    Biotechnology: Positioning and what matters in

    2014

    EventIn 2014 we anticipate 20% upside to large cap biotech (2013 was +82%). This is based on expecting

    20-25% EPS growth for the group and for a reasonable forward P/E of 18-20x to remain stable we

    dont anticipate any real P/E expansion next year vs. 2012-13, which saw significant "re-rating" due to

    so much pipeline success and innovation. 2014 doesn't have as much major clinical news and is more an

    execution year on recent big biotech products, where investors should get rewarded for strong secular

    fundamentals, commercial execution, and flowthrough to operating leverage and earnings upside. We

    raised our PT on GILD to $90 which remains our best large cap idea asoutperformance should be led by

    large earnings upside coming and we want to buy major upside consensus earnings revisions, followed

    by BIIB/CELG and then lower-return/lower risk AMGN. VRTX is our top mid-cap on positive CF data in

    summer and stock should start to go up from here into the data.

    The report details key questions for each company and our views. We're hosting a conf call 12/20 @

    10am ET with a separate extra detailed 185-pg slide deck reviewing these key issues on each stock

    for 2014 and tidbits to know (800-602-4090).

    Estimates still need to rise:Biotech is set to beat, in our view, and estimates should increase, so PEs

    should remain at least the same, which would imply upside to stocks. We believe we are in a multi-year

    period of innovation, with new product cycles coming to market, which has helped support a strong

    secular biotech market. We believe commercial success of these new products will drive significant

    earnings upside and continue to push stocks higher.

    There are fewer catalysts in 2014 than 2013.As a result, to keep up high enthusiasm for the group, weneed to find the next leg of the story for each stock when we go into 2015. Recent pipeline successes are

    appreciated already and driving near-term EPS in 2014-16 (Tecfidera, Sovaldi, Revlimid, Abraxane etc).

    But this success needs to continue, particularly with Phase II/III programs (LINGO, SMA, Tysabri, GILD

    cancer or Hep B, CELG partnered programs, AMGN Kyprolis, etc.) as these drive the out years (2016-18)

    when recent blockbusters may decelerate. We like the theme that a large cap company needs at least

    one big drug coming every three years.

    Sentiment and risks?Valuation is viewed as very attractive, especially given growth rates expected in

    out years: 16x 2015 EPS and 13x 2016 EPS versus 3-year CAGR of 20-25% for GILD, CELG, and BIIB. This

    makes these names look cheap or at least like growth at a reasonable price (GARP). The risks to the

    sector are: 1) rotation trade where this outperforming sector is a relative source of funds if economy

    picks up faster, 2) success of GILD which needs to meet high expectations for the overall sentiment of the

    sector, 3) perception of managed care sensitivity to pricing including orphan drugs, 4) access to capitalmarkets for smid cap biotech

    For smid-caps:We need to be much more selective in 2014. In 2013, unusually high deal flow and strong

    IPO performance drove up almost all smid-caps. However, given current valuations, even higher-quality

    names need strong data to sustain stock performance. In the smid-cap space, we like PRTA, AUXL, SGEN,

    CBST and AERI.

    Biotechnology: Positioning and what matters in 2014

    3/196

    Biotech for 2014: Tough act to follow, expect more moderated

    performance next year.In 2014 we anticipate more modest 15-20% upside to large cap (2013 was +82%) . This is based

    on our expecting 20-25% EPS growth for the group and for a reasonable forward P/E of 18-20x toremain stable we dont anticipate any real P/E expansion next year vs. 2012 -13, which had

    significant re-rating due to so much pipeline success and innovation. 2014 becomes an

    execution year on these big products. Expected performance of top large-caps in order for 2014

    is: GILD > BIIB > CELG > AMGN.In the smid-cap space, we like VRTX, PRTA, AUXL, SGEN, CBST and

    AERI

    Our two part thesis is:

    1. Estimates still need to rise: Biotech is still set to beat and estimates need to increase so PEs

    should remain at least the same and still imply upside to stocks.

    2. There are FEWER big catalysts in 2014 than 2013 . Thus we need to find the next upside leg

    in the pipeline: To keep up high enthusiasm for the group, we need to find the next leg of

    the story for each stock. Recent pipeline successes are appreciated already and driving near-

    term EPS in 2014-16 (Tecfidera, SOF, Revlimid, Abraxane, etc). But this momentum needs

    to continue particularly with Phase II/III programs (LINGO, SMA, Tysabri, GILD cancer or Hep

    B, CELG partnered programs, AMGN Kyprolis, etc) as these drive the outer years (2016+)

    when recent successes may decelerate. We like the theme that a large cap company needs

    at least one big drug coming every 3 yearswill we find that in 2014-15?

