Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:KPTI) Q4 2022 Earnings Call Transcript February 15, 2023

Operator: Good day. My name is Andrea, and I will be your conference operator today. At this time, I would like to welcome everyone to the Karyopharm Therapeutics Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Financial Results Conference Call. . Please be advised that this call is being recorded at the company’s request. I would now like to turn the call over to Elhan Webb, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations. Please go ahead.

Elhan Webb: Thank you, Andrea, and thank you all for joining us on today’s conference call to discuss the Karyopharm’s Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 financial results and recent company progress. We issued a press release this morning detailing our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022. This release, along with a slide presentation that we will reference during our call today are available on our website. For today’s call, as seen on Slide 2, I’m joined by Richard, Sohanya, Reshma and Mike. Richard will start the call with some opening remarks, Sohanya will provide a commercial update and Reshma will provide an update on our clinical development programs. Mike will then present an overview of financial highlights from the quarter and full year 2022 and provide guidance for 2023.

Richard will end with some closing remarks before we open up the call for questions. Before we begin our formal comments, I’ll remind you that various remarks we will make today constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provision under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as outlined on Slide 3. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements as a result of various important factors, including those discussed in the Risk Factors section of our most recent 10-Q form, which is on file with the SEC and in other filings that we may make with the SEC in the future. Any forward-looking statements represent our views as of today only. While we may elect to update them at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so even if our views change.

Therefore, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing our views as of any later date. In addition, we will also be providing on this call an outlook for our non-GAAP, R&D and SG&A expenses for 2023. We are not providing reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures because projections of stock compensation expense, which is required for such reconciliations are not available without unreasonable efforts. I will now turn the call over to Richard. Please turn to Slide 4.

Richard Paulson: Good morning. Thank you, Elhan, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today for Karyopharm’s Q4 and Full Year 2022 Earnings Call. My name is Richard Paulson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Karyopharm. As you can see on Slide 5, Karyopharm was founded in 2008. And as an innovation and patient-focused company developing first-in-class oral selective inhibitors and nuclear export, which target XPO1 to improve patient outcomes in cancer. Fast forwarding to Karyopharm today, where we are successfully leveraging this fundamental mechanism of action to build upon our existing multi myeloma franchise anchored around our commercial drug XPOVIO, which is now approved in 40 countries and continues to move into earlier lines of therapy in multi myeloma.

With our U.S. XPOVIO revenue, milestone and royalty payments from our ex U.S. partners, we have generated $157 million total revenues in 2022, meeting our guidance range for the year. For 2023, we are well positioned for our next phase of growth, where we expect to further grow our total revenue and U.S. XPOVIO sales, which Sohanya and Mike will go into more detail later on. We have a focused pipeline comprised of mid- and late-stage clinical development programs that can help patients who suffer from cancers with high unmet need demonstrate efficacy at lower doses with improved tolerability and where we believe we will have the highest probability of success. We are conducting pivotal Phase III studies in both multi myeloma and Endometrial cancer with the third pivotal Phase III study in Myelofibrosis, which we expect to start in the first half of 2023 pending regulatory feedback.

Through continuing a disciplined and focused approach in advancing our pipeline and a strengthened balance sheet from our recent financing, which included participation by both existing stockholders and new investors, we have extended our cash runway through late 2025. Collectively, we believe we have the potential to achieve multiple product approvals over the next 2 to 4 years as we deliver our next phase of growth, leveraging our proven and established commercialization and mid- to late-stage development capabilities as we work to generate value for patients and shareholders. Turning now to Slide 6. Let’s review some key accomplishments from our 4 core programs in 2022 as we have made considerable progress across all programs. In multi myeloma, despite increased competition, we grew XPOVIO U.S. net sales by 22% in ’22 compared to ’21.

Sohanya will go into more details on our U.S. sales performance in multiple myeloma in a moment. In Endometrial cancer, we are excited to be moving forward with a novel biomarker-driven Phase III study by leveraging the potential substantial benefit of Selinexor that we’ve observed in patients that are TP53 wild-type. Our partnership with Foundation Medicine will enable us to develop a companion diagnostic. In Myelofibrosis, we are very encouraged by the preliminary results observed from our Phase I study across 3 relevant domains, including SVR35, TSS50 and hemoglobin stabilization. Finally, in high-risk relapsed refractory MDS, a population with a very high unmet need, we completed recruitment for the interim analysis and are looking forward to seeing the overall survival data mature in our Phase II study.

