Speaker #5: Thanks, Chinmay, and thanks, everyone, for joining today. As always, these calls are where we communicate relevant aspects of our business to investors, and so we welcome your questions and feedback.
Neil Kumar: Thanks, Chinmay, and thanks everyone for joining today. As always, these calls are where we communicate relevant aspects of our business to investors, so we welcome your questions and feedback. In sessions past, we have had occasion to marry comments on the portfolio with comments regarding financing and strategy. Today, however, I want to focus entirely on the portfolio itself and the progress being made across research, development, and commercial. I am going to do so because I believe, as I hope you might appreciate at the end of my somewhat lengthy comments, that this is an important transition point for BridgeBio, one in which, if we continue executing at a high level, sets us up well for delivering substantial returns for patients and investors alike. Put more simply, it feels like we are at T equals zero in BridgeBio's next chapter.

Speaker #5: One in which, if we continue executing at a high level, sets us up well for delivering substantial returns for patients and investors alike. Put more simply, it feels like we're at T equals zero in BridgeBio's next chapter.
Speaker #5: I don't say this glibly, but rather due to the following and overlapping advances. First, as we will discuss, the combination of learnings from CardioTransformer, our own unique kidney-protective data, and extraordinary real-world evidentiary results come together to provide the basis of what I'm calling Launch 2.0 for Attruby.
Neil Kumar: I do not say this glibly, but rather due to the following and overlapping advances. First, as we will discuss, the combination of learnings from CARDIO-TTRansform, our own unique kidney protective data, and extraordinary real-world evidentiary results come together to provide the basis of what I am calling Launch 2.0 for Attruby. I believe we will start to see significant commercial fruit from this in the six to nine-month range and beyond, judging from analogs. We think the market is shaping up to be a stabilizer-first market with a constrained number of competitors and one in which we have increasing numbers of proof points that our near complete stabilizer is superior to Pfizer's partial stabilizer. Second, all three NDAs for LGMD2I, ADH1, and achondroplasia have been submitted, with LGMD2I and ADH1 garnering priority review and are hoping that achondroplasia might too.

Speaker #5: Second, all three NDAs for LGMD2i, ADH1, and A contraplasia have been submitted, with LGMD2i and ADH1 garnering priority review, and our hope being that A contraplasia might too.
Speaker #5: Our commercial readiness work is on track, even ahead of what we were able to do with ATTR cardiomyopathy, given our relatively lean resourcing at the time.
Neil Kumar: Our commercial readiness work is on track, even ahead of what we were able to do with ATTR cardiomyopathy, given our relatively lean resourcing at the time to deliver strong launches. Third, our chronic hypoparathyroid phase III, which we believe is overlooked, has commenced and will read out in the next 18 months with potential to provide a differentiated efficacy and safety profile, as we will discuss, in addition to being the only oral in the space. Finally, we anticipate novel trials in areas like Turner syndrome and hypochondroplasia for infigratinib, a new trial in a to-be-disclosed hyperuricemic orphan kidney disease for acoramidis, and the advancement of a potentially best-in-class TTR antibody into the clinic in the coming 12 to 18 months. All of this activity together provides a substrate for well over USD 10 billion in risk-adjusted revenue, with USD 8 billion of that being post phase III to date.

Speaker #5: Finally, we anticipate novel trials in areas like Turner and hypochondroplasia for Infogratna, a new trial in a 2B disclosed high proteinuric orphan kidney disease for Akker amidus, and the advancement of a potentially best-in-class TTR antibody into the clinic in the coming 12 to 18 months.

Speaker #5: All of this activity together provides a substrate for well over $10 billion in risk-adjusted revenue, with $8 billion of that being post–phase three today.
Speaker #5: In addition, our interest in earlier but still advanced genetic medicine R&D within our gondola pipeline continues to bear fruit. So, this is a company with no dearth of pragmatic ideas that can drive a continued flux of important medicines on a risk-adjusted basis for the next decade or more to come.
Neil Kumar: In addition, our interest in earlier but still advanced genetic medicine R&D within our GondolaBio pipeline continue to bear fruit. This is a company with no dearth of pragmatic ideas that can drive a continued flux of important medicines on a risk-adjusted basis for the next decade or more to come. I'll begin my portfolio comments with Attruby. First, and most importantly, we observed continued commercial momentum this quarter, with Attruby being the fastest-growing brand in the space at 23%. This growth does not account for the impacts of CARDIO-TTRansform, our kidney data, and most of the real-world evidence data to date, since that occurred after the quarter end. We've always said that the most important thing commercially and medically in this whole space is diagnosing new patients.

Speaker #5: I'll begin my portfolio comments with the Truby. First and most importantly, we observed continued commercial momentum this quarter, with a Truby being the fastest growing brand in the space at 23%, and this growth does not account for the impacts of cardio transformer, our kidney data, and most of the real-world evidence data to date, since that occurred after the quarter end.
Speaker #5: We've always said that the most important thing, commercially and medically, in this whole space is diagnosing new patients. To that end, we were heartened to see the substantial overall market growth of 19% this quarter, representing a 51% increase year on year and substantially outstripping the market growth observed in the last three quarters.
Neil Kumar: To that end, we were heartened to see the substantial overall market growth of 19% this quarter, representing a 51% increase year-on-year and substantially outstripping the market growth observed in the last three quarters. Consistent with these numbers is the growth in frontline patients, where stabilizers have dominated share, a trend that we think will strengthen as we learn more from CARDIO-TTRansform's important results. Indeed, we observed a slight downtick in numbers of second-line patients in the Q2. We believe our share in frontline has grown some 2 to 3 percentage points, although it's hard to tell precisely, given some of the inventory dynamics from our competitor, Pfizer. Our gross net also remains within the 30% to 40% that we have indicated previously.

Speaker #5: Our gross tenet also remains within the 30–40% that we have indicated previously. Going forward, we expect that the first-line market will continue to grow, and we intend to continue growing our share in it, which should translate into continued steady sales growth.
Neil Kumar: Going forward, we expect that the first-line market will continue to grow, and we intend to continue growing our share in it, which should translate into continued steady sales growth. Attruby's strongest tailwind, however, is its continually growing clinical differentiation story, driven for the most part by the expanding body of real-world evidence, as well as the now documented renal protective effect. in July of this year, we published in Circulation: Heart Failure on acoramidis, driving the first ever early and sustained direct kidney protective effects in ATTR cardiomyopathy, including chronic eGFR slope improvement and urinary albumin to creatinine ratio reduction. The upshot of this is that Attruby may protect the heart and the kidney simultaneously in ATTR patients, a hemodynamically mediated effect which we do not observe with other ATTR cardiomyopathy medicines, either knockdowns or other stabilizers.

Speaker #5: The upshot of this is that a Truby may protect the heart and the kidney simultaneously in ATTR patients, a hemodynamically mediated effect which we do not observe with other ATTR cardiomyopathic medicines, either knockdowns or other stabilizers.
Speaker #5: Critically, as pointed out in the paper, the dynamics of this effect mirror the early separation uniquely observed with Truby in terms of clinical outcomes, helping to explain this early impact.
Neil Kumar: Critically, as pointed out in the paper, the dynamics of this effect mirror the early separation uniquely observed with Attruby in terms of clinical outcomes, helping to explain this early impact. Furthermore, and intriguingly, the magnitude of the acute dip in eGFR on Attruby is actually important and suggestive of downstream benefit. More specifically, comparing acoramidis versus placebo subgroups with acute eGFR dips greater than or equal to the median of 4.89 mil per meter per 1.73 meters squared favored acoramidis for all-cause mortality or cardiovascular-related hospitalization with a whopping hazard ratio of 0.42 with an associated P value of 0.006, and cardiovascular-related hospitalization alone with a similarly impressive hazard ratio of 0.34 with an associated P value of 0.002. Intriguingly, within the placebo arm, eGFR dips portended worse outcomes. So something initially thought to be a crutch has now been shown to be an important differentiator for our product.

More specifically, comparing acoramidis versus placebo subgroups with acute eGFR dips greater than or equal to the median of 4.89 mL per minute per 1.73 meters squared, favored acoramidis for all-cause mortality or cardiovascular-related hospitalization, with a whopping hazard ratio of 0.42 and an associated p-value of 0.006.
Speaker #5: And cardiovascular-related hospitalization alone had a similarly impressive hazard ratio of 0.34, with an associated p-value of 0.002. Intriguingly, within the placebo arm, eGFR dips portended worse outcomes.
Speaker #5: So, something initially thought to be a crutch has now been shown to be an important differentiator for our product. The observed effect compares favorably to what we see in other kidney-protective cardiac treatments, like SGLT2 inhibitors.
Neil Kumar: The observed effect compares favorably to what we see in other kidney-protective cardiac treatments like SGLT2 inhibitors. In a recently held meeting of nephrologists and cardiologists, one KOL explained to me, "It looks like you have a kidney drug here." Building on that, as referred to above, we intend to further interrogate the signal by conducting clinical studies in an orphan kidney indication. More information on that in the weeks to come. Meanwhile, the generation of real-world evidence continues apace. When one looks at analogs in the cardiovascular space where double-blind head-to-heads were not immediately possible, real-world evidence sets the bedrock of ultimate commercial outperformance. The most storied of these analogs is likely the Eliquis/Xarelto marketplace. Calling back to last quarter, there was an independent propensity-score-matched analysis presented at SCAI and since published, which continues to resonate with physicians.

Speaker #5: The most storied of these analogs is likely the Eliquis/Xarelto marketplace. Calling back to last quarter, there was an independent, propensity score-matched analysis presented at FCAI and since published, which continues to resonate with physicians.
Speaker #5: That analysis associated a Truby with a 37% reduction in composite cardiovascular events and a 34% reduction in hospitalizations at six months, relative to defamatous, with an effect deepening at nine months.
Neil Kumar: That analysis associated Attruby with a 37% reduction in composite cardiovascular events and a 34% reduction in hospitalizations at 6 months relative to tafamidis, with an effect deepening at 9 months. Remarkably, there was no observed clinical outcome that did not favor Attruby versus Vyndamax in all measures except for dizziness and syncope, which statistical significance of less than 0.01 with an N just shy of 600 patients. Building on this data, we have our own now soon to be published and available online today preprint analysis that parenthetically has been downloaded more than 400 times now, showing again Attruby outperformance as compared to Vyndamax. Importantly, in this study, a 34% reduction in diuretic intensification, heart failure, hospitalization, and mortality was observed, again, statistically significantly. Separation is again observed as early as 30 days and continues to improve over time.

Speaker #5: Remarkably, there was no observed clinical outcome that did not favor Truby versus Vindamax in all measures, except for dizziness and syncope, which reached statistical significance of less than 0.01, with an N just shy of 600 patients.
Speaker #5: Building on this data, we have our own soon-to-be-published and available online today preprint analysis, which, parenthetically, has been downloaded more than 400 times now, showing again a Truby outperformance as compared to Vindamax.
Speaker #5: Importantly, in this study, a 34% reduction in diuretic intensification, heart failure hospitalization, and mortality was observed—again, statistically significant. Separation is observed as early as 30 days, and continues to improve over time.
Speaker #5: These types of analyses are what the community has been asking for. Importantly, a large-scale, independent EHR-based analysis will be coming at HFSA. Our hope is that Truby continues to perform well there, and that these several RWE studies will form the basis for decision-making and guideline updates.
Neil Kumar: These types of analyses are what the community has been asking for. Importantly, a large-scale independent EHR-based analysis will be coming at HFSA. Our hope is Attruby continues to perform well there, and that then these several RWE studies will form the basis for decision-making and guideline updates. The growing body of research supporting Attruby's clinical differentiation will take place alongside evidence from other studies in this rapidly evolving field of ATTR cardiomyopathy. last month, as you all know, the top-line results for CARDIO-TTRansform study of eplontersen in ATTR cardiomyopathy read out, and the study did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint, with no benefit observed with combination therapy. At this point, we mostly want to acknowledge that this is a blow to the patients who participated in the trial and their families and the investigators, and we feel for them as part of the ATTR cardiomyopathy community.