    Overall investor feedback is still positively biased in large cap biotech. We expect very attractive

    growth rates, especially in outer years: 16x 2015 EPS and 13x 2016 EPS versus 3-year CAGR of 20-

    25% for GILD, CELG, and BIIB. This makes these names look cheap or at least like growth at a

    reasonable price (GARP). We especially see upside earnings bias for GILD, which is coming up on a

    potential big launch that we think will exceed expectations.

    We believe we are still in the midst of a multi -year period of innovationwith new product

    cycles coming to market, which has helped support a strong secular biotech market. We are now

    entering a period where large cap biotech is going from pipeline success to having multiple new

    products that are expected to drive significant earnings upside, which should continue to push

    stock prices higher.

    For smid-caps, we need to be significantly more selective in 2014 . In 2013, unusual deal flow and

    strong IPO performance drove up almost all the smid-caps as well as any derivatives. However,

    given current valuations, even the higher-quality names will need strong data to sustain stock

    performance.

    Risks to watch out for the biotech sector include:

    The rotation tradewhich takes investors out of winners like biotech and into sectors that

    underperformed in 2013 (e.g. energy, telecom) on the basis that the economy picks up

    and/or growth and cyclical sectors become more overweight

    As goes GILD, as goes the group. Success of Gileads sofosbuvir will drive sentiment and

    enthusiasm higher for the group. Disappointment will suggest biotech cannot deliver on so-

    called blockbusters and will lead the group much lower (this is a well-loved and well-owned

    name).

    Major pipeline disappointmentscould shift sentiment from todays general enthusiasm for

    innovation to a reminder that drug development is indeed risky. Biotech is inherently risky

    and clinical trials can disappoint, which can cause sentiment to turn negative on stocks or the

    whole sector.

    Access to capital marketswill be key for smid-cap biotechs. 2013 saw 43 IPOs (!) and over

    $2.9B in capital raised for the biotech sector vs. an average of 9 IPOs and $0.9B each year in

    the past 5 years. A decline in appetite to keep financing more companies with higher risk can

    drive increasing volatility for small cap biotechs.

    Amgen (AMGN)Outperform

    Price Target USD $125.00

    Target/Upside/Downside ScenariosExhibit 7: Amgen

    Source: RBC Capital Markets estimates

    Target price/ base caseOur base case of $125/share assumes minimal erosion of base

    business (-1% y/y post 2016) using an 8% discount rate and -

    1.5% terminal growth rate. We also include probability adjusted

    (1040%) value for seven pipeline opportunities: T-Vec,

    AMG386, sclerostin, AMG-145, AMGN's early-stage neurologypipeline (AMG747, AMG334) and its immunology assets in

    collaboration with AZN (AMG181, AMG827, of which AMGN

    roughly has ~55% economics), as well as AMGN's biosimilar

    program. Probability-adjusted pipeline value is $20/ share of our

    price target.

    Upside scenarioOur upside scenario of $135/share assumes a more stable core

    base business (-1% growth rate, -1% terminal growth,

    $110/share) and higher probability of success for two of the

    pipeline programs, namely 60% instead of 30% for AMG-145 and

    50% instead of 25% for sclerostin. Pipeline accounts for

    $25/share in this scenario.

    Downside scenarioOur downside scenario of $105/share assumes no pipeline

    contribution at all, as some investors remain skeptical of

    AMGN's ability to renew growth with its current pipeline

    portfolio.

    Investment summaryWe view AMGN as a long-term positive based on conservative 3-

    to 5-year guidance (room for upward revision), especially as

    growth via geographical expansion, biosimilars (most view it as

    rev erosion, not growth), and pipeline optionality are not in

    consensus. AMGN is also focused on continued dividend growth

    which is attractive for long-term investors. Another under-

    appreciated driver is AMGN's margin expansion from reduction

    in percentage of Enbrel profit shares late in 2013, reducing SG&A

    by as much as 3.5% in 2014, and again by 2% + in 2017 when the

    profit-sharing agreement ceases. Thus, AMGN remains a "bette

    pharma" with valuation discount (14.5x vs. 15.5x) with growing

    dividend and commitment for return of high percentage o

    capital, potential cost-reduction levers, and an overall more

    robust pipeline that could begin to be factored in estimates in

    the next 12 years

    Potential catalysts to our thesis

    Greater pipeline enthusiasm driven by PCSK-9, T-Vec

    (melanoma), AMG-386 (ovarian cancer). AMGN currently

    and regulatory filing of these Phase III assets will increase

    investor enthusiasm for revenue growth in 2015 and

    beyond.

