The idea
The idea
In order to value a drug, and therefore a pharma company, the launch date and
generic competition entry point are crucial considerations. For small molecule drugs,
such as statins, the expected generic entry date in the key US market is readily
obtained from the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Orange Book. For large
molecules, such as antibodies, the task is much harder because patent information is
not compiled for such drugs. This report seeks to fill that gap. In doing so, a number of
our assumptions have been updated to reflect the information we have obtained from
multiple sources.
The proportion of biologics drugs (proteins and antibodies) has risen in recent years
(Fig 1). That is good news because the erosion cycle of such drugs is considerably less
aggressive than for small molecule therapeutics. However, it does raise a problem:
when exactly will they erode? This is not mere intellectual curiosity, for that date is a
critical part of the valuation of the drug and hence its owner.

Erosion by generic competition begins, often immediately, following the expiry of the
drug’s patents. Determining this in the US is straightforward. Since the 1980s, the
FDA’s ‘Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations’ has
provided the answer. Better known by the colour of its cover, the Orange Book lists all
the relevant in-force patents for small molecules, along with their expiry dates. While
similarly comprehensive data do not exist for the rest of the world, a reasonable
estimate can be made based on the US situation and a mosaic of other sources.
For biologic drugs, no such guide exists in the US or elsewhere. The level of disclosure
varies by company. Some are very reticent to disclose any information on commercial
The idea
grounds; others give the years of lost patent protection for some products, but we are
unaware of any company that provides detailed information on entire portfolios.
In order to value individual drugs and thus whole companies, we have long needed
this information and have struggled in many cases to get good answers. Rules of
thumb abound, giving a set number of years in various markets from launch to
biosimilar entry, but that often misrepresents the true picture. We therefore set out to
fill this gap by analysing the patent protection of all biologic drugs approved in the US
since 2000.
What we found
Looking at the specific findings of this report, namely US biologics alone, we see
relatively modest sales that will be exposed to potential biosimilar competition before
2025 across our European universe (Fig 2). The only notable exception is UCB’s
Cimzia in 2024.
Source: Redburn
For 2025, we start to see more meaningful impacts, such as Roche’s Perjeta and
AstraZeneca’s Soliris, but for the remainder of the decade, we would note only one
major expiry, that of Roche’s Ocrevus in 2028. We would also emphasise that the dates
above represent a conservative view of biosimilar timing. With broad patent estates in
many cases, the actual point of entry could be delayed. Perjeta, for example, has
potentially relevant IP until 2038 that could thwart biosimilar entry.
Using the US patent landscape as a basis for global protection, along with specific data
where available, we see a broadly similar cadence of potential biosimilar entry, with
limited major threats this decade (Fig 3).

If we include data for small molecules and vaccines, we see no year with greater than
15% of sales at risk of exposure for any company except UCB (Fig 4). We emphasise
that this chart shows the sales at risk in a given year, not the revenue decline in that
year. Save for small molecule genericisation in the US, no modality or region sees
almost immediate and total erosion.

Sales erosion is but one factor in an investment thesis, but it is certainly an important
one. Below we summarise how each of the European stocks features on this measure,
along with some broader context on our investment theses.

The idea
Needless to say, this challenge and its solutions featured centrally in GSK’s June 2021
investor day (Fig 7). We agree with the company’s assertion that it can grow through
the loss of dolutegravir in 2028 over the 2026-31 period, although 2028 itself will
certainly see a revenue decline; this is beyond our explicit forecast period, but we
estimate it will be -6%.

At first glance, another issue looms in 2028 and 2029, the patent expiry of Shingrix,
GSK’s shingles vaccine. However, we are yet to experience the launch or indeed the
development of a biosimilar vaccine due to the very high investment needed, and we
do not expect any change in this behaviour.
Unlike Astra, GSK’s ability to replenish its pipeline is not yet a settled matter in
investors’ minds. However, we see an attractive, underappreciated growth story
without reliance on pipeline success, which is not reflected in the 27% 2020 P/E
multiple discount to the sector. We reiterate our Buy recommendation and raise our
fair value from 2,110p to 2,140p to reflect changes made to the patent expiry and peak
year assumptions for cabotegravir.

before, in the case of Gilenya.

