAF inhibitor program and broadens our approach to this interesting and important path. In October, we announced the acquisition of SpringWorks Therapeutics' Pha Inhibitor Program, which includes PF-04457845, which I'll abbreviate as PF-845, and an Irreversible Thaw Inhibitor that is Phase 2 ready. Consistent with our strategy to focus on life-changing medicines for people affected by conditions for which current therapies are lacking, we plan to initially focus this program on the potential treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD, in patients with inadequate response to improved therapy. We expect to initiate a phase two study in late 2021 following protocol development and global regulatory interaction. PTSD is a chronic disorder and a significant public health concern for which there have been no new approved pharmacotherapies for nearly two decades. Current treatments include frontline treatment with psychotherapy, two approved SSRIs, and multiple other agents that are used off-label to try to control symptoms.
Yes, he is a chronic disorder and a significant public health concern for which there had been no new approved pharmacotherapy is for nearly two decades.
Current treatments include front line treatment psychotherapy, two crews and assess our eyes and multiple other agents that are used off label to try to control symptoms. However, 45% of patients are not well controlled and have residual symptoms.
With the other under diagnosed rate of PTSD, no treatment rates and significant number of patients with inadequate treatment responses.
The U.S. target population and Pts the patience is approximately 2 million.
[noise] symptoms the Pts C.
Particularly impaired fear extinction anxiety and.
And sleep disturbances have significant negative effects on patients ability to function and their quality of life.
Yes, 845 represents an innovative approach to treating PTSD novel mechanism of action and has the potential to address multiple core symptoms of the disease, I enhancing fear extinction, reducing anxiety and improving disrupted sleep.
Based on clinical results from the healthy volunteer experimental model year extinction.
So with all the positive effects on sleep and mood observed in patients with kind of this houston sooner undergoing acute cannabis withdrawal.
Robert Iannone: However, over 45% of patients are not well controlled and have residual symptoms, with an underdiagnosed rate of PTSD, low treatment rates, and a significant number of patients with inadequate treatment response. The U.S. target population of PTSD patients is approximately 2 million. Symptoms of PTSD, particularly impaired fear extinction, anxiety, and sleep disturbances, have significant negative effects on patients' ability to function and their quality of life.
There was a strong rationale to support the evaluation of this molecule in patients with PST.
We are therefore really excited to be adding the foreign hibbett or to our expanding clinical stage there are sites pipeline.
Turning to JCP 258 last month, we were pleased to share the positive clinically meaningful highly statistically significant topline results from our JCP to find the phase three study in adult patients with idiopathic Hypersonics area.
Robert Iannone: PF845 represents an innovative approach to treating PTSD with a novel mechanism of action that has the potential to address multiple core symptoms of the disease by enhancing fear extinction, reducing anxiety, and improving disrupted sleep. Based on clinical results from a healthy volunteer experimental model of fear extinction.
We are excited by the compelling results and the magnitude of improvement improvement observed in the study.
We are now fully focused on submitting a supplemental NDA to the FDA in the first quarter 2021 being.
We intend to bring this important therapy to patients as soon as possible launch targeted in the fourth quarter of 2021.
To this end we were pleased that in September FDI granted fast track designation JCP to fighting for the treatment of idiopathic Hypersound there.
Robert Iannone: As well as the positive effects on sleep and mood observed in patients with cannabis use disorder undergoing acute cannabis withdrawal, there is a strong rationale to support the evaluation of this molecule in patients with PTSD. We're therefore really excited to be adding the PHA inhibitor to our expanding clinical stage neuroscience pipeline. Turning to JCP 258, last month, we were pleased to share the positive, clinically meaningful, and highly statistically significant top line results from our JCP 258 phase 3 study in adult patients with idiopathic hypersomnia.

We do have a question from Brandon Folkes from Cantor Fitzgerald.
All lines.
Hi, Thanks for taking my question and congratulations on the quarter and maybe just on J.P. full five eight.
Can you talk about if you remain confident that we will see interim data in the near term and just what is the clinical path from here in terms of remaining on track to submit a filing by year end. Thank you.
Operator: We are well on our way to executing five launches through the end of 2021, with three products already launched and two next year. JCP 458 is on track for launch in mid 2021, and JCP 258 for IH is targeted for launch in the fourth quarter.

Yeah. Thanks, Brandon for that question I'll, just point out to people that we have not said we will necessarily publicly.
Release.
Interim analysis data what we have said is we'll be looking at data along the way and that will inform our path.
Forward with F.D.A., Rob maybe I could ask you to comment a little bit on what lies ahead.
So we continue to work with the FDA and the appropriate data package and timing for the OLED submission.
And as we said in the transcript, where we continue to target a mid year launch.
Potential deal a submission is as early as this year.
Great. Thank you very much.
Next one on acute with whom were filed from Evercore fewer and all lives.
Hi, Thanks, so much for taking my question first congrats on the hyper Samuel study. My question was if you could speak Bruce to the size of the market and perhaps also remind us how many have kearns arm patients are on I are for hypersound indication and and on that note also could you remind us.
Operator: We kindly request that you limit yourself to one question during this call so that everyone has an opportunity to ask a question. We will gladly address any additional questions after the call, or you can re-enter the queue. With that said, Operator, please open the line for questions. Okay, so as a reminder, to ask a question, you will need to press star 1 on your telephone. To withdraw your question, press the pound key. Again, that is star 1 on your telephone.
Bruce I'm, sorry could you could you tell us if you believe there's if there's any real risk to the settlement structure you have on Xyrem post 2022, Thank you very much.
So thanks tumor I'll take the second part of that question first you know we entered a number of settlement agreements and were confident those are good agreements.
Don't have anything more to say at this point, maybe I'll come to Dan Oh for the question on the idiopathic I personally opportunity and whether there's overlap with current treated xyrem patients yeah. Thanks Russ.