Speaker #5: Last month, as you all know, the top-line results for cardio transformer studying of Plonterson in ATTR cardiomyopathy read out, and the study did not meet its primary efficacy endpoint, with no benefit observed with combination therapy.
Speaker #5: At this point, we mostly want to acknowledge that this is a blow to the patients who participated in the trial, their families, and the investigators.
Speaker #5: And we feel for them as part of the ATTR cardiomyopathy community. The case for combination therapy seems, today, null from a trial data perspective.
Neil Kumar: The case for combination therapy seems today null from a trial data perspective. Given the similar degrees of knockdown between eplontersen and patisiran, we will be interested to see how the knockdown performs in 2 settings. Number one, does the monotherapy relative risk reduction continue to underperform what we observe from Attruby at 30 months? And two, does monotherapy knockdown actually not outperform a partial stabilizer in tafamidis, as we actually observed in HELIOS-B? Recall, of course, that in addition to the real-world evidence I just cited, everywhere we looked in our ATTRibute-CM trial, acoramidis outperformed tafamidis. The conclusions of this important study run by AstraZeneca and Ionis, we believe, will likely reinforce the case for stabilizers first.
Neil Kumar: The case for combination therapy seems today null from a trial data perspective. Given the similar degrees of knockdown between eplontersen and patisiran, we will be interested to see how the knockdown performs in 2 settings. Number one, does the monotherapy relative risk reduction continue to underperform what we observe from Attruby at 30 months? And two, does monotherapy knockdown actually not outperform a partial stabilizer in tafamidis, as we actually observed in HELIOS-B? Recall, of course, that in addition to the real-world evidence I just cited, everywhere we looked in our ATTRibute-CM trial, acoramidis outperformed tafamidis. The conclusions of this important study run by AstraZeneca and Ionis, we believe, will likely reinforce the case for stabilizers first.
Speaker #5: Given the similar degrees of knockdown between a Plonterson and Vetriceran, we'll be interested to see how the knockdown performs in two settings. Number one, does the monotherapy relative risk reduction continually to underperform what we observed from a Truby at 30 months?
Speaker #5: And two, does monotherapy knockdown actually not outperform a partial stabilizer in defamatous? As we actually observed in Helios B. Recall, of course, that in addition to the real-world evidence I just cited, everywhere we looked in our Truby trial, Akker amidus outperformed defamatous.
Speaker #5: The conclusions of this important study run by AstraZeneca and Ionis, we believe, will likely reinforce the case for stabilizers first. And if the monotherapy benefit, again, lags in time as observed with Vutrisiran, and in magnitude of effect as compared with eplontersen, we believe this begins to make an even stronger case for using eplontersen first in the second-line setting.
Neil Kumar: If the monotherapy benefit again lags in time, as was observed with patisiran, and in magnitude of effect as compared with Attruby, we believe this begins to make an even stronger case for using Attruby first in the second-line setting. I would like to discuss the three pipeline programs that have moved into regulatory review this quarter and which we are preparing to launch. For BBP-418, our LGMD2I program, the FDA accepted our NDA on 27 May with priority review. The PDUFA date is 27 November 2026, and there is no advisory committee planned. We continue to have positive interactions with the agency. This is in line to be the next approval in our portfolio, and it would be the first approved therapy for LGMD2I, a devastating condition affecting a little more than 1,000 patients in the US alone with significant unmet need.

Speaker #5: Now I'd like to discuss the three pipeline programs that have moved into regulatory review this quarter, and which we are preparing to launch. For BBP-418, our LGMD2i program, the FDA accepted our NDA on May 27th with priority review.
Speaker #5: The PDUFA date is November 27, 2026, and there is no advisory committee planned. We continue to have positive interactions with the agency. This is in line to be the next approval in our portfolio, and it would be the first approved therapy for LGMD2I—a devastating condition affecting a little more than 1,000 patients in the U.S. alone—with significant unmet need.
Speaker #5: There's really no displacing credible competition in this space, with gene therapy really the only other pipeline approach, and it suffers from safety and efficacy issues. Coupled with the fact that too much FKRP is toxic, dosing might well be an issue.
Neil Kumar: There is really no displacing credible competition in this space with gene therapy really the only other pipeline approach, and it suffers from safety and efficacy issues, coupled with the fact that too much FKRP is toxic, so dosing might well be an issue. I will remind everyone as well that the data generated by our program are easily the most profound ever in the LGMD space and perhaps the broader muscular dystrophy space, given that biochemical improvements tied strongly to functional and statistically significant improvements in ambulation, breathing, and other outcomes, and that the drug promoted improvements as opposed to the ever-worsening observations on placebo. From a clinical perspective, our goals are, number 1, to educate broadly on already established data and 2, to reinforce our observations in the non-ambulatory and severe patient population that may initially be reluctant to try anything.

From a clinical perspective, our goals are, number one, to educate broadly on already established data, and two, to reinforce our observations in the non-ambulatory and severe patient population that may initially be reluctant to try anything.
Speaker #5: Recall, we observed remarkably consistent benefit in our trial across ages, degree of severity, and the homozygous and compound heterozygous populations. Building on that, we'll be analyzing whether our established functional impacts also align with some cardiovascular benefit, which affects many patients on the severe end of the spectrum.
Neil Kumar: Recall, we observed remarkably consistent benefit in our trial across ages, degree of severity, and the homozygous and compound heterozygous populations. Building on that, we will be analyzing whether our established functional impacts also marry with some cardiovascular benefit, which affects many patients on the severe end of the spectrum. Our plan is to cut that data and present the results at World Muscle Society in late September, early October, so we are hopeful for a good outcome for the patients we serve there. As we prepare for launch, our neuromuscular commercial and medical field teams are hired, trained, and in the field, and market access is engaging with payers in a pre-approval information exchange. There are approximately 500 genetically confirmed patients today in the United States, with many who remain unidentified and misclassified within the broader LGMD or Becker muscular dystrophy space.

Speaker #5: Our goal is to find every patient who can benefit, and be ready the moment we're able to reach them. Turning to acoramidis for EH1, the FDA accepted our NDA on July 22, with a PDUFA target action date of May 8, 2027, and no advisory committee planned.
Neil Kumar: Our goal is to find every patient who can benefit and be ready the moment we are able to reach them. Turning to encaleret for ADH1, the FDA accepted our NDA on 22 July with a PDUFA target action date of 8 May 2027, and no advisory committee planned. At the end of July, the agency granted priority review, and we have announced that today. We have also submitted our MAA to the EMA on 27 July, and it is under review. Encaleret would be the first therapy approved for ADH1 in both the United States and EU, and we are excited to serve this patient population. Speaking of that population, our patient-finding efforts continue, and more than 2,200 patients have been identified in the ICD-10 claims between October 2023 and June 2026.

Speaker #5: Speaking of that population, our patient-finding efforts continue. And more than 2,200 patients have been identified in the ICD-10 claims between October 2023 and June 2026.
Speaker #5: That is an increase of about 300 since the first quarter, and it's been driven by genetic testing, awareness education, use of the ICD-10 code, and bridge bio-supported family testing events.
Neil Kumar: That is an increase of about 300 since Q1, and it has been driven by genetic testing, awareness education, use of the ICD-10 code, and BridgeBio-supported family testing events. We have also completed enrollment in the first of 4 cohorts in our pediatric ADH1 study and are preparing to open cohort 2. ADH1 approval is the beginning of encaleret's potential, not the end. Chronic hypoparathyroidism affects some 200,000 patients in the US and EU, a blockbuster opportunity in and of itself, where, as discussed last quarter, we see a real appetite for an oral option that corrects both hypocalcemia and hypercalciuria.

Speaker #5: I want to spend a minute on this opportunity, because I think it's been significantly overlooked by investors. First, there may be a belief that PTH replacement is the beginning and end of the game here, with advances around dosing—for instance, going from daily to weekly—being the only salient dynamic for patients.
Neil Kumar: I want to spend a minute on this opportunity because I think it has been overlooked significantly by investors. First, there may be a belief that PTH replacement is the beginning and end of the game here, with advances around dosing, for instance, going from daily to weekly, being the only salient dynamic for patients. That overlooks a couple of key facts. First, the benefits of existing therapy do not importantly extend to normalization of urine calcium, with some 40% of patients not normalizing and some 50% of CHP patients actually being hypercalciuric. Two, there is a well-documented decrease in efficacy of PTH replacement over time, suggesting that other approaches may be important here. Third, perhaps most importantly, there is a need for a drug that spares the impact of PTH-mediated bone issues, especially considering that in a recent survey of 160 patients, 48% of them had osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Speaker #5: And fourth, that many individuals would prefer an oral medicine. I think some way of discounting this opportunity based on likely probability of technical success.
Neil Kumar: And fourth, many individuals would prefer an oral medicine. I think some may have discounted this opportunity based on likely probability of technical success. That, I believe, is a mistake. First, the pathomechanism here is well described. Recall first that the hypercalciuria in chronic HP arises from 3 independent contributors. One, loss of calcium reabsorption at the distal nephron that is PTH driven. Second, decreased calcium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb, that is calcium sensing receptor driven. And third, obviously exacerbation by conventional therapy. Analogous to PTH activity in the kidney to mediate reabsorption of calcium, encaleret's action on the calcium sensing receptor has been shown to increase paracellular reabsorption of calcium in the thick ascending limb by reducing claudin-14 expression, which in turn decreases the amount that integrates into the claudin-16/19 complex, which acts as a calciuria-promoting or blocking component.

Speaker #5: Analogous to PTH activity in the kidney to mediate reabsorption of calcium, in calorate's action on the calcium-sensing receptor has been shown to increase paracellular reabsorption of calcium in the thick ascending limb by reducing clotting 14 expression, which in turn decreases the amount that integrates into the clotting 16, 19 complex, which acts as a calciuria-promoting pore-blocking component.
Speaker #5: This mechanistic rationale helps to explain the observation from our proof-of-concept phase two, where 80% of post-surgical hyperparathyroid patients administered within calorate achieved both normal blood and urine calcium within five days.
Neil Kumar: This mechanistic rationale helps to explain the observation from our proof of concept phase II, where 80% of post-surgical hypoparathyroid patients administered with encaleret achieved both normal blood and urine calcium within 5 days. Okay, so we understand how negative allosteric modulation of the calcium sensing receptor can mechanistically raise serum and lower urine calcium even in a wild type setting. For those of you who do not want to bet on mechanism, recall also there is clinical evidence in the wild type setting that exists for these drugs, namely the extensive data from the legacy clinical development program of encaleret in osteoporosis participants expressing wild type calcium sensing receptor, like the chronic hypoparathyroidism population that we intend to study in the RECLAIM-HP trial. And recall that in that osteoporosis study, the drug demonstrated dose proportional increases in serum calcium at daily doses of 15 milligrams or above.

Speaker #5: Namely, the extensive data from the legacy clinical development program of Encalorate in osteoporosis participants expressing wild-type calcium-sensing receptor, like the chronic hyperparathyroidism population that we intend to study in the reclaim HP trial.
Speaker #5: And recall that in that osteoporosis study, the drug demonstrated dose-proportional increases in serum calcium at daily doses of 15 milligrams or above. So we believe given the endpoints of serum and urine calcium normalization, with all that we've seen and know, and the stability of those endpoints statistically, that we have a high probability of technical success trial on our hands.
Neil Kumar: We believe, given the endpoints of serum and urine calcium normalization, with all that we have seen and know and the stability of those endpoints statistically, that we have a high probability of technical success trial on our hands. Secondly, investors may believe that the opportunity is not near term, but this is a relatively quick trial given the aforementioned endpoints and the rapidity of onset of our drug. As mentioned in our press release, we have already activated our first sites for the RECLAIM trial, our global phase III, and have begun screening with FPI imminent and a trial readout expected in the next 18 months.

