TD Cowen 45th Annual Healthcare Conference summary
26 Dec, 2025Portfolio overview and strategic focus
YUPELRI, a COPD therapy co-marketed with Viatris, is experiencing growth in the U.S. and has a pending approval in China, targeting a large COPD patient population.
Ampreloxetine, a phase III asset for neurogenic orthostatic hypotension in MSA, is expected to complete open-label enrollment by mid-2025, with data anticipated six months later and plans for expedited NDA filing.
Trelegy, a legacy asset, is generating near-term milestones ($50M in 2024, $50M in 2025, $100M in 2026) and will return royalties starting 2029 ex-U.S. and 2031 in the U.S.
Commitment to return excess capital to shareholders and provide financial guidance after Q4 results.
YUPELRI market opportunity and performance
U.S. market includes 1.9 million COPD patients suitable for nebulized therapy, with 200,000 on long-acting nebulized therapy and another 200,000 using short-acting nebs inappropriately.
YUPELRI is positioned as a once-daily, gold-standard therapy, with significant opportunity to convert patients from short-acting to long-acting therapy.
Hospital business has grown 40% year-over-year in Q3 2024, contributing significantly to overall performance.
Partnership with Viatris splits profit (65% Viatris, 35% Theravance) and targets both hospital and community settings.
China approval could yield a $7.5M milestone and 14%-20% tiered royalties.
Trelegy milestones and royalty outlook
$50M milestone for 2024 sales is likely, with additional $50M and $100M milestones in 2025 and 2026, respectively, based on current sales trends.
Royalties from Trelegy will resume in 2029 (ex-U.S.) and 2031 (U.S.), expected to provide meaningful future cash flow.