Brandon Richard Folkes: Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster. We do have a question from Brandon Folkes from Canter Fitzgerald. You are now live. Hi, thanks for taking my question and congratulations on the quarter. Maybe just on JDP 458, can you talk about if you remain confident that we will see interim data in the near term and just what is the clinical path from here in terms of remaining on track to submit a filing by year end? Thank you. Yeah, thanks, Brandon, for that question.
And this is some of the information. We also gave last a week on the I'm as I leave.
Teleconference, but in the U.S. based on claims data, which we think is probably an under diagnosis Theres 30 cents 37000 diagnosed I age patients. We also know that the majority of that diagnosis.
Is generated by sleep doctors similar to two.
Bruce C. Cozadd: I'll just point out to people that we have not necessarily said we will necessarily publicly release the Interim Analysis Data. What we have said is we'll be looking at data along the way, and that'll inform our path forward with FDA. Rob, maybe I could ask you to comment a little bit on what lies ahead. And as we said in the transcript, we continue to target a mid-year launch with a potential BLA submission as early as February. Great, thank you very much. Next one on the queue is Umar Rafat from Evercore. You are now live.
Writers really was a strong 90% overlap with 800.
Physicians.
In terms of the question about how many patients are currently being treated with Xyrem. We think very few based on anecdotes and what we know on.
Clinic basis, and even in the study.
We had.
I don't know 40, or so patients only a single digit number had previous xyrem exposure. So we really do you think this will unlock a new opportunity for US which is obviously got very close overlap with where we are and it will also open up for an unmet need a payer access.
Thank you Richard.
Yes excellent on the Q is a reason that Schmidt from BMO capital markets. Your Dol lives.
Umar Rafat: Hi, thanks so much for taking my question. First, congrats on the hypersomnia study. My question was, Bruce, about the size of the market and perhaps also remind us how many current XyRM patients are on it for hypersomnia. And on that note, also, could you remind us, Bruce, sorry, could you tell us if you believe there's any real risk to the settlement structure you have on XyRM post-2022? Thank you very much. So, thanks, Umar.
Hi, guys does that felt good number was very impressive in the third quarter. So just provide some more detail on the early feedback from physicians on the product how they're initially using it in their patients how much is getting on the NCCN guidelines helped with uptake and what does receptivity from payers been on pricing.
And how is reimbursement been so far with that okay. Thank you.
Yeah, Thanks, Gary maybe I'll turn it over to Kim to take this question.
Bruce C. Cozadd: I'll take the second part of that question first. You know, we entered into a number of settlement agreements, and we're confident those are good agreements, and we don't have anything more to say at this point. Maybe I'll come to Dan for the question on the idiopathic hypersomnia opportunity and whether there's overlap with current treated xyrem patients, and this is some of the information we also gave last week at the Zaiwis Teleconference. U.S. based on claims data, which we think is probably under-diagnosed; we also know that the majority of that generated by sleep doctors is similar, really with a strong 90% overlap with 800 physicians. In terms of the question about how many I.H.
Sure. Thank you. Yes. We are also very pleased and excited with the performance and the customer response to the launch of of that Delta you know Dan highlights out of the most important numbers. There in terms of you know how to 800 accounts, having placed orders and 80% of having them.
Having reordered would you see a nice mix of business the craft community counts and academic you know early based on early claims data that we looked at from the first month of launch we're observing that delta usage in both the second line and the third line and beyond setting in a nice healthy portion of that in the second line setting which is.
Very positive indicator for us all prescribers see the value of using this product early.
Daniel N. Swisher: Patients are currently being treated with Xyrem, but we think very few, based on clinic basis and even in the study where we had 140 or so patients, a single-digit number had previous Xyrem exposures. We really do think this will unlock a new opportunity for us, close overlap with where we are, and it will also open up for an unmet need. Pay your, Operator? Operator?
On a patient.
Treatment regimen, we would've said did expect that there would be some initial pent up demand in the third line and beyond setting on until dissipate that that group.
The patient is going to decline moving moving forward.
In terms of reimbursement, we're very pleased where in this very strong situation on payers have.
Embraced that Delta and there's really no issues on that front from a coverage and reimbursement standpoint.
Operator: Mm-hmm, yep. Next one on the queue is Gary Nachman from BMO Capital Markets. You are now live.
Okay. Thank you.
Gary Nachman: Hi guys, the Zabzelka number was very impressive in the third quarter, so just provide some more detail on the early feedback from physicians on the product, how they were initially using it in their patients, how much getting on the NCCN guidelines helped with uptake, and what receptivity from payers has been on pricing, and how reimbursement has been so far with Zabzelka. Thank you. Yeah, thanks, Gary. Maybe I'll turn it over to Kim to ask this question.
Next one on the Q is Sammy for deals from SVB, Leerink fewer and all lines.
Thank you for the question congratulations on a nice quarter on that because that's that's got fail.
Hi, My question is on the side by the franchise you talked about it.
Expecting some impact.
Well the next couple of months as you gain coverage for diving.
I'm not going to be on the net realized price alone or should we anticipate some impact on blogging bell.
Kim Sablich: Sure. Thank you. Yes, we are also very pleased and excited with the performance and the customer response to the launch of Zelka. Dan highlights some of the most important numbers there in terms of having 800 accounts having placed orders and 80% of them having reordered. We do see a nice mix of business across community accounts and academic.
And also into context can you talk about weeks and that's having you know if you expect to have any impact on that or.
I think that that product will expand the market. Thank you.
Yeah, maybe I'll come to Kim first just to talk about what's going on at the at the patient level.
And then Ah Rene maybe you could comment on what people will see from a financial standpoint.
Just to clarify on the front part of that question at the patient level what is the specific question.
Kim Sablich: You know, based on early claims data that we looked at from the first month of launch, we're observing Zelka usage in both the second line and the third line and beyond setting, and a nice healthy portion of that in the second line setting, which is a very positive indicator for us that prescribers see the value of using this product early in a patient's treatment regimen. We did expect that there would be some initial pent-up demand in the third line and beyond setting and anticipate that that group of patients is going to decline moving forward. In terms of reimbursement, we're very pleased. We're in a very strong situation.
Oh. The question is that are we going to see an impact on the next realized price alone.