Speaker #5: Okay, finally, I'll come to infigratinib, our oral treatment for achondroplasia, where we presented our Phase 3 PROPEL3 results at the International Conference on Children's Bone Health on June 30th and simultaneously published them in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Neil Kumar: Finally, I will come to infigratinib, our oral treatment for achondroplasia, where we presented our phase III PROPEL 3 results at the International Conference on Children's Bone Health on 30 June and simultaneously published them in The New England Journal of Medicine, the only achondroplasia program with phase III results in The New England Journal. Following that publication, I am excited to announce we have submitted our NDA, and we are targeting an MAA submission in Q4 of this year. We hope to see NDA acceptance and ideally priority review in Q4 of 2026, with approval following in mid-2027. Approval would make infigratinib the first FGFR3-targeted oral therapeutic for achondroplasia. On top of its oral dosing advantage, it remains the only therapy with efficacy measures beyond annualized height velocity demonstrated in a placebo-controlled setting at 52 weeks, including proportionality.

On top of its oral dosing advantage, it remains the only therapy with efficacy measures beyond annualized height velocity demonstrated in a placebo-controlled setting at 52 weeks, including proportionality.
Speaker #5: Adding to this, we demonstrated a clear functional differentiator in our Phase 3 results, with a statistically significant 0.37 standard deviation improvement on arm span, with a p-value of less than 0.0001.
Neil Kumar: Adding to this, we demonstrated a clear functional differentiator in our phase III results with a statistically significant 0.37 standard deviation improvement on arm span with a p-value of less than 0.0001. This is the first ever placebo-controlled arm span benefit in an achondroplasia trial. We look forward to presenting more data in H2 of this year and continuing to build infigratinib's scientific story through the pre-approval period. On the commercial front, our Regional Sales Directors and medical affairs personnel are onboarded and the field medical team is fully built. Our RSDs are building teams for meaningful share of voice in a market where two competitors are already present and where we see a real gap, especially in the US, between kids confirmed to have achondroplasia and those on treatment. We continue to think our peak achievable share in this space is above 65%.

Speaker #5: We continue to think our peak achievable share in this space is above 65%. Finally, I also want to mention the critical work occurring off our balance sheet at Gondola Bio, where BridgeBio shareholders retain exposure via our ownership stake and ongoing operational support.
Neil Kumar: Finally, I also want to make mention of the critical work occurring off our balance sheet at GondolaBio, where BridgeBio shareholders retain exposure via our ownership stake and ongoing operational support. Our program in EPP announced positive phase IIa data in June, and following a productive EOP2 meeting with the agency, we will be initiating a phase IIb/III study in Q3 of this year. Critically, given the 80%-plus magnitude of PP9 reduction coupled with the quick onset of action and safe profile, the agency suggested that the 2B could form the basis of registration if PP9 lowering was met statistically and other functional trends lined up with it from the point estimate standpoint. Meanwhile, the rest of the pipeline continues to progress with some 17 programs in indications including ADPKD, alpha-1 antitrypsin, neurofibromatosis type 1, and CMT1A.

Speaker #5: Meanwhile, the rest of the pipeline continues to progress, with some 17 programs and indications, including ADPKD, alpha-1 antitrypsin, neurofibromatosis type 1, and CMT1A. In total, the activity has potential to yield five additional INDs by the end of this year, with around eight clinical proof-of-concept readouts expected in the 2027 to 2028 timeframe.
Neil Kumar: In total, the activity has potential to yield five additional INDs by the end of this year, with some eight clinical proof-of-concept readouts to come in the 2027, 2028 timeframe. Of course, despite all of this, we continue to stay focused on delivering our important medicines to patients in the commercial setting. For more information on that, I will pass it over to Matt.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Neil. Q2 was another strong quarter to demonstrate a consistent growth in the treatment naive segment for Atruvi, as physicians are increasingly starting and keeping patients on Atruvi.
Matt Outten: Thanks, Neil. Q2 was another strong quarter that demonstrated consistent growth in the treatment-naïve segment for Attruby as physicians are increasingly starting and keeping patients on Attruby. Net product revenue was $222.4 million, marking another quarter of $35 million or more of sequential sales increase. I want to spend a moment on the composition of that growth because that is the part that matters most for how we think about the franchise from here. The engine is the first-line. Our first-line share stepped up again in Q2 on a first-line market that held roughly steady quarter-over-quarter, and new patient starts were consistent with the first quarter. That is the durable driver of this franchise, and it is what we are building against. The second line or switch segment is behaving differently, and I want to be clear about it.

Speaker #1: Net product revenue was $222.4 million, marking another quarter of $35 million or more of sequential sales increase. I want to spend a moment on the composition of that growth, because that is the part that matters most for how we think about the franchise from here.
Speaker #1: The engine is the first line. Our first-line share stepped up again in Q2 on a first-line market that held roughly steady quarter over quarter, and new patient starts were consistent with the first quarter.
Speaker #1: That is the durable driver of this franchise, and it is what we are building against. The second line or switch segment is behaving differently.
Speaker #1: And I want to be clear about it. The forced vehicle switching that inflated that pool in the fourth and first quarters has now largely been worked through.
Matt Outten: The forced Vyndaqel switching that inflated that pool in the fourth and first quarters has now largely been worked through. At roughly 18 months post-launch, the switch opportunity is settling into a lower and more normalized steady state. What changed there is the size of the pool, not our performance within it. The shape of our growth is evolving. Continued first-line strength partially offset by a smaller switch market. That is the mix we would expect going forward, and it is the mix we are planning around. Neil covered the clinical differentiation data, so I want to speak to what it is doing commercially because this was a meaningful quarter on that front. The endpoints Neil walked through are the ones practicing cardiologists manage week to week, such as hospitalizations, diuretic escalation, and kidney function.

Speaker #1: The endpoints Neil walked through are the ones practicing cardiologists manage week to week, such as hospitalizations, diuretic escalation, and kidney function. And because much of that work was conducted independently of us, it carries a credibility with physicians and with payers that sponsor-generated data does not.
Matt Outten: Because much of that work was conducted independently of us, it carries a credibility with physicians and with payers that sponsor-generated data does not. We expect additional independent real-world work to read out over the balance of the year. On CARDIO-TTRansform, the outcome was disappointing for patients who had hoped combination therapy would improve on stabilizer monotherapy. What it did do is reinforce stabilization as the first-line standard of care. As the only near-complete stabilizer available, we believe Attruby is well-positioned in that setting. That said, the first line remains competitive, and we expect it to stay that way. Our job is to keep earning share on the strength of the data quarter by quarter. Neil noted last quarter that we expected acoramidis to reach blockbuster status in 2026, and we remain on track for that.

Speaker #1: What it did do is reinforce stabilization as the first-line standard of care. As the only near-complete stabilizer available, we believe Atruvi is well positioned in that setting.
Speaker #1: That said, the first line remains competitive, and we expect it to stay that way. Our job is to keep earning share on the strength of the data, quarter by quarter.
Speaker #1: Neil noted last quarter that we expected Akeramidus to reach blockbuster status in 2026, and we remain on track for that. To be precise, when we talk about what sits inside that number, we are referring to worldwide sales of Akeramidus.
Matt Outten: To be precise about what sits inside of that number, we are referring to worldwide sales of acoramidis, which includes BEYONTTRA sales recorded by our partners outside of the United States. It is not a forecast for the US Attruby net product revenue. For the balance of my time, I want to focus on the three approvals ahead of us. The Attruby launch gave us much of the infrastructure any future launch requires, and we have been hard at work making sure each of these goes as well as that one did. These would be the fourth, fifth, and sixth launches in BridgeBio's history. Let me take them in expected order of approval. First, BBP-418. LGMD2I/R9 has never had an approved therapy. Approval would mark the first for LGMD2I/R9 and the first for any form of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.

Speaker #1: We have submitted a brand name and have conditional acceptance of a proposed proprietary name from the FDA, which we will announce at approval. Our field medical team, sales leadership, and sales team are hired and in the field.
Matt Outten: We have submitted a brand name and have conditional acceptance of a proposed proprietary name from the FDA, which we will announce at approval. Our field medical team, sales leadership, and sales team are hired and in-field. More than 95% of the sales team has prior neurology experience, with an average of 9 years in rare disease. These patients are diagnosed and managed by neurologists and neuromuscular specialists working with a multidisciplinary team, so our target universe is concentrated. Roughly 700 institutions and 5,300 target specialists with priority reach against approximately 150 parent MDA centers. Ahead of any approval, the team is focused on disease state education and genetic testing awareness, and we continue to build a scalable patient identification engine that has already identified eligible patients.

Speaker #1: We are also engaged with payers through pre-approval information exchange so they understand the value story ahead of a decision, and we will bring the same patient support programs that have supported our prior launches.
Matt Outten: We are also engaged with payers through pre-approval information exchange so they understand the value story ahead of the decision, and we will bring the same patient support programs that have supported our prior launches. Second, encaleret in ADH1. At the end of July, the FDA granted priority review for encaleret. The PDUFA target action date is 8 May 2006, and no advisory committee meeting is currently planned. We have built an equally strong field team here, with nearly 90% bringing rare disease experience. ADH1 is a genetically distinct condition driven by gain-of-function mutations in the calcium sensor receptor which causes low serum calcium, low or inappropriately normal PTH, and a more pronounced increase in urine calcium than hypoparathyroidism generally. Encaleret is designed to target that receptor directly with the potential to address both serum and urine calcium.

Speaker #1: In Calorette is designed to target that receptor directly, with the potential to address both serum and urine calcium. If approved, it would be the first therapy specifically indicated for adult and adolescent patients with ADH1.
Matt Outten: If approved, it would be the first therapy specifically indicated for adult and adolescent patients with ADH1. As with BBP-418, we are engaged early with payers so that the clinical rationale is well understood before a decision. Third, infigratinib and achondroplasia. We have submitted the NDA, and we anticipate approval in mid-2027. Unlike the other two launches, infigratinib enters a market where competitors are already established. We have delivered against that kind of setup before. What we hear consistently from families, from our HCP and community steering committees, and from market research is that there is real anticipation for an oral option, and awareness of infigratinib is high. The ability to give this medicine as a small once-daily capsule is about considerably more than convenience.

Speaker #1: And awareness of Infragatin is high. The ability to give this medicine as a small, once-daily capsule is about considerably more than convenience. Aversion to injections is one of the primary barriers keeping families from starting treatment at all, one of the leading reasons they discontinue and a persistent burden on daily routines and family dynamics.
Matt Outten: Aversion to injections is one of the primary barriers keeping families from starting treatment at all, one of the leading reasons they discontinue, and a persistent burden on daily routines and family dynamics. Infigratinib can be swallowed or the capsule can be twisted open and sprinkled over food. No refrigeration, no reconstitution, no working out how to travel with it, no injection site reactions, and no shots. Families and physicians also see the differentiation as more than the capsules. They consistently point to the efficacy in the PROPEL 3 program and, in particular, the proportionality data in the pre-specified 3 to 8-year-old subgroup. Operationally, our commercial infrastructure continues to build, and we are being deliberate here because this community is unique and requires a different kind of support when families are weighing whether to start therapy.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Matt. Good afternoon, everyone. I'll now walk through our financial results for the second quarter of 2026. Our commentary will focus on GAAP financials unless otherwise noted. Total revenues for the second quarter of 2026 were $243.7 million, compared to $110.6 million for the same period in 2025.
Thomas Trimarchi: Thank you, Matt. Good afternoon, everyone. I'll now walk through our financial results for the Q2 2026. Our commentary will focus on GAAP financials unless otherwise noted. Total revenues for the Q2 2026 were $243.7 million, compared to $110.6 million the same period in 2025. The $133.1 million increase was primarily driven by a $150.9 million increase in Attruby net product revenue. Attruby net product revenue in the quarter was $222.4 million, compared to $71.5 million in the same period last year. Royalty revenue increased to $15.4 million compared to $1.6 million in the same period last year, primarily earned from net product sales of BEYONTTRA in the EU and Japan. License and services revenue was $5.8 million compared to $37.4 million in the same period last year, which included a one-time $30 million regulatory milestone recognized under the Alexion agreement following pricing approval in Japan.

