We’re halfway via 2022 and we have made nice progress throughout an necessary yr for the corporate. We continued to develop our in-line franchises, broaden our new product portfolio, advance our pipeline, and execute necessary enterprise improvement actions.

Our basis is robust and positions us nicely for progress. With respect to our industrial efficiency, we delivered continued gross sales progress with income up 5%, adjusting for international trade and non-GAAP EPS growing by 18%. The sturdy income progress was pushed by wonderful industrial execution with strong year-over-year progress for our in-line manufacturers, significantly for Eliquis and our I-O franchise, and important momentum from our new product portfolio. Inside our new product portfolio Opdualag, our third I-O agent, is off to a terrific begin and we’re happy with the workforce’s early execution.

Opdualag strengthens our place in I-O and accelerates the sustainability and progress of our I-O franchise. We’re additionally establishing a powerful basis for Camzyos as the primary agent that successfully treats the underlying situation of symptomatic obstructive HCM. We see plenty of potential to drive important penetration on this giant, underserved, and underdiagnosed inhabitants. We additionally made nice progress advancing our broad set of pipeline alternatives via regulatory approvals and scientific trial readouts throughout the quarter.

In hematology, we acquired U.S. FDA approval for Breyanzi with a best-in-class label in second-line giant B-cell lymphoma, in addition to EMA validation. With this approval, Breyanzi now has the broadest affected person eligibility of any CAR-T cell remedy in relapsed or refractory LBCL. This reinforces our alternative for management in cell remedy and additional strengthens our view of Breyanzi as a key progress driver for the corporate with over 3 billion in our risk-adjusted income potential in 2029.

In cardiovascular, we delivered constructive Section 2 information for Milvexian in secondary stroke prevention. And we’re wanting ahead to those information being introduced on the European Society of Cardiology assembly subsequent month. With this information in hand, we plan to provoke our Section 3 program by the top of the yr, which offers an necessary alternative to enhance outcomes for sufferers and prolong our world-leading anti-thrombotic enterprise into the subsequent decade. And in oncology, we proceed to strengthen the expansion outlook for Opdivo with one other indication in GI cancers the place it now has a number one place.

Throughout the quarter, our monetary outcomes had been sturdy with progress in our inline and new product companies. Our monetary power continues to supply us with important flexibility to deploy capital in a balanced means, together with for enterprise improvement. And throughout the quarter, we introduced an settlement to accumulate Turning Level Therapeutics, a number one precision oncology firm. On Slide 5, let’s talk about Turning Level’s lead asset repotrectinib, which is a next-generation potential best-in-class TKI concentrating on the ROS and NTRK driver mutations of non-small cell lung most cancers and superior strong tumors.

Importantly, as you’ll be able to see on the slide, the important thing first-line lung most cancers information that has been introduced for repotrectinib is differentiated from potential opponents on period of response and security profile. This acquisition will broaden our portfolio in precision oncology and in strong tumors and it’s a strategic match for the corporate. We anticipate the transaction to shut within the third quarter of this yr and consider it’ll assist our medium to long-term progress technique with accretion to non-GAAP EPS starting in 2025. We plan to proceed to leverage our monetary power to pursue transformational science via enterprise improvement.

Turning to our execution scorecard on Slide 6. We all know the significance of continued supply of key pipeline milestones, and we’ve made large progress throughout therapeutic areas this yr. Along with the important thing milestones I already talked about for Breyanzi and Milvexin, we’ve a wealthy mid to late-stage pipeline and we’re accelerating the subsequent era of potential medicines. Over time, we consider iberdomide and CC-92480 or mezigdomide have the potential to play an necessary function in a number of myeloma.

In that regard, we made good progress throughout the quarter, having moved iberdomide into its first registrational trial within the second-line setting of a number of myeloma. Trying forward, I’m inspired by the breadth of alternatives for the remainder of this yr and past. We sit up for the PDUFA date for deucravacitinib in psoriasis in September. We’re excited for the chance to deliver this oral of selection medication to average to extreme psoriasis sufferers quickly.

With a number of indications on the horizon, past psoriasis, we consider that this asset has better than 4 billion in non-risk-adjusted income potential in 2029. As well as, we additionally anticipate to see information to assist necessary enlargement alternatives for different key medicines over time. These embrace key information for Abecma, Opdivo, Opdualag, and Reblozyl. We hope that this information will allow these medicines to profit extra sufferers and additional broaden their industrial potential.

I stay excited concerning the a number of alternatives we’ve throughout our pipeline, and I sit up for persevering with to replace you on our progress. As I evaluate our efficiency throughout the first half of 2022, I am very pleased with the workers of Bristol-Myers Squibb around the globe. Collectively, we’ve constructed the muse for an excellent stronger firm with a extra diversified portfolio of progress merchandise and elevated sturdiness throughout every of our 4 key therapeutic areas. Our efficiency within the quarter continues to display the resiliency of our enterprise and our continued monetary power.

