In context
“proximately 270,000 patients treated to date. However, many remain at high risk of fracture, with close to 90% of the roughly two million very high-risk patients still not receiving appropriate therapy. In Japan, EVENITY has been prescribed to approximately 800,000 patients since launch, making it the leader in the bone builder category with greater than 50% market share. The success of EVENITY in Japan underscores the significant untapped potential in the U.S., where improvements in screening and diagnosis and increased treatment could meaningfully expand patient reach and drive continued growth. Prolia delivered $1.1 billion in sales, an increase of 9% year-over-year. Three biosimilars have launched to date in the U.S., and we see competitive dynamics evolving in line with expectations. In future quarters, we expect increased competition to negatively impact Prolia sales. Our rare disease portfolio grew 13% year-over-year to $1.4 billion, now annualizing at over $5 billion with strong performance across the board. UPLIZNA sales increased 46% year-over-year to $155 million. The launch of UPLIZNA in IgG4-related disease is progressing well with significant uptake among rheumatologists and key academic medical centers. While IgG4-related disease is a recently defined condition, our educational efforts are rapidly building awareness and diagnosis. We've seen over 300 unique prescribers since launch across multiple specialties, demonstrating breadth of adoption of UPLIZNA in this indication. UPLIZNA is a leading FDA-approved treatment for NMOSD with growth driven by increased new patient demand and strong rates of treatment initiations and adherence. Additional”