As we turn now to Slide 7, I would like to turn the call over to Sohanya for her review of the commercial performance for the quarter and full year 2022. Sohanya?

Sohanya Cheng: Thank you, Richard, and good morning, everyone. On Slide 8, I am pleased to talk about the role of XPOVIO within an evolving multiple myeloma landscape. It is clear there continues to be an unmet need despite the advancements in treatment options. The disease remains incurable. If we look at the first and second lines of therapy, we typically see utilization of 3 major classes with increasing proportion of patients being treated with an anti-CD38 antibody. Following this, there is a need for a class switch to a novel mechanism of action. In this second to fourth line setting, there is no clear standard of care. If we now move forward to the late-line setting, we see rapid advancements with the emergence of T-cell re-directing therapies.

However, these medicines can be complex in terms of patient management and infrastructure needed for administration and therefore, typically localized to the academic setting. Thus, the patients in the second to fourth line setting who are largely treated by community prescribers, XPOVIO continues to have a strong value proposition as an effective, manageable easily combinable convenient oral therapy. In addition, we have data to strongly support the rationale and efficacy of XPOVIO use following an anti-CD38 regimen. Furthermore, with the emergence of T-cell mediated therapies, the concept of T-cell fitness is becoming increasingly critical for physicians, particularly in the academic setting. Karyopharm is playing a leading role in exploring this topic and building a body of evidence around the effectiveness of XPOVIO pre- and post T-cell re-directing therapies and we expect to see more data generated in this area through the course of the year to further bolster our positioning in the multiple myeloma treatment landscape.

Turning now to Slide 9 and our commercial highlights for the fourth quarter and full year 2022. In 2022, we grew XPOVIO net revenues by 22% versus 2021, meeting our guidance. This was primarily driven by demand growth, which included a year-over-year increase in both new starts and refills as we continue to treat more patients with XPOVIO and extend their time on therapy. Our team executed with strength, delivering 28% sales growth in the community in ’22 versus prior year. The community setting remains a primary area of focus, contributing to about 70% of sales in Q4. In the academic setting, which was impacted by new competitive entrants, including one novel class of therapy becoming commercially available in December, expansion of CAR-T sites and ongoing clinical trials, we grew 7% in sales in 2022 versus 2021.

In addition, we continue to make progress across our growth drivers, including shifting into earlier lines and increasing our duration of therapy. We also continue to improve the perception of the product with clear support and advocacy for XPOVIO at the podium from KOLs seen at medical congresses. As we turn to Slide 10, let’s walk through the details of the progress we have made across our key growth drivers. We have grown the proportion of patients in earlier lines with now roughly 55% of XPOVIO patients in the second to fourth line, driven by rapid growth in the third line. With this shift into earlier lines, we continue to see an increase in duration year-over-year. Finally, we continue to expand our breadth of use as we increase the number of prescribing accounts across the U.S. with roughly 70% of accounts being in the community.

On Slide 11, as we look to 2023, we remain focused on further expanding these growth drivers. We’re guiding to a U.S. net product revenue range of $125 million to $140 million, which at the midpoint represents 10% year-over-year growth. We believe this guidance range reflects solid growth in a competitive landscape that is expected to further intensify 2023 with 4 potential new competitor approvals. We anticipate Q1 sales in line with the prior quarter given ongoing pressure from increased adoption of tech bail in the academic setting and a higher GTN driven by the Medicare donut hole reset and IRA rebate. We will continue to execute with a well-established and entrenched field team, leveraging our broad base of prescribers in the community, building upon their positive experiences and further expanding their use.

We also plan to continue messaging and positioning XPOVIO in the second to fourth line post anti-CD38. In 2022, we saw the most rapid growth in the third line. Our focus remains on continuing to accelerate our growth in this line of therapy. In addition, in 2023, we plan to engage with key academic institutions to generate data pre and Post-T cell mediated therapies, Further potentially strengthening our position in the second to fourth line. Finally, as we look to the mid and long term, we expect that the all oral Phase III study of Selinexor in combination with pomalidomide and dexamethasone with a focus on targeting the community setting, will be a key driver of future growth, if approved. We look forward to continuing to grow XPOVIO and build our myeloma franchise, benefiting more patients in this challenging and incurable disease.