This consists of macroeconomic components such because the strengthening U.S. greenback and accelerating inflation, in addition to legislative headwinds within the U.S. Given our rising and quickly diversifying enterprise and our continued monetary flexibility, we stay very well-positioned for the longer term.

With that, I am going to flip it over to David to stroll you thru the financials intimately. David?

David Elkins — Chief Monetary Officer

Thanks, Giovanni, and thanks once more for all of you becoming a member of our second-quarter earnings name. Let’s flip to Slide 8 to debate our strong top-line efficiency. Until in any other case acknowledged, I’ll talk about our gross sales efficiency progress charges on an underlying foundation which excludes the impression of international trade. Second-quarter revenues had been roughly $11.9 billion, rising 5% yr over yr.

This efficiency is pushed by strong progress of our inline and new product portfolio of 16% greater than offsetting our latest LOEs. Let’s now double click on on our new product portfolio efficiency on Slide 9. International revenues had been practically $500 million, greater than doubling income versus prior yr. Development over prior quarter was additionally very sturdy, up 38%, primarily on account of sturdy launches of Abecma and Opdualag, which I’ll contact on in a second.

I am very happy with the efficiency of our new product portfolio and its future potential with two extra launches yr up to now and deucravacitinib’s anticipated approval in six weeks, our new product portfolio important enlargement alternatives, and the potential to generate better than $25 billion in income on a non-risk-adjusted foundation in 2029. I sit up for updating you on these merchandise as they proceed to understand their full potential. The efficiency of our strong tumor portfolio as proven on Slide 10 was sturdy. Opdivo gross sales within the quarter proceed to develop globally, pushed by demand for our newly launched and core indications.

Within the U.S. we delivered 12% progress for Opdivo versus prior yr, pushed by demand in first-line lung, renal, and gastric most cancers, in addition to adjuvant esophageal and bladder cancers, partially offset by some — Opdualag in first-line melanoma. Internationally, revenues had been additionally sturdy, rising 13%, primarily on account of progress from new indications, significantly first-line lung and renal cancers as we proceed to safe reimbursement in lots of nations. Trying ahead, we anticipate continued progress from Opdivo from our new and increasing indications in each early and late-stage cancers.

Yervoy gross sales grew 7% globally and within the U.S., revenues had been in step with prior yr as we skilled some variability in RCC and melanoma, in addition to increased stock burn and gross to internet changes this yr. Importantly, sequential revenues grew 5%, primarily pushed by demand in first-line lung most cancers, and we proceed to anticipate progress for the model. Now to our sturdy launch of Opdualag, the primary fixed-dose mixture of a LAG-3 and PD-1 inhibitor, whereas nonetheless early within the launch, we’ve already generated $58 million of gross sales within the quarter, pushed primarily by strong demand and $10 million of stocking. The strong demand for Opdualag has primarily been in step with our technique, taking share from PD-1 monotherapy and as anticipated, some large rather than Opdivo, Yervoy mixture.

Internationally, we’re happy with the latest CHMP constructive opinion in Europe and sit up for realizing Opdualag’s potential to be a brand new customary of care in sufferers with metastatic melanoma around the globe. Turning to our rising cardiovascular portfolio on slide 11, beginning with Eliquis, our main OAC globally with sturdy income progress of 20% yr over yr. Within the U.S., gross sales elevated 27% versus prior yr, pushed primarily by demand progress and favorable gross to internet changes. As a reminder, seeking to the third and fourth quarters, we anticipate the same old dynamics for Medicare protection hole with second half revenues being decrease than first half as we have seen in earlier years.

Internationally, gross sales grew 9% versus a yr in the past. This progress was primarily pushed by elevated share throughout key markets because the model continues to be the primary OAC in a number of nations. This was partially offset by pricing actions in lots of markets as demand grows and to a smaller extent, at-risk generic launch within the UK and the Netherlands. For the second half of the yr, we anticipate the impression of at-risk generic launch to be roughly $250 million.

Now turning to our most up-to-date launch, Camzyos. As you understand, the overwhelming majority of sufferers initiating therapy on Camzyos are beginning on a free trial provide for a minimum of 30 days after which the $3 million recorded in income within the quarter was primarily on account of stocking. Throughout the second quarter, we’ve efficiently laid the muse, leveraging our sturdy CV management in REMS to certify over 1,000 healthcare professionals. We are actually centered on broadening our consumer base and supporting the initiation of sufferers on Camzyos.

We’re happy with the doctor suggestions so far and sit up for serving to extra sufferers residing with symptomatic oHCM. Shifting on to a couple of our hematology merchandise on slide 12, beginning with Revlimid. Gross sales within the quarter had been roughly $2.5 billion. Gross sales had been primarily impacted by generic entry, significantly in worldwide markets.

