Filgotinib RA data an incremental positive

FIrst Phase III data filgotinib in RA patients looks solid and while not necessarily significantly differentiated on efficacy, the safety profile could be an advantage vs other JAK inhibitors in development. We await further clinical updates including Ph III RA and Crohn's data in 2019 as well the MANTA trial looking at potential filgotinib toxicity in males. We revise up probability of success in RA to 80% and increase peak sales estimate to $2.1b from $1.7b and increase our DCF-derived target price to $71 from $69. Maintain Neutral.