Or would you anticipate an impact on total patient number or what have you.
Has that.
So I'm, sorry, I'm not understanding the patient the patient part of the question.
I'll jump in I'll jump in Kim I mean.
No as we said in the call script, we're working very hard to make sure all patients who want to fly wave have access to fly waived can transition onto the product.
Rene maybe I can ask you to take the piece on financials.
Kim Sablich: Payers have, you know, embraced Zelka, and there are really no issues on that front from a coverage and reimbursement standpoint. Okay. Thank you. The next one on the queue is Ami Fadia from SVB Lyrinc. You are now live.
Sure Yeah. So we do expect through the payer access program sorry, the patient access programs that we've put in place that you will see as we have patience adopting sai wave an impact to both the revenue bottle growth.
Ami Fadia: Thank you for the question. Congratulations on a nice quarter for the Zercat sales. My question is about the Xyrum Xywave franchise. You talked about...
As well as an impact to gross to nets and not because of the different programs that are offered.
Kim Sablich: I'm expecting some impact. Over the next couple of months as you gain coverage for Zyvate, is that going to be on the net realized price alone, or should we anticipate some impact on volumes as well? And also, in this context, can you talk about Wakex and if that's having, you know, if you expect to have any impact from that, or if you think that that product will expand the market? Thank you.
So sub programs will come through as such has couponing stream gross to nets and other bridge program will come in the form of free bottles. So since we do report revenue bottle growth you may not be able to completely connect what you're seeing in terms of revenue bottles.
Renee Gala: Yeah, maybe I'll come to Kim first just to talk about what's going on at the patient level. And then Renee, maybe you could comment on what people will see from a financial standpoint. Just to clarify on the front part of that question, at the patient level, what is the specific question?
Xyrem versus revenue bottle growth in sideways since the patient access programs will provide that smooth transition does that make sense.
That's very helpful. Thank you.
And then maybe just to weigh in on your question about weak economy.
Kim Sablich: Oh, the question is that, are we going to see an impact on the naturalized price alone? Or would you anticipate an impact on total patient numbers or volume as well? So I'm sorry, I'm not understanding the patient part of the question. I'll jump in.
Yeah Wake Ics has been on the market for some time now and the reason.
Supplemental a change to their label, including Cataplexy is really just a re analysis of data that had been published and presented and was already out there. So we don't see a we haven't seen much of an impact if anything.
Having additional competitors in the market to grow the market given the still relatively low diagnosis rate can be a benefit in those patients who eventually come to oxybate.
Bruce C. Cozadd: I mean, you know, as we said in the call script, we're working very hard to make sure all patients who want Zywave have access to Zywave and can transition onto the product. Rene, maybe I can ask you to take the piece on financials. Sure, yeah, so we do expect through the payer access program, sorry, the patient access programs that we've put in place, that you will see, as we have patients adopting Zywave, an impact on both the revenue bottle growth, as well as an impact on growth to nets. And that's because of the different programs that are offered.
It's got a very unique profile does for addressing EPS and cataplexy and that was I believe we have the first and only low sodium oxybate that we believe will be the treatment of choice for Oxybate patience.
Thanks, Dan.
Next question comes from the line of David Amsellem from Piper Sandler you were no longer.
Thanks. So my question is surrounding Sonos C. I noted your comments about the contract sales organization and targeting.
Renee Gala: So subprograms will come through, such as couponing through growth to nets, and other large programs will come in the form of free bottles. So, since we do report revenue bottle growth, you may not be able to completely connect what you're seeing in terms of revenue bottles in Zyram versus revenue bottle growth in Zywave since the patient access programs will provide that smooth transition. Does that make sense?
More positions I guess the question here is are you comfortable with the overall strategic direction of that franchise.
And specifically.
Given the investment the.
The significant investments in sales and marketing focusing on Oh I say.
Is that.
Renee Gala: And then maybe just to weigh in on your question about Wacox, Ami. Yeah, Wacox has been on the market for some time now, and the recent... Supplemental change to their label, including cataplexy, is really just a reanalysis of data that had been published and presented, was already out there, so we don't see, we haven't seen much of an impact, if anything.
You know appropriate given the trajectory of the product and I guess, where I'm getting at is that would a you know a rare disease focus in other words exclusively at narcolepsy focused.
May have made more sense, maybe help me understand or help us understand how you're thinking about that product going forward. Thanks.
Ken maybe Kim I'll ask you to weigh in on this.
Sure I.
We remain very optimistic about the future Sanofi, we had very strong and favorable feedback from the prescribers and the patients that have utilized it. So we do believe that incremental investment and this product is going.
Daniel N. Swisher: So having additional competitors in the market to grow the market given the still relatively low diagnosis rate can be a benefit, and those patients who eventually come to OxyBait. It's got a very unique profile both for addressing EDS and cataplexy. And now, as I wave, we have the first and only low-sodium product.
Going to pay off and be warranted as Dan mentioned right now, we're adding 15 additional sales represented yeah. The sales representatives are very experienced each with over 10 years of experience. They were hired and trained last month.
Daniel N. Swisher: Oxibate that we believe will be the treatment of choice for, Thanks, Dan. Next question comes from the line of David Amsellem from Piper Sandler. You are now live. Thanks. So my question is about Sanosi.
In.
An additional 6000 always say prescribers, starting today that we have and with our current sales force been able to reach a and we do believe that this will be an important investments for us. So we're looking forward to expanding our reach and continuing to bring this important medications to both narcolepsy and let's say patient.
David A. Amsellem: I noted your comments about the contract sales organization and targeting more positions. I guess the question here is, are you comfortable with the overall strategic direction of that franchise? And specifically, given the investment, the significant investment in sales and marketing and focusing on OSA, is that appropriate given the trajectory of the product? And I guess where I'm getting at is that a rare disease focus, in other words, exclusively a narcolepsy focus, may have made more sense.
Excellent on the Q is roni call from Bernstein fewer and all lines.
Hi, Good afternoon. Thank you for taking my question and congratulations on the beat this quarter, especially since it was not driven by Xyrem, but some of your some of your other partner.
