MUNETAKA MURAKAMI NO. 19 TIE GAME!

$apge highest dose is essentially same as dupi on pbo adjusted basis..? When this goes to p3, efficacy will come down.. so p3 has risk of showing a profile that looks WORSE than dupi





Most of these drugs coming up in AD are going to look “worse” numerically than dupi come Phase 3. $APGE $NKTR $CRVS It’s really about being non-inferior and majorly differentiated in some other way (i.e., dosing frequency).. to, at the least, be relevant.






Definitely not apples to apples. JAKs are highly effective systemic options with solid real-world safety profiles in AA. The boxed warning is an artifact inherited from high-risk rheumatoid arthritis cohorts. The market dynamics are completely different. Prior to Camzyos, HCM lacked disease-modifying therapies that targeted the underlying biology, leaving patients facing sudden cardiac death. Camzyos expanded the TAM because it fixed the main hurdle in HCM: massive underdiagnosis. AA is distressing, but patients are otherwise physically asymptomatic and much younger. A safer mechanism only triggers an HCM-style market expansion if it matches or beats incumbent efficacy. Because rezpeg carries a clear efficacy discount to oral JAKs, it will find a clinical niche, but it won't blow open the TAM.
