We had previously assumed a launch price of $140k/ yr in adults and $70k/yr in peds in the US (w/ ~4% biennial price increases beginning in in 2016). Our prior model also only assigned 50% probability of success, we have increased this to 100%. We see peak sales at $400M by 2019 WW. We have not adjusted our EU pricing assumptions. We see the first launch year as 2015," said analyst Robyn Karnauskas.