My question is on the pair dynamics for Skywave Asia somebody you kind of said he has spiked my ears.
[laughter], which is.
You got coverage from your partner he aside but you still need to get coverage can be all their large payers. Despite some discounts you've already given either.
Kim Sablich: Maybe help me understand or help us understand how you're thinking about that product going forward. Thanks. And maybe, Kim, I'll ask you to weigh in on this. Sure. We remain very optimistic about the future of Sanosi.
This year on Xyrem I was just wondering if you could just kind of give us a directional thinking here as we think about the transition of the franchise to Zaire wave away from Xylene should we expect the net price per bottle.
Kim Sablich: We've had very strong and favorable feedback from prescribers and patients that have utilized it. So we do believe that incremental investment in this product is going to pay off and be warranted. As Dan mentioned, right now, we're adding 50 additional sales representatives. These sales representatives are very experienced, each with over 10 years of experience. They were hired and trained last month, and they're going to enable us to reach an additional 6,000 OSA prescribers starting today that we haven't, with our current sales force, been able to reach.
To be low whereby you know not nontrivial amount. So this is not going to be a 234 cents decline, but something north of 10 or more I know those contracts and I've done and you kind of want to be careful here and what you say, but just you can just give us a a directional directional call. Just so we don't know if you want a reasonable expectation.
And second you said on the call on Monday that you have made some deals to do to get people access to design a Z wave through multiple pharmacies and I was wondering if you can elaborate on that and most importantly does that mean, the Threeforty me pharmacies will now be able to.
Be spans or at least at.
Ronnie Kaul: And we do believe that this will be an important investment for us. So we're looking forward to expanding our reach and continuing to bring this important medication to both narcolepsy and OSA patients. Next one on the queue is Ronnie Kaul from Bernstein. You are now live. Good afternoon. Thank you for taking my question and congratulations on the bid this quarter, especially since it was not driven by Xyron but some of your other products. My question is about the pair dynamics for Zywave.
Be that transition point for the orders on Xively.
Yeah, Ronny, maybe I'll take the second part of that first shows I wave likes I run this still shipped exclusively from.
A single pharmacy, and that's for Rems related reasons. So.
Maybe I'll, let him come back to the broader access question.
Yes, sure I think as we've mentioned on other calls at the gross level, we have priced at parity xylene xyrem at parity and really our objective as we move into contracting is for the two products to be at approximately the same level as well of course subject to the payer negotiate.
Bruce C. Cozadd: Something you kind of said here spiked my ears, which is... You got coverage from your partner, ESI, but you still need to get coverage from the other large payers, despite some discounts you've already given this year on Xyram. I was just wondering if you could just, you know, kind of give us a directional thinking thought here. As we think about the transition of the franchise to Xywave away from Xyram, should we expect the net price per bottle to be lower by, you know, non-trivial amounts? So this is not going to be a two, three percent decline but something north of 10 or more. I know those contracts are not done, and you kind of want to be careful here in what you say, but if you can just give us a directional call just so we don't kind of give you unreasonable expectations.
Patients that we have going on right now.
So just a quick.
But I guess the question is worse or do you view your net price in 2020, as we think about 22 and beyond should we kind of had stepped stepped down or you don't anticipate such such a step down in pricing for the franchise.
Rene you want to comment on that.
Well, we haven't given specific guidance for 2021 or 2022, Ronnie but what we have said is that we do expect our topline sales to grow in 2021, and we expect them to grow in 2022 and that by 2022, we would have nearly 50.
Percent of our revenues coming from our newer products for 2019 that sorry that have been launched from 2019 forward. So while we're not giving specific guidance for xylene right. Now we are looking to this diversified portfolio of products, we're launching to contribute really meaningful to our revenue going forward.
Bruce C. Cozadd: And second, you said on your call on Monday that you have made some deals to give people access to Xywave through multiple pharmacies. And I was wondering if you could elaborate on this. And, most importantly, does that mean that 340B pharmacies will now be able to dispense or at least be the transition point for orders on Xywave? Yeah, Ronnie. Maybe I'll take the second part of that first.
And we are expecting that growth at the topline for 2021, and 2022 and as you know the Oxybate franchise is they makes up still a large percentage of our revenues.
Bruce C. Cozadd: So Zywave, like Zyrem, is still shipped exclusively from a single pharmacy, and that's for REMS-related reasons. So maybe I'll let Kim come back to the broader access question. That's sure.
I appreciate it thank you.
Excellent on acute is Jason Gerberry from Bank of America fewer doll line.
Hi, Good evening. Thank you for taking my questions question just for Bruce can you comment maybe whats going on with the supply situation with or when is 20 million out of the lowest I've I've ever seen from from this product and looks like a bit of a dislocation.
Kim Sablich: I think, as we've mentioned in other calls, we have priced at parity, Zywave and Zyram at parity. And really, our objective as we move into contracting is for the two products to be at approximately the same net level as well, of course, subject to the payer negotiations that we have going on right now. So, let's get to questions. So I guess the question is, versus your net price in 2020, as we think about 22 and beyond, should we kind of step down, or do you not anticipate such a step down in pricing for the franchise? Rene, do you want to comment on that?
And I realize you're kind of in a sensitive position with the unwind of the contract ended the year with.
PBL, but I think it's important for investors to think about the competitive dynamics that GDP for fivea could be launching into next year. So can you provide any incremental color on perhaps what's going on with the supply situation.
Yeah, Jason Good good question and the important thing here is to just separate in your mind supply and demand.
You know there is still absolute demand for or Wynia asparaginase base and we're doing everything we can to make sure we provide as much supply to the market as possible. It's just been erratic in terms of when we have a watch that can be distributed.
Renee Gala: Well, we haven't given specific guidance for 2021 or 2022, Ronnie, but what we have said is that we do expect our top line sales to grow in 2021. And we expect them to grow in 2022. And that by 2022, we would have nearly 50% of our revenues coming from our newer products for 2019 that, sorry, that have been launched from 2019 forward. So while we're not giving specific guidance for Zywave right now, we are looking to this diversified portfolio of products we're launching to contribute really meaningfully to our revenue going forward. And we are expecting that growth at the top line for 2021 and 2022. And as you know, the Oxybate franchise still makes up a large percentage of our revenues. I appreciate it.
