Barclays 28th Annual Global Healthcare Conference summary
10 Mar, 2026Company overview and product portfolio
Focuses on ultra-rare diseases with three main commercial products: Firdapse (Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome), Agamree (Duchenne muscular dystrophy), and Fycompa (epilepsy).
Firdapse has shown consistent 15%-20% annual growth over 8 years.
Agamree launched in March 2024, showing strong uptake and differentiation in clinical profile.
Fycompa, acquired from Eisai, is declining due to generic competition but remains above expectations.
Recent performance and growth drivers
Achieved 20% revenue growth in 2025, with expectations for even faster growth in 2026.
Specialty pharmacy initiatives improved patient retention and brand performance for Firdapse.
New programs and guideline inclusion for cancer-associated LEMS are expanding Firdapse's reach.
Agamree sourced patients from both generic prednisone and Emflaza, weathering market challenges well.
Firdapse: Market opportunity and strategy
Penetration remains at 30% for idiopathic LEMS and less than 10% for cancer-associated LEMS, indicating significant growth potential.
NCCN guideline inclusion and partnerships with GPOs are expected to drive adoption, especially in oncology.
Commercial strategy includes targeted education and a dedicated field force for GPO engagement.
Intellectual property secured through settlements with Teva and Lupin, with protection until February 2035.
