Q: The guidance suggests adding $215 million in AYVAKIT sales this year, but to reach $2 billion by 2030, you'll need to increase annual sales additions. What is the most important lever to achieve this? A: Kathryn Haviland, CEO, emphasized the strong growth trajectory for AYVAKIT, noting that the company is building a solid foundation with experienced prescribers. Christina Rossi, COO, added that expanding the commercial field infrastructure will support growth into 2026 and beyond, enabling the company to reach more diagnosed ISM patients.
Q: After reporting BLU-808 data in healthy volunteers, how do you view the safety profile and potential dosing strategies for different indications? A: Lemuel Hewes, CMO, highlighted the wide therapeutic index of BLU-808, allowing for multiple dosing strategies. The company plans to explore these strategies in chronic urticaria and other indications, with initial data expected later this year.
Q: How much of the expected growth in 2025 is driven by existing patients versus new patients for AYVAKIT? A: Philina Lee, CCO, noted significant potential for growth from both existing and new prescribers. The company expects to see increased adoption across various specialties, with positive first experiences leading to more patients being treated over time.
Q: What assumptions are built into the $2 billion guidance for AYVAKIT, and do you expect any competitor entries? A: Christina Rossi, COO, stated that the guidance considers significant headroom for growth, with the most significant competition being symptom-directed therapy. The company is confident in achieving the $2 billion target through steady growth in patient treatment.
Q: Can you provide more details on the field team expansion and its impact on reaching more patients? A: Philina Lee, CCO, explained that the field team expansion will enable more frequent engagements with existing providers and broaden reach to medical dermatologists and gastroenterologists.
