Piper Jaffray analyst Christopher Raymond says that while Regeneron Pharmaceuticals' asthma label for Dupixent does not broadly cover patients regardless of eosinophilic phenotype as he had anticipated, it does cover oral corticosteroid dependent patients regardless of eosinophilic phenotype, which essentially matches his modeling. Moreover, the analyst notes that the label covers all patients 12 and older, and both moderate and severe disease. As such, he sees the label as broad, "but not necessarily as anticipated." The analyst is making no change to his numbers based on the label and keeps an Overweight rating on Regeneron with a $450 price target.