    De-risking of Kyprolis asset and new product cycle)

    through demonstration of impressive PFS (5 months+) in

    ASPIRE and good CV safety (3-4% event rate), debunking

    concerns its challenging profile will decrease its potential in

    earlier lines of myeloma treatment.

    Risks to our investment thesis:

    Greater than expected competitive impact on various

    franchises:We believe competitive products from Teva wil

    have limited erosion on AMGN's base business in the next 1

    2 yrs. However, inability for AMGN to meet sales estimates

    can erode investor confidence of resilience of franchise and

    AMGNs ability to manage competitive threats. AMGN does

    has many levers at its disposal (price increases, cost cuts

    share buybacks).

    Clinical risk, should ASPIRE and ENDEAVOR trial results be

    less robust than expected.AMGN completed acquisition o

    ONXX on premise that Kyprolis could garner EU approvaand show superiority vs. Velcade (another proteasome

    inhibitor to go generic in 2015/2016). Poorer than expected

    clinical updates in 2014 will render this acquisition a

    strategic failure leaving AMGN with greater financial risk.

    Biotechnology: Positioning and what matters in 2014

  • 8/9/2019 131220 Biotechnology Positioning and What Matters in 2014

    12/196

    Key questions / debates for AMGN

    1. What is the competitive situation with

    Teva on Neupogen/Neulasta?

    Teva has launched Granix (competitor to Neupogen) Nov 2013 but withdrew both

    pegylated and albumin long acting versions (future competitor to Neulasta) due tolitigation and agencys request for additional data. We do not expect Neulasta (25% of

    AMGNs revs) competition until after patent expiration (Dec 15).

    2. How should we view AMGN vs. REGN

    PCSK-9 competition?

    Efficacy in Phase II looks comparable (45-50% monotherapy, 50-60% combo), so we

    expect Phase III to be similar for the two compounds. Potential differentiation lies in

    very low adverse events rate (myalgia, no liver enzyme abnormalities, low injection

    site reactions), infrequent neutralizing antibodies and long-term follow-ups. We

    continue to believe both AMGN and REGN will fill for regulatory approval by YE:14

    without waiting for cardiovascular outcomes data.

    3. Any updates to biosimilars regulatory

    update in the US?

    Sponsors have been discussing with the FDA individually on design of pivotal trials,

    and recall draft guidance was published in 2012, but there have been few updates

    since on erecting regulatory pathway for approval of biosimilars.

    4. What are our views on ASPIRE interim

    results?

    We think the study is likely to stop at interim in H1:14 as KRd should give

    higher/deeper responses (75%+ ORR) than Rd (65-70% ORR). We estimate CHF (CV)

    events will be 3-5%+, similar to label stated 3% but higher than 1-2% for Rd.

    5. Will CLARION and ENDEAVOR work? These head-to-head studies against Velcade are crucial to Kyprolis, and we think 2nd

    line ENDEAVOR is likely to work as deeper CRs and VGPRs will likely drive longer PFS

    in these sicker patients. Similarly in 1st

    line CLARION, Kyprolis should show higher CR

    but the bar is higher here as PFS in VISTA is already 20.7 months.

    We believe AMGNs guidance in Jan is likely to encompass current consensus EPS of $8.13 vs. our

    $8.15. AMGN historically gives conservative initial guidance and then guides up over the year.

    Consensus included a mostly neutral EPS impact from ONXX in 2014 (and accretive by ~3-5% in

    2015).

    1. Phase III ASPIRE interim analysis in H1-14We think it will be in Q2 and will be looking for stopping at the interim for meeting the criteria for

    statistical significance. This study completed enrollment in February 2012. Thus, assuming the

    median completed enrollment in Fall of 2011 then in Q2:14 we estimate median duration of PFS

    could be 20+ months for CRd vs. mid to high teens for Rd.

    We estimate cardiovascular safety (specifically CHF) will be 3-5%+ given much longer duration vs.

    1-2% for Rd implying a delta of low single digits which is no different than Kyrpolis single-agen

    3rd line which already has 3% in the label. One would expect it to be higher given longer-durationand thus longer follow-up captures more events. Notably the CV events in 3rd line were fairly

    early, i.e. first cycle of drug.