Speaker #2: Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $335.7 million, compared to $241.2 million for the same period last year. A $94.5 million increase reflects deliberate and disciplined investment in Atruvi and preparations for three upcoming launches.
Thomas Trimarchi: Total operating expenses for the Q2 2026 were $335.7 million compared to $241.2 million for the same period last year. A $94.5 million increase reflects deliberate and disciplined investment in Attruby and preparations for our three upcoming launches, and was primarily driven by scale-up of sales, marketing, medical affairs, and pre-commercial product supply-related activities. Turning to the operating line. In the Q2, we recorded a $107.1 million loss from operations compared to a $134.3 million loss in the same period last year, an improvement of $27.2 million or approximately 20% year-over-year. Now on to the balance sheet. As of 30 June 2026, our cash equivalents, and marketable securities were $720.2 million.

As of June 30, 2026, our cash-cash equivalents and marginal securities were $720.2 million, subsequent to the quarter-end on July 1st, 2026, we closed a $1 billion preferred equity investment led by Sixtree.
Thomas Trimarchi: Subsequent to the quarter end, on 1 July 2026, we closed a $1 billion preferred equity investment led by Sixth Street with participation from HealthCare Royalty, putting our cash balance at approximately $1.7 billion as of 1 July 2026. We believe our current cash position provides us with a significant runway to fund our operating activities, execute on three potential launches over the next 12 months, and continue to invest in Attruby's commercial growth, all while maintaining the financial discipline we have demonstrated to date. With that, I will turn the call back over to Chinmay.

Speaker #5: Hey, guys. Good evening and congratulations on another strong quarter. It's great to see the more than 35 million in sequential US revenue that Atruvi added again this quarter.
Tyler Van Buren: Hey, guys. Good evening, and congratulations on another strong quarter. It is great to see the more than $35 million in sequential US revenue that Attruby added again this quarter. As the release specifically calls out Attruby growth led by the treatment-naive segment as physicians increasingly start and keep patients on Attruby, can you discuss what is driving that consistency in the first line and perhaps most importantly, given competitive developments, why those drivers are durable? Perhaps you could also layer that in with expectations for the potential impact that the CARDIO-TTRansform failure and upcoming data at ESC could have on Attruby's treatment-naive share as well.

Speaker #5: And perhaps most importantly, given competitive developments, why are those drivers durable? And perhaps you could also layer that in with expectations for the potential impact that the CardioTransform failure and upcoming data at ESC could have on Atruvi's treatment-naive share as well.
Speaker #6: Thanks, Tyler. I'm going to pass it on to Matt to comment on some of the commercial dynamics, and then I'll pass it on to Neil if he wants to add things on Cardio Transform expectations at ESC.
Chinmay Shukla: Thanks, Tyler. I am going to pass it on to Matt to comment on some of the commercial dynamics, then I will pass on to Neil if he wants to add things on CARDIO-TTRansform expectations at ESC.
Chinmay Shukla: Thanks, Tyler. I am going to pass it on to Matt to comment on some of the commercial dynamics, then I will pass on to Neil if he wants to add things on CARDIO-TTRansform expectations at ESC.
Speaker #1: Okay. Thanks for the question, Tyler. I think there are two interesting components here. There's the reason that Atruvi has done so well to date, namely how quickly Atruvi separates from placebo, along with the incredible reduction in hospitalization rates.
Matt Outten: Okay. Thanks for the question, Tyler. I think there are two interesting components here. There is the reason that Attruby has done so well to date, namely how quickly Attruby separates from placebo, along with the incredible reduction in hospitalization rates. Then there is the new data that Neil discussed today. The performance you have seen to date has been rooted in the clinical differentiation story. Now we can add to that with compelling insights from the real-world evidence, kidney data, and CARDIO-TTRansform. This is going to add on to the earlier messaging and continue to push share forward in the future. I will let Neil add on with the CARDIO-TTRansform thoughts.

Speaker #1: And this is going to add on to the earlier messaging and continue to push share forward in the future. And I'll let Neil add on with the cardio transform helps.
Speaker #3: Yeah, thanks, Tyler. I guess I'd just say, I mean, we have to see what the data looks like, but by and large, I would expect that stabilizer frontline will do nothing but gain from the cardio transform data set.
Neil Kumar: Yeah. Thanks, Tyler. I guess I would just say, we have to see what the data looks like. By and large, I would expect that a stabilizer frontline will do nothing but gain from the CARDIO-TTRansform data set. So just be a larger pool. In that pool, I think, to Matt's point, we continue to differentiate, and I think we are going to see the fruit, as I mentioned in my comments, of the real-world evidence, kidney differentiation appear really by H2 from now or so. If you look at analogs, it generally takes about 6 to 9 months to pull through some of this data. Obviously, also dependent on what HFSA was like in terms of the independent RWE analysis.
Neil Kumar: Yeah. Thanks, Tyler. I guess I would just say, we have to see what the data looks like. By and large, I would expect that a stabilizer frontline will do nothing but gain from the CARDIO-TTRansform data set. So just be a larger pool.

Speaker #3: So just be a larger pool. And in that pool, I think, you know, to Matt's point, we continue to differentiate and I think we're going to see the fruit as I mentioned in my comments.
Speaker #3: Of the real-world evidence, kidney differentiation, appear really by kind of like half a year from now or so. If you look at analogs, it generally takes about six to nine months to pull through some of this data.
Speaker #3: Obviously, also dependent on what HFSA looks like in terms of the independent RWE analysis, but everything continues to go the way of Atruvi. I mean, you know, as you well know, it's sort of like as you start to as you start to connect all the dots from biochemistry to serum TTR, every make per deciliter is a 5% decrease in mortality risk at 30 months.
Neil Kumar: If everything continues to go the way of Attruby, as you well know, it is like as you start to connect all the dots from biochemistry to serum TTR, every picogram per deciliter is a 5% decrease in mortality risk at 30 months to all of the real-world evidence against both survival, at least we will see that at HFSA. We saw some hints of that with the Masri and independent MORE data around the time that we launched and hospitalization and ODI, as we mentioned today. I think all of that comes together to say we have a superior stabilizer, and that is really the message we got to continue to hit. My expectation would be that we really hit a positive second derivative here and continue to grow pretty aggressively in the frontline over the coming 12 to 18 months. We will have to see.
Neil Kumar: If everything continues to go the way of Attruby, as you well know, it is like as you start to connect all the dots from biochemistry to serum TTR, every picogram per deciliter is a 5% decrease in mortality risk at 30 months to all of the real-world evidence against both survival, at least we will see that at HFSA.

My expectation would be that we really hit a positive second derivative here and continue to grow pretty aggressively in the frontline over the coming 12 to 18 months. We will have to see.
Speaker #3: To all of the real-world evidence, against both survival at least we'll see that at HFSA. And we saw some hints of that with the Masri and independent Moore data around the time that we launched.
Speaker #3: And hospitalization and ODI as we mentioned today. I think all of that comes together to say we have a superior stabilizer, and that's really the message we get to continue to hit.
Speaker #3: I mean, my expectation would be that we really hit a positive second derivative here and continue to grow pretty aggressively in the frontline. Over the coming 12 to 18 months, let's see.
Speaker #4: We'll go next to Corey Kazimov at Evercore ISI.
Operator: We'll go next to Cory Kasimov at Evercore ISI.
Operator: We'll go next to Cory Kasimov at Evercore ISI.
Cory Kasimov: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. Perhaps not surprisingly, I also want to ask a question regarding CARDIO-TTRansform missing the primary endpoint. At this point, we obviously know there was substantial background stabilizer used, and putting the silencer on top of it didn't improve outcomes. I know you touched on some of this in your prepared remarks, but in your view, does this not only cement stabilizers as kind of the first-line backbone here in future treatment, but also, do you have any feedback at this point from your KOLs and payer discussions as to how prescribing and reimbursement of any combination therapy may evolve from here? Thank you.
Cory Kasimov: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. Perhaps not surprisingly, I also want to ask a question regarding CARDIO-TTRansform missing the primary endpoint. At this point, we obviously know there was substantial background stabilizer used, and putting the silencer on top of it didn't improve outcomes. I know you touched on some of this in your prepared remarks, but in your view, does this not only cement stabilizers as kind of the first-line backbone here in future treatment, but also, do you have any feedback at this point from your KOLs and payer discussions as to how prescribing and reimbursement of any combination therapy may evolve from here? Thank you.
Speaker #5: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. Perhaps not surprisingly, I also want to ask a question regarding Cardio Transform missing the primary endpoint.
Speaker #5: So at this point, we obviously know there was substantial background stabilizer use. And putting the silencer on top of it didn't improve outcomes. So I know you touched on some of this in your prepared remarks, but in your view, does this not only cement stabilizers as kind of the first-line backbone here and future treatment, but also do you have any feedback at this point from your KOLs and payer discussions as to how prescribing and reimbursement of any combination therapy may evolve from here?
Speaker #5: Thank you.
Speaker #3: Yeah, thanks for the question. Maybe I'll start and Matt, you can add on. You know, I'd say it's a little early for us to get feedback from payers.
Neil Kumar: Yeah. Thanks for the question. Maybe I'll start and, Matt, you can add on. I'd say it's a little early for us to get feedback from payers. On the KOL side, for sure, we've been hearing, I think, a bit of surprise, honestly. There are folks that can be convinced with biochemistry and biophysics, but I think a large trial like this convinces a lot of folks and might be changing folks' minds. I do think stabilizer will be an increasingly large part. They already are a large part, but an increasing large part of the frontline, and I think that's where the real action will be in this category. I'd say, the three things that we're looking for with regard to CARDIO-TTRansform, I do think eplontersen and vutrisiran have a very similar knockdown profile.
Neil Kumar: Yeah. Thanks for the question. Maybe I'll start and, Matt, you can add on. I'd say it's a little early for us to get feedback from payers. On the KOL side, for sure, we've been hearing, I think, a bit of surprise, honestly. There are folks that can be convinced with biochemistry and biophysics, but I think a large trial like this convinces a lot of folks and might be changing folks' minds. I do think stabilizer will be an increasingly large part.

I'd say, the three things that we're looking for with regard to CARDIO-TTRansform, I do think eplontersen and vutrisiran have a very similar knockdown profile.
Speaker #3: On the KOL side, for sure. I mean, we've been hearing I think a bit of surprise honestly and there are folks that can be convinced with biochemistry and biophysics, but I think a large trial like this convinces a lot of folks and might be changing folks' minds.
Speaker #3: So I do think stabilizer will be an increasingly large part. They already are a large part, but an increasingly large part of the frontline.
Speaker #3: And I think that's where the real action will be in this category. I'd say, you know, the three things that we're looking for with regard to CardioTransform—I do think aponterson and bohut have a very similar knockdown profile.
Speaker #3: We have to look at the pharmacokinetics. And see whether a Ponterson is slightly superior to Booth because Booth obviously took a long time to get to its mean max knockdown.
Neil Kumar: We have to look at the pharmacokinetics and see whether eplontersen is slightly superior to vutrisiran, because vutrisiran obviously took a long time to get to its mean max knockdown, but that'll be the first thing that will be intriguing to look at. Then within the context of the clinical data, first and foremost, what's the 30-month data look like? Is anyone getting to 340, 250? To Matt's point, how quickly are folks separating in terms of effect? Because I think if you look at the totality of evidence, my suspicion will be that not only do you get the magnitude of relative risk reduction that basically Attruby will look superior at 30 months.
Neil Kumar: We have to look at the pharmacokinetics and see whether eplontersen is slightly superior to vutrisiran, because vutrisiran obviously took a long time to get to its mean max knockdown, but that'll be the first thing that will be intriguing to look at.

