In May, Cosmo’s key pipeline product MethyleneBlue suffered a setback with the FDA issuing a Complete Response Letter (non-approval) and surprisingly requiring a second phase III trial to gain US approval. We conservatively push back US approval by ~3 years. EU filing remains unchanged for Q4 2018 with approval expected at the end of 2019. MethyleneBlue, with unchanged global peak sales of USD 700+ mn, should be transformational for Cosmo. Rifamycin SV/Rifafalk is likely the most underestimated pipeline product with US and EU approval in its first indication for travelers’ diarrhea expected in Q4 2018.

Key catalysts include:

    • Rifamycin SV/Rifafalk US & EU approval travelers’ diarrhea (Q4 2018)
    • MethyleneBlue EU filing colonoscopy (Q4 2018)
    • Remimazolam US filing procedural sedation (Q4 2018/Q1 2019)
