| |
20/8 15:30 af Jan Van de Winkel |
We are updating our 2019 financial guidance, from what was initially published on Feb. 20, due to increased royalty income related to the sales of DARZALEX (positive impact of USD/DKK exchange rates movements) and increased operating expenses as a result of the advancement of our product pipeline…
| |
20/8 15:30 af Jan Van de Winkel |
DARZALEX H1 net sales were USD 1,403 million vs USD 943 million in H1 18, driven by the continued strong uptake in the US, EU and Japan – resulting in royalties of DKK 1,169M – we firmly expect to reach net sales USD 3 billion in 2019…

| |
20/8 15:33 af Helge Larsen/PI-redaktør |
Bikube : At Q3 in -2017 and -2018 a discount was deducted in ROW, is that something we can expect again at Q3 this year, after getting an extra 16% at Q2?
| |
20/8 15:34 af Jan Van de Winkel |
No further price adjustments anticipated at this stage in 2019.
| |
20/8 15:35 af SP-1 |
For the Q&A perhaps a short economic question. Is the renewed guidance for 2019 bases on the already realized exchange gain until now (where we are sure about the dollar value) or is this also estimated for the possible value of the dollar for the upcoming months?
| |
20/8 15:36 af Jan Van de Winkel |
FX gain in the first 6 months was about 90 mio kroner on the Darzalex royalties. We increased the guidance for the full year by 200 mio kr.
| |
20/8 15:36 af peter12 |
There is a lockup period in the new IPO of 180 days. Does it make sense in this IPO and in case it does, who are restricted ?
| |
20/8 15:37 af Jan Van de Winkel |
Directors, executives and senior management are falling under this lockup agreement - standard practice for listings.
| |
20/8 15:37 af peter12 |
The major shareholder statement from Blackrock, mention financial instruments as a part of the holdings. Does shorted shares count here ?
| |
| ||
20/8 15:39 af Jan Van de Winkel |
We believe major shareholder statements refer to listed shares.
| |
20/8 15:39 af Solsen |
Mr Eatwell. Is the portion of adrs and danish shares stabil or could we se more adrs in the future and less danish shares if US investors are interested in more GMAB
| |
20/8 15:40 af Jan Van de Winkel |
It is uncertain at this stage how the balance between ADS's and shares will develop over the coming period. What we can already see, is there is strong support from US shareholders reflected in increased trading of ADS's over the last month...
| |
20/8 15:41 af Jan Van de Winkel |
Since the US listing the daily volume of GMAB equity trading has nearly doubled.
| |
20/8 15:41 af Helge Larsen/PI-redaktør |
Bikube: With the establishment of ADS GMAB, ADR GMXAY disappeared from the list. Have they entered as part of the 28.5 million or have they been added so that there are actually over 28.5 million ADS. OTCMKTS:GNMSF still exists. Why is it so?
| |
20/8 15:43 af Jan Van de Winkel |
The GMXAY was transfered into the new GMAB ADS's. The old ADRs are incremental to the newly listed ADS's.
| |
20/8 15:43 af Bulder |
How long time is to be expected for post-monitoring after sc dara injection? Will it be all injections or only the first?
| |
20/8 15:44 af Jan Van de Winkel |
The mointoring for a few hours is only applicable to the first injection of SC Dara, unless the patient has an IRR during the first injection.
| |
20/8 15:44 af Sukkeralf |
It seems like your confidence in the CD20/CD3 BsAb is growing - could we conclude the same about the way you silenced this BsAb or is it to early to say anything about that?
| |
20/8 15:45 af Jan Van de Winkel |
We continue to be highly excited about the therapeutic profile of DuoBody CD3xCD20 and very much look forward to sharing data from the first clinical study in this year.
| |
20/8 15:45 af Sukkeralf |
Could MOR202 still become a minor competitor in China now they have partnered up with a more local biotech company (I-MAB Biopharma) ?
| |
20/8 15:46 af Jan Van de Winkel |
In our opinion, an antibody wihch has a weak therapeutic activity, is unlikely to become a competitive threat.
| |
20/8 15:47 af Sukkeralf |
Janssen recently initiated a phase III study to examine daratumumab and lenalidomide as maintenance therapy in newly diagnosed patients with MM but could you elaborate on timelines for approval of daratumumab alone as maintenance ?
| |
20/8 15:48 af Jan Van de Winkel |
There are several studies which have a DARA maintenance arm in the protocol, so we anticipate news on DARATUMUMAB maintenance before the study finalises that you refer to.
| |
20/8 15:48 af Sukkeralf |
When Genmab is scouting opportunities to in-licensing complementing technologies - is it then in the antibody space or could it be other therapeutic modalities like vaccines, small molecules, peptides, CAR-T, gene therapy ect. ?
| |
20/8 15:49 af Jan Van de Winkel |
Genmab will continue to be focused on AB focused approaches for cancer...
| |
20/8 15:50 af Jan Van de Winkel |
We presently have one of the most innovative technology portfolios in this area and would be interested in further broadening our suite of technologies...
| |
20/8 15:50 af Jan Van de Winkel |
As an example, we can refer to the deal we entered into with Immatics last year.
| |
20/8 15:50 af Sukkeralf |
Are Hummingbird Bioscience still using the Duobody platform to make CD47 BsAbs - and if so are there any conflicts with your license agreement with BLiNK on CD47 antibodies for development of DuoBody BsAbs?
| |
20/8 15:51 af Jan Van de Winkel |
Humminbird Bioscience has no access to the DuoBody technology platform...
| |
20/8 15:52 af Jan Van de Winkel |
Genmab is very excited about working with CD47 ABs licensed from BliNK, and has excellent preclinical proof of concept studies performed with novel bispecific approaches.
| |
20/8 15:52 af Bulder |
What are the chances that the D-RVd combination based on data from the Griffin study will be put on a compendia listing in the US and thus become used off label?
| |
20/8 15:54 af Jan Van de Winkel |
As we released yesterday, the GRIFFIN data is very impressive and will be presented in full at the upcoming IMW meeting in Boston in September and may very rapidly be published in a peer-reviewed journal. On top of that, the D-RVD regimen may then be included in US compendia, and thus be reimbursed.
| |
20/8 15:55 af Bulder |
Why should DRd be any better than VRd? The SWOG study showed results similar to those of Maia.
| |
20/8 15:56 af Jan Van de Winkel |
The published data for the SWOG 777 study shows a PFS of 43 months (VRD), whereas the initial data from MAIA indicates a PFS of around 58 months (or higher).
| |
20/8 15:56 af Bulder |
Do we know a PDUFA date for the teprotumumab bla?
|