    We believe Phase III FOCUS data in H1-14 has a 50% chance of positive data

    2.Sales of Teva Neupogen as a read-through to biosimilar-like competition.With Teva Neulasta now delayed for likely at least a year, sales of Tevas Neupogen (brand name

    here) will be watched given 20% price discount from AMGN. We think sales will be modest for the

    first year so this should give increased confidence to AMGNs ability to maintain strong market

    share.

    Neupogen/Neulasta comprises up to 33% of US sales and Teva has launched Granix (Neupogen

    competitor) on November 11, 2013. We think sales will be modest off the first years so this should

    give increased confidence to AMGNs ability to maintain strong market share.

    Sales of Granix will be watched given 20% price discount to AMGN, but recall this is not a

    biosimilar and thus would require market building. Investors are concerned Teva could signcontracts with major managed care players at large discounts to incentivize priority coverage or

    utilization and gain share. AMGN could offer rebates/discounts and limit price increases on the

    four other drugs it already sells to these payors (Xgeva, Aranesp, etc) to make AMGN products

    more on par and economical to managed care.

    Recall Teva withdrew the peg version of their Neulasta me -too due to AMGN lawsuit, and

    their 2nd long-acting (albumin version) due to FDAs need for additional data. This means that

    AMGNs Neulasta franchise will not see competition until after Dec 2015.

    3. Phase III PCSK-9 data during 2014We believe multiple Phase III positive studies and possible H2:14 analyst R&D meeting could push

    a higher P/E multiple as investors recognize this late-stage product is possible coming to market in

    2015. Currently there is no Phase III data for AMG-145 yet (Phase III readout Q1:14), and

    competitor REGN will have data in the same timeframe. REGN s first Phase III MONO (REGN727

    vs. ezetimibe, n=100) has readout showing 47% LDL reduction

    AMGN have presented positive Phase II data showing 4066% LDL reductions and similar to

    competitor REGN/SNY. One of AMG-145s differentiation is potential for once-monthly dosing

    which REGN/SNY have recognized and thus recently initiated a once-monthly dosing study as well

    Hypercholesterolemia affects 12M in the US and is a $10B+ opportunity with 10-20% penetration

    We believe the market is enormous and can fit multiple players over time (like statin market).

    Phase III data in Q1:14 (mono, combo, HeFH, statin intolerant) should bring greater enthusiasm to

    this potential blockbuster for a core market of 1M+ hypercholesterolemia patents intolerant of, o

    unable to reach LDL goals despite, statins. We believe anti-PCSK9 market will grow to $2- $5B+

    over time and AMG-145 will garner $2B+ of peak sales, worth $10/share for AMGN (* contact us

    for detailed deep dive*). AMGN is also collaborating w/ Servier (2nd largest French pharma) in

    development and commercialization of Procoralan/Ivabradine (approved in Europe since 2005)

    for chronic heart failure and S38844 (Phase II) for CV disease. AMGN intends to file US registration

    for Procoralan in 2014, and use that as a cardiovascular launch pad prior to launch of AMG-145 in

    2015.

    T-Vec (immunotherapy for melanoma) - Data shows that >50% of T-Vec responders (16% vs. 2%

    GM-CSF) have duration of one year or more, which bodes well for final OS analysis mid 2014.Wethink it's possible T-Vec could partner with another immunotherapy checkpoint agent such as

    conservatively assign 30% probability that T-Vec will grow to be a $500M+ peak sales therapy.

    Biogen Idec(BIIB)Outperform

    Price Target USD $325.00

    Target/Upside/Downside ScenariosExhibit 18: Biogen Idec

    Source: RBC Capital Markets estimates

    Target price/ base caseOur $325 price target (from $275) is based on DCF analysis that

    values the base business ($127/share, now higher from better

    Tysabri economics, added operating leverage and tax synergies

    from consolidated ex-US IP), the commercial prospects of

    Tecfidera ($88/share based on certainty of EU revs post NAS

    designation) and hemophilia ($15/share) programs. For various

    pipeline programs. we add probability adjusted value of

    $67/share. We also include adjusted value of operational

    synergies should these pipeline programs be successful

    ($28/share).

    Upside scenarioOur upside scenario of $358/share (from $295) is based on

    prospects of core business, good Tecfidera and pending

    hemophilia launches, as well as same valuation for SMN-Rx. We

    assign greater prob. adjusted value for remaining pipeline as we

    gain visibility on their prospects in next 12-months, which lowers

    discount rate f0rm 25% to 18% or to 10% respectively.Additionally, we include $38/share of expected operational

    synergies (instead of $28/share) from pipeline success..