Because I think if you look at the totality of evidence, my suspicion will be that not only do you get the magnitude of relative risk reduction that basically Attruby will look superior at 30 months.
Speaker #3: But that'll be the first thing that we'll be intriguing to look at. And then within the context of the clinical data, you know, first and foremost, what's the 30-month data look like?
Speaker #3: Is anyone getting to 340, 350? And to Matt's point, how quickly are folks separating in terms of effect? Because I think if you look at the totality of evidence, my suspicion will be that not only do you get the magnitude of relative risk reduction that basically Atruvi will look superior at 30 months, but if there's no early separation, it really starts to suggest that you ought to be using Atruvi in that switch setting just given both its magnitude of benefit and the early onset.
Neil Kumar: But if there's no early separation, it really starts to suggest that you ought to be using Attruby in that switch setting, just given both magnitude of benefit and the early onset, now well described by this kidney data that we've put out and we'll continue to elaborate on. I think the second super intriguing point will be to see whether or not monotherapy knockdown actually outperforms a partial stabilizer. I have people sometimes, I know you and I have chatted about this, but people sometimes forget that in HELIOS-B, in that with Tellisen et al. Journal of the American College of Cardiology paper, that vutrisiran didn't significantly outperform tafamidis, which was a bit of a head-scratcher to me based on the toxic monomer hypothesis, until you look at the pharmacokinetics.
Neil Kumar: But if there's no early separation, it really starts to suggest that you ought to be using Attruby in that switch setting, just given both magnitude of benefit and the early onset, now well described by this kidney data that we've put out and we'll continue to elaborate on.

Journal of the American College of Cardiology paper, that vutrisiran didn't significantly outperform tafamidis, which was a bit of a head-scratcher to me based on the toxic monomer hypothesis, until you look at the pharmacokinetics.
Speaker #3: Now, well described by this kidney data that we put out and we'll continue to elaborate on. I think the second super intriguing point will be to see whether or not monotherapy knockdown actually outperforms a partial stabilizer.
Speaker #3: You know, I think people—sometimes, I know you and I have chatted about this—but people sometimes forget that in Helios B, in that, what, TeleCentral Jack paper, that Booth didn't significantly outperform TAP, which was a bit of a head-scratcher to me based on the toxic monomer hypothesis.
Speaker #3: Until you look at the pharmacokinetics. And here again, if a knockdown doesn't outperform a partial stabilizer—recall we've got a stabilizer that outperformed TAF in every single part of the ATTRibute trial that we looked at, and in all major RWE studies.
Neil Kumar: And then here again, if a knockdown doesn't outperform a partial stabilizer, look, all we've got is stabilizers that outperform tafamidis in every single part of the Attruby trial that we looked at in all major RWE studies. And so again, starts to establish, I think Attruby is a superior, efficacious agent as compared to both knockdowns and the partial stabilizer of Pfizer. So that'll be the second big thing we're looking for. Matt, is there anything else you'd add?
Neil Kumar: And then here again, if a knockdown doesn't outperform a partial stabilizer, look, all we've got is stabilizers that outperform tafamidis in every single part of the Attruby trial that we looked at in all major RWE studies. And so again, starts to establish, I think Attruby is a superior, efficacious agent as compared to both knockdowns and the partial stabilizer of Pfizer. So that'll be the second big thing we're looking for. Matt, is there anything else you'd add?
Speaker #3: And so again, it starts to establish, I think Atruvi is a superior efficacious agent as compared to both knockdowns and the partial stabilizer. Of Pfizer.
Speaker #3: So that'll be the second big thing we're looking for. Anything else you'd add?
Speaker #1: No, I mean, that's well said. I think we're interested in seeing the full data set at ESC, but certainly the results don't appear to support combination therapy, which just then reinforces stabilization as the backbone of therapy.
Matt Outten: No. That's well said. I think we're interested in seeing the full data set at ESC, but certainly the results don't appear to support combination therapy, which just then reinforces stabilization as the backbone of therapy. And again, your comments, I think, on the partial stabilizer versus a near complete stabilizer, that's where we are, and I don't think anything we see at ESC is going to change that based on the initial results that were posted.
Matt Outten: No. That's well said. I think we're interested in seeing the full data set at ESC, but certainly the results don't appear to support combination therapy, which just then reinforces stabilization as the backbone of therapy. And again, your comments, I think, on the partial stabilizer versus a near complete stabilizer, that's where we are, and I don't think anything we see at ESC is going to change that based on the initial results that were posted.
Speaker #1: And again, your comments, I think, on the partial stabilizer versus a near-complete stabilizer—that's kind of where we are. And I don't think anything we see at ESC is going to change that, based on the initial results that were posted.
Speaker #4: We'll go next to Ellie Morrow at Barclays.
Operator: We'll go next to Eliana Merle at Barclays.
Operator: We'll go next to Eliana Merle at Barclays.
Speaker #6: Hey guys, thanks for taking the question and congrats on all the progress. So the Pfizer release cited net price erosion from new payer contracts.
Eliana Merle: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the question, and congrats on all the progress. The Pfizer release cited net price erosion from new payer contracts, while your gross to net has remained stable within the range you guided to. Given Attruby launched at a list price below tafamidis, do you see any need to respond on price, or is clinical differentiation carrying access and share on its own? Thanks.
Ellie Merle: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking the question, and congrats on all the progress. The Pfizer release cited net price erosion from new payer contracts, while your gross to net has remained stable within the range you guided to. Given Attruby launched at a list price below tafamidis, do you see any need to respond on price, or is clinical differentiation carrying access and share on its own? Thanks.
Speaker #6: While your gross to net has remained stable within the range you guided to, given Atruvi launched at a list price below defamatous, do you see any need to respond on price?
Speaker #6: Or is clinical differentiation carrying access and share on its own? Thanks.
Speaker #3: Yeah, thanks Ellie. That's an important question. I mean, I think we'd like clinical differentiation to continue to carry today here. There's no way that we could respond and meet Pfizer's rebates if they're going to be aggressive in that channel.
Neil Kumar: Yeah. Thanks, Ellie. It's an important question. I think we'd like clinical differentiation to continue to carry the day here. There's no way that we could respond and meet Pfizer's rebates if they're going to be aggressive in that channel. Nor do I think we need to. I think we've had productive discussions with our partners all the way through, based on the channel. They understand what we're trying to accomplish in terms of clinical differentiation, in terms of the added reduction in hospitalizations. This is where the real-world evidence really comes in handy. I mean, a 35% or 34%, in an independent study, reduction in hospitalizations as compared to TAF, that's super meaningful. These are patients that are quite sick, quite expensive, and there's some untoward things that can also happen when you favor one brand over the other.
Neil Kumar: Yeah. Thanks, Ellie. It's an important question. I think we'd like clinical differentiation to continue to carry the day here. There's no way that we could respond and meet Pfizer's rebates if they're going to be aggressive in that channel. Nor do I think we need to.

These are patients that are quite sick, quite expensive, and there's some untoward things that can also happen when you favor one brand over the other.
Speaker #3: Nor do I think we need to. I think we've had productive discussions with our partners all the way through basically the channel. They understand what we're trying to accomplish in terms of clinical differentiation, in terms of the added reduction in hospitalizations.
Speaker #3: Here's where the real-world evidence really comes in handy. I mean, the 35% or 34% in an independent study reduction in hospitalizations as compared to TAP, that's super meaningful.
Speaker #3: These are patients that are quite sick, quite expensive, and there are some untoward things that can also happen when you favor one brand over the other.
Speaker #3: So I think long term, these brands will reach parity generally in terms of access. And then I think clinical differentiation will be where we win.
Neil Kumar: I think long term, these brands will be in parity, generally, in terms of access. Then I think clinical differentiation will be where we win. We do not intend to chase anyone down the rabbit hole of trying to play near-term price dynamic games.
Neil Kumar: I think long term, these brands will be in parity, generally, in terms of access. Then I think clinical differentiation will be where we win. We do not intend to chase anyone down the rabbit hole of trying to play near-term price dynamic games.
Speaker #3: So we do not intend to chase anyone down the rabbit hole of trying to play near-term price dynamic games.
Speaker #4: Our next question comes from Salim Saeed at Mizuho.
Operator: Our next question comes from Salim Syed at Mizuho.
Operator: Our next question comes from Salim Syed at Mizuho.
Speaker #5: Great. Congrats on the quarter guys and thanks for the question. Just one from us on this heart failure publication data on the kidney protection.
Salim Syed: Great. Congrats on the quarter, guys, and thanks for the question. Just one from us on this heart failure publication data on the kidney protection. Obviously, the better stabilizer, everybody knows that. All the real-world curves show that also Attruby is better than tafamidis. Just wondering how this adds into that thinking here. When you guys are talking to physicians, how important is this kidney protection? How meaningful is it in terms of how they're prescribing a stabilizer or choosing a stabilizer? If we drag that forward a little bit, with the list price already being below tafamidis, what does this eventually mean for Attruby as the market evolves and when tafamidis goes generic? Thanks so much.
Salim Syed: Great. Congrats on the quarter, guys, and thanks for the question. Just one from us on this heart failure publication data on the kidney protection. Obviously, the better stabilizer, everybody knows that. All the real-world curves show that also Attruby is better than tafamidis. Just wondering how this adds into that thinking here.

