growth be And impacted mix. the of us, a has by has of by by going given for and the Eliquis, For will our notwithstanding HCV gross we has which Pfizer. and you had it inventory structure our XXXX, been nice quarter been this margin XX% margin And below a million. relationship where $XX as P&L large, our forward, mix, write-off guided with driver know, particular

So margin think by have HCV, does it side. we're of on growth, also, end of lose towards although in top high-margin also And and at the the a end and we Sustiva can on in U.S. large, this good headwind the line you the Eliquis do of year of sense really Reyataz the products. although, and very the

I context about So of being Eliquis a think it in drag. the would

We are losing some higher-margin products.

So margin you can think about the factor gross mix being in the most our forward. important going

Murdo Gordon

on And in pleased quarter with in we're quarter-over-quarter Eliquis really obviously, We're seeing. and up demand sequentially over up we're prior demand trends demand. Seamus, just trends, X% that year XX% TRx same

for very Eliquis the curve So line top demand good. looks

As Charlie obviously, lower other a had products. some it margin than gross of our has said,

decline of within make to the a mind of the in net due comment to are so contracting couple the entering that an with some done. dynamics of the another did patients in third channels that sales stable our in coverage terms in increase for we position and partly strengthening I year, to gross-to-net, But can number that slight in some the some DoD overall, marketplace see showed and quarter Eliquis access on keep was Just this our in we strategic increase of and quarter, percentage some gap, is for quarter-over-quarter.

First question, potential into opportunities XXXX. study I for believe, was about starts non-oncology assets registrational going and

NASH. LAG-X, three As on actively are working our we and we've important mentioned advancing in programs, program IDO, before, FGFXX

will as that we also the TYK-X BTK seeing see forward well. months, we few next the and data look program. to And program the data Over on proof-of-concept

outside So pipeline of and oncology the in is progressing. oncology

questions. I had answer and really You I PD-X you there we the respect test, was give a TMB. to believe, our report is perspective there, whether any potential the on Tom to that availability question, with and but perspective ask two data also don't to have any news One updated think there on I'll answer is,

Thomas J. Lynch, Jr.

meetings. we PD-LX test shows that Yes. hard is I'd was it drugs. the do PD-LX question. very, and very believe their Tim, recent the by that hear is to which Again, companies similar we is used being test, regarding apologies, say, It other our we to that at evaluating have reproducible data presented

patients your look rate think able is will second look important. all any and was would response rate we biomarker, its incredibly to would ability question about. say to overall any any we which at at, predict response I with would and PFS overall survival survival, look become determine as be the question that, to I we and that's that of And group data PFS in sounded important. set TMB those in at, what about endpoints given

show And and that PFS immuno-oncology incredibly is I we think OS balance studies OS between important. benefits. is relative that one the love

that a but future. that's hear. future, of wouldn't our a and of become in will of not And as reason in patients that's agents the I third-line I'm think second- are look don't look in many best if excellent believe more to that often. would show And any patients group of selected in other to may PD-LX PFS we you at we to sorry asked, group exactly think, I there's beginning what at activity the we our as the ability areas, something TMB

We now will JPMorgan. Schott take Please from ahead. Chris from our go question next

Chris Schott

Thanks much. very Great.

here. Just two questions

much. PD-X in we relative about as you're second you to Opdivo-Yervoy the to that going think forward? Thanks commercial thinking studies guess whether And here influence I in know do First but products? you to we think balancing predict a which from combo seems also the of it's I additional different study opportunity A, response can TMB. types. in on or very tumor tumor some any markers that this these that dose, combo either different see My both indication, about your running or just, coming was as as about around different confidence, back question the talk B, predictive using some CheckMate-XXX learnings how types, it's renal, status,

Giovanni Caforio

you. thank Chris,

you for on So there Tom. some I'll a to ask are and couple Murdo questions give of renal, then, perspective

Murdo Gordon

Yes, thanks about regimen Opdivo for really our opportunity the in we're question, Yervoy the the Chris. I-O franchise, frontline. total renal think When we plus excited about for

the treated terms of opportunity patients. population, second-line in in size opportunity frontline roughly the of the terms scale-wise of twice is Just patient

about think the you X,XXX if first-line that double the So RCC about second-line to about in per size you're being in the of treated year, patient U.S. setting. population

overall cetera, think there'll I survival that compelling obviously, that SITC at a a demonstrate we've presentation little an data I in able for very, depending us. in be is and been very So opportunity trial could think interesting for while. that to And on et update labeling, be what

have in nice a materialize you a take We the holding. malignancies. and might because than effect right over longer is in of And on now job to will slower-moving done in malignancy second-line TKI's share other see versus progression, second-line terms this XX%

thanks quick and guys the I morning, have Good for ones. just couple of question. a

make looks stable but be start U.S., Opdivo you. flows to trends? to sure on new I-O. wasn't combo is as patient I are follow to de-risking the make further up Would question committed foundational sure in And us can largely downstream? used Thank CTLA-X earlier an on first-line trends. it impact second-line sense then, in the quarter, wanted I important guys overall gen an mechanism for the KEYTRUDA program. you as to tell next forward? having on You CTLA-X what on needed Is and in an what that going lung

Thomas J. Lynch, Jr.

combination the is delivered to the to us. incredibly impact for I has earlier continues to thanks we important We mechanism believe a patients It's for think, continues broadly. and on Opdivo-Yervoy Geoff, CTLA-X. and So that improve as said that again, CTLA-X deliver question

gen very some has CTLA-X are compounds. that believe One do year. clinical this that we're Now, greater very And is there to second opportunities is two again, trials which that hope for the And partner, our have begin our that with to the at entered formulation, soon. clinical at there them. and CytomX, trials non-fucosylated in exciting and is looking seems the looking Probody potency we looks that we of next technology

two foundational and those with would at approaches, agents to point once I those the inclined either forward of So see evidence of move efficacy, both offer a certainly we for potential have believe be think partner kind we safety that the CTLA-X patients to as to Opdivo. just I potential down now, do road. that they the us – of have benefit like to the they that is

Murdo Gordon

That's Yes, commercially and are second-line, medical just as organizations. and our mentioned, Geoff, on nicely. performance up the shares, very a strong holding you with

pool We immuno-oncology are second-line seeing the lower on of slightly eligible impact patients.

in seen in agent So an percentage of in neighborhood I-O before. the who terms have that first-line not reduction of volume patients roughly of X% is

as so the expected. So that's little less to first-line, Opdivo. of is a We're and share of bit a helping than also that's Pembro penetration it's holding anticipated, non-promoted first-line reduction With onto we'd in that some we (XX:XX:XX) respect also stable.

everyone. thanks, So

quarter trends this the of let execution progress was fronts a me continuing pleased summary, We in commercial the the execution. R&D at a in for overall. respect with call, good I just pipeline am end number say of on Just made strong with good to and us.

again, a We to set you. ahead events us. talk Thanks, And look of day. have a number to of good have all have obviously, of opportunity and of ahead to important broaden to which continuing, of us, the the opportunities continue to I we have forward
