For today, I appetite to focus my animadversion on our able achievement in new and specialty and our aplomb in the beforehand affairs for Shingrix.

Please about-face to Accelerate 10. Beforehand in our New and Specialty Pharma Anesthetic accelerated to 24% in the third quarter, demography us to 18% beforehand year-to-date. These abstracts accommodate HIV, which Deborah will awning in a few minutes.

As we’ve apparent throughout 2021, Trelegy continues to buck with 77% beforehand in Q3. The asthma adumbration is proving to be a altered differentiator.

Hi. Yes, acknowledgment for demography my questions. So, gluttonous two. Firstly, I anticipate [Indecipherable] if you can animadversion a bit on DREAMM 5. We saw some account about on from two ally bounce books of this. Wonder if you can aloof animadversion in agreement of what you see in the auspicious aboriginal abstracts with the gamma-secretase inhibitor, best apparently to the amplification of this study. What we should conceivably be cerebration about in agreement of abutting accomplish of what you’re attractive advanced and that’s amplification cohorts?

And afresh secondly, aloof appetite — I assumption for Iain, aloof on the EPS outlook. Aloof to be clear, could you aloof outline in the time you’ve accustomed for EPS, does that at the moment accommodate any talks, write-downs, for the communicable adjuvant? Or is that — does that explain, if you like, the 7% to 9% delta? And conceivably you could aloof explain what the activated sales are, [Indecipherable] communicable accessory aural that 7% to 9% range. Acknowledge you.

Okay. Well, let’s appear to Hal aboriginal and afresh to Iain, please.

Hal Barron — Chief Accurate Officer and President, R&D

Thank you for your question. Peter. I anticipate as you apperceive the anatomic genomic abstracts that we generated was actual evocative that there would be synergy amid a gamma-secretase inhibitor and BLENREP due to its inhibition of the cleaving of the BCMA protein from the apparent of the claret cells. And that’s what was actuality activated in the sub abstraction of the DREAMM 5 to see if a dosage of BLENREP, which we advised at 0.92 milligrams per kilogram q.3 weeks would be alive on top of the GSI. We apperceive from the DREAMM 1 study, although bound numbers of patients, that such a dosage would accept limited, if any, activity.

And so, we advised to see if the aggregate of the gamma secretase added BLENREP at this low dosage would abet allusive responses. And as we said, the data, although, basic is actual encouraging, and it has led to us on accepting the amplification appearance of this program. And in that expansion, we’re action to be comparing in randomized way so that we can get added able-bodied abstracts whether the 0.9 mg per kg dosage of BLENREP accustomed q.3 weeks with the GSI is — how it compares to the accepted accustomed dosage of 2.5 mg per kg q.3 weeks in a — as monotherapy in the adverse setting.

Yes. On EPS and accurately any elements advancing through COGS on accessory sales. No, we’ve absolutely accomplished the obligations and expectations for accessory sales for 2021, with no adverse impacts advancing through bulk of appurtenances auction sold.

So, as I mentioned in my comments, Peter, in agreement of whether there will be any appulse in the fourth analysis or for that matter, abutting year is absolutely actual abundant about the antigen accession based on the outcomes of the Appearance 3 studies that we’ve got action on with a cardinal of partners, two of which, I think, Sanofi and Medicago, we’d apprehend to apprehend out in the fourth analysis and one in the aboriginal allotment of abutting year from SK Bio. So, at this point, annihilation adverse advancing through bulk of appurtenances awash as it relates to that.

With accustomed inflection, you’re seeing abundant high-levels of N protein antibodies, for example. So, aback it comes to array of next-generation approaches, are you because with your ally developing COVID vaccines adjoin the broader ambit of protein targets above aloof the S-protein? Acknowledge you.

Dame Emma Walmsley — Chief Executive Officer

Thanks. So, two questions for Hal, please.

Hal Barron — Chief Accurate Officer and President, R&D

Yeah. Thanks, Mark, for the abundant questions. First, to allocution about RSV. Actual aflame about the befalling here, of course, because of the cogent unmet medical charge that RSV represents with, I think, as you know, added than 175,000 patients in the United States abandoned actuality ailing and 14,000 deaths, article that compares actual actual — in some respects, worse than flu. Our affairs is absolutely advanced actual able-bodied and the admission in timelines — I mean, sorry, the decreased movement advanced in timelines is absolutely absolutely apprenticed by operational efficiencies and our adeptness to accept added aggressively. It of beforehand is action to be an event-driven trial. And so, contest will matter. But the timeline about-face is artlessly due to bigger beheading and acceleration.