    Downside scenarioOur downside scenario of $230/share is based on similar

    assumptions to our base case, except less bullish prospects for

    Tecfidera, and only nominal value for pipeline given none has

    shown pivotal data.

    Investment summaryOur long-term positive thesis on BIIB is based the view that 1

    estimates generally still need to go up for FY14-15 due to

    Tecfidera doing better than expected (EU sales to come into

    play) and the high margin sales flow all to the bottom line, plus

    Avonex core business doing in-line to better than expected, 2)

    the story is mainly focused on 2014-15 pipeline readouts which

    aren't really in estimates. These pipelines are often first in class

    in areas of unmet need with very large market potentials ($1

    9B), where even nominal assumed probabilities put the stock in

    the $250-$275M range. Our thesis is that one of more of these

    six proof-of-concept or pivotal readouts in 2014-2015 will be

    positive, supporting investor confidence of further re-rating for

    BIIB. Compared to its large cap peers, BIIBs catalyst rich year

    outperforming base business and lack of overhangs (legal

    commercial, regulatory) render it likely the most attractive stock

    to own for pipeline upside. We believe there is 5-35% probabilityof success for pipeline readouts (5% probability for Tysabri in

    SMS, 50% for SMN, 25% for ANTI-LINGO, 20% for IP and lupus

    and 5% for Alzheimers indication) which are not fully reflected

    in the stocks current valuation.

    Potential catalysts to our thesis

    Continued Tecfidera outperformance and better than

    expected leverage. Consensus estimate in 2014 still reflects

    mostly only US demand, so better than expected EU sales

    ($200M+) could lead to further upside revision. Consensus

    assumed reasonable operating leverage expansion (39% to

    46-48%) but this could improve with better Tecfidera sales.

    Hemophilia launch beats very modest estimates. Investors

    currently do not view this as a significant leg of growth

    despite this being a $3-$4B market opportunity in the US. If

    the market turns out to be less sticky and more switchers

    adopt BIIBs therapies, this could be an underappreciated

    revenue driver leading to further upside revision and op

    leverage improvement.

    Pipeline credit likely to support higher value over the long

    term. Anticipation of Phase II anti-LINGO antibody in H2:14

    has the potential to be the next big thing at Biogen after

    Tecfidera. Separately, Tysabri has a reasonable probability

    of success in SPMS based on our analysis of data from

    ECTRIMS, and LINGO science and mechanism make goodsense so proof-of-concept data in 2014 could usher in

    another leg of upside for BIIB

    Risks to our investment thesis:

    Tecfidera missing cons estimates, or disappointing pipeline

    readouts where none of six were successful.

  • 8/9/2019 131220 Biotechnology Positioning and What Matters in 2014

    25/196

    Key questions / debates for BIIB

    1.

    Isnt Tecfidera consensus already high

    with limited room for upside revision?Tecfidera consensus is $1.9B and $2.8B for 2014-2015, and while fast growing, stil

    reflects mostly US demand in our view, as it is already on a $1.3B+ run-rate in first 4quarters and this is a chronic therapy with stacking revenues. Better than expected

    EU sales could still prompt upward revision in the $100-$500M range in 2014-2015,

    and there is likely still upside to operating leverage the Street is not fully accounting

    for.

    2. What are the chances that ANTI-LINGO

    will work?It is a small Phase II (n=80, 6 months) in optic neuritis where proof of concept of

    activity should translate into measurable changes in optic nerve conduction velocity

    from baseline. BIIB will also be measuring thickness of the retinal ganglion layer, as

    well as patients visual acuity. While our expectations are modest (25%), the

    scientific rationale and the setup for demonstration of activity are sound.

    3. How secure are BIIBs dosing patents

    going out to 2028-2029 in US/EU?We estimate Tecfidera is worth ~$38/share if patents goes out only to 2020,

    $50/share for $58/share if they go out to 2023 (middle scenario) and $88/share if it

    lasts to 2029, with no terminal value. It is indeed a development to watch but first

    Paragraph IV filing would be in 2016, so this is a background bear scenario unlikely

    to affect stock performance in 2014.

    4. What are the chances Tysabri will work

    in SPMS in 2015?We assume 35% probability of success anecdotally some patients who remain on

    Tysabri despite transition to SPMS appear more stable. There is likely a threshold

    effect of myelin destruction pass that is coupled with increased inflammation. In

    Phase II, Tysabri was able to reduce MRI atrophy endpoints, CSF endpoints as well as

    demonstrate improvement in EDSS. While a long shot, Tysabri is the most promising

    candidate drug for SPMS currently.