Now I would like to turn the call over to Reshma to give an update on our clinical pipeline progress.

Reshma Rangwala: Thank you, Sohanya. As you can see the overview of our clinical pipeline on Slide 13, we have 2 differentiated complementary novel signed compounds: Selinexor and Eltanexor , which are being evaluated across multiple cancers of high unmet need, including Myelofibrosis, Myelodysplastic neoplasms, Endometrial cancer and multiple myeloma. Selinexor brand name XPOVIO is our first novel XPO1 inhibitor and is FDA approved in multiple myeloma and in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It is currently being investigated in both solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Eltanexor is our second XPO1 inhibitor and is currently being investigated in relapsed/refractory MDS. Compared to Selinexor, a lower blood brain barrier penetration is observed with Eltanexor.

In addition, it’s IC50, a measure of potency is lower than Selinexor, which enables more continuous dosing. In fact, in select animal models evaluating MDS, continuous XPO1 inhibition has been shown to lead to enhanced antitumor activity. Turning now to Slide 14. We are working to optimize the dose of Selinexor across our clinical programs. Since XPOVIO’s first approval in 2019, we have utilized real-world experience, coupled with observations from our own clinical trials demonstrate that lower doses of Selinexor can optimize the patient benefit by improving its tolerability, which ultimately allows patients to stay on therapy longer and therefore, improve their overall benefit. As a result, all of our ongoing clinical trials incorporate Selinexor doses at 40 milligrams or 60 milligrams once weekly, which is a quarter to less than half of the original approved doses of 80 milligrams twice weekly.

Let’s now turn our attention to Endometrial cancer. On Slide 16, I would like to discuss the unmet need in Endometrial cancer and why we find this opportunity so exciting for women. First, Endometrial cancer is the most common form of gynecologic cancer in the United States with approximately 50% of advanced or recurrent tumors classified as TP53 wild-type. Second, the current treatment landscape for advanced or recurrent Endometrial cancer consists of first line chemotherapy. Upon completion of chemotherapy, the NCCN guidelines recommends a watch-and-wait approach until disease progression. This approach clearly needs improvement given that the 5-year survival rate in this patient population is only 17%. As Selinexor is administered orally and maintenance therapy is well established in other cancer types, we believe Selinexor has the potential to offer a maintenance option in TP53 wild-type patients and improve the overall clinical benefit for these patients.

At ASCO 2022, we presented the subgroup analysis and molecular classification data from the SIENDO study evaluating Selinexor in Endometrial cancer as a maintenance therapy. A previously disclosed subgroup analysis showed that patients whose tumors were TP53 wild-type and treated with Selinexor demonstrated a median progression-free survival of 13.7 months compared to 3.7 months for patients treated with placebo. On Slide 17 are the updated PFS results in this TP53 wild-type subgroup from a data cut as of November 2022. This update now shows that the median PFS for Selinexor has increased to 20.8 months compared to 5.2 months for placebo with no observed change in the safety profile. This improvement in the progression-free survival highlights the potential benefit that can be achieved with Selinexor in patients who are — whose tumors are TP53 wild-type supports the evaluation of signed compounds in this molecular subtype and underscores the rationale for evaluating Selinexor as a maintenance therapy in TP53 wild-type Endometrial cancer in our ongoing pivotal EC-042 study as seen on Slide 18.

This study will utilize Foundation Medicine’s tissue-based next-generation sequencing test to identify patients whose tumors are TP53 wild-type. A total of 220 patients will be randomized in a one-to-one manner to receive either once weekly Selinexor at a dose of 60 milligrams or placebo. The study’s primary endpoint is progression-free survival with a key secondary endpoint of overall survival. The study is a collaboration between Karyopharm and ENGOT , the European Network for Gynecological Oncological Trial Group and GOG, the Gynecology Oncology Group. Top line results are expected in the second half of 2024 and could represent a paradigm shift for women with TP53 wild-type Endometrial cancer. Let’s now take a closer look at Myelofibrosis.

As you can see on Slide 20, there is a high unmet need for new therapies and novel mechanisms of action given that the efficacy with the current standard of care, Jakafi is limited to patients with JAK-naive Myelofibrosis. Approximately 45% of patients achieved an SVR35 or TSS50 at week 24. Overall survival is limited and key patient populations do not benefit. The rates are substantially lower for male patients as well as patients who start on Ruxolitinib 15 milligrams twice a day. The SVR35 for both of these key patient populations is only approximately 25%. These are both critically important given that the males comprise approximately half of Myelofibrosis patients and real-world evidence data suggests that the majority of patients are treated with Ruxolitinib at 15 milligrams twice a day or less and about 1/3 of patients are treated with 5 milligrams twice a day.

