Morgan Stanley 24th Annual Global Healthcare Conference summary
15 Sep, 2026Commercial performance and product launch
Six marketed products with a focus on rare diseases and a robust R&D pipeline, including two scientific platforms.
Sephience launch is exceeding expectations, with revenue annualizing above previous PKU therapies and targeting $2B+ in revenue.
Achieved 100% penetration in original U.S. centers of excellence, with 80% of PKU patients tied to these centers and additional centers identified.
Discontinuation rates for Sephience are around 20%, better than anticipated, with strong adherence even among difficult-to-treat patients.
Favorable payer policies and broad reauthorization criteria have supported compliance and access.
Clinical data and patient impact
Real-world and clinical data show Sephience benefits the full spectrum of PKU patients, including severe and therapy-naive cases.
Majority of responders achieve normalized phenylalanine levels, with improved diet liberalization and protein intake.
Presentations by independent KOLs reinforce Sephience’s value proposition.
Early uptake includes both treatment-experienced and naive patients, with 30% of new starts from the naive segment.
Physicians are considering Sephience as first-line therapy, including for newborns.
Global expansion and growth outlook
Rapid global launch with approvals in the U.S., Europe, and Japan within six months; strong early trajectory in Japan.
Ongoing launches and access programs in Germany, France, Southeastern Europe, Latin America, Middle East, North Africa, and Canada.
Pricing and reimbursement discussions are underway in major markets; inflection points expected as access is secured.
U.S. growth expected to be steady, with global growth driven by new market access and patient starts.
Raised full-year revenue guidance to $850M–$950M, primarily driven by Sephience.