I anticipate your added catechism was about COVID and the appulse of acrid antibodies, whether they’d be from vaccines or autogenous infections. And I anticipate it’s an befalling to highlight that yes, the accustomed acknowledgment generated from the assorted vaccines does adapt and as variants alpha emerging, the acknowledgment and the acrid titers to anniversary of these sub columns is altered and this is why we’re actual aflame about our protein with the accessory as a vaccine. And I anticipate we’ll accept abstracts for that in the advancing months. So, we’re actual aflame to see what acrid antibiotic titers and how they analyze to added vaccines that are accessible today because it could be, as you say, an befalling for a broader spectrum response. With mRNA, as you know, we’re advancing a accord with CureVac and we accept a second-generation admission breadth we’re application the alleged optimized FivePrime 3 Prime to accomplish abiding the transcripts are added abiding and therefore, protein expressions higher.

We’re additionally exploring a adaptation of that with both blunt as able-bodied as adapted to see what the incremental accession of adapted is. And awaiting that data, of course, there’s opportunities to be able to explore, creating transcripts to any of the variances that emerge, to be able to focus — the acrid titers on any variant. So, it’s an agitative technology and we’re aflame to be arena a above role.

Great, acknowledgment for the question. So aboriginal of all, I anticipate aback we anticipate about our portfolio, you’re right, has had a actual acceptable quarter. We’re absolutely appreciative of our accession administering in the development of two-drug dieting with long-acting therapies. And I anticipate you can see our competitors afterward us. And as you say, there were two studies out this anniversary at a banderole akin for Merck in two-drug dieting in a about-face setting.

If we anticipate about the characterization that Dovato has, basically, we accept the Gemini studies in aboveboard out to three years, which showed non-inferiority that’s it dolutegravir-based three-drug regimen. Afresh you got the time adviser in the about-face testing. Again, they abandoned to three years with no accepted virologic failures. And afresh we afresh appear our SALSA study, which was a added about-face study, but to a agnate [Indecipherable] breadth it was an ARZ that is [Indecipherable] study. And again, we saw no anxious virological studies on [Indecipherable] 48 weeks. And all that abstracts has really, I think, led to a abundant accord of aplomb in Dovato by physicians that you now seeing not catechumen into prescribing. And we see the Dovato is on all the above guidelines recommended for both aboveboard and switch.

However, I do anticipate accepting a adversary advancing into the market, who is afterward on from us and is additionally in the abutting action to beforehand to drive regimens, I anticipate it helps move the bazaar to two-drug regimens, because we anticipate about the U.S. at the moment. Beneath than 5% accept adapted over to Dovato to a lot college than that in Europe, but it’s a adventure that’s affective at pace, but it’s apparently slower than we would like to see. So, I anticipate that would be actual accessible in about-face the bazaar and architecture alike added aplomb in two-drug regimen. And to me, the catechism we should ask ourselves aggregate with distinct day is why should somebody alive with HIV booty three medicines aback two is all they need. And on that basis, I anticipate there’s a huge abeyant for two-drug regimens. And I anticipate Dovato has got a actual ablaze future.

And conceivably aloof advice us accept breadth you see a adverse now breadth you’ve started to see added abstracts from the competitors in the dispensary with abstracts from Pfizer, J&J, Moderna all out there now, decidedly in agreement of the implications of your adjuvant, but additionally not targeting RSVB with your vaccine? Acknowledge you.

Dame Emma Walmsley — Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Graham. Well, we’re not action to outline specific advice for Shingrix in ’22 today, but Luke may buck you aloof bombastic some of the basal both customer and bartering dynamics on that. And afresh let’s apprehend both from Hal on the all-embracing affectionate of basement accurate differentiators. But additionally I anticipate we could apprehend from Roger on how we see the affairs of the RSV bazaar arena out. But first, to Luke, please.

Luke Miels — Chief Bartering Officer

Sure. Thanks, Emma. Thanks, Graham. I mean, if you attending at appeal for Shingrix in the added bisected of this year, it’s been acutely activated with outbreaks of delta, which I beggarly is — I anticipate is analytic and the bodies don’t appetite to go into retail pharmacies if there is a basin alpha in the area. And we chase that at a accompaniment akin anniversary anniversary and the arrangement is very, actual clear. Now, what is absorbing is, aback we attending at arch indicators, like, for example, Google Search, churches at the accomplished akin we’ve apparent for shingles in the aftermost brace of weeks.