Selinexor has the potential to enhance multiple factors important to all patients, including decreasing spleen size, improving patient symptoms, stabilization of hemoglobin levels, increasing overall survival, disease modification, all in the context of a manageable safety profile. As seen on Slide 21, targeting XPO1 can potentially be very effective as it inhibits multiple pathways downstream of JAK, including AKT, STAT and ERK. This may lead to potent monotherapy activity as well as potential synergism in combination with JAK inhibitors and other targets. Turning now to Slide 22. You can see the design of our frontline Myelofibrosis study, a Phase I study evaluating the combination of Selinexor and Ruxolitinib in patients with treatment naive Myelofibrosis.

In this study, we completed enrollment of the Phase I portion and dose to 24 patients. Our objectives for this study are to explore the combination of Selinexor and Ruxolitinib, building on the single-agent activity of both compounds. Turning to Slide 23. We recently shared updated results at ASH 2022. Based on an October data cut, 92% of evaluable patients achieved a 35% or greater spleen volume reduction at week 24. In addition, 67% of evaluable patients, which included those patients who completed their symptom evaluation forms achieved a 50% or greater reduction of their total symptom score at week 24. And finally, 57% of transfusion independent patients who had at least 8 weeks of treatment, maintained a stable hemoglobin or improved their hemoglobin levels at their last follow-up.

The combination of Selinexor and Ruxolitinib was generally well tolerated and had a manageable safety profile with the most common reported Grade 3- 4 treatment-emergent adverse events being Anemia and thrombocytopenia. The Grade 3-4 anemia rates observed with the combination were 38% less than the 45% observed with Ruxolitinib alone. We plan to present updated results from this study in the first half of 2023, including a TSS50 analysis that will incorporate symptom scores collected from patients’ medical charts. This will enable a robust assessment of the symptom improvement observed with the combination of Selinexor and Ruxolitinib from the majority of patients enrolled in this Phase I study. As you can see on Slide 24, 92% of evaluable patients at week 24 achieved an SVR 35% or greater and 100% of evaluable patients achieved any degree of spleen volume reduction.

The data on Slide 25, our new subgroup analyses from the Phase I portion of the 034 study. Specifically, we identified 7 patients whose Ruxolitinib was reduced to 5-milligram due to cytopenias at cycle 1 or 2 and who remained on this dose for the duration of their treatment. We are interested in this subgroup, given that quote “long-term maintenance at 5 milligrams twice daily has not shown responses” as noted in the Ruxolitinib prescribing information. Despite this reduction to subtherapeutic doses of Ruxolitinib, all patients dosed with Selinexor in combination with Ruxolitinib experienced reductions in their spleen and improvements in their symptoms with all 5 patients who were assessed at week 24 experienced a greater or equal to 35% reduction in spleen volume.

These data suggest that Selinexor may potentially have monotherapy activity in treatment-naive patients and underscores the potential of XP01 as a fundamental mechanism in Myelofibrosis that could be leveraged both as monotherapy and in combination. Turning to Slide 26. Based on the observations from the 034 study, coupled with the need to develop effective therapies in the broadest population of JAK-naive Myelofibrosis, we are optimizing our development plan to maximize the benefit observed in this population. We anticipate having defined this plan by the first half of 2023. Now turning to Eltanexor and MDS. As you can see on Slide 28, approximately 15,000 people in the United States are expected to have been diagnosed with intermediate to high-risk MDS in 2022.

HMAs are the current standard of care for newly diagnosed higher-risk MDS patients. Prognosis and HMA refractory disease is poor with a median overall survival of 4 to 6 months, and there are currently no approved therapies for HMA-refractory MDS. On Slide 29, you can see the design of our Phase II study Eltanexor in relapsed/refractory high-risk MDS. In the Phase I portion of the study, single agent Eltanexor demonstrated promising activity among patients with HMA-refractory MDS, specifically a median overall survival of approximately 10 months was observed. We have completed enrollment of a planned interim analysis in our Phase II study and expect to report efficacy and safety results in the first half of 2023. With that, I will now hand it over to Mike.