Within the U.S., whereas we did expertise demand softness from the quantity generic entry within the quarter, we perceive that specialty pharmacies are primarily using the present generic for brand spanking new sufferers to make sure continuity of therapy. As talked about previously, we all know there can be variability quarter to quarter based mostly on how generics will deploy their quantity. As extra entrants can be coming to the market within the U.S. within the third quarter, we anticipate Q3 revenues to be roughly $2.1 billion.

We maintained our full-year international gross sales steering of $9 billion to $9.5 billion. Pomalyst international revenues grew 9% versus prior yr, primarily pushed by demand for triple-base regimens in earlier strains and lengthening period of therapy. Now, transferring to Reblozyl, which generated $172 million within the quarter, up a powerful 36% versus prior yr. Within the U.S., we’re seeing encouraging tendencies in affected person adherence and prolonged therapy period.

Exterior of the U.S., Reblozyl continues to develop pushed by demand in each MDS and beta thalassemia-associated anemia, and as we attain reimbursement in extra nations. Lastly, turning to our cell remedy belongings, Abecma and Breyanzi. Abecma generated sturdy revenues within the quarter, equaling $89 million. This represents a 36% sequential improve over final quarter pushed by expanded capability and vector provide.

Although had been inspired to deal with extra a number of myeloma sufferers, demand continues to outpace provide, and we’re centered on additional increasing capability, together with extra manufacturing websites sooner or later. Because it pertains to Breyanzi, gross sales within the quarter had been $39 million. Demand remained sturdy for the model, though gross sales had been impacted by lower-than-expected manufacturing success charges, which now have been addressed. Importantly, as Giovanni talked about, we’re very happy to have acquired a differentiated broad second-line label in giant B-cell lymphoma sufferers.

We’re working exhausting and investing to broaden capability early subsequent yr to allow replace for this indication. As we work via constructing extra capability to deal with extra sufferers in earlier strains, we anticipate revenues within the third and fourth quarters to be largely much like the primary quarter of this yr. Shifting on to our immunology product abstract on Slide 13. Orencia international gross sales grew 11% versus prior yr on account of expanded U.S.

gross sales, pushed by elevated market share in addition to demand in worldwide markets. Turning to Zeposia, international gross sales for the quarter had been $66 million, greater than doubling gross sales versus final yr, primarily on account of enlargement of Zeposia into ulcerative colitis. Sequentially, within the U.S., gross sales had been primarily pushed by a mixture of favorable gross to nets and wholesale shopping for patterns of roughly $20 million. Importantly, we’re inspired by the 24% demand progress over the earlier quarter and we stay centered on working to for broaden quantity, so we are able to proceed to enhance entry in 2023.

Internationally, Zeposia continues to safe reimbursement in different markets for MS and UC. Closing out on immunology. We very a lot sit up for broadening our portfolio with one other first-in-class asset, our selective TYK2 inhibitor to deucravacitinib. Our industrial and medical groups are in place and we’re prepared for launch.

Now let’s flip to Slide 14 to debate the second quarter P&L. I’ve already mentioned our revenues, so I am going to now concentrate on the opposite key line merchandise — non-GAAP line gadgets. Gross margins decreased primarily on account of product combine, partially offset by international trade and associated hedging settlements. Our working bills, excluding acquired in-process R&D had been broadly in step with prior yr, pushed by increased investments round our new product portfolio and pipeline offset primarily by international trade.

Acquired in-process R&D prices within the quarter had been $400 million, primarily pushed by the buyout of a royalty obligation for Camzyos of $295 million in addition to a $90 million upfront for BridgeBio. This accounted for a 17% impression to diluted EPS. Acquired in-process R&D prices within the prior yr had been roughly $793 million, which accounted for a $0.30 impression to diluted EPS. The second quarter tax charge was impacted by earnings combine.

And lastly, we delivered sturdy non-GAAP EPS progress within the quarter, up 18% yr over yr. This consists of the $0.14 impression of acquired in-process R&D. Excluding acquired in-process R&D, non-GAAP EPS would have grown 7%. Now transferring to the stability sheet and capital allocation on Slide 15.

The corporate’s stability sheet stays sturdy with $13.2 billion in money and marketable securities readily available as of June 30. Money stream from operations within the first half of the yr was $6.1 billion. Within the quarter, it was roughly $2.3 billion, which is impacted by a money tax cost, and we anticipate money stream from operations to rebound in Q3 and This fall. Our capital allocation priorities stay unchanged.

Enterprise improvement continues to be a prime precedence, and we proceed to execute on this precedence with the announcement of the deliberate acquisition of Turning Level Therapeutics. We stay dedicated to continued debt discount. Within the quarter, we repaid $2.9 billion of debt and we stay dedicated to returning capital to shareholders. We executed a $5 billion ASR earlier this yr and stay opportunistic about repurchases sooner or later.

Now turning to our 2022 non-GAAP steering on Slide 16. We’re updating our income steering to be roughly $46 billion this yr, reflecting the numerous appreciation of the U.S. greenback to different international currencies. Excluding the results of forex, the underlying gross sales progress for the enterprise anticipated to be 2% versus 2021.