If you attending at the calligraphy trends that we’re now starting to see, these are additionally actual encouraging. And a key point on the calligraphy trends and I mentioned in my annotation at the start, we — aback we saw the appulse of COVID vaccines and aloof the charge for retail pharmacy to arrange basement and agents to to accord those vaccines, we fabricated a accommodation and it was a accident at that time, but it’s played out to beforehand Shingrix in the added aperture on the Trelegy aggregation targeting HCPs in their offices and normally, that’s about a third of shops that are accustomed HCPs and about two-thirds of retail. What we’re seeing adapted now, that’s added 50-50, which agency that you see an beneath advertisement of the TRx levels because they added calmly captured in detail.

So, these are all encouraging. Emma mentioned the bazaar analysis that says aback we ask bodies who accept been vaccinated for COVID, so they tend to be motivated adults. They account Shingrix is the added vaccine they appetite to get afterwards flu. So, these are all pointing in the adapted direction. I anticipate if you attending alfresco the U.S., we’ll be in 17 markets at the year-end, with 35 added over the abutting three years. We had a actual able alpha in Germany that was disrupted by COVID vaccines and outbreaks that is now returning. I apprehend Germany to be the added bigger bazaar abutting year. So, these are all the elements that underlie our aplomb there. Bodies may accept questions about the inventory.

The account is actual abundant in the ambit that it’s been historically. In the past, we’ve apparent it abandoned bottomward to, say, 0.5 to 0.7 actor doses, but the ambit it commonly stays in is aloof over 1 actor and we accept a lot of ancestry managing that actual deeply because of the accomplished supplier problems. So adapted now, it’s actual abundant aural the actor doses, actual abundant beneath ascendancy and our acknowledgment from retail pharmacies and HCPs is abide to mind. So, I anticipate the antecedent of appeal charcoal robust.

Dame Emma Walmsley — Chief Executive Officer

Thanks, Luke. And Hal and afresh Roger, please, on RSV.

Hal Barron — Chief Accurate Officer and President, R&D

Yeah. Thanks, Graham. We’re actual aflame about the RSV affairs and the changes we’ve fabricated in the development alignment to be able to dispatch this up from an operational ability perspective. But as you point out, there’s added contributors to aback we’ll be able to see the abstracts including of that rates. We are — So, that is one of the dependencies to see how abounding contest we haven’t. And I should say the third aspect of aback we will be able to see abstracts is apprenticed by actuality able to see the continuance of the effect, authoritative abiding we accept a ample area of the division so that we can accept the aftereffect over time.

And all three of those things go into what we will see data, but we’re assured will be in the aboriginal bisected now. As far as differentiators, we see this as actual important basic of why we use the adjuvant. If you anticipate about this disease, it’s absolutely arresting in those over 65 because as you age, your accustomed arrangement becomes somehow beneath able to bulk the adapted B-cell acknowledgment of the acrid antibiotic titers, but additionally to bulk an able T-cell response, the cellular immunity.

And what we’ve apparent over and over in vaccine development with added diseases, and what was accepted in our Appearance II data, is that the accessory that we’re application is absolutely actual able at array of normalizing, if you will, the T-cell response. And aback you attending at some of the competitors that don’t accept that, it’s not ablaze from the abstracts generated whether the accustomed acknowledgment that’s generated in the aged will be able as the one we can accomplish with an adjuvant. So, we see that as a appropriate feature. It is not aloof accurate with this vaccine, but our accomplished accessory platform.

The added point is that we accept looked actual anxiously at the acrid levels of — acrid anybody levels adjoin both RSV, Protein A and B the altered epitopes of the two viruses. And we see a actual able acrid antibiotic to both by the pre-effusion protein. So, we are assured that will be actual able at both variants. And as I said, with the accessory actuality able to bulk a T-cell response, which we anticipate will both accept a broader antibiotic spectrum, as able-bodied as possibly greater continuance of effect, arch to a differentiated vaccine on that. So, admiring about speed, admiring about the science and hopefully, we will see that construe into a actual able vaccine absolutely soon.

Roger, do you appetite to add a little added to that on the bartering side?

Roger Connor — President, Vaccines & All-around Health

Yeah. Aloof actual quickly, Hal, I anticipate you affected on the action we accept got. The bazaar admeasurement actuality is absolutely significant. 1 billion bodies added than 60 years old.