    5. What are consensus expectations for

    hemophilia launch? Despite delays of Eloctate (FVIII) approval to June 2014 and Aprolix (FIX) to April2014, consensus expectations were sufficiently modest (

    1) Starting off in 2014, we should get conservative guidance in Jan but during H1:14, Tecfidera wil

    continue to march along increasing market share on its way towards $2B+ in 2014 and $3B in

    2015 (surpassing Gilenya which is doing close to $2B WW and also growing quickly) although

    estimates have been catching up a bit near-term and for 2014. Early '14 has SMN-Rx "multi-dose"

    data and this should look good as BIIB starts Phase III.

    2) Hemophilia launch mid-year is a good set-up because if sales exceed then Street will say open-

    ended $4B market is up for grabs for BIIB now. If OK launch, it won't matter much given smaller

    driver for BIIB earnings/expectations.

    3) Copaxone AB-rated generic possibility in mid-14? Based on comments by Teva this could

    capture 25-50% share of branded after a year or more. While headline risk to BIIB, our checks

    Biotechnology: Positioning and what matters in 2014

    4) BIIB starts to get more exciting into H2:14 because there's going to be pipeline and we want to

    be there: Phase II anti-LINGO antibody data in optic neuritis (any visual acuity improvement is

    positive) in H2:14, Phase II STX-100 IPF data, and H1:15 is big Phase III Tysabri SPMS data which if

    positive could add $2B to consensus. We are less interested in daclizumab due to profit split with

    ABBV and niche role in MS given subQ and infection risk vs superior orals.

    5) By the time we get to YE:14 going into 2015 the Street will also figure out 2015-17 consensus

    EPS is too low due to leverage on Tecfidera, better Avonex (Peg-Avonex), hemophilia upside, and

    margin expansion: every $300-400M in upside leads to $1 in higher EPS. Street also consistently

    models expenses too high and this will be lower as a % of sales. Unlike CELG, there is no 2015-17

    guidance at BIIB but if we run this through the model, we can get $1-2 higher EPS towards 2017.

    Some bulls are upwards of $20/share towards 2018+ if EPS CAGR is 20%.The 4 drugs that we are

    most excited about with proof of concept or pivotal data over next 12-24 months are:

    Things to Note for BIIB in 2014Tecfidera US sales tracks in-line for Q4 (TRx at 24% QTD, or $338M vs. cons $334M). However, if

    we proactively account for holiday impact in the remaining 3 weeks, we get a lower bound

    estimate of $310M (*Contact us for our TecfiAPP*). Noting likely incremental inventory build, we

    believe Tecfidera will come in line with cons estimate of $334M for Q4. TRx market penetration is

    at 13.5% this week For comparison, Gilenya penetration is at 10% and Aubagio at 3%.

    For 2014, a new dynamic will be first EU sales likely beginning Jan after EMA confirmed Tecfidera

    qualifies as new active substance, which confers 10 yrs of data protection. Consensus estimates

    EU peak sales will be $1-2B+ before exclusivity expires in 2023. we note BIIB also has EU patent

    for twice-daily dosing expiring 2028, which adds as another layer of patent protection

    underappreciated in the model in our view

    Tecfidera 2014 -2015 cons of $1.9B and $2.8B reflects mostly US demand in our opinion. It is

    already on a $1.3B+ run-rate in the first 4 quarters as scripts continue to grow rapidly (24% QTD

    for Q4), gaining market share. Even though EU will likely be a slower and staggered launch vs. USas a proxy, Recall Gilenya sales ex-US accounted for 31% and 46% of total Gilenya sales in its first

    and second year of launch. For BIIB, if we assume EU region to contribute 10% and 20% of sales

    for 2014-2015, we estimate this could add ~$216M and $600M to topline, and $0.60 and $1.90.

    2. LINGO Phase II data in optic neuritis in H2-14. We think the investment thesis will start to shift

    by mid-year 2014 from Tecfidera sales to big pipeline upside from multiple mid -late stage

    readouts starting H2-14. We think general positive trends (visual acuity, remyelination of optic

    nerve, etc) is sufficient to give investors confidence the drug is active and could lead to positive

    efficacy in the much larger and more important Phase II MS study already enrolling on top of

    Avonex.

