TD Cowen 46th Annual Health Care Conference summary
4 Mar, 2026Strategic overview and 2026 outlook
Anticipates a pivotal year in 2026 with the awaited PDUFA date for tividenofusp alfa for Hunter syndrome on April 5th.
DNL126 for Sanfilippo syndrome is on track for an accelerated approval filing and potential launch in 2027.
Two key clinical data readouts expected: LRRK2 inhibitor in Parkinson’s mid-year and progranulin program in FTD later in the year.
Plans to initiate three new clinical studies, including two Alzheimer’s programs and an enzyme program for Pompe disease.
Well-capitalized with nearly $1 billion in cash and an additional $200 million contingent on approval.
Regulatory and clinical progress
Ongoing, productive FDA dialogue for tividenofusp alfa, with label and post-marketing discussions underway.
Three-month PDUFA delay was due to a corrected molecular weight error, now resolved with no impact on efficacy or safety.
Differentiation from competitors highlighted by robust, long-term data and validated biomarkers.
Strong genetic classification process supports regulatory confidence.
Commercial readiness and launch strategy
Commercial infrastructure and experienced field team in place, with targeted approach due to known patient locations.
Productive payer engagement, with payers recognizing the unmet need and robust data.
Pricing strategy will depend on final label; consensus is growing that all Hunter syndrome patients may benefit.
Adoption expected to start with newborns and severe cases, with an S-shaped adoption curve and revenue inflection in 2027.