Taken in aggregate, Novartis’ marketed portfolio offers growth and decline in broadly
equal and opposite measure, upon which there is growth potential in the near term
from its late-stage pipeline, with gene therapy offering a considerable boost in the
second part of the decade and beyond, as we have previously discussed (‘Gene Genie’,
21 November 2019). We argue that neither the near-term growth potential (most
notably from cholesterol-lowering agent Leqvio) nor the contribution from gene
therapy is currently reflected in the share price and reiterate our Buy recommendation.

2025 is the reasonable first entry for Perjeta biosimilars in the US, based on the
expiration of the extended patent, but again there is potential IP until 2038. The
biggest potential erosion is in October 2028, when Ocrevus’ principal patent expires.
Set against these undoubted challenges, Roche benefits from a full pipeline and a
multi-decade track record of delivery. As the current wave of biosimilar erosion
diminishes, we forecast an improvement in revenue growth, from c2% in 2022 to c5%
for 2023-27. That trajectory could receive a fillip in 1H22 if gantenerumab in
Alzheimer’s is successful. We remain extremely sceptical of the amyloid hypothesis
upon which this and other drugs are based, despite Biogen’s controversial approval of
related drug Aduhelm earlier this year. Were it to be approved, around 1% would be
added to the 2023+ growth rate and CHF10/share to our fair value. We reiterate our
Buy recommendation and CHF430 fair value.

At the other end of the product cycle, Bimzelx (psoriasis) has recently been approved
in Europe and US approval is expected on 15 October. As we have previously
discussed (‘12-Year Itch’, 6 January 2021), Bimzelx’s best-in-class efficacy, even when
tempered by UCB’s lower marketing heft than its larger peers (AbbVie, Novartis and
Johnson & Johnson), will make a very meaningful commercial impact relative to the
company’s size. We argue that ‘commercialisation discount’ applied by the market is
over-influenced by the experience of Cimzia, a late-following undifferentiated product
in a crowded market, in contrast to the efficacy profile in this case. We reiterate our
Buy recommendation and fair value of €136.

The only meaningful near-term expiry relates to Victoza and Saxenda. Teva settled
Victoza legislation so it may enter the US market in 2023, but the outstanding success
of Ozempic has rendered this a fairly pyrrhic victory, given the residual market size.
Semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus, has
composition-of-matter patent protection until December 2031. With combined
forecast exposure of over DKK100bn, that represents an enormous challenge for Novo
in a decade, but also for any putative generic challenger, given the investment required
to produce the active ingredient. We remain Neutral on Novo, impressed by its quality
but less enamoured of its current valuation. Our fair value remains DKK510.

After Somatuline, we see the risk to Dysport, Ipsen’s botulinum toxin, as modest,
given the nature of the product, leaving the 2029 Cabometyx expiry as the next
significant event; Ipsen has rights outside North America and Japan. The investment
thesis for Ipsen is based on the company’s ability to traverse the Somatuline loss, and
we view progress under CEO David Loew as generally positive. The market, however,
viewed the delay in August 2021 to pipeline asset palovarotene (fibrodysplasia
ossificans progressiva) very negatively. Despite our NPV valuation of €2.2/share, the

Considering erosion and competition alone, Sanofi is very well placed. However, our
Neutral recommendation is as a result of the other part of the revenue equation:
growth. Sanofi’s ability to generate organic revenue expansion through R&D was
underwhelming for much of the past 15 years. Recent efforts under CEO Paul Hudson
and head of R&D John Reed have sought to address this, but so far we do not see
sufficient evidence of a concerted improvement. The ample balance sheet has been
deployed on a number of potentially interesting acquisitions, but the central question
about Sanofi’s intrinsic ability to discover and develop drugs itself is to be answered
adequately. Our fair value remains €93 and we maintain a Neutral recommendation.

01/
01/ Patent and exclusivity data
Failing this, our second approach is to search the Patent Office records. Although a
decision on the application may not have been made, the application itself is publicly
available on the Public Patent Application Information Retrieval 2 website (PAIR). This
records every aspect of a patent’s life from application through to expiry, with all the
relevant documentation. However, this website suffers from a fatal limitation – to find
the extension application and thus the key patent, we need the patent number itself.
To get around this problem, we used the Patent Examination Data System 3 to
download the detailed records of all life science patents from 2000 (approximately
784,000). From this, we could extract the details of all patents for which an extension
application was made and, using PAIR, manually download those applications and
extract the contents to give the patent details and connected drug names.
Finally, for some drugs, there is no extension application. This is generally for two
reasons: either the drug is not truly novel and therefore ineligible for extension or it
was developed particularly quickly, such that the unextended patent already provides
14 years of protection. In these cases, we performed manual searches to identify the
key patent. In the main section, the source for each key patent is indicated (Fig 16).

