What to look for in BAN2401 data this week

Following discussions with Alzheimer's key opinion leaders ahead of detailed BAN2401 data due on July 25 15:30 CT, we outline a "best-case" data scenario in which results are driven by objective endpoints from the CDR-sb and ADAS-cog scales, supported by a robust p-value and backed up by time and dose dependent trends. While clinicians see the absolute efficacy hurdle as relatively low, BIIB share price appreciation (+20% since top-line) increases the risk into the event. Based on read across to the lead asset aducanumab, we see a positive scenario fair value of $370 (+3%) vs a downside scenario of $315 (-12%), but we expect considerably higher volatility on the day.