We estimate the FX impression to full-year gross sales at at this time’s spot charge to be about $1.5 billion. We proceed to anticipate our In-Line and new product portfolio to develop within the low double-digit vary and reaffirm our LOE steering, together with Revlimid’s steering of $9 billion to $9.5 billion for the yr. Gross margin is predicted to be roughly 79%, up 100 foundation factors from earlier steering on account of favorable impression of forex and associated hedging settlements. Our working expense steering, excluding acquired in course of R&D remained unchanged, declining within the low single-digits versus prior yr.

That is primarily pushed by favorability in FX in addition to price self-discipline. By way of phasing for the second half of the yr, we anticipate a extra even phasing of bills than in prior years. All stated, we’re reaffirming our non-GAAP adjusted EPS steering based mostly on the underlying power of our portfolio, mitigating forex translation from our pure hedges and hedging program. Earlier than we transfer to Q&A, I simply wished to specific my gratitude to all our colleagues around the globe for persevering with to ship sturdy industrial, scientific and monetary outcomes.

The resiliency of our firm and thrilling catalysts forward make me energized by the expansion alternative forward of us. I am going to now flip the decision again over to Tim and Giovanni for Q&A.

Giovanni Caforio — Board Chair and Chief Govt Officer

Thanks, David. Sara, might we go to our first query, please?

Questions & Solutions:

Operator

Thanks. [Operator instructions] And we’ll take our first caller from Chris Shibutani with Goldman Sachs.

Unknown speaker — Goldman Sachs — Analyst

Hello. That is Dan on for Chris. Thanks for taking our query. Two from us.

First on the Milvexian readout, when you might possibly body some areas of focus into the ESC information and supply any extra shade into the way you’re occupied with the Section 3 program as the info is in-house. After which second, on Camzyos, if there’s any extra suggestions you’ll be able to present on among the early launch dynamics and your expectations into the second half of the yr and early subsequent yr. Thanks.

Giovanni Caforio — Board Chair and Chief Govt Officer

Thanks, Dan. Samit will reply your query on Milvexian, and Chris present some incremental shade on Camzyos. Thanks.

Samit Hirawat — Chief Medical Officer and Head of International Drug Improvement

Positive. Thanks, Giovanni, and thanks, Dan, for the query Milvexian, definitely wanting ahead to having the info introduced at ESC and discussing the outcomes. And naturally, as you understand, we’ll go into the main points with the opposite specifics of the info itself. However I feel there are two questions that most likely are necessary to reply, than we have a look at the info.

And that will be one associated to the efficacy, particularly on the subject of impression on clinically confirmed ischemic strokes. And the second, in fact, is to take a look at bleeding charges, and extra particularly over there, one which physicians and sufferers would have an interest to find out about can be most likely associated to intracranial bleeds, the place sufferers with strokes will be predisposed to have the — in addition to if there are any additional bleeds. And so these are the sorts of questions that we got down to reply. And I feel these are the questions that individuals can be very to know.

For Camzyos, let me go it on to Chris to take you thru.

Chris Boerner — Chief Commercialization Officer

Thanks, Samit, and thanks, Dan, for the query. We’re very happy with the early launch of Camzyos, whereas it is nonetheless very early days. We’re off to an excellent begin. And what I’d say is that, by and enormous, the efficiency that we’re seeing is aligned to our expectations.

And I’d spotlight possibly two or three issues. First, consciousness is superb. We have seen extremely sturdy enthusiasm for the product from each physicians and sufferers. Importantly, the suggestions that we’re getting on the scientific program has been overwhelmingly constructive and constant.

I’ll offer you some vignette on that. Sufferers are seeing important profit, each when it comes to really feel and performance. And that profit is being seen very early, the truth is, as early as 4 weeks publish initiating therapy. And that is actually necessary as a result of it is pushed plenty of enthusiasm, each from sufferers and its given physicians, a purpose to consider that the product resides as much as the promise that we’ve.

By way of doctor expertise, the suggestions has been very constructive. The REMS schooling that we have initiated is intuitive, getting on and authorized for REMS has been easy. And as David talked about, that is translated to over 1,400 HCPs being REM licensed. And one factor I’d spotlight is that that is most likely a very powerful main indicator for this product launch, given the truth that you do not have a historical past of REMS within the cardiovascular area, physicians are going to be REMS licensed if they’ve intent to make use of.

The very last thing I’d spotlight is we’re seeing a wholesome improve within the variety of facilities prescribing week over week. We do not see any entry points on the horizon that will stop these sufferers who’re getting on to remedy changing to drug. And so if I sum it up, efficiency is in step with expectations. We’re proud of what we’re seeing, and we very a lot sit up for the continued uptake of this product over the course of the yr.

Tim Energy — Vice President, Investor Relations

OK. Thanks, Chris. Sara, can we go to the subsequent query, please?

Operator

Thanks. And subsequent, we’ll take Andrew Baum with Citi.

