44th Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference summary14 Jan, 2026

Strategic Overview and Vision

  • Transitioning from a science-focused to a commercial-stage company, targeting fundamental red blood cell pathways with genetically validated mechanisms for a spectrum of hematologic diseases, from rare (EPP) to common (anemia of chronic kidney disease, sickle cell, and anemias of inflammation).

  • Commercialization strategy focuses on rare disease launch, expanding into hematology-oncology and broader markets, aiming for sustainable standalone growth.

  • Three lead programs (bitopertin, DISC-0974, DISC-3405) address US markets exceeding $13B.

  • Efficient commercial infrastructure established, including 24 sales reps, 6 medical liaisons, and exclusive specialty pharmacy distribution.

  • Company is well-capitalized with $791 million in cash, providing runway into 2029, not assuming any product revenue.

Bitopertin for EPP: Clinical and Commercial Highlights

  • Bitopertin NDA submitted and under accelerated FDA review, with anticipated approval by end of January or early February and potential US launch in early to mid-2026.

  • Clinical trials (AURORA, BEACON) showed 50–60% reduction in toxic PPIX, 2–3x improvement in sunlight tolerance, and up to 92% reduction in phototoxic reactions.

  • Long-term extension data show sustained efficacy and safety, with over 90% of patients reporting significant improvement.

  • Launch readiness includes drug supply, access/reimbursement team, 24 sales reps, initial marketing using the label, and comprehensive patient support programs.

  • Targeting 14,000 diagnosed US patients (age 12+), with launch focused on top 120 sites and broader outreach to 8,000 additional patients.

Market Opportunity and Launch Dynamics

  • EPP market estimated at $2 billion+ if all 14,000 patients are reached; payer mix is favorable with commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid coverage.

  • Launch strategy includes patient advocacy, digital tools, direct outreach to physicians, and robust real-world validation.

  • Ex-US strategy leverages APOLLO trial as phase III for Europe and Japan, with filings expected to begin in 2027.

  • Commercial and clinical expansion supported by strong financial position and scalable infrastructure.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