    3. Hemophilia launch expectations are relatively low for Biogen (stock has been moving on

    Tecfidera, not really hemophilia) but bullish investors think the market opportunity is significantfor a long-acting drug and BIIB might take up to 25% (or even more) of the $4B+ worldwide

    market. If sales come out greater than expected in the first years, investors will believe its likely

    BIIB could take more market share than expected which would be upside to consensus.

    4. Tysabri Phase III SPMS data early 2015.The primary endpoint is percentage of patients

    experiencing confirmed disability progression as measured by EDSS, T25FW and 9HPT. Given the

    lack of approved therapies, a strong trend but not statistically significant decrease in progression

  • 8/9/2019 131220 Biotechnology Positioning and What Matters in 2014

    28/196

    could induce greater use of Tysabri, especially since it is a continuum of patients transitioning

    from RRMS (Tysabri currently improved indication) to SPMS.

    What are the Key Pipeline Products To Watch?

    SMN-RX for SMA (Phase I/II multi-dose readout late 2013; anticipated Phase III start early 2014)

    Potential: The multi-dose study (n = 24) examines 3 doses in Type II/III patients, which should 1)

    identify the go-forward dose to maximize responders and 2) further de-risks program by showing

    durable Hammer-smith (for 9 months vs. 3 months reported in Mar, which resulted in stat sig

    Hammersmith improvement of 3.1 pts).

    Separately, BIIB and ISIS has also started examining 2 separate doses (3 intrathecal injections) in

    infants in hopes of identifying go-forward schedule for Phase III start in the most dire, Type

    patient population by early 2014.

    Background: Recall in Mar, BIIB and partner ISIS reported promising Phase I single-dose data ove

    85 days, where drug appears active and safe (see bull vs. bear debate below). BIIB has an option

    to license this program after "multi-dose" data YE:13/early'14. This is a favorable set-up for BIIB asthe study will be telling of response across 3 doses (likely higher than todays doses) and durability

    for 9 months. By 2014, a pivotal/Phase II/III single-arm study should be underway in infants and

    we think drug has potential for Breakthrough Designation. Our deep dive work, combined with

    today's data, leads us to believe SMN-Rx has at least 50% probability of success, $12B+ peak

    sales, or $1020/share of optionality value for BIIB.

    Data thus far: SMN-Rx demonstrated stat sig improvement (+3.1 pts) in Hammer-smith (function)

    at the "highest dose" of 9mg after only 1 injection on the expanded (0 -66 points) scale. Mean

    change of 3.1 points is promising, especially given majority (6/10) are responders, and 50% are

    over age of 5 where spontaneous improvement is unlikely. SMA is a rare genetic motor neuron

    disorder impacting the brain and spinal cord. It is caused by deletion/mutation of the survival

    motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, which results in reduced levels of the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN

    protein. Reduced SMN protein levels lead to dysfunction/loss of -motor neurons in the spina

    cord that is responsible for muscle contraction.

    ISIS SMN-Rx is an oligo-nucleotide that targets SMN2 gene to make more of the SMN protein. It

    does so by preventing the spliceosome from editing out exon-7. More exon-7 containing

    transcripts ("full length") gives more stable SMN proteins, which should help with motor neuron

    survival

    STX-100 for IPF (Phase II readout H2:14)Potential: In addition to safety and tolerability and PK/PD (serum t1/2 of antibody), this multi

    dose, dose-escalation study will examine if 8 consecutive weekly doses of STX-100 (subQ) can

    effect slowing of lung function decline as measured by FVC, FEV1 and DLCO, as well as

    radiographically. Measurements will be taken at week 4 and 8. While preliminary and (n= 8 ineach of 4 dosing cohort) trial, this study should provide signal of efficacy, if any vs. placebo (6

    treatment vs. 2 pbo in each cohort) in IPF.

    Background: STX-100 is a monoclonal antibody that targets integrin v6, which activates (TGF)

    complex responsible for fibroblast proliferation. Excessive fibroblast activity deposits extracellular

    matrix (ECM) in injured tissue, causing fibrosis.

    Integrin v6 is selectively expressed in epithelial tissues (lining of lungs) and (TGF) is highly

    over-expressed in lungs of IPF patients. Inhibition of integrinv6 may allow for the isolated and

    Biotechnology: Positioning and what matters in 2014

    December 20, 2013 28

  • 8/9/2019 131220 Biotechnology Positioning and What Matters in 2014

    29/196

    reduction of (TGF) effects in lung tissues only, without affecting (TGF) other functions as a

    cytokine in other tissues.