Andrew Baum — Citi — Analyst

Thanks. First query on Milvexian. Is there any chance you could possibly expedite what is going on to be a really giant and lengthy period scientific trial program via the adoption of MRI-defined strokes inside a composite endpoint both to expedite the trial or to lower then acquired for the trials? Second, might you touch upon whether or not you’re exploring your CD19, CD3 at your CD19 CAR T, excuse me, Breyanzi, for autoimmune indications given among the latest information in lupus. After which lastly, one among your opponents introduced some intriguing information with [Inaudible] associated to [Inaudible] in MSS colorectal most cancers.

I do know that Bristol has one in, I feel, two, when you might present us any replace on that, that will be helpful. Many thanks.

Giovanni Caforio — Board Chair and Chief Govt Officer

Thanks, Andrew. I am going to ask Samit to reply your three questions.

Samit Hirawat — Chief Medical Officer and Head of International Drug Improvement

Sure. Thanks, Giovanni, and thanks, Andrew. Very considerate questions, as at all times. For Milvexian, look, we’re not clearly going to get into the Section 3 indications proper now.

However from a Section 2 perspective, you’ll definitely get to see the info. And what’s necessary is from a doctor’s perspective, what issues actually is the scientific strokes and people definitely would be the questions to debate when the info are introduced. On the CD19 aspect, definitely very intriguing information within the autoimmune illness, particularly within the lupus, SLE sufferers who’re severely impacted by the illness. These are the issues that we proceed to debate from a scientific perspective, tips on how to discover, the place to discover and definitely not hitting from us.

And as we evolve in our pondering, we’ll share with everybody the place we’re going with that, the German information had been very intriguing, I’ve to say, and as we introduced earlier this yr. For CTLA-4, we have seen the info on CRC from a competitor. From our perspective, we’ve three CTLA-4 antibodies in improvement, the Non-Fucosylated Probody in addition to the Non-Fucosylated Probody. So there are three which might be in improvement.

The way in which we give it some thought is, primary, we’ve an ongoing research in MSS TRC for that you understand that we simply initiated the Opdualag evaluating to the usual of care. And for future developments for CTLA-4 antibodies, we’ve to consider mixture methods as a result of we all know that many occasions even previously, when single brokers have been used, the response charges finally in registration trials have actually been single-digit or low single-digits the truth is. So we are going to clearly be capable to share the info as soon as we’ve these mixture research accomplished. They’re presently ongoing.

Too early to speak concerning the information at the moment. We’re definitely conscious of the CRC information.

Andrew Baum — Citi — Analyst

Thanks, Samit.

Tim Energy — Vice President, Investor Relations

Sara, can we go to the subsequent query, please?

Operator

We’ll take our subsequent query from Geoff Meacham with Financial institution of America.

Geoff Meacham — Financial institution of America Merrill Lynch — Analyst

Hey, guys. Thanks a lot for the questions. I had a industrial one and a pipeline one. Chris, on Reblozyl, are you able to speak concerning the U.S.

tendencies, what does period of remedy appear like at this time versus, say, a yr in the past? And does demand assist upside your peak forecast? After which Samit or Giovanni, I do know Turning Level hasn’t closed but, however how a lot of a spotlight is I-O plus focused remedy for Bristol wanting ahead? I do know your ROS1 combos are most likely extra possible than to not come — to play out within the pipeline. However past that, do you guys see this as form of a brand new kind of modality to form of bolt-on to an I-O technique? Thanks.

Giovanni Caforio — Board Chair and Chief Govt Officer

Thanks, Geoff. Chris, why do not you begin on Reblozyl after which Samit will touch upon oncology technique.

Chris Boerner — Chief Commercialization Officer

Sure. Thanks for the query, Geoff. We’re very happy with the continued uptick that we’re seeing with Reblozyl. We had good progress within the quarter versus prior yr in addition to sequentially.

I’d spotlight a couple of issues. First, we’re persevering with to see good acquisition of recent sufferers for this product. One of many issues that we glance very fastidiously at is what are physicians’ perceptions of the product and importantly, how rapidly they’re transferring sufferers off of ESAs to get on Reblozyl remedy. That point on ESAs when sufferers are usually not getting an enough response continues to shorten, which is a number one indicator of the variety of sufferers that can be inside the indication that we’ve.

And importantly, we’re seeing good tendencies in each dosing and administration. The typical MDS dose by cycle has grown steadily throughout the course of this launch and has elevated this yr. That is resulted in improved efficacy and longer period of remedy which, to your query, has been up 6% this yr relative to the place we had been in 2021. And whereas your query was primarily centered, I feel, on the U.S., I’d spotlight that ex-U.S., the launch is early, however we’re seeing superb uptake within the early launch markets, notably markets like Germany, after which we’ll have extra entry and reimbursement selections ex-U.S.

So total, we really feel superb about the place we’re, and we sit up for continued uptick of this product as we undergo the rest of the yr.

