For AMT-061, we assume a 70% POS driven by the compelling clinical updates and single- arm Phase 3 involving about 50 patients, along with RMAT and PRIME designations. We anticipate commercial launch during 2H22, with a NAB-based exclusion of 5%, and model risk-adjusted peak sales of roughly $765M, during 2028. We assume a launch price of $850K, which could be an underestimate based on the 7 plus years of anticipated durability.”