Michael Mason: I hope everyone is having a lovely morning and thank you, Reshma. Turning to our financials. Since we issued a press release earlier today with the full financial results, I will just focus on the highlights, which begin on Slide 31. Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $33.6 million compared to $126.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. In line with our guidance for the year, total revenue for the full year of 2022 was $157.1 million compared to $209.8 million for the full year 2021. As a reminder, in the fourth quarter of 2021, we recognized $96.5 million of license and other revenue, including the upfront payment of $75 million from Menarini. Net product revenue from U.S. commercial sales of XPOVIO for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $31.1 million compared to $29.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Net product revenue from U.S. commercial sales of XPOVIO for the full year 2022 was $120.4 million, meeting our guidance for the year compared to $98.4 million for the full year 2021, representing a 22% increase year-over-year. The gross to net discount for XPOVIO in the fourth quarter of 2022 was 21% and for the full year, 2022 was 19%. We expect the gross to net discount to be in the 20% to 25% range for the full year 2023. R&D expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $30.9 million compared to $44 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $148.7 million for the full year 2022 compared to $160.8 million for the full year 2021. The decrease in R&D expenses was primarily attributable to decreased clinical trial and related costs due to the prioritization of our core programs in our clinical pipeline during 2022.

In 2023, as we continue to make progress with our clinical pipeline, we expect our R&D expenses to remain relatively consistent, including the cost from 3 pivotal clinical studies, 2 of which are ongoing and one additional plan to initiate in the first half of 2023. The increased costs from advancing these pivotal programs will be mostly offset by the cost saving measures we initiated in 2022, which included an overall headcount reduction and continued focus on our prioritized pipeline. SG&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2022 were $34.6 million, consistent with the fourth quarter of 2021. SG&A expenses for the full year 2022 were $145.4 million compared to $143.8 million for the full year 2021. In 2023, we expect our SG&A expenses to increase — to slightly increase, in line with increased inflation and cost Delivery.

On a non-GAAP basis, which excludes stock-based compensation, our total R&D and SG&A expenses in 2022 were $259 million, in line with our guidance for the year. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments as of December 31, 2022, totaled $279.7 million, following successful completion of $165 million private placement in December compared to $235.6 million as of December 31, 2021. As a reminder, we expect to receive $22 million in cash payments from Antengene this quarter. related to previously earned and recognized milestones. Based on our current operating plans, we are expecting total revenue of $160 million to $175 million for 2023 consisting of U.S. XPOVIO net product revenue and license royalty and milestone revenue expected to be earned from our partners primarily Menarini and Antengene.

We expect U.S. XPOVIO net product revenue of $125 million to $140 million; non-GAAP, R&D and SG&A expenses, which excludes stock-based compensation expense, to be in the range of $260 million to $280 million for the full year of 2023. And finally, that our existing cash, cash equivalents and investments as well as the revenue we expect to generate from XPOVIO product sales and other license revenues will be sufficient to fund our planned operations into late 2025. I’ll now flip to Slide 32. And and turn the call over to Richard for some final thoughts. Richard?

Richard Paulson: Thank you, Mike. We are focused on maintaining momentum as we deliver on our next phase of growth with a number of key near-term catalysts and corporate milestones as you see on Slide 33. Our people continue to strive each day for patients with high unmet needs as we work to generate value for patients and shareholders. Thank you again for joining us today, and I would now like to ask the operator to open the call up to the question-and-answer portion of today’s call. Operator?

Operator: . And our first question will come from Peter Lawson of Barclays.

Peter Lawson: Great. Just on — I guess potential data read out the Phase II MDS for data for Eltanexor that looks like it’s now first half versus 1Q kind of — where should we expect to see the data and how much do we expect to see?

Richard Paulson: Yes. Thanks, Peter. I’ll turn it over to Reshma to talk to that.

Reshma Rangwala: Yes. Thank you, Peter. Great question. So the timing of the MDS in term analysis is very much dependent upon the overall survival data. And I say that partly because very high unmet need patient population in this very hard to relapsed refractory patient population. We know from the published literature that overall survival for these patients is less than a year at only 4 to 6 months. So being able to identify a robust overall survival signal allows us to identify the best path forward. So at this point, we’re still following the OS data. It looks like it is going to occur in the first half of this year. But again, hard to project as we continue following these patient survival. We’ll be opportunistic in terms of how we present those data, whether it’s at a Medical Congress or through some kind of company forum. But the way I look at it, this is only a good thing for our patients.

