Reiterate OW: Pipeline catalysts including Bladder
Cancer data to drive the shares
Heading into ASCO, on May 3P', where Roche will present new data for its
PD-L I in bladder cancer, we have examined the market potential of this
cancer. While it is relatively small at only $0.8bn in PD-LI high patients, the
Roche data should serve to further highlight the immuno-onocolgy
opportunity. Beyond bladder cancer data at ASCO, potential in other tumours
and the data in combination with Avastin, if positive, have the potential to
drive further upside to PD-L I forecasts, although on the 1Q14 call Roche
seemed more cautious than previously around the Avastin combo opportunity.
Beyond PD-LI , phase II ROMULUS data for the Anti-79b in NHL (ASCO on
May 31.) should provide another leg to Roche's growth strategy for the
Rituxan franchise, and Kadcyla data in 1st line Breast Cancer from the
MARIANNE trial in 2H'14 should cement growth for the HER 2 franchise.
With these catalysts to come we reiterate ow Overweight and Dec-14 SFr280
PT, offering 9% potential upside.
• Bladder Cancer opportunity has potential to add a further $0.3bn in
sales for Roche's PD-Li: Ahead of the ASCO meeting where first data will
be presented for Roche's PD-LI on Sat May 31 we have examined the
market potential for Bladder cancer. Assuming just use in PD-LI high
patients we see a market worth $0.8bn, while use in PD-L I low patients
could add a further $0.6bn. As Roche are only conducting a single arm
phase II trial next, we conservatively assume that Roche will not reach the
market until 2018 and can only take 40% of the market, yielding a $0.3bn
peak sales opportunity See inside this note for our detailed review of the
Bladder Cancer opportunity.
• Roche continues to explore PD-L1 in further tumour types, although
there are no timelines for disclosure or data presentation: On the
IQ'I4 conference call Roche highlighted that they continue to explore PD-
L I in other tumour types, for which they will release data as they become
mature. Based on disclosed Phase I clinical trials in colorectal cancer, we
continue to believe that this could be one of these indications which would
offer a PD-L I positive market potential of $5.5bn.
• Estimates trimmed post 1Q sales for slightly increased FX headwind:
We have reduced our Core EPS estimates by 1% for 2014-2017 based on a
1% increase to the FX headwind on sales and Corc Operating income.

Executive Summary IPMorgan CAZENOVE
Going into ASCO where Roche will present new data for its PD-L1 in bladder cancer
on May 31 we have examined the market potential of this cancer. While it is a
relatively small market opportunity at only $0.8bn in PD-L I high patients, these data
should serve to further highlight the immuno-onocolgy opportunity for Roche.
Beyond bladder data at ASCO, PD-L I potential in other tumours and the data in
combination with Avastin, if positive, have the potential to drive upside to PD-L I
forecasts but also to remove concerns over the sustainability of the Avastin franchise
(worth 17% of EmV). Although on the I Q'I4 call Roche seemed more cautious
than previously around the Avastin combo opportunity.
Beyond PD-L1, phase II ROMULUS data for the Anti-79b in NHL (Non-Hodgkin's
lymphoma) also at ASCO (May 31) should provide another leg to Roche's existing
growth and protection strategies for the Rituxan franchise (which currently include
Gazyva replacing Rituxan; BCL-2 use on-top of Rituxan) and Kadcyla data in 1st
line Breast Cancer from the MARIANNE trial in 2H14, which should cement growth
for the HER 2 franchise.
With these catalysts to come we reiterate our Ovenveight and Dec-14 SFr280
Price Target, offering 9% potential upside.