If we drag that forward a little bit, with the list price already being below tafamidis, what does this eventually mean for Attruby as the market evolves and when tafamidis goes generic? Thanks so much.
Speaker #5: So obviously, the better stabilizer, everybody knows that all the real-world curves show that also Atruvi is better than TAP. Just wondering how this adds into sort of that thinking here.
Speaker #5: Like when you guys are talking to physicians, how important is this kidney protection? How meaningful is it in terms of how they're prescribing a stabilizer or choosing a stabilizer?
Speaker #5: And if we kind of like drag that forward a little bit, with the list price already being below TAP, what does this eventually mean for Atruvi as the market evolves and when defaminous goes generic?
Speaker #5: Thanks so much.
Speaker #3: Yeah, Salim, thanks for the question. I'm going to let Matt handle how the kidney data is being received by KOLs and then I'll circle back on the generic question.
Chinmay Shukla: Yeah. Salim, thanks for the question. I am going to let Matt handle how the kidney data is being received by KOLs, and then I will also go back on the generic question. But let Matt kindly talk about differentiation and the kidney data.
Chinmay Shukla: Yeah. Salim, thanks for the question. I am going to let Matt handle how the kidney data is being received by KOLs, and then I will also go back on the generic question. But let Matt kindly talk about differentiation and the kidney data.
Speaker #3: But Matt, why don't you talk about differentiation and the kidney data?
Speaker #1: Yeah, I mean, I think first things to note, this is new. So up to this point, it's been about the 340, 250 as Neil mentioned.
Matt Outten: Yeah. I think first thing to note, this is new. Up to this point, it has been about the 34250, as Neil mentioned. It is about early separation and not only how fast Attruby works, but how well it works, how many people it keeps out of the hospital, how soon you see the curves separate. So that is what has led us through Q2. I think in terms of the kidney data, it is very important to physicians. You are going to see that impact moving forward, which I think that, to me, is probably one of the most exciting things about the call today, because the kidney data has not been out. It is brand new. So you are going to see that impact now as we move forward over the next couple of quarters.
Matt Outten: Yeah. I think first thing to note, this is new. Up to this point, it has been about the 34250, as Neil mentioned. It is about early separation and not only how fast Attruby works, but how well it works, how many people it keeps out of the hospital, how soon you see the curves separate. So that is what has led us through Q2. I think in terms of the kidney data, it is very important to physicians. You are going to see that impact moving forward, which I think that, to me, is probably one of the most exciting things about the call today, because the kidney data has not been out. It is brand new. So you are going to see that impact now as we move forward over the next couple of quarters.
Speaker #1: It's about early separation and not only how fast Atruvi works, but how well it works, how many people it keeps out of the hospital, how soon you see the curves separate.
Speaker #1: So that's what's led us through Q2. I think in terms of the kidney data, it's very important to physicians and you're going to see that impact moving forward, which I think is that to me is probably one of the most exciting things about the call today because the kidney data hasn't been out.
Speaker #1: It's brand new. So you're going to see that impact now as we move forward over the next couple of quarters.
Speaker #3: Yeah, and just to build on that, Salim, I know we've discussed this all pretty quickly, but we do expect the brand to keep growing even after Windamax goes generic in mid-2031 in the US.
Chinmay Shukla: Yeah. Just to build on that, Salim, I know we have discussed this, so I will be pretty quick on this. But we do expect the brand to keep growing even after when tafamidis goes generic in mid-2031 in the US. Really, there are five reasons for it, right? I think the first is Attruby is clinically differentiated. You have heard a lot about that on the call today. That is driving the strength in treatment 90 for us, and I think it is going to keep driving strength there. The second, which I think is less understood by folks, is that stakeholder economics in this market, especially the FPs, they do not largely support a preference for generic. I think you can also see that Pfizer has been successful in defending other franchises.
Chinmay Shukla: Yeah. Just to build on that, Salim, I know we have discussed this, so I will be pretty quick on this. But we do expect the brand to keep growing even after when tafamidis goes generic in mid-2031 in the US. Really, there are five reasons for it, right? I think the first is Attruby is clinically differentiated. You have heard a lot about that on the call today. That is driving the strength in treatment 90 for us, and I think it is going to keep driving strength there. The second, which I think is less understood by folks, is that stakeholder economics in this market, especially the FPs, they do not largely support a preference for generic. I think you can also see that Pfizer has been successful in defending other franchises.
Speaker #3: And really, there are five reasons for it, right? I think the first is that Atruvi is clinically differentiated. You've heard a lot about that on the call today.
Speaker #3: That is driving this trend in treatment 9 years for us. And I think it's going to keep driving this trend here. The second, which I think is less understood by folks, is that stakeholder economics in this market, especially the SPs, they don't largely support a preference for generics.
Speaker #3: I think you can also see that Pfizer is being successful in defending other franchises. And I think that there's a potential for some upside because if Pfizer stops promoting post-LOE, that could increase relative share of voice for Atruvi.
Chinmay Shukla: And I think that there's a potential for some upside because if Pfizer stops promoting for Vyndaqel, that could increase relative share of voice for Attruby. So I think if you look at all of this and you look at all the analysis on analogs, which I know you and Bennett have done a deep dive on it, I think that we expect that even as the post market, less potent stabilizers go generic, a near-complete stabilizer in Attruby is going to keep growing.
Chinmay Shukla: And I think that there's a potential for some upside because if Pfizer stops promoting for Vyndaqel, that could increase relative share of voice for Attruby. So I think if you look at all of this and you look at all the analysis on analogs, which I know you and Bennett have done a deep dive on it, I think that we expect that even as the post market, less potent stabilizers go generic, a near-complete stabilizer in Attruby is going to keep growing.
Speaker #3: I think if you look at all of this, and you look at all the analysis on analogs—which I know you and Bennett have done a deep dive on—I think that we expect that even as the poster market, less potent stabilizer goes generic, the near-complete stabilizer in Atruvi is going to keep growing.
Speaker #1: So can I just build on one point that Matt made? Because I think the kidney data is super fresh. So we're going to have to see in the next six to nine months kind of how it changes.
Neil Kumar: So can I just build on one point that Matt made? Because I think the kidney data is super fresh. So we're going to have to see in the next 6 to 9 months how it changes prescribing behavior. But first and foremost, I think it's important because the actual mechanism of turning down toxic monomer, you wouldn't expect to pick up impact as early as 28 days or one month. So here now you have a viable mechanism by which you have this early onset of efficacy. As I mentioned in my remarks, or I hinted at, it was previously considered a harmful piece of our label. But I think now what you see is the greater that ammunition early, the better off you are later in terms of cardiovascular hospitalization and death.
Neil Kumar: So can I just build on one point that Matt made? Because I think the kidney data is super fresh.

But I think now what you see is the greater that ammunition early, the better off you are later in terms of cardiovascular hospitalization and death.
Speaker #1: Prescribing behavior. But first and foremost, I think it's important because with the actual mechanism of turning down toxic monomer, you wouldn't expect to pick up impact as early as 28 days, or one month.
Speaker #1: So here now you have a viable mechanism by which you have this early onset of efficacy, and as I mentioned in my remarks, or I hinted at, it was previously sort of considered a harmful piece of our label, but I think now what you see is the greater that diminution early, the better off you are later in terms of cardiovascular hospitalization and death.
Speaker #1: So that's also a profound suggestion here. That I think will be very important on a go forward basis. And you got to remember, like 50% of the patients, close to 50% of patients with ACL cardiomyopathy have some sort of kidney involvement.
Neil Kumar: So that's also a profound suggestion here that I think will be very important on a go-forward basis. You've got to remember, close to 50% of patients with ATTR cardiomyopathy have some sort of kidney involvement. So this protective signature is going to be an important piece, we believe, of the emerging story here and potentially an interesting piece in the story as we think we can move Attruby into novel indications.
Neil Kumar: So that's also a profound suggestion here that I think will be very important on a go-forward basis. You've got to remember, close to 50% of patients with ATTR cardiomyopathy have some sort of kidney involvement. So this protective signature is going to be an important piece, we believe, of the emerging story here and potentially an interesting piece in the story as we think we can move Attruby into novel indications.
Speaker #1: So this is an important this protective signature is going to be an important piece, we believe, of the emerging story here. And potentially an interesting piece of the story as if we can move Atruvi into novel indications.
Speaker #4: We'll move to our next question from Andrew Sy at Jefferies.
Operator: We'll move to our next question from Andrew Tsai at Jefferies.
Operator: We'll move to our next question from Andrew Tsai at Jefferies.
Speaker #6: Hey, congrats on the solid execution. Thanks for taking my question. So I think this was a quarter where all three of your pipeline programs moved from the clinic into the regulatory phases.
Andrew Tsai: Hey, congrats on the solid execution. Thanks for taking my question. I think this was a quarter where all three of your pipeline programs moved from the clinic into the regulatory phases. You got LGMD submitted within 5 months of the top line, 2 priority reviews, no AdComms planned. It seems like your relationship with the FDA is quite healthy, but maybe talk to us in detail what your regulatory engagement has been like and how you are feeling about the review timelines from here. I would also be curious about your ex-US interactions, too. Thank you.
Andrew Tsai: Hey, congrats on the solid execution. Thanks for taking my question.

Speaker #6: You got LGMD submitted within five months of the top line, two prior reviews, no ad comms planned. So it seems like your relationship with the FDA is quite healthy, but maybe talk to us in detail what your regulatory engagement has been like and how you're feeling about the review timelines from here.
Speaker #6: I'd also be curious about your XUS interactions too. Thank you.
Neil Kumar: Sure. I am happy to take that. I think first and foremost, as you probably know in the rare disease setting, the gold standard is the ability to run an RCT, a solid RCT with a placebo arm. We have been able to do that across all three indications here and demonstrate profound functional benefits. I think one of the senior administrators at the agency once said that we are the poster child of what one tries to do, at least in the rare disease setting. It is not obviously always going to be the case. For instance, in Canavan disease, we may not be able to run an analogous trial. But certainly for these three datasets with the P values where they are, with the safety where it is. People forget that with these small molecules, we have been able to provide an exquisite safety profile.
Neil Kumar: Sure. I am happy to take that. I think first and foremost, as you probably know in the rare disease setting, the gold standard is the ability to run an RCT, a solid RCT with a placebo arm. We have been able to do that across all three indications here and demonstrate profound functional benefits. I think one of the senior administrators at the agency once said that we are the poster child of what one tries to do, at least in the rare disease setting. It is not obviously always going to be the case. For instance, in Canavan disease, we may not be able to run an analogous trial. But certainly for these three datasets with the P values where they are, with the safety where it is. People forget that with these small molecules, we have been able to provide an exquisite safety profile.
Speaker #1: Sure, I'm happy to take that. I mean, I think first and foremost, as you probably know, in the rare disease setting, kind of the gold standard is the ability to run an RCT—a solid RCT with a placebo arm.
Speaker #1: And we've been able to do that across all three indications here. And demonstrate profound functional benefits. So I think one of the senior administrators at the agency once said that we're kind of the poster child of what one tries to do at least in the rare disease setting.
Speaker #1: It's not obviously always going to be the case. For instance, in Canada disease, we may not be able to run in analogous trials, but certainly for these three data sets with the p-values where they are, with the safety where it is, I mean, people forget that with these small molecules, we've been able to provide an exquisite safety profile.
Speaker #1: So the risk benefit is pretty straightforward as well. So yeah, based on all of that, we've had productive discussions with the agency to date and we look forward to putting into engage them on that front.
Neil Kumar: The risk-benefit is pretty straightforward as well. Based on all of that, we have had productive discussions with the agency to date, and we look forward to continuing to engage them on that front. Similarly, I would say, in Europe as well, there hasn't been a dichotomy between the tenor of our conversations there yet.
Neil Kumar: The risk-benefit is pretty straightforward as well. Based on all of that, we have had productive discussions with the agency to date, and we look forward to continuing to engage them on that front. Similarly, I would say, in Europe as well, there hasn't been a dichotomy between the tenor of our conversations there yet.
Speaker #1: And similarly, I'd say in Europe as well that hasn't been a dichotomy between the tenor of our conversations there yet.
Speaker #4: Our next question comes from Anna Pomp Rama at JPM.
Operator: Our next question comes from Anupam Rama at JPMorgan.
Operator: Our next question comes from Anupam Rama at JPMorgan.
Speaker #5: Hey guys, thanks so much for taking the question. I'm just thinking a little bit about the November 27th PDUFA for BBP-418 and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy.
Anupam Rama: Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking the question. Thinking a little bit about the 27 November PDUFA for BBP-418 and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Sounds like you guys have made a lot of progress here on the field team, the neuromuscular field team being hired, trained, deployed. Can you walk us through what the near-term focus here to be ready on your launch readiness, and then how you are going about identifying more patients heading into PDUFA to go beyond that, I think, 500 patients you talked about being identified today. Thanks so much.
Anupam Rama: Hey, guys. Thanks so much for taking the question. Thinking a little bit about the 27 November PDUFA for BBP-418 and limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Sounds like you guys have made a lot of progress here on the field team, the neuromuscular field team being hired, trained, deployed. Can you walk us through what the near-term focus here to be ready on your launch readiness, and then how you are going about identifying more patients heading into PDUFA to go beyond that, I think, 500 patients you talked about being identified today. Thanks so much.
Speaker #5: Sounds like you guys have made a lot of progress here on the field team—the neuromuscular field team being hired, trained, and deployed. Can you walk us through what the near-term focus is here to be ready on your launch readiness?
Speaker #5: And then how you're going about identifying more patients heading into PDUFA to go beyond that, I think, 500 patients you talked about being identified today.
Speaker #5: Thanks so much.
Speaker #3: Yep. Thanks, Noel. We're going to pass it on to Christine to talk about the Lynn Girdle launch.
Neil Kumar: Yeah. Thanks, Anupam. We are going to pass it on to Christine to talk about the limb-girdle launch.
Neil Kumar: Yeah. Thanks, Anupam. We are going to pass it on to Christine to talk about the limb-girdle launch.
Speaker #7: Hi, Alfam. Just as a reminder, this is an opportunity where we think it's a $1 billion peak sales opportunity. We think there's 7,000 patients in the US and EU with 2 to 3,000 in the US.
Christine Siu: Hi, Anupam. Just as a reminder, this is an opportunity where we think it is a $1 billion peak sales opportunity. We think there are 7,000 patients in the US and EU, with 2,000 to 3,000 in the US. In the US, in terms of launch readiness, we do benefit from having a concentrated patient base, with the majority of patients treated at about 150 NDA centers. As we mentioned, we do have a dedicated sales force that has been fully hired and trained. They are in the field now, really focused on disease state awareness and site profiling before the launch. Our MSLs are also fully trained. They have been in the field for over a month. They are also focused on disease state awareness and increasing the awareness of genetic testing, and that has been key for driving increasing patient ID and genetic testing.
Christine Siu: Hi, Anupam. Just as a reminder, this is an opportunity where we think it is a $1 billion peak sales opportunity.