Samit Hirawat — Chief Medical Officer and Head of International Drug Improvement

Thanks, Chris and Geoff. Perhaps I can tackle the Turning Level query. So initially, excited concerning the acquisition of Turning Level Therapeutics and searching ahead to bringing repotrectinib to sufferers within the second half of subsequent yr. Your query across the mixtures.

These are all going to be at all times data-dependent and so explorations will proceed. Though at the moment, definitely, there’s plenty of data and plenty of emergence of knowledge TKI mixtures or tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which aren’t essentially mutation-specific tyrosine kinase, which have generated plenty of curiosity and plenty of information and have been authorised in a number of indications when mixed with I-O therapies, but it surely does present extra alternatives sooner or later to take a look at these kinds of mixtures and extra particular pre-specified populations and chosen affected person populations, however these can be information that can must be generated on the present time, too early to inform.

Geoff Meacham — Financial institution of America Merrill Lynch — Analyst

Thanks, Samit.

Tim Energy — Vice President, Investor Relations

Nice. Sara, can we go to the subsequent query, please?

Operator

We’ll take our subsequent query from Chris Schott with J.P. Morgan.

Chris Schott — J.P. Morgan — Analyst

Hello, nice. Thanks a lot for the questions. I suppose the primary one for me was on Breyanzi when it comes to what is the newest on possibly the timing and possibly as importantly, the magnitude of your capability enlargement. It feels like this may need been getting pushed out into 2023 versus I feel beforehand, you had been speaking about possibly a 4Q goal.

I simply wished to elaborate a bit extra on what’s occurring there? And the second query was on Camzyos. I do know there is a little bit of a lag between when docs get licensed for the REMS and when Bristol truly begins to generate gross sales for the drug. However as we simply form of take into consideration the gross sales ramp from right here, ought to we be occupied with this as a reasonably gradual course of, or is that this a product that would see a steeper ramp beginning someday later this yr, given the third some recognized form of sufferers on the market? I am simply attempting to see when it comes to expectation setting of how to consider the ramp given among the, I suppose, the promising preliminary information when it comes to the variety of physicians getting licensed, and so forth. Thanks.

Giovanni Caforio — Board Chair and Chief Govt Officer

Thanks, Chris. Chris?

Chris Boerner — Chief Commercialization Officer

Thanks for the query, Chris. On Breyanzi, what I’d say simply on the outset round cell remedy normally, is that the demand within the quarter for each of those merchandise, Abecma and Breyanzi, was sturdy. We proceed to be very happy with the suggestions on the profiles of those merchandise and importantly, how these profiles place us competitively. With respect to Breyanzi, as David talked about earlier, we had underlying demand that was very sturdy.

We’re clearly very happy with the second-line approval and the truth that it is given us the broadest label of any CAR T in DLBCL. However as David additionally talked about, gross sales had been impacted within the quarter by manufacturing success charges. These success charges, the problem underlying that was resolved, and we anticipate success charges to enhance as we head into this quarter. Extra usually round manufacturing with Breyanzi, given the broader label, we had clearly hoped to have elevated capability within the second half of this yr.

We’re now anticipating that in Q1 of 2023, delivering that capability is a prime precedence. The main focus right here is on growing each vector and drug product provide. I’ll be aware that we have seen a pleasant improve within the capability for Abecma, pushed by profitable drug product enlargement and growing in vector provide, and we anticipate that, that very same focus can be now utilized to Breyanzi and have each expectation that we’ll be capable to ship on that. That capability goes to be necessary.

As a result of given the broad label with this product and the compelling profile, slot availability goes to be important. So the excellent news is we’ve a really sturdy manufacturing workforce centered on growing the availability, and we sit up for delivering that offer within the first a part of the yr. As for Camzyos and the tempo of launch, I’d view this as a gentle improve within the variety of sufferers. There are going to be 4 issues which might be actually going to find out the tempo of this launch.

Doctor and affected person demand, the quantity of REM-certified physicians, how rapidly these sufferers come to get on Camzyos remedy after which clearly, the conversion of these sufferers to industrial drug. And I’d say actually throughout all of these dimensions, we’re proud of what we’re seeing as I referenced earlier, it is in step with the place we anticipated to be this early within the launch. As I discussed earlier, the demand for the product may be very sturdy. We’re getting nice suggestions from each sufferers and physicians.

I spoke to the quantity of customers and the truth that we’re seeing a pleasant improve within the variety of REMS-certified physicians each week. We had advised you beforehand, I feel, the truth is, final quarter, that we anticipated sufferers to provoke remedy throughout their routine visits. And that is largely taking part in out. Although I’d say, we have seen a variety of accounts, together with a few of our smaller and medium-sized accounts rapidly getting a number of sufferers on to drug.