I am when they you.
Our available they are are dispersed quickly to help.
Patients who need the need the product.
So we think a you know it's it's even more important than we would have said a year or two ago that we have a reliable high quality.
In addition capacity.
More moderately manufactured product.
It will reliably meet the needs of patients both in the U.S. and then over time in all markets. So we're doing everything we can.
You're just seeing you know unpredictable.
Availability of product and very limited availability of product Dan anything you want to add on that.
Just you know each gosh takes quite some time to work through the quality system with the particular in the U.S.
And we do keep our customers as informed as we possibly can and we have.
Jason Matthew Gerberry: Thank you. Next one on the queue is Jason Gerberry from Bank of America. You are now live. Hey, good evening.
Did the supply website recently that we are anticipating a new Dutch available on November 4th to six but its going to continue to be sporadic, but we do see some product coming soon.
Jason Matthew Gerberry: Thank you for taking my questions. Question just for Bruce: can you comment maybe on what's going on with the supply situation with Erwin Ace? $20 million is probably the lowest I've ever seen from this product, and it looks like a bit of a dislocation.
Great. Thank you.
Next one is from Annabel Samimy from Stifel.
No lives.
Hi, Thanks for taking my question and congratulations on launches that socket that was that was great can you maybe give us a sense. If there was any initial stocking into the challenge or if it was all driven oh demand, specifically pent up demand and does that mean that there's going to be a decline.
Bruce C. Cozadd: And I realize that you're kind of in a sensitive position with the unwind of the contract end of year with PBL, but I think it's important for investors to think about the competitive dynamics that JCP 458 could be launching into next year. So can you provide any additional color on perhaps what's going on with the supply situation? Yeah, Jason, good, good question.
Quarter and.
If you could just give us a little bit of granularity or what underlying command represents in terms of patient cycles per patient average price per cycle I'm, just how that looks like.
Bruce C. Cozadd: And the important thing here is to just separate in your mind supply and demand. Uh, you know, there is still absolute demand for Erwinia asparaginase, and we're doing everything we can to make sure we provide as much supply to the market as possible. It's just been erratic in terms of when we have lots that can be distributed.
So Dan do you want to jump in on this yeah.
Yeah.
If you listen carefully the script, what we're saying is there was a a bolus as we expected third one fourth line.
And the good news was you know there was some benefit for those patients, but it's really good.
That ends up so could it be standard of care for relapsed second line patients and that's.
Daniel N. Swisher: I am when they, you know, are available, they are dispersed quickly to help. Patients Who Need the Product, uh... so we think uh... you know it's even more important than we would have said a year or two ago that we have a reliable, high-quality Transcription by CastingWords, more modernly manufactured product that will reliably meet the needs of patients both in the U.S. and then, over time, in all markets. So we're we're doing everything we can I'm just uh... you know each batch takes quite some time to work it through the quality system with the FDA, in particular in the United States, and we do keep our customers updated on the supply website. We are anticipating a new batch. It's going to continue to be sporadic. Great, thank you. The next one is from Annabel Samy from SPIEFL. You are now live.
We're what we're penetrating into and there's still plenty of room for growth and so you know third line et cetera will fall off as more and more patients in second line have that exposure, but you shouldn't anticipate a quarter over quarter decline.
Any granularity on the cycles are patients or.
Average price per cycle not not so much right now I mean, it's a it's not a prescription data takes a little bit of time to collect.
Collect the claims based data so we've got some window on July and we'll have more as a each each month goes on but anecdotally. We're hearing you know good.
Good uptake in both platinum sensitive and platinum resistant patients and platinum sensitive, it's where you expect longer duration of therapy as well as.
You know better prognosis and better chance for response.
Great. So if I heard correctly, it's all bolus and not necessarily inventory.
Correct.
Correct. Thank you.
Next one on the Q is below 8% from Barclays you would all lives.
Hi, Thanks for taking my questions question. So falling opens up sell guys. So just wondering on time and more about your commercial of course, right now and how we should think about the cadence of accounts being converted as we think about the next couple of quarters. So clunky archstone agent rent a car.
Annabel Eva Samimy: Hi, thanks for taking my question. Congratulations on the launch of Celka. That was great.
Daniel N. Swisher: Can you maybe give us a sense if there was any initial stocking into the channels or if it was all demand, specifically pent-up demand? And does that mean that there's going to be a decline next quarter, and you know if you could just give us a little bit of granularity of what the underlying demand represents in terms of patient cycles per patient, average price per cycle, just how that looks. Thanks. So Dan, do you want to jump in on this? Yeah, if you listen carefully to the script, what we were saying is there was a bolus, as we expected, third line, fourth line.
Oh when would you go for a broader reach thanks.
Jim.
Hi, Yeah, I'm really we're calling on all the accounts and providers that we think are a valuable we're not starting you know with a subset so really what we're seeing in terms of.
Demand for that Delta is I believe driven by the whole sense that the accounts have ready ready to begin along with the awareness that we've created so not looking to really expand that to continue to try to educate and reach those accounts and generate awareness.
Yes.
Great next one on the Q is I guess two are you from Wolfe Research you know lives.
Daniel N. Swisher: And the good news was, you know, there was some benefit for those patients, but it's really... Getting Zipsel could be standard of care for relapsed second-line patients, and that we're what we're penetrating into, and there's still plenty of room for growth. So, you know, third line, et cetera, will fall off. There are more and more patients in second line have that But you shouldn't anticipate a quarter over quarter. Any granularity on the cycles or patients or average price per cycle? Not so much right now. I mean, it's not like prescription data.
I think that much. So for 2021, I think die wave estimates are about $280 million and that's kind of been buying a 50% switch from dimes and die wave onto next year, you mentioned that some patients we'll wait for a new script before switching over what percent of those late adopters make up that 1.7 billion of sodium oxybate sales right now.