Speaker #7: In the US, in terms of launch readiness, we do benefit from having a concentrated prescriber base with the majority of patients treated at about 150 NDA centers.
Speaker #7: So as we mentioned, we do have a dedicated sales force that's been fully hired and trained in the field now. Really focused on disease state awareness and site profiling before the launch.
Speaker #7: Our MSLs are also fully trained. They've been in the field for over a month. They've also focused on disease state awareness and increasing the awareness of genetic testing.
Speaker #7: And that's been key for driving increasing patient ID and genetic testing. On the patient side of things, we have identified the over 1,500 patients who are genetically confirmed.
Christine Siu: On the patient side of things, we have identified the over 1,500 patients who are genetically confirmed. That has actually grown over the course of the year, and we would expect it to actually continue growing. We have seen that genetic testing rates have also increased over the past nine months, and that is key to increasing the number of patients that are identified, including the fact that we now have dedicated sales force as well as MSLs in the field driving awareness. There is also a new dedicated ICD-10 code specific for LGMD2I/R9, and that is also going to help with tracking patients and just greater visibility as we commercialize BBP-418. On the payer side of things, this is an area of strength for this launch where we can really maximize access and price. The market research with payers has been consistently positive.

Speaker #7: There's also a new dedicated ICD-10 code specific for LGMDQI/R9. And that's also going to help with tracking patients in just greater visibility as we commercialize these P418.
Speaker #7: On the payer side of things, this is an area of strength for this launch where we can really maximize access and price. The market research with payers has been consistently positive.
Speaker #7: They've been quite receptive to the strength of our data and the unmet needs on the patient side. They view the closest price analog as the Exxon skipping D&D drugs.
Christine Siu: They've been quite receptive to the strength of our data and the unmet needs on the patient side. They view the closest priced analog as the exon-skipping DMD drug as a comparable patient population for them. I guess the one caveat here, they even acknowledge that we have much stronger data because we actually have the functional data. It's not just based on biomarkers. That's an area of strength for us this launch.
Christine Siu: They've been quite receptive to the strength of our data and the unmet needs on the patient side.

That's an area of strength for us this launch.
Speaker #7: As a comparable patient population, for them. And I guess the one topic here is they even acknowledge that we have much stronger data because we actually have the functional data.
Speaker #7: It's not just based on biomarkers, and so that's an area of strength for us in this launch.
Speaker #4: We'll go next to John Boyle at William Blair.
Operator: We'll go next to John Boyle at William Blair.
Operator: We'll go next to John Boyle at William Blair.
Speaker #8: Hi, team. Congrats on the strong quarter and thanks for taking our question. So I wanted to ask on Encaloret. Now that you have priority review, the MAAs submitted and diagnoses are increasing each month at the ICD-10 code.
John Boyle: Hi, team. Congrats on the strong quarter, and thanks for taking our question. I wanted to ask on encaleret. Now that you have priority review, the MAAs submitted, and diagnoses are increasing each month with the ICD-10 code, wondering if you could walk us through the launch setup into the May 2027 PDUFA date. As a follow-up with RECLAIM-HP now screening, hoping you could walk us through how you view the size of that opportunity and how you're viewing it as the next leg of growth for the franchise. Thanks.

As a follow-up with RECLAIM-HP now screening, hoping you could walk us through how you view the size of that opportunity and how you're viewing it as the next leg of growth for the franchise. Thanks.
Speaker #8: Wondering if you could walk us through the launch setup into the May 2027 FIDUFA date. And as a follow-up with Reclaim HP now screening, hoping you could walk us through how you view the size of that opportunity and how you're viewing it as the next leg of growth for the franchise.
Speaker #8: Thanks.
Neil Kumar: Thanks, John. Really appreciate your question. I'm going to pass it on to Anant to talk about encaleret.
Neil Kumar: Thanks, John. Really appreciate your question. I'm going to pass it on to Anant to talk about encaleret.
Speaker #3: Thanks, John. Really appreciate your question. We're going to pass it on to Anant to talk about Encaleret.
Ananth Sridhar: Sure. John, thanks for the great question. On the setup in advance of our PDUFA date for encaleret in ADH1, as we shared today, we see about over 2,200 patients uniquely coded under the dedicated ICD-10 code, which is E20.810 for autosomal dominant hypocalcemia. What we see is about 70 patients per month have been diagnosed and coded according to that code in the claims databases, and it is suggestive of what we would have anticipated, which is the availability of promising and positive clinical data driving awareness and suspicion to test for ADH1 in the clinic. Between now and PDUFA, as one might expect, we are investing further in raising disease state awareness, and we have our medical team meeting with institutions and providers, amplifying disease state awareness efforts, and growing familiarity with our evidence. Between now and PDUFA as well, we will continue to engage with our payer audience.
Anand Sridhar: Sure. John, thanks for the great question. On the setup in advance of our PDUFA date for encaleret in ADH1, as we shared today, we see about over 2,200 patients uniquely coded under the dedicated ICD-10 code, which is E20.810 for autosomal dominant hypocalcemia.
Speaker #1: Sure. John, thanks for the great question. On the setup in advance of our PDUFA date for Encaleret and ADH1, as we shared today, we see over 2,200 patients uniquely coded under the dedicated ICD-10 code, which is E20.810 for autosomal dominant hypocalcemia.
Speaker #1: What we see is about 70 patients per month have been diagnosed and coded according to that code in the claims databases. And it's suggestive of what we would have anticipated, which is the availability of promising and positive clinical data driving awareness and suspicion to test for ADH1 in the clinic.
Anand Sridhar: What we see is about 70 patients per month have been diagnosed and coded according to that code in the claims databases, and it is suggestive of what we would have anticipated, which is the availability of promising and positive clinical data driving awareness and suspicion to test for ADH1 in the clinic. Between now and PDUFA, as one might expect, we are investing further in raising disease state awareness, and we have our medical team meeting with institutions and providers, amplifying disease state awareness efforts, and growing familiarity with our evidence. Between now and PDUFA as well, we will continue to engage with our payer audience.
Speaker #1: In between now and FIDUFA, as one might expect, we're investing further in raising disease state awareness. We have our medical team meeting with institutions and providers, amplifying disease state awareness efforts, and growing familiarity with our evidence.
Speaker #1: And between now and FIDUFA as well, we will continue to engage with our payer audience. To date, the interactions have been quite positive.
Ananth Sridhar: To date, the interactions have been quite positive. The anticipation for a new and first modality directly targeted to treat ADH1 has been quite well-received amongst the payer audience, and we anticipate a constructive dialogue as we approach PDUFA more closely. To your second question regarding RECLAIM, it is a really exciting update today as we shared that screening activities have started for that phase III study. We anticipate to deliver top-line results from that study in about 18 months or so. It might be a great opportunity for us to grow the clinical utility of encaleret into the broader chronic hypoparathyroid population. We see around 200,000 individuals in the US and Europe could be afflicted with chronic hypoparathyroidism. If we are successful in this indication, we see another blockbuster opportunity for us to grow into.
Anand Sridhar: To date, the interactions have been quite positive.