    Data thus far: In animal models, STX-100 has shown anti-fibrotic activity even when fibrosis is

    underway. BIIB has also shown good safety and tolerability in Phase I. Moreover, STX-100sactivity level of v6 inhibition could be tracked via biomarkers (e.g. M MP-12, MMP-13

    cathespinK, CCL9, CCL12 for macrophage activation) and correlate to clinical measurements.

    ANTI-LINGO for re-myelination in optic neuritis (Phase I readout Sep 2014)Potential: The RENEW trial in acute optic neuritis is a proof-of-concept study of ANTI-LINGOs

    ability to effect remyelination of the optic nerve, which should be manifested in measurable

    change in optic nerve conduction velocity from baseline of patients unaffected eye. Another

    clinical attribute would be thickness of the retinal ganglion cell layer, also measurable by spectral-

    domain optical coherence tomography. Clinically, patients will also be assessed for change in

    visual acuity. The double blind, placebo controlled study (n=80) should prove strong proof-of

    concept for possibility and degree of remyelination possible (ANTI-LINGO Q4W at 100mg/kg for

    20 wks) in a 6 month time-frame (measurements at baseline and wk 24).

    Background: MS is characterized by inflammation, accumulation of myelin lesions, axonal loss as

    well as neuro-degeneration. Treatments available today tackle mostly inflammation only. In

    earlier stages of RRMS, spontaneous remyelination occurs naturally and patients do not

    accumulate disability, but this ability gradually declines.

    Spontaneous Remyelination does occur naturally in some lesions of MS patients. This occurs

    frequently in early stages of disease (RRMS, where patients recover and do not accumulate

    disability), but infrequently in late stages disease (SPMS, where patients progressive accumulate

    disability). This suggests that promoting remyelination may prevent accumulation of axonal loss

    and disability.

    Oligodendrocytes are cells responsible for nourishing the axons as well as for myelin production.

    LINGO-1 is an integral membrane protein that prevents maturation of progenitor (OPCs) into new

    oligodendrocytes. The antagonization of LINGO-1 should promote oligodendrocyte differentiation

    for increased myelination.

    Data thus far: In cell-cultures, the antibody ANTI-LINGO leads to dose dependent production of

    myelin basic protein. ANTI-LINGO effects remyelination in de-myelinated rat brain samples, and

    shows functional recovery in rodents experimentally induced to mimic MS.

    BIIB-023 for Lupus Nephritis (Phase II readout: Nov 2014)Potential: The study will be first to show if BIIB-037 can induce complete or partial renal response

    as well as in composite SELENA-SLEDAI and BILAG scores over 52 wks in 300 patients with lupus

    nephritis. The study tests low vs. high dose of BIIB-023 (IV) vs. placebo in combination with oral

    steroids (prednisone and MMF).

    Background: TWEAK stands for TNF-Like Weak Inducer of apoptosis, a target discovered

    internally at BIIB. TWEAK signals only through one receptor, Fn14 (FGFinducible molecule 14) and

    is highly unregulated locally in target organs in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Lupus

    nephritis patients with renal involvement have higher levels of TWEAK than those without. In

    animal models, treatment with anti-TWEAK lowers cytokine production and reduces urinary

    protein levels (crude measure of kidney damage)

    30/196

    In lupus nephritis, there is a perpetual cycle of renal cell inflammation, injury and cell death.

    TWEAK signals through Fn14, which promotes persistent NK- activation and keeps the vicious

    cycle ongoing.

    BIIB-037 for Prodromal/Mild Alzheimers (Phase I readout: Nov 2014)Potential: In addition to providing safety (immunogenicity, PK serum concentrations, presence of

    amyloid-related edema or hemorrhage) and tolerability, this multi-dose study could provide

    proof-of-concept of BIIB-037s ability to cross the blood-brain-barrier and to reduce amyloid

    plaques as measured by 18F-AV-45 PET scans over 26-70 wks in 160 patients with Prodromal or

    mild Alzheimers.

    Background: BIIB believes Bapineuzumabs failure might be due to dosing limitation (every 3

    months because of micro-hemorrhage, when t1/2 of the antibody is 2 wks) rather than inherent

    flaw of the amyloid hypothesis. PET imaging reveals that Bapineuzumab does lead to decrease in

    amyloid plaques. Study failure could also be due to dosing in patients too advanced in the disease

    BIIB037 is reverse-engineered from aging patients who were cognitively stable over three years,

    who recovered from cognitive impairment, or whose AD only minimally progressed. Recombinantversions of antibodies isolated from patients was generated and selected for affinity towards
