Third-quarter 2019 sales performance(3) led by Sanofi Genzyme and Emerging Markets
|
Sanofi Chief Executive Officer, Paul Hudson, commented: “Since joining Sanofi only two months ago, I am increasingly excited about the strength of our businesses, our ability to develop transformative medicines and the diverse talent of our teams across the organization. Building on this foundation, Sanofi delivered a resilient underlying performance in the third quarter with strong sales in Specialty Care, largely driven by the continued outstanding performance of Dupixent®. I am encouraged by the organization’s early achievements in our efficiency initiatives, which will allow us to further drive innovation in our business. I’m looking forward to discussing Sanofi‘s strategic priorities at our Capital Markets Day in Cambridge, MA on December 10”. |

Dupixent® (collaboration with Regeneron) generated sales of €570 million in the third quarter (up 142%). In the U.S., Dupixent® sales of €455 million (up 130%) were driven by continued growth in atopic dermatitis which benefited from launch in the adolescent age group (12 to 17 years of age) in mid-March, rapid uptake in asthma and launch in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (approved in the U.S. in June). Dupixent® U.S. NBRx and TRx were respectively up 15% and 21% sequentially. In Europe, third-quarter sales were €54 million (up 170%).

This data is supportive of continuous long term use of Dupixent®.
Kevzara® (collaboration with Regeneron) sales were €49 million (up 118%) in the third quarter, of which €33 million was in the U.S. (up 78%) reflecting increased adoption and category share. First nine months Kevzara® sales increased 142% to €131 million.

Third-quarter Praluent® (collaboration with Regeneron) sales decreased 11.8% to €61 million, reflecting lower sales in the U.S. (down 31.7% to €29 million) which were impacted by significantly higher rebates. In Europe, Praluent® sales increased 4.5% to €22 million despite the suspension of sales in Germany in August following the Regional Court of Dusseldorf ruling in the ongoing patent litigation. First nine months Praluent® sales decreased 0.6% to €183 million. In August, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware ruled in favor of Sanofi and Regeneron in the ongoing Praluent® (alirocumab) patent litigation. The Court found as a matter of law that Amgen’s asserted patent claims for antibodies targeting PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) are invalid based on lack of enablement. U.S. payer coverage for Praluent® in 2020 is expected to be lower for insured lives across Medicare plans.