Speaker #1: The anticipation for a new and first modality directly targeted to treat ADH1 has been quite well received amongst the payer audience, and we anticipate a constructive dialogue as we approach PDUFA more closely.
Speaker #1: And then to your second question regarding Reclaim, it's a really exciting update today as we shared that screening activities have started for that phase three study.
Speaker #1: We anticipate deliver top-line results from that study in about 18 months or so. And it might be a great opportunity for us to grow the clinical utility of Encaloret into the broader chronic hypoparathyroid population we see around 200,000 individuals in the US and Europe to be afflicted with chronic hypoparathyroidism.
Speaker #1: If we’re successful in this indication, we see another blockbuster opportunity for us to grow into.
Speaker #4: We'll move to our next question from Derek Archilla at Wells Fargo.
Operator: We will move to our next question from Derek Anttila at Wells Fargo.
Operator: We will move to our next question from Derek Anttila at Wells Fargo.
Speaker #9: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. Just a quick one. So I know in the past you had mentioned like 30 to 40 percent peak share for truly assumed a four-player market with combo use expanding.
Derek Anttila: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. Just a quick one. I know in the past you had mentioned 30% to 40% peak share for Attruby assumed a four-player market with combo use expanding. I guess, how does the failure of CARDIO-TTRansform raise that ceiling? Just curious if you plan to update that assumption anytime soon. Thanks.
Derek Archila: Hey, good afternoon. Thanks for taking the questions. Just a quick one. I know in the past you had mentioned 30% to 40% peak share for Attruby assumed a four-player market with combo use expanding. I guess, how does the failure of CARDIO-TTRansform raise that ceiling? Just curious if you plan to update that assumption anytime soon. Thanks.
Speaker #9: So I guess how does the failure of cardio transformer raise that ceiling? And just curious if you plan to update that assumption anytime soon.
Speaker #9: Thanks.
Speaker #3: Yeah, thank you for the question. We're conducting market research, and I think that you'll probably kick it off more after the CardioTransformer results come out more fully at ESC.
Ananth Sridhar: Yeah. Derek, thank you for the question. We are conducting market research, and I think that we will probably kick it off more after the CARDIO-TTRansform results come out more fully at ESC. At that point, we can more formally talk about what we expect as peak share. I think as Neil Kumar mentioned in his prepared remarks, we do think that the case for combo therapy scientifically is quite dead now. I think that that does benefit. I think the stabilizer should also remain front line as we discussed. We expect those things to be positive, but we do not have new market research to share at this point. It would be a bit preliminary to do it before the medical conference has happened and physicians have had a chance to digest all of this. Really appreciate your question.
Chinmay Shukla: Yeah. Derek, thank you for the question. We are conducting market research, and I think that we will probably kick it off more after the CARDIO-TTRansform results come out more fully at ESC. At that point, we can more formally talk about what we expect as peak share. I think as Neil Kumar mentioned in his prepared remarks, we do think that the case for combo therapy scientifically is quite dead now. I think that that does benefit. I think the stabilizer should also remain front line as we discussed. We expect those things to be positive, but we do not have new market research to share at this point. It would be a bit preliminary to do it before the medical conference has happened and physicians have had a chance to digest all of this. Really appreciate your question.
Speaker #3: And so at that point, we can more formally talk about what we expect as peak share. I think as Neil mentioned in his prepared remarks, we do think that the case for combo therapy scientifically is quite dead now.
Speaker #3: And so I think that does benefit. And I think the stabilizers should also remain frontline, as we've discussed. So we expect those things to be positive, but we don't have new market research to share at this point.
Speaker #3: It would be a bit preliminary to do it before the medical conference has happened and physicians have had a chance to digest all of it.
Speaker #3: Really appreciate your question.
Speaker #4: Our next question comes from Luca. Is that at RBC?
Operator: Our next question comes from Luca Issi at RBC.
Operator: Our next question comes from Luca Issi at RBC.
Speaker #1: Oh, great. Yeah. Thanks so much for taking my question. Congrats on the progress. Maybe on A condoplasia, obviously by Moran last week mentioned that 100 patients have switched from Bugzogo to Ubuel or less than 10 percent of all the Bugzogo patients.
Luca Issi: Oh, great. Yeah. Thanks so much for taking my question. Congrats on the progress. Maybe on achondroplasia, obviously, BioMarin last week mentioned that 100 patients have switched from VOXZOGO to Yorvipath or less than 10% of all the VOXZOGO patients. They are obviously arguing that 10%, such a low number, to suggest that the market is very sticky and the patients are loyal to VOXZOGO. Just wondering what is your comment on that? What is your view on that number as we think about the launch of the infigratinib potentially next year? Thanks so much.
Luca Issi: Oh, great. Yeah. Thanks so much for taking my question. Congrats on the progress. Maybe on achondroplasia, obviously, BioMarin last week mentioned that 100 patients have switched from VOXZOGO to Yorvipath or less than 10% of all the VOXZOGO patients. They are obviously arguing that 10%, such a low number, to suggest that the market is very sticky and the patients are loyal to VOXZOGO. Just wondering what is your comment on that? What is your view on that number as we think about the launch of the infigratinib potentially next year? Thanks so much.
Speaker #1: They're obviously arguing that 10 percent, such a low number, to suggest that the market is very sticky and the patients are loyal to Bugzogo.
Speaker #1: And so, just kind of wondering, what's your comment on that? What's your view on that number as we kind of think about the launch of it and potentially congratulating next year?
Speaker #1: Thanks so much.
Speaker #3: Thanks, Luca. Appreciate the question. I'm going to pass it on to Justin to talk about the infographic program.
Ananth Sridhar: Thanks, Luca. Appreciate the question. I am going to pass it on to Justin To to talk about the infigratinib program.
Chinmay Shukla: Thanks, Luca. Appreciate the question. I am going to pass it on to Justin To to talk about the infigratinib program.
Speaker #1: Yeah, no, thanks so much for the question. Yeah, I think we've been really pleased by what we've heard the last few weeks from both Byron and Sanders.
Justin To: Yeah. No, thanks so much for the question. Yeah, I think we've been really pleased by what we've heard the last few weeks from both BioMarin and Ascendis. I think there's a lot favorable tailwind for our upcoming launch. On the BioMarin side of things, they continue to increase the treating rate and build the market globally, really enlarging the pie for everyone across all markets. Because it's easier to get a switch than to get a patient who's never been on a treatment before. I think that's been really great to see their launch continue to accelerate there. Based on the recent Ascendis numbers, it really validates two of our key assumptions for launch. The first is that there's really not that much brand stickiness in the space. Families want their kids to switch to the most convenient option.
Justin To: Yeah. No, thanks so much for the question. Yeah, I think we've been really pleased by what we've heard the last few weeks from both BioMarin and Ascendis. I think there's a lot favorable tailwind for our upcoming launch. On the BioMarin side of things, they continue to increase the treating rate and build the market globally, really enlarging the pie for everyone across all markets. Because it's easier to get a switch than to get a patient who's never been on a treatment before. I think that's been really great to see their launch continue to accelerate there. Based on the recent Ascendis numbers, it really validates two of our key assumptions for launch. The first is that there's really not that much brand stickiness in the space. Families want their kids to switch to the most convenient option.
Speaker #1: I think there's a lot of favorable tailwinds for our upcoming launch. On the Byron side of things, they continue to increase the treatment rate and build the market globally, really enlarging the pie for everyone, across all markets.
Speaker #1: We call it easier to get a switch than to get a patient who's never been on treatment before. I think that's been really great to see their launch continuing to accelerate there.
Speaker #1: Now, based on the recent Ascendas numbers, it really validates two of our key assumptions for the launch. The first is that there's really not that much brand stickiness in the space.
Speaker #1: Families want their kids to switch the motion of being an option. And when we're on the market, not only will we have the most convenient option, but by far the most efficacious.
Justin To: When we're on the market, not only will we have the most convenient option, but by far the most efficacious. Ascendis having a strong launch here is good for us if families and HCPs think about switch and think about a new option. Ever since Ascendis' approval, we've noticed a huge uptick in outreach from HCPs. The second key assumption that Ascendis' launch validates is that having a more convenient option also expands the market. I think Ascendis is seeing a good chunk of their treatment IE scripts from families who were never one on VOXZOGO. You're kind of just using the math based on BioMarin and Ascendis' remarks. We know from multiple analogs from prior launches that availability of the first oral tends to expand the market by 2 to 3 times.
Justin To: When we're on the market, not only will we have the most convenient option, but by far the most efficacious. Ascendis having a strong launch here is good for us if families and HCPs think about switch and think about a new option. Ever since Ascendis' approval, we've noticed a huge uptick in outreach from HCPs. The second key assumption that Ascendis' launch validates is that having a more convenient option also expands the market. I think Ascendis is seeing a good chunk of their treatment IE scripts from families who were never one on VOXZOGO. You're kind of just using the math based on BioMarin and Ascendis' remarks. We know from multiple analogs from prior launches that availability of the first oral tends to expand the market by 2 to 3 times.
Speaker #1: And so, Ascendis having a strong launch here is good for us. Yet families and HCPs think about which and think about new options. And ever since Ascendis was approved, we've noticed a huge uptick in outreach from HCPs.
Speaker #1: Now, the second key assumption that Ascendis's launch validates is that having a more convenient option also expands the market. Now, I think Ascendis is seeing a good chunk of their treatment IE scripts from families who never went on Bugzogo, or you can kind of just use them in the math based on Byron and Ascendis's remarks.
Speaker #1: And we know from multiple analogs from prior launches that the availability of the first oral tends to expand the market by two to three times.
Speaker #1: So we think, in totality, the numbers we're seeing from both Byron and Ascendas in their remarks are going to bode well for our launch.
Justin To: So we think in totality, some of the numbers we're seeing from both BioMarin and Ascendis in their remarks is going to portend well for our launch.
Justin To: So we think in totality, some of the numbers we're seeing from both BioMarin and Ascendis in their remarks is going to portend well for our launch.
Speaker #4: Next, we'll go to Jason Zamansky at Bank of America.
Operator: Next, we'll go to Jason Zemansky at Bank of America.
Operator: Next, we'll go to Jason Zemansky at Bank of America.
Speaker #10: Good afternoon. Congrats on the nice quarter, and thanks for squeezing us in. Bayontra royalties just reached $15 million for the quarter. Looks like they're starting to scale quickly.
Jason Zemansky: Good afternoon. Congrats on the nice quarter, and thanks for squeezing us in. BEYONTTRA royalties just reached $15 million for the quarter, look like they are starting to scale quickly. As encaleret for ADH1 and now infigratinib move towards their respective European decisions, how are you weighing potential partner structures like the BEYONTTRA agreement versus commercializing independently ex-US? I mean, is there anything you can extrapolate from your experiences about maximizing value abroad? Thanks.
Jason Zemansky: Good afternoon. Congrats on the nice quarter, and thanks for squeezing us in. BEYONTTRA royalties just reached $15 million for the quarter, look like they are starting to scale quickly. As encaleret for ADH1 and now infigratinib move towards their respective European decisions, how are you weighing potential partner structures like the BEYONTTRA agreement versus commercializing independently ex-US? I mean, is there anything you can extrapolate from your experiences about maximizing value abroad? Thanks.
Speaker #10: So, as Encaloret for 18 and now Infograte have moved towards their respective European decisions, how are you weighing potential partnership structures like the Bayontra agreement versus commercializing independently ex-U.S.?
Speaker #10: And, I mean, is there anything you can extrapolate from your experiences about maximizing value abroad? Thanks.
Ananth Sridhar: Hey, Jason. It is great to hear from you, and thank you for the question. Our framework for any partnership decision always remains we want to do what is going to be best for patients and shareholders alike, and we want to put the asset in the hands of the person that is the best owner. I think that we think for these next three launches, we feel very confident about being able to commercialize them globally on our own. I think we have learned a lot from the Attruby launch.
Anand Sridhar: Hey, Jason. It is great to hear from you, and thank you for the question. Our framework for any partnership decision always remains we want to do what is going to be best for patients and shareholders alike, and we want to put the asset in the hands of the person that is the best owner. I think that we think for these next three launches, we feel very confident about being able to commercialize them globally on our own. I think we have learned a lot from the Attruby launch.
Speaker #3: Hey Jason, it's great to hear from you, and thank you for the question. Our framework for any partnership decision always remains: we want to do what is going to be best for patients and shareholders alike.
Speaker #3: And we want to put the asset in the hands of the person who is the best owner. I think that for these next three launches, we feel very confident about being able to commercialize them globally on our own.
Speaker #3: I think we've learned a lot from the Atrubi launch, and I think we're really excited to grow our footprint internationally, as I think actually serving those countries and KOLs is going to help us improve our drug development engine too.
Chinmay Shukla: I think we are excited to grow our footprint internationally, because I think actually serving those countries and KOLs is going to help us improve our drug development engine, too. That is how we are thinking about it. Obviously, with the fact that we have about $1.7 billion of cash on our balance sheet, we are very well capitalized to fund those launches, and I think that the footprint is also going to be light as we have discussed before. I think that is how we are thinking about it today. But we are always open to interesting suggestions and ideas, and all we always evaluate is what is best for our shareholders and patients that we wish to serve.

Speaker #3: So that's how we are thinking about it. Obviously, with the fact that we've got $1.7 billion of cash on our balance sheet, we're very well capitalized.
Speaker #3: To fund those launches, and I think that the footprint is also going to be light, as we've discussed before. So I think that's how we are thinking about it today.

Speaker #1: Well, also, it's important to control price globally in an MFN world. So that's what we intend to do.
Neil Kumar: Well, also it is important to control price globally in an MFN world. That is what we intend to do.
Neil Kumar: Well, also it is important to control price globally in an MFN world. That is what we intend to do.
Speaker #4: And next, we'll move to Danielle Brill at Truist Securities. Good afternoon. Thanks for the question, and congrats on the really strong execution this quarter.
Operator: Next, we'll move to Danielle Brill at Truist Securities.
Operator: Next, we'll move to Danielle Brill at Truist Securities.
Danielle Brill: Hi, guys. Good afternoon. Thanks for the question and congrats on the really strong execution this quarter. It looks like operating loss improved roughly 20% year-over-year, despite the added investment required to support potentially three new launches over the next 12 months. As Attruby continues to scale and the portfolio transitions to a multi-product commercial business, how should investors think about incremental margins and operating leverage from here? What are the key milestones that ultimately drive BridgeBio to profitability and sustainable cash flow generation? Thank you.

Speaker #1: Hey, Danielle. Thanks for the question. So, I would say with another quarter behind us, we are increasingly confident in the evolution of the P&L towards a point where we'll start to see break-even profitability and ultimately cash generation in the relatively near term.
Thomas Trimarchi: Hey, Danielle. Thanks for the question. I would say with another quarter behind us, we're increasingly confident in the evolution of the P&L towards a point where we'll start to see breakeven profitability and ultimately cash generation in the relevant near term. Just to give you a sense for how we think of this, we look year-on-year, we're seeing an improvement on the operating line, which has been pretty consistent year-on-year for the last few quarters. Quarter-on-quarter, though, we're pretty much stable, and we expect to be stable on the operating lines for the next several quarters before that starts to improve again towards the end of the year into next year. Just to break this out a bit further, you've got two pieces really driving this.

Speaker #1: Quarter on quarter, though, we're pretty much stable. We expect to be stable on the operating line for the next several quarters before that starts to improve again.
Speaker #1: Towards the end of the year and into next year—to break that down a bit further—you've got two pieces really driving this. One is Atrubi, which is basically, I would say, in margin expansion mode, where OpEx is relatively stable, but we're seeing, obviously, sales growth continue to improve the margins.
Thomas Trimarchi: One is Attruby, which is in basically, I would say, margin expansion mode, where OpEx is relatively stable, but we're seeing obviously sales growth continue to improve margins. That's pretty much offsetting the investment we're making into the upcoming launches. We're scaling up all the activities around field medical marketing as well as expensing pre-commercial inventory right now. As we get to sort of steady state on those activities towards the end of next year, we'll start to see, again, a trend toward improving the operating line, ultimately breakeven on the horizon as we look into 2027.