What do you think about it implied switch cadence of about 50% and then just very quickly on GDP for you for your slide mentioned today still in phase, one where do we stand on enrollment and data read out for that program and when would we know whether you're taking it to phase three trial. Thanks.
Daniel N. Swisher: It takes a little bit of time to, you know, collect the claims-based data. So we've got some window for July, and we'll have more as each month goes on. But anecdotally, we're hearing... You know, good uptake in both platinum-sensitive and platinum-resistant patients. Platinum sensitive is where you expect a longer duration of therapy as well as a better prognosis and better chance of recovery
Yeah Kosh no no update on three to four today. So we don't have additional information to give on the Xyrem ASI wave dynamic for 2021, obviously, we have not given guidance for 2021, yet and we'll plan to do that in late February on our year end call.
The estimates that are out there you know didn't come from US I think you heard the comments in today's call about we expect this adoption to supply wave to happen overtime. We think it's important to educate both patients and physicians about the benefits of Flyways.
Daniel N. Swisher: Okay, so if I heard correctly, it's all bullets and not necessarily inventory. [inaudible] Next one on the queue is Balaji Prasad from Barclays. You are now live. Hi, thank you for taking my question. So following up on ZipZilk itself, I just want to understand more about your commercial efforts right now and how we should think about the cadence of accounts being converted as we think about the next couple of quarters. So currently, you're at around 800 accounts. When would you go for a broader reach?
Of course from a financial perspective, or whether we have patients on xyrem or Z wave next year is not as big a driver of our financial results relative to 2020 as for examples absaloka or the fortune 58 launch where the launch in idiopathic hyper samia or growth in Sanofi.
In our other assets show.
You know it will play out over time, we have shut the longer term goal of getting to a.
Balaji V. Prasad: Thanks. Kim, Hi, yeah, um, really, we are calling on all the accounts and providers that we think are valuable. We're not starting, you know, with a subset.
You know a majority of all Oxybate patients on July waves in 2023, but we have not yet given a specific target for 2021.
Thank you very helpful.
The next one on the Q is Gregg Gilbert from Treasury Securities you know lives.
Kim Sablich: So really, what we're seeing in terms of demand for that ZELTA is, I believe, driven by the patients that the accounts have ready and willing to begin along with the awareness that we've created. So not looking to really expand that, but to continue to try to educate and reach those accounts and generate awareness. Right, next one on the queue is Akash Tewari from Wolf Research. You are now live. Thanks so much.
Thank you up back to four or five years I think it's probably for Robyn for Dan to some degree I just would like you to confirm that all aspects of the four or five eight development or trial are on track and also how quickly can you make a product and are you already making product to meet demand and.
And when can you begin to play offense in terms of looking at additional geography is an indication that.
Thanks.
I mean short and robbing me, yes, we consider the program is is on track.
Akash Tewari: So for 2021, I think ZyWave estimates are about 280 million, and that's kind of implying a 50% switch from ZyWave to ZyWave Plus for next year. You mentioned that some patients will wait for a new script before switching over. What percent of those late adopters make up that 1.7 billion in sodium phosphate sales right now? And what do you think about an implied switch cadence of about 15%?
And Dan you want to talk about supplier, yeah, and that was a key factor in working out the recombinant system is to make sure we've got a a quality and modern process and.
We're already at commercial scale, and we have tens of thousands of vials.
Actually that have been generated would be available for a commercial launch that were part of will be part of the regulatory package.
Does that mean, you can meet all demand as soon as it's approved.
Bruce C. Cozadd: And then just very quickly on JCP324, as you mentioned in your slides today, it's still in phase one. Where do we stand on enrollment and data readout for that program? And when will we know whether you're taking it to phase three trials? Thanks. Yeah, Akash, no, no update on 324 today.
Yeah within reason, but yes.
Thank you.
Next one on the line is just people flying from JP Morgan.
No lives.
Hi, good afternoon, Thanks for taking my question.
For Q3.
3.5, you concluded the healthy volunteer study of the modified release formulation can you elaborate on those bulk there and in particular are you confident in the safety and Tolerability as this molecule.
Yeah, Rob are filled you want to take that.
That's great I can take that thank you Bruce.
Bruce C. Cozadd: So we don't have any additional information to give on the Xyrem and Xywave dynamic for 2021. Obviously, we have not given guidance for 2021 yet. We'll plan to do that in late February on our year-end call. The estimates that are out there, you know, didn't come from us.
Yes, so weve completed the study conduct but we don't have the results. He had actually you hope that to that.
That study.
And the the goal of the modified release formulation was to have a.
Product that could be taken once a day and be better tolerated, but we did not have results.
At this point in time.
Okay.
Keep your excellent on the Q is David Bruce Injure from Morgan Stanley. Your line is open.
Bruce C. Cozadd: I think you heard the comments in today's call about how we expect this adoption of ZyWave to happen over time. We think it's important to educate both patients and physicians about the benefits of ZyWave. Of course, from a financial perspective, whether we have patients on Xyrem or Xywave next year is not as big a driver of our financial results relative to 2020 as, for example, Zepzelka or the 458 launch or the launch in idiopathic hypersomnia or growth in Cenosi and our other assets. Uh... it'll play out over time. We have set the longer-term goal of getting to Thank you very much.
Yes, thanks, very much and congrats on the performance so.
Bruce I just wanted to ask you.
To basically paint a picture.
For how you see the 2023 time frame and the reason is that.
Jazz shares are trading at a high single digit P.E. unexpected 2021, EPS due to concerns about a feared xyrem cliff.
And I think it would be helpful for you to frame how you see the evolution of the company's financial performance as it faces Xyrem generics in a few years. Thank you.
Yeah, Thanks, David and really good question.
You know, we're we're really focused on a couple of things to diversify the business over time and while we have every.
Intention of performing well this year and next year a lot of what we're doing is designed to position us well in future years, including our goal to have about half of our total revenues come from newly launched products by 2022, and our goal to have a majority of all oxybate.
