Allergan's June 30th Pipeline Update Highlighted Flawed
R&D Strategy And Misunderstanding of Evolving Markets
Despite spending $1.3 billion on product acquisitions and $2.8 billion
on R&D over the last three years, it remains unclear whether Allergan
has any late stage programs capable of moving the needle
► Anti-VEGF DARPin
■ Efficacy data, to date, lack sufficient clinical differentiation vs. incumbents
■ Significant safety concerns persist and may ultimately preclude adoption
■ Two entrenched market leaders with same the mechanism-of-action (anti-VEGF) limit market
penetration if approved
■
Broad use of Avastin a major threat to marginally differentiated, late entrants
■ Anti-PDGF, gene therapy and combination products in others' pipelines competing for
increasingly crowded AMD market
Semprana/Levadex
■ Overpaid for an asset that lacks clinical differentiation
■ Approval delays eroding opportunity as generics and new branded products enter market
■ Development of highly effective prophylactics (GCRP mAbs) may shrink opportunity
Ozuredex
■ Narrow label limits use to select patient sub-populations
■ Potential new competitor, lluvien, as early as year-end 2014
▸ Bimatoprost Sustained-Release
■ Use will be limited to patients who prefer injection in eyeball to daily drops
■ Outstanding pricing question: similar to generics or branded agents?
