Morgan Gilead Sciences Thoughts on the RSV Space: Sales Could Top $2B Although Gilead's hepatitis C franchise is by far the key focus for investors, the expanding pipeline has a number of major call options in hepatitis B, NASH, IPF, hematology/oncology and now respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Indeed, at the ATS meeting this week, Gilead revealed phase 2a data for GS- 5806 in RSV. In this report, we review the data, the therapeutic landscape and the opportunity in RSV including feedback we've received from several pulmonologists. From a timing perspective, Gilead expects to begin a phase 2/3 trial in RSV in mid 2014, with a potential for a regulatory filing in 2H16 in adults. Physicians we spoke to viewed the phase 2a data as "very promising," but were understandably cautious on extrapolating the results to children (the larger opportunity). Of note, no therapies arc approved for active RSV; Synagis is approved as a prophylaxis in a narrow segment of infants and very few assets are in clinical development. GS-5806 is not included in JPM or Street models; confirmation is needed in patients with active infection, but we'd peg the WW opportunity at close to $2B. When putting GS-5806 in the context of Gilead's growing pipeline, plus a stable base HIV business and aggressive growth expected in hep C, we'd argue that GILD shares still have meaningful upside. Reiterate Overweight. • The basics of RSV: RSV is a single-stranded RNA virus that infects the respiratory tract. The virus is fairly common and most healthy people recover within a few weeks, however, certain populations are at increased risk These include children less than one year of age, those with certain pulmonary infections and immuncompromised adult patients where an RSV infection could lead to hospitalization and death. Of note, infections typically follow a seasonal pattern that differs based on geographically. In the US, the RSV season typically begins in November and ends in March. • High unmet need: There arc currently no approved treatment options in infants or adults with RSV infection. Indeed, in children, RSV treatment guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics only recommends Synagis specifically for prophylaxis in an increasingly narrow segment of infants. Additionally, the guidelines caution that supportive therapy (inhaled bronchodilators and corticostcroids) and ribavirin should not be routinely used. Of note, physicians indicate that ribavirin is very difficult to administer in inhaled form and efficacy is "questionable". Gilead Sciences, Inc.