Unlike most small molecules, which have relatively small sets of protecting patents,
biologics can have dozens, so the key patent is only the starting point. A full list of
patents is probably only achievable by the owners, since we do not know all of the
intricacies of a biologic’s development and manufacture. However, by looking at all of
the owner’s other patents that cite this key patent, we can achieve a fairly
comprehensive list; for example, we discovered around 90% of the relevant patents (as
disclosed in litigation) for AbbVie’s Humira using this approach. We used the lens.org
website 4 to obtain these citations and Google Patents to find anticipated expiry dates.
We note that these citing patents are potentially relevant to the drug in question. We
have manually curated the lists to remove the obviously irrelevant, but a detailed
examination of the thousands listed here was not possible.
We have also included a description and most up-to-date approved indications for
each drug from the latest FDA label. This was done for all biologics (BLA) approvals
since 2000 using the Drugs@FDA database 5, which means that vaccines and some
blood products are excluded. However, with no market for generic or biosimilar
vaccines now or expected in the future, this has limited impact. We have also excluded
products for which there is already established biosimilar competition, such as Roche’s
Herceptin and Avastin.
Finally, where available, we include Visible Alpha global consensus drug estimates for
2021-30, their 95% confidence intervals and their interquartile range, using the
methodology we recently outlined (‘Feeling Confident?’, 23 July 2021). For drugs with
shared global marketing rights, such as Sanofi and Regeneron’s Dupixent, the sales
depicted are those for the US booked by the company responsible for that territory.
Where the key patent expiry or data exclusivity falls within this date range, we have
indicated them with yellow and grey lines respectively.

Description
Ravulizumab-cwvz, a complement inhibitor, is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)
cells. Ravulizumab-cwvz consists of 2 identical 448 amino acid heavy chains and 2 identical 214 amino acid light chains and has a mo-
lecular weight of approximately 148 kDa. The constant regions of ravulizumab-cwvz include the human κ light chain constant region,
and the protein engineered "IgG2/4" heavy chain constant region. The heavy chain CH1 domain, hinge region, and the first 5 amino
acids of the CH2 domain match the human IgG2 amino acid sequence, residues 6 to 36 in the CH2 region (common to both human
IgG2 and IgG4 amino acid sequences), while the remainder of the CH2 domain and the CH3 domain match the human IgG4 amino
acid sequence. The heavy and light chain variable regions that form the human C5 binding site consist of human framework regions
grafted to murine complementarity-determining regions.

Description
Pegvaliase-pqpz is a phenylalanine-metabolizing enzyme that is composed of recombinant phenylalanine ammonia lyase (rAvPAL)
conjugated to N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)-methoxypolyethylene glycol (PEG). rAvPAL is manufactured in Escherichia coli bacteria
transformed with a plasmid containing the phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) gene derived from Anabaena variabilis . During the
rAvPAL manufacturing process, fermentation is carried out in nutrient medium containing the antibiotic kanamycin. However, kan-
amycin is cleared in the manufacturing process and is not detectable in the final product. rAvPAL is a homotetrameric protein with
a molecular weight of 62 kD per monomer. To produce pegvaliase-pqpz, an average of nine (9) 20 kD PEG molecules are covalently
bound (or conjugated) to each monomer of rAvPAL. The total molecular weight of pegvaliase-pqpz (rAvPAL-PEG) is approximately
1000 kD.
Indications
Palynziq is indicated to reduce blood phenylalanine concentrations in adult patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) who have uncon-
trolled blood phenylalanine concentrations greater than 600 micromol/L on existing management.

