RESEARCH TEAM Key takeaways from our survey of 47 high prescribing optometrists and Vamil Divan, MD ophthalmologists include: (1) growth for AGN’s Restasis is expected to continue in the (212)-538-5394 medium term, with FDA decision on substitutability of generic version critical determinant to [email protected] longer-term, (2) AGN’s Lumigan is poised to maintain branded market leadership in Jason Kantor, PhD glaucoma with low share loss expected, (3) REGN/BAY’s Eylea positive momentum will likely (415) 249-7942 [email protected] continue post upcoming entry in diabetic macular edema, and (4) there is room for pipeline drugs assuming improvements in key characteristics such as dosing profile and efficacy. Ari Jahja (212) 325-0767 [email protected] Conclusions from survey results for key players are the following: European Pharma Team (44)-207-888-0304 AGN: The results underpin our view that Lumigan is poised to maintain market leadership in [email protected] branded prostaglandin market, despite stricter formulary management and competition from Fumiyoshi Sakai generic latanoprost. While meaningful share erosion is likely for Restasis post entry of (81) 3-4550-9737 version, medium-term growth is likely to continue. We remain cautious on pipeline drugs [email protected] DARPin and Ozurdex in DME, which represent optionality in our model.

Furthermore, compounding pharmacy issue on [email protected] Avastin will likely have modest impact in the next 12-24 months, with Eylea is still viewed as Jeremy Joseph potential beneficiary. (212) 325-3870 [email protected] ROG/NOV: While Lucentis’ share will likely remain stable and market growth will provide support, long-term trajectory could decelerate post Eylea’s entry to DME. Overall, physicians still anticipate the majority of Lucentis use to be in wet AMD (~57%) indication, followed by the DME and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) indications. NOV: Ophthalmology remains a key driver for Novartis (Alcon), representing c.20% of NPV. Our survey highlights support for the Simbrinza launch in glaucoma but also some caution on Jetrea rollout, in line with CS expectations.