Greg Gilbert: Next one on the queue is Greg Gilbert from Tourist Securities. You are now live. Thank you. Back to 458. I think it's probably for Rob and for Dan to some degree. I just would like you to confirm that all aspects of the 458 development or trial are on track. And also, how quickly can you make a product? And are you already making product to meet demand? And when can you begin to play offense in terms of looking at additional geographies and indications?
Eight.
Patients.
Beyond July wave and 2023. So you can think about that Oxybate franchise is as a the first piece of value creation, which is how well do we do with high waves and continuing to grow the market.
Robert Iannone: I mean, short answer for me: yes, we consider the program is on track. And Dan, do you want to talk about supply? Yeah, that was a key factor in working up a recombinant system to make sure we've got a quality and modern process. We're already at commercial scale, and we have tens of thousands of vials. Actually, those have been generated and would be available for a commercial launch that will be part of the regulatory package. Does that mean you can meet all demand as soon as it's approved? Yeah, within reason, but yes.
As we've talked about with the potential of an IDH launch next year.
The second piece is what do we do with the rest of our portfolio how do we do with Selco.
And so no C and four or five eights.
And other opportunities in terms of growing those.
And then bringing force.
New products from our portfolio, including some mid stage programs that we featured in todays call, but I don't want people to Miss the third piece too which is continuing to put our.
Daniel N. Swisher: Next one on the line is Jessica Fye from JP Morgan. You are now live. Guys, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. For JCP385, you completed the healthy volunteer study of the modified release formulation. Can you elaborate on the results there? And, in particular, are you confident in the safety and tolerability of this molecule?
Capital to work in broadening our opportunity set both.
Things like is EPS, all called <unk>, where we did a deal on launched within months as well as things that are earlier in clinical development and while they might not be on the market in a few years could be generating key clinical data that will help people to value that pipeline. So I.
Jessica Fye: Yeah, Rob or Phil, do you want to take that? Great, I can take that. Thank you, Bruce. Yes, so we've completed the study conduct, but we don't actually have the results of that study yet. And the goal of the modified release formulation was to have a product that could be taken once a day and be better tolerated.
I really feel like in each of those buckets were performing well right now and all of those contribute in our mind to a sustainable growth strategy over the longer term.
Thank you.
Next question comes from the line of Gregg from Goldman Sachs Your normalized.
Great. Thank you thanks for taking my questions and congrats on a great quarter.
Robert Iannone: But we do not have results at this point in time. Okay, next one on the queue is David Rissinger from Morgan Stanley. Your line is now open.
I've got two if I could just one we've seen just from a BD perspective, obviously, some interesting earlier stage deals.
And I'm wondering having added Zilka witchcraft was more near term in terms of revenue.
David A. Amsellem: Yes, thanks very much. And congratulations on the performance. So, Bruce, I just wanted to ask you to basically paint a picture for how you see the 2023 timeframe. And the reason is that Jazz shares are trading at a high single-digit PE on expected 2021 EPS due to concerns about a feared Xyrem cliff. And I think it would be helpful for you to frame how you see the evolution of the company's financial performance as it faces Xyrem Generics in a few years. Thank you. Yeah, thanks, David. And a really good question.
How should we be thinking about the would be looking to fill across.
The different developmental stages or is there more of a.
A desire to focus maybe on the mid or early stage pipeline. So that's my first question is just on my second question and as you think about new products such as the spring works PTSD asset.
How do you think about the synergies.
Synergies from a commercialization perspective, so or PTSD I don't know what the natural.
Selling capability is and whether you'd have to incrementally grow off of that so just any thoughts on how you think about that BT perspective. Thanks.
Bruce C. Cozadd: You know, we're really focused on a couple of things to diversify the business over time. And while we have every intention of performing well this year and next year, a lot of what we're doing is designed to position us well in future years, including our goal to have about half of our total revenues come from newly launched products by 2022. And our goal is to have a majority of all Oxybate patients, Beyond Zywave, in 2023.
Great I'll take that.
This is Renee great question, so with respect to corporate development, you know our strategy hasn't really changed in the sense that we're continuing to look at highly differentiated durable assets that can provide meaningful clinical benefit for patients as we think about than the stage of the pipeline we.
Bruce C. Cozadd: So you can think about that Oxibate franchise as the first piece of value creation, which is how well we do with Zywave and continue to grow the market, as we've talked about with the potential of an IH launch next year. The second piece is how do we do with the rest of our portfolio? How do we do with Epsilca and Sanosi and 458?
We're focused on different parts of the pipeline. So we you will probably see US continue to do some early deals as well as some mid stage deals being able to bring in a phase two ready asset in the fall inhibitor for for spring works with a nice strategic asset for us to continue to.
Bruce C. Cozadd: and other opportunities in terms of growing those, and then bringing forth new products from our portfolio, including some of the mid-stage programs that we featured in today's call. But I don't want people to miss the third piece too, which is continuing to put capital to work in broadening our opportunity set. Things like Zepzolco, where we did a deal and launched within months, as well as things that are earlier in clinical development, and while they might not be on the market in a few years, could be generating key clinical data that will help people to value that pipeline. So, I really feel like in each of those Thank you. The next question comes from the line of Craig from Goldman Sachs. You are now live. Great, thank you. Thanks for taking my questions and congrats on a great quarter. I've got two, but if I could, I'd have more.
Allow that midstage portfolio.
But I'd say, we're also looking specifically at transformative transactions, where we could leverage up our balance sheet leverage our balance sheet cash <unk> and infrastructure to acquire an on market assets were looking at M&A as well, but as you know those are larger deal opportunities are just.
Fewer in nature, and so were much more calculated in terms of how we think about what would be most strategically advantageous for us and also how do we most appropriately leverage our balance sheet in order to be able to take on something that can also.
Enhance the durability that Bruce described with respect to the long term diversified revenue base that we're trying to establish so I would say, we're looking fairly broadly both for pipeline augmentation and then also a mirror and on market.
Opportunities, where we could leverage that a commercial infrastructure that we have globally.