Description
Dulaglutide is a human glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. The molecule is a fusion protein that consists of 2 identi-
cal, disulfide-linked chains, each containing an N-terminal GLP-1 analog sequence covalently linked to the Fc portion of a modified
human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) heavy chain by a small peptide linker and is produced using mammalian cell (Chinese hamster
ovary) culture. The GLP-1 analog portion of dulaglutide is 90% homologous to native human GLP-1 (7-37). Structural modifications
were introduced in the GLP-1 part of the molecule responsible for interaction with the enzyme dipeptidyl-peptidase-IV (DPP-4).
Additional modifications were made in an area with a potential T-cell epitope and in the areas of the IgG4 Fc part of the molecule
responsible for binding the high-affinity Fc receptors and half-antibody formation. The overall molecular weight of dulaglutide is
approximately 63 kilodaltons.

structure of the a - chain of r-hCG is identical to that of the a - chain of hCG, FSH and LH. The glycoform pattern of the a - subunit
of r-hCG is closely comparable to urinary derived hCG (u-hCG), the differences mainly being due to the branching and sialylation
extent of the oligosaccharides. The β - chain has both O- and N-glycosylation sites and its structure and glycosylation pattern are also
very similar to that of u-hCG.
Indications
Ovidrel is indicated for the induction of final follicular maturation and early luteinization in infertile women who have undergone
pituitary desensitization and who have been appropriately pretreated with follicle stimulating hormones as part of an Assisted Repro-
ductive Technology (ART) program such as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Ovidrel is also indicated for the induction of

C terminal. Taliglucerase alfa is a glycosylated protein with oligosaccharide chains at the glycosylation sites having terminal mannose
sugars. These mannose-terminated oligosaccharide chains of taliglucerase alfa are specifically recognized by endocytic carbohydrate
receptors on macrophages, the cells that accumulate lipid in Gaucher disease.

Description
Somavert contains pegvisomant, an analog of human growth hormone (GH) that has been structurally altered to act as a GH receptor
antagonist. Pegvisomant is a protein of recombinant DNA origin containing 191 amino acid residues to which several polyethylene
glycol (PEG) polymers are covalently bound (predominantly 4 to 6 PEG/protein molecule). The molecular weight of the protein of
pegvisomant is 21,998 Daltons. The molecular weight of the PEG portion of pegvisomant is approximately 5000 Daltons. The predom-
inant molecular weights of pegvisomant are thus approximately 42,000, 47,000, and 52,000 Daltons. The schematic shows the amino
acid sequence of the pegvisomant protein (PEG polymers are shown attached to the 5 most probable attachment sites). Pegvisomant is
synthesized by a specific strain of Escherichia coli bacteria that has been genetically modified by the addition of a plasmid that carries
a gene for GH receptor antagonist. Biological potency is determined using a cell proliferation bioassay. Binding of Somavert to the GH
receptor results in disruption of the proper binding of the second GH receptor with inhibition of functional receptor dimerization and
subsequent intracellular signaling.
Indications
Somavert is indicated for the treatment of acromegaly in patients who have had an inadequate response to surgery or radiation thera-
py, or for whom these therapies are not appropriate.

Description
Alglucosidase alfa is a hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme encoded by the predominant of nine observed haplotypes of
the human acid a-glucosidase (GAA) gene. Alglucosidase alfa is produced by recombinant DNA technology in a Chinese hamster
ovary cell line. Alglucosidase alfa degrades glycogen by catalyzing the hydrolysis of a-1,4- and a-1,6- glycosidic linkages of lysosomal
glycogen. Alglucosidase alfa is a glycoprotein with a calculated mass of 99,377 Daltons for the polypeptide chain, and a total mass of
approximately 109,000 Daltons, including carbohydrates.
Indications
Lumizyme (alglucosidase alfa) [see Description (11) ] is a hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme indicated for patients with
Pompe disease (acid a-glucosidase [GAA] deficiency).

Description
Myozyme (alglucosidase alfa), a lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme, consists of the human enzyme acid a-glucosidase (GAA),
encoded by the most predominant of nine observed haplotypes of this gene. Myozyme is produced by recombinant DNA technology
in a Chinese hamster ovary cell line. The Myozyme manufacturing process differs from that for Lumizyme, resulting in differences in
some product attributes. Alglucosidase alfa degrades glycogen by catalyzing the hydrolysis of a-1,4- and a-1,6- glycosidic linkages of
lysosomal glycogen.
Indications
Myozyme (alglucosidase alfa) is a lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme indicated for use in patients with Pompe disease (GAA defi-
ciency). Myozyme has been shown to improve ventilator-free survival in patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease as compared
to an untreated historical control, whereas use of Myozyme in patients with other forms of Pompe disease has not been adequately
studied to assure safety and efficacy