Peter Lawson: Got it, And then just as we think about Selinexor use with BCMA therapies or ahead of BCMA therapies. Just if you could kind of walk through kind of the potential impact or benefit you had from GSK’s Blenrep being withdrawn. And then if you’re seeing Selinexor being used ahead of cell-based BCMA therapies.

Richard Paulson: Yes, Peter, maybe I’ll turn to Sohanya touch on the first part of that, and then I’ll have Reshma kind of close it with some interesting data looking at T-cell fitness. Sohanya?

Sohanya Cheng: Great. Thanks, Peter, for the question. So let me tackle the Blenrep question first. Blenrep was used primarily in late-line patients. And as you know, with XPOVIO, we are focused in that second to fourth line setting. Secondly, GSK continued their compassionate use program so that current patients on Blenrep could continue on. Having said that, now we are starting to see pockets of opportunity around the country where some of the Blenrep opportunities in the late-line academic setting are starting to materialize as new starts on XPOVIO. As Switching gears into kind of overall competitive landscape in the T-cell mediated therapies in the BCMA class and the role of XPOVIO. So taking a step back and when you look at this class, the — primarily, all the entrants in the class have been coming into the late line setting in the academic center.

When you look at our performance in 2022, we grew over 20% year-over-year for the full year. But in the academic setting, despite increased competition with new BCMA as well as the CAR-T, we grew 7% year-over-year. Now this is an important space because XPOVIO continues to have a strong value proposition in the academic space. We already see physicians using it in certain accounts primarily as a runway leading up to a T cell therapy. And secondarily, we also see some XPOVIO use post T-cell therapy in the academic setting. Now as we generate more T-cell fitness data, this should further strengthen our positioning in the academic setting. My final point is that, as we know, these complex therapies can be very difficult for certain types of patients to access.

For example, the elderly patients and rural patients which constitute a majority of multiple myeloma patients. So that will be a target population for us in the academic setting. Now as we continue to generate more data on this T-cell fitness story, I’d love to call on Reshma to elaborate on some of the exciting work that we’ve got planned ahead for this year.

Reshma Rangwala: Yes. Thank you, Sohanya. So we are looking at the T-cell fitness story largely because physicians are very interested in the T-cell fitness story. They really want to know what agents that they can prescribe to their patients, they’re not going to negatively impact their ability to get some kind of immunotherapy later in line, including CAR-Ts. This is very important for them because they know from experience that a certain class of drugs, including the alkylating agents like Cytoxan and melphalan kill dividing cells including T-cells, which ultimately cause damage and negatively impact a patient’s apheresis collection. Given the minimal slots given that getting a slot for these patients on CAR-T, again, is so difficult.

Again, they want to have confidence that if they can prescribe Selinexor to their patients, it is not going to again negatively impact their ability to get one of those therapies. What we are doing is looking across multiple different data sets including preclinical data, leveraging our own translational data as well as looking at real-world evidence to really assess whether Selinexor can maintain that immune environment and therefore, maximize the benefit that they can achieve with one of those newer immunotherapies.

Peter Lawson: Great. And then just finally, Mike, is there anything you can say around the 2023 revenue growth, is that — so in terms of volume and pricing, it would be great.

Michael Mason: Maybe I’ll turn it to Sohanya on that. Sohanya?

Sohanya Cheng: Thanks for the question. So different components kind of going into the guidance. First of all, we feel confident in delivering within our guidance range. As we look at the different levers going into the guidance, it’s really a balance between demand growth from expansion in the community and shift into earlier lines. And that’s balanced with increased pressure in the academic setting from new competition coming in 2023. I think a few key points on the tailwinds just increased use in the academic — in the community setting, we grew 28% year-over-year last year. This continues to remain our primary area of focus. I think the interesting thing as we mature with this drug is we have now built a very strong base of prescribers and we’ll continue to drive debt there. We also continue to shift into earlier line. So these factors will help to drive demand here.

Michael Mason: The only thing I would add to that, Peter, is we did guide that gross to net will be higher in 2023 versus 2022. So we expect the range to be somewhere in the 20% to 25% where in 2022, we were around 19%.

Operator: The next question comes from Maury Raycroft of Jefferies.