Craig: Just one, you know; we've seen Jazz, from a business development perspective, do some interesting earlier stage deals. And I'm wondering, having added Zilka, which perhaps was more near term in terms of revenue, how should we be thinking about BD? Will it be looking to fill across the different developmental stages, or is there more of a desire to focus maybe on the mid or early stage pipeline? So that's my first question and, just on my second question, and as you think about new products such as the SpringWorks PTSD asset, how do you think about synergies from a commercialization perspective? So, you know, for PTSD, I don't know what the natural...
To be able to continue to make it more effective and profitable from a financial perspective.
With respect to the commercial piece.
We do think that when we look at P.T.S.T. as Rob had described this is a high unmet need area and we have capabilities internally, where we've been focused on P.T.S.D. as an indication of interest.
And while we would need to to expand some of our commercial activities in order to support this in the future.
We look at this as something that if we get through a phase two study and this is positive then you can also build around that portfolio over time, because there is such a large unmet need and a meaningful market opportunity.
Renee Gala: Selling capabilities and whether you'd have to incrementally grow off of that. So just any thoughts on how you think about that from a business development perspective. Thanks. Great, I'll take that. This is Renee. Great question.
Okay.
And operator next question in the queue will be our last question.
Renee Gala: So with respect to corporate development, you know, our strategy hasn't really changed in the sense that we're continuing to look at highly differentiated durable assets that can provide meaningful clinical benefits for patients. As we think about the stage of the pipeline, we are focused on different parts of the pipeline. So you will probably see us continue to do some early deals as well as some mid-stage deals. Being able to bring in a phase two ready asset in the fall inhibitor for spring works was a nice strategic asset for us to continue to fill out that mid-stage portfolio. But I'd say we're also looking specifically at transformative transactions where we could leverage up our balance sheet, leverage our balance sheet cash flow and infrastructure to acquire an on-market asset. We're looking at M&A as well, but as you know, those larger deal opportunities are just fewer in nature.
Okay. So for the last question, we do have David Steinberg from Jefferies. Your normalized.
Thanks, I have an additional question on Zipsor milk and want to drill down and some of the components of the 37 million you reported for Q3, specifically you highlighted the fact that when one of the reasons for that really strong initial quarterly sales.
Sure Pent up demand in third and fourth line.
And so but I don't recall that you gave us an actual split second line versus the others.
If not could you give us that break down or some rough approximation there. Thanks.
Yeah. David This is Bruce I'll, just I'll just come back and say we have data from like the first months of launch that would help us understand where the product was used and we don't have.
More recent data so we really can't give you a for the quarters your was the percentage.
Hi, as Kim said, we are seeing good use in second line.
Renee Gala: So we're much more calculated in terms of what would be most strategically advantageous for us and also how we most appropriately leverage our balance sheet in order to be able to take on something that can also enhance the durability that Bruce described with respect to the long-term diversified revenue base that we're trying to establish. So I would say we're looking fairly broadly, both for pipeline augmentation and then also near and on market opportunities where we could leverage that commercial infrastructure that we have globally to be able to continue to make it more effective and profitable from a financial perspective. With respect to the commercial piece, we do think that when we look at PTSD, as Rob described, this is a high unmet need area. We have capabilities internally where we've been focused on PTSD as an indication of interest.
Hi in growth in the number of accounts ordering so we feel good about where we are in the launch of this product as we continue.
Take the message out to the field, so really happy with.
How were doing just a few months into a new launch.
And I would just have to just have to wrap up my comments by saying really pleased with how the company overall is performing across the commercial portfolio and making rapid progress on our R&D programs. So I think you know.
We were pleased to give the update today, we've got a lot ahead of US was I waved just launching today and some near term.
Submissions coming.
In four or five eight and on the I.H. side. So still lot of work ahead of us.
Well, we finished the year, but you know a really great third quarter.
Yes, there are no further questions on the queue all of those turn the call back to Kathy was true.
Renee Gala: And while we would need to expand some of our commercial activities in order to support this in the future, we look at this as something that if we get through a phase two study and this is positive, then you can also build around that portfolio over time because there is such a large unmet need and a meaningful market opportunity. Operator, this next question in the queue will be our last question. Okay, so for the last question, we do have David Steinberg from Jefferies. You are now live. Thanks. I have an additional question about ZipZilk.
Well. Thank you Tina. Thank you again for joining US today, we will be participating in the Jefferies Virtual London Healthcare Conference later, this month and hope to speak with many of you. This now ends our call.
Ladies and gentlemen. This concludes today's conference call you may now disconnect.
[music].
David Steinberg: I want to drill down on some of the components of the $37 million you reported for Q3. Specifically, you highlighted the fact that one of the reasons for the really strong initial quarterly sales was pent-up demand in third and fourth lines. And so on, but I don't recall that you gave us an actual split of second line versus the others. If not, could you give us that breakdown or some rough approximation thereof?
Bruce C. Cozadd: Thanks. Yeah, David, this is Bruce. I'll just I'll just come back and say we have data from like the first month of launch that would help us. We don't have more recent data, so we really can't give you a percentage for the quarter here with the percentage. As Kim said, we are seeing good use on the second line with growth in the number of accounts ordering. So we feel good about where we are in the launch of this product as we continue to take the message out to the field. And we are really happy with how we are doing just a few months into a new launch. And I would just have to wrap up my comments by saying I am really pleased with how the company overall is performing across the commercial portfolio and making rapid progress on our R&D program. So I think we were pleased to give the update today. We've got a lot ahead of us with Zywave just launching today, and near-term submissions coming in 4, 5, 8 and on the IH side, so still a lot of work ahead of us before we finish the year. But a really great third quarter.
Kathy Wittron: Okay, and there are no further questions in the queue. I will now turn the call back to Kathy Wittron. Well, thank you, Gina. Thank you again for joining us today. We will be participating in the Jeffreys Virtual London Healthcare Conference later this month and hope to speak with many of you. This now ends our call. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes today's conference. Call you may now disconnect. BF-WATCH TV 2021
