$MLYS AZN's comments on the launch of Baxfendy:
"The way I would describe it's quite an encouraging start. We have already been able to deliver 12,000 new patient starts. As expected, most of those patient starts are in the commercial book of business, because we don't have any coverage yet in Part D, that will take some time. It's not unusual. We have submitted our bids for Part D to all the plans, hopefully we will see the coverage in 2028 coming through. We have bridging programs in place, what is very, let's say, pleasing to see is that both primary care physicians as well as specialists have started to prescribe Baxfendy. Likewise, there's a very healthy split between patients for resistant hypertension as well as for uncontrolled hypertension. So early days, for sure. We are hoping to see more commercial access as we go on in the course of 2028, then full coverage, if possible, in 2027 for commercial and 2028 for Part D".