We’re additionally seeing a few of our bigger accounts organizing Camzyos clinic days in order that they will effectively deliver bigger volumes of sufferers, provoke them and monitor them. So once more, that is the place we thought it could be. After which lastly, as I referenced earlier, entry goes to be an necessary consideration right here. Just about, all oral specialty merchandise like Camzyos undergo this era of two to 6 months of getting on to formulary.

Throughout that interval, the vast majority of sufferers are going to go on to free product. That is what we’re seeing right here. However once more, the excellent news is we’re not seeing any entry points. So we do not foresee any challenges changing these sufferers to industrial drug.

So once you add it up, we anticipate the quantity goes to extend over the course of the yr. And then you definitely’ll see these sufferers convert to industrial gross sales as formulary standing is achieved. However backside line, we’re very proud of what we’re seeing so far very a lot in step with expectations.

First, in your deucravacitinib FDA discussions up to now, has there been any point out of a field warning in any respect, or has that not come up in any dialog?

Thanks.

Samit Hirawat — Chief Medical Officer and Head of International Drug Improvement

Sure. Thanks. Steve, as Giovanni has talked about, no specifics to be offered right here. What I can repeat, I feel, from the previous conversations we have had is our confidence within the information itself and we take into consideration from an efficacy perspective, differentiation and superiority that has been confirmed via the Section 3 trial versus Otezla from a security perspective, exhibiting differentiation once we take into consideration the JAK inhibitors versus deucravacitinib, first in inhibitor.

And that is that profile that has continued to evolve via a number of different trials that has given us the boldness to provoke the applications, as you understand, in psoriatic arthritis, two Section 3 trials ongoing, and likewise now wanting ahead to initiation of the SLE Section 3 trials on the finish of the yr, starting of subsequent yr. So total, we’re wanting ahead to September 10 PDUFA date and bringing this new medication to sufferers. In the same means, I’d say, within the cardiac myosin inhibitors, it’s troublesome and never acceptable most likely for us to touch upon different folks’s drug as to what a profile goes to appear like and if they are going to have any warning and precautions within the label or not. What we are able to say although is once more I consider in Camzyos as already alluded to purchase by Chris nicely and David his remarks are our consider within the information and our physicians are appearing when it comes to getting skilled and prescribing it to the sufferers.

Thanks for the query. So simply a few fast questions. First off, that is actually for Giovanni. Ought to Congress go the Medicare pricing reform.

Are you able to simply assist us perceive what impacts you assume that is more likely to have, whether or not or not it’s on innovation but additionally by yourself long-term steering from that perspective. And are you hopeful that there may be — ought to this undergo potential adjustments that would mood the impression maybe a push out of this small molecule of 9 years of safety and maybe possibly push that out to 12 or 13 years. Simply questioning if there’s — there are any alternatives to assume a bit bit extra constructively about this. After which individually, hoping to only get a bit little bit of shade on the launch dynamics round deucravacitinib.

You guys are commenting in your enthusiasm to form of get this product to market and to sufferers. Simply wished to get a greater sense of ought to the label even have a JAK boxed warning, which we do not essentially anticipate, however ought to that happen, what are you listening to from physicians with regard to the chance to form of work round that? Perhaps simply as a clarifying query. We have gotten plenty of questions from traders on the likelihood that if there have been a JAK warning, might it truly be publish biologic, would not make plenty of sense to us. Simply questioning the place you guys stand on that proposal.

Thanks a lot.

Giovanni Caforio — Board Chair and Chief Govt Officer

Thanks, Seamus. Let me begin on pricing reform after which Chris will touch upon deucravacitinib. So initially, as you understand, discussions are ongoing in Congress, and it is troublesome to invest precisely on the invoice and among the particulars. They are going to be included within the invoice.

There will even be clearly an extended interval throughout which implementation of among the measures can be clarified and among the dynamics can be actually necessary to grasp. So with respect to your query on would there be an impression to innovation. So initially, we have constantly stated that the weather of reform that enhance affordability for sufferers, we’re supportive of. And so for example, the redesign of the Half D profit and establishing one other pocket for sufferers.

That is very useful, and we’re positively very supportive of that. There are parts within the invoice, nonetheless, that are clearly very detrimental to innovation and significantly worth setting by the federal government at 9 and 13 years, clearly have the potential to have a unfavourable impression on innovation total. I’d say that with respect to the impression for our firm, there’s two issues I can say at this level. To start with, it is actually not useful to take a look at our publicity to the channel at this time.

I feel it is necessary to actually perceive the dynamics that can develop over the subsequent few years earlier than these insurance policies are applied. And a few issues I would prefer to say. To start with, clearly, as you understand, Revlimid revenues within the U.S. are declining quickly.

Eliquis, we share that fifty% with Pfizer. After which importantly, as you concentrate on Opdivo, that loses exclusivity on the finish of the last decade. So what I can say is that our quickly diversifying portfolio and a major variety of new medicines that we’re launching at this time and can be launching earlier than some key parts of this coverage are applied, place us nicely to navigate the challenges related to reform for your complete trade. However clearly, there’s way more than we have to be taught, initially, via a possible finalization of the invoice; and second, actually understanding higher among the parts of its implementation.

