Pulmonology/fibrotic disease specialist w/EU approval of its Esbriet (will be exclusive treatment for 2yr). Hopes to complete US Phase III within 2yr to resumbit for approval. A one-drug to riches play (sold hepatology rights for $175m in 2010 & only have one small drug in mkt). If u believe in +ve binary outcome, u buy (&will tell us our credit is wide). Model isn’t important here but for those who think it is, we’ll use L+800 & 40%. Theo = 101.9/104/106.3. Stock placement a lot harder to play given macro. Dont like 7 yr but small deak w/plenty of stk believers. Set up heavy & wait 4 +ve Esbriet outcome.

ITMN has approval for Esbriet (IPF treatment) in EU & about to launch in Germany w/others following though 2013. No treatment exists & will be exclusive for several yrs. Have kicked off add’l pipeline. Sold hepatology rights to Roche in 2010 for $175m cash. Esbriet could be blockbuster in a few yrs, but w/any emerging biotech there are many risks
