Q & A Highlights
Q: Could you give us some timelines for the de-scheduling of QUVIVIQ in the US or any tangible next steps that you could share? Also, for TRYVIO, could you talk us through payer discussions and access levels and any conversations you've had so far? Lastly, what do you consider to be the most important data point looking into the next 12 months? A: Michael Moye, President, US: On de-scheduling, we have benchmarked other products that have gone through this process, and we project that within the next year or so would be consistent with those benchmarks. On TRYVIO, discussions with payers have been positive, as the product addresses a significant unmet need for patients with resistant hypertension. Andre Muller, CFO: Our priorities include achieving CHF110 million in sales for QUVIVIQ in Europe and Canada, securing a partner for aprocitentan, and advancing our innovative pipeline.