They’re very skilled. What I’ve stated beforehand, I feel, is the place we’ll begin this dialog, which is that we discover each significant situation as we take into consideration the launch of any new product, however we proceed to index closely on the situation, the place we expect that the preclinical and scientific information assist and that’s that it is a distinctive mechanism of motion that’s clearly differentiated from different merchandise within the class. And really, once we speak to clients, we get an virtually uniform alignment that, that is the appropriate means to consider deucravacitinib, that the mechanism based mostly on the entire information that we have seen is exclusive and it’s differentiated, it is differentiated not solely from JAKs, but it surely’s differentiated, most significantly, from the present customary of look after oral brokers treating moderate-to-severe sufferers. And in order we step again and take into consideration this product, we anticipate very sturdy demand for deucravacitinib based mostly on the scientific profile from two Section 3 research that present clear superiority relative to the present customary of care.

So in SSP setting, simply theoretically ignoring any information you have already got at hand, should not we anticipate that very same form of factor the place we might possible see a minimum of some extra bleeding after which we might have to attend in opposition to efficacy, or is it within the realm of prospects that you just actually do not see any extra bleeding in that triple remedy arm? After which TYK2, you guys expressed excessive confidence within the molecule. I am questioning why you have not superior but to mild-to-moderate sufferers, when you’re pretty assured within the label why not push forward in Section 3 and begin to broaden the market like Otezla has already accomplished.

However let me simply reiterate that to 2 questions that will be necessary from all people’s perspective is on the efficacy, wanting on the scientific strokes; and secondly, from a bleed perspective, it turns into essential, what sort of bleed and particularly, once we take into consideration the deadly bleeds into lead, significant bleed that grow to be necessary.

Positive. So we’re very happy with the place we’re with the Opdualag approval and the early uptake, the execution of the workforce has been very sturdy and doctor response has been fairly constructive. By way of the dynamics inside the market, shares in first-line metastatic melanoma are within the low double digits for Opdualag. We’ve got seen some early use in second-line plus sufferers that is primarily pushed by the truth that, keep in mind, the stream of newly recognized metastatic melanoma will be considerably staggered simply given the quantity of sufferers you will have on this market.

And so what we’re seeing shouldn’t be solely are physicians utilizing the product in first line, however they’re additionally wanting to make use of it in second-line as sufferers both progress or they’re keen to modify sufferers. By way of who these sufferers are, that dynamic is taking part in out largely as anticipated.

We’re seeing some modest conversion of Opdivo, Yervoy to Opdualag.

However at this level, that is very a lot inside the — what we had anticipated. So total, I’d say Opdualag first, the efficiency continues to be superb.

The outcomes of Breyanzi had been introduced on the latest ASCO exhibiting Opdivo possibly ought to be used even forward of BRAF inhibitor mixtures.

Positive. Properly, thanks for the query, Matthew. We’ve got lengthy believed that I-O has promised in enhancing the end result of BRAF mutant-positive sufferers. As we speak, as chances are you’ll know, the usage of I-O, significantly as a first-line therapy in that inhabitants remains to be considerably restricted.

It is round 30% to 35% of that inhabitants. The dramatic information that had been introduced truly final yr at ASCO are probably practiced forming in that they supply, I feel, necessary insights into tips on how to finest sequence twin I-O remedy relative to focused remedy.

So in that regard, the info are compelling and it might probably inform observe.

The one large caveat to remember right here is that focused remedy mixture used for first-line BRAF-mutant sufferers has been very sticky. And so whereas we might even see some use of twin I-O within the frontline setting based mostly on Breyanzi I’d anticipate that will be primarily a tutorial setting, primarily as a result of that is the place the info are going to be most identified. Keep in mind, we will not promote to this information. So I feel it is unlikely you are going to see broader adoption.

The Netherlands may be very completely different as a result of within the Netherlands generic firm determined to launch earlier than the trial truly occurred on the deserves. And clearly, that trial remains to be ongoing.

There are generics of Eliquis that we anticipate to enter the market in Canada that was deliberate later this yr. And as we have communicated earlier than, there are comparable lawsuits ongoing in different in different EU nations and each nation truly is totally impartial and every jurisdiction will decide impartial. From our perspective, we proceed to be very a lot satisfied concerning the power of our IP and can defend each case in each nation. David?

And, Carter, additionally simply recall, the overwhelming majority of our progress comes from the U.S., and we’ve patent safety till April 1, 2028. So really feel actually sturdy concerning the progress potential — continued progress potential of Eliquis by that. However simply to contextualize our enterprise within the UK is about $500 million. And what we stated is it will likely be about — between the UK and the Netherlands, it will likely be about $250 million this yr.

And as Giovanni talked about within the different European markets, we’ll proceed to vigorously defend our mental property in there. That gives some context on how we’re occupied with the expansion potential of this.