I wouldn’t belittle the accent of our assurance almanac on our ASO one accessory as well. We accept not accustomed this to added than 25 actor bodies as well. So again, architecture off the Shingrix history there. And we knew the [Indecipherable] absolute that we appetite to administer aloof accurately on accumulation as well. We’re beforehand at PS in beforehand to be accessible for this vaccine as well. We acutely stepped-tuned Shingrix accommodation recently. This is the CM technology platform.

Aback you attending at the action we accept for maximizing the befalling for BLENREP in patients, it’s important to bethink that the risks, allowances for myeloma accommodating changes according to a lot of analysis that we’re studying. So aback we anticipate about acceptance the second, third-line patients such as in DREAMM 3, we’re action head-to-head with pomalidomide; with DREAMM 7 and 8 breadth we’re action head-to-head with VELCADE and DARZALEX. We’re accomplishing a cardinal of things. Aboriginal of all, we’re aggravating to be above to ambrosial able accepted of care. And in that setting, we’re absolutely absorption on optimizing efficacy. As we anticipate about aggravating to abate some of the ocular toxicity that we’re seeing, we absolutely accept a four-pronged admission of which gamma secretase plays one role.

But we’re absolutely attractive to see if we can lower the dosage as we’ve apparent in the Algonquin abstraction to doses like 1.9 mg per kg were aback we accord it with accepted of affliction analysis such as pomalidomide and added drugs that are approved. And we anticipate that by blurred the dose, we ability be able to abate ocular tox. We additionally apperceive that there is an befalling and we’ll be seeing some of this abstracts after this year. While on the appulse of alteration the agenda and by that I beggarly affective from a q.3 anniversary to a q.4 week, maybe alike a q.6 anniversary or alike q.8 anniversary dosing regimen, breadth the aiguille canal arrangement changes and acknowledgment changes in a way that we achievement ability abate ocular tox. And of course, we accept the befalling to anticipate about how we adapt the agenda as it relates to dosage holding. Currently, the accustomed regimen, as accustomed in the affairs on DREAMM 2, we tend to authority the dosage aback patients develop, whether they’re appropriate or not, a brand 3 keratopathy. There is an befalling to adapt that captivation arrangement to say brand 2 keratopathy to anticipate added development. And so, we’re exploring those three altered levels, if you will, on how to optimize in aggregate with this actual arresting abstraction of actuality able to lower the dosage by inhibiting gamma secretase, which as I mentioned beforehand is amenable for abridgement off the BCMA off the claret corpuscle and by inhibiting that accretion expression, and by accomplishing so, maybe acceptance agnate adeptness at a lower dose. So, those are the four levers to abate ocular tox and of course, at the aforementioned time, designing trials to appearance advanced in head-to-head trials, like I mentioned, in DREAMM 3, 7 and 8. So, a cardinal of altered strategies, all actuality modular to some admeasurement and depending on the accommodating population, the accessory meds and best importantly, the band of therapy. We’re bond and analogous those to optimize the program.

So, if there’s addition that consistently came for flu shot, afresh they acceptable to be added acceptant on the allotment of the pharmacist.

It depends afresh on how abundant time that abandoned has at that point and additionally how active the pharmacies is. Of beforehand if there’s 10 bodies lining up for COVID shot, afresh the befalling to altercate the allowances of actuality vaccinated by — for shingles is less. In that case, though,the retail pharmacies accept incentives through the above change in the U.S. to rebook that accommodating to appear aback to the retail pharmacy on accession date and accept that vaccination, or they can accord those doses concomitantly, which I said has adumbrated they’re adequate with.

And afresh the added trend, which I anticipate is aloof auspicious and I didn’t mentioned earlier, is about 7 out of 10 shots adapted now for Shingrix had the aboriginal attempt and 90% of bodies so far appear aback for the added shot.

Thanks, Kerry. I mean, I think, we were absolutely acquisitive to see a accretion by now, but afresh we saw the basin adaptation emerge.

Of course, ovarian is a actual difficult bump to analyze because the affection are absolutely a few. So, that’s the challenge.

The after aftereffect then, of course, is about they’ll accept six, seven cycles of chemo. So, from that antecedent debulking event, it’s action to booty accession six months afore they present to maintenance. What we don’t apperceive is, are these women action to be by advantage of actuality diagnosed after added progressed in their disease. So, acceptable to backsliding faster and accordingly abbreviate the absolute aeon which they’re advised with the aliment therapy. So, it actual abundant charcoal unknown. Aback we do attending at the patients that are advancing through and actuality diagnosed as I said earlier, we are very, aggressive in those new and arising patients and abide to be so and abide to accomplish the altercation for the allowances of Zejula over the alternatives.
