Omalizumab

Roche’s Vabysmo disappointed investors again. In the second quarter, the eye drug’s sales of about 1.04 billion Swiss francs ($1.27 billion) missed analysts’ expectations by 7.1%. Speaking on an investor call Thursday, Roche Pharmaceuticals CEO Teresa Graham assured analysts that the U.S. branded market has stabilized after a period of contraction, though the explosive growth that Vabysmo enjoyed early in its launch is likely behind it. “We are seeing that 2% to 3% growth in the overall retinal market,” Graham said. “We do expect that this is going to be the new normal, and we don’t expect a rebound to previous levels.” Vabysmo’s Q2 sales figure represents a 1% decline year over year. But Roche expects the drug’s revenue in the U.S. to grow by a low- to mid-single-digit for the full year, and its global sales to increase by low double-digits, according to Graham. “We continue to consider consensus peak sales expectations for Vabysmo of around 6 billion [Swiss francs], it’s very reasonable, and we’re confident that we’re on track to achieve this number,” Graham said. Initially approved by the FDA in early 2022, Vabysmo started to show signs of a deceleration toward the latter half of 2025, partly thanks to the closure of certain copay assistance programs. The first biosimilar to a key rival drug, Regeneron’s Eylea, was also launched toward the end of 2024. Graham stressed that the Eylea biosimilar didn’t impact Vabysmo. In the ophthalmology space, biosimilars tend to only affect the originators that they reference, without much bleed-over to other products, she observed. Citing physician surveys, Graham noted that Vabysmo is a physicians’ favorite and therefore expects it to “take a disproportionate share” of the overall branded market growth. Beyond Vabysmo, immunology drug Xolair was cited as the biggest growth driver in Roche’s pharma business. In Q2, Xolair’s sales jumped 21% year over year, reaching 965 million Swiss francs ($1.18 billion) while crushing Wall Street consensus by 10.5%. A slowdown could be around the corner. Roche currently projects a September entry for the first Xolair biosimilar in the U.S. But the Swiss pharma is still guiding to roughly 20% growth for the entire year of 2026. Elsewhere in the immunology department, Graham expressed excitement over the potential of Gazyva—a CD20 antibody initially utilized as a cancer therapy—in autoimmune indications. Despite continued competitive pressure in the chronic lymphocytic leukemia field pulling back Gazyva to flat sales year over year, Graham cited “first early indications” of its launch progress in lupus nephritis. In the U.S., Germany and the U.K., where Gazyva is available in lupus, Roche recorded Gazyva quarterly sales growth with patient share approaching 10%, according to Graham. Roche expects FDA decisions on three Gazyva label expansion opportunities this year, including idiopathic nephrotic syndrome on Sept. 27, membranous nephropathy on Nov. 15 and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) on Dec. 4. With all of Gazyva’s immunology indications filed with the FDA, Roche expects that they will fuel its 2 billion Swiss francs peak sales ambition. In Q2, Gazyva sales of 242 million Swiss francs missed consensus by 8.4%. In lupus, Roche has stopped development of a CD19xCD3 bispecific after evaluating the drug in a phase 1 SLE trial. Simultaneously, the company has moved Lunsumio, a CD20xCD3 T-cell engager approved for blood cancer treatment, into phase 2 testing for SLE. “SLE is a very heterogeneous and complex disease,” Graham explained on the Q2 call. “While we saw great results with Gazyva, we do believe there’s an opportunity for more benefit for patients, and based on Lunsumio’s mechanism of action and its safety profile, we think it could actually be a really great option for patients with SLE.” Overall, Roche’s 12.16 billion Swiss francs in pharmaceutical sales came 1.3% ahead of consensus, boosting group-wide sales to 15.5 billion Swiss francs during Q2.

We reported positive phase III data for divarasib , reinforcing its potential as a best-in-class therapy in advanced lung cancer. Our regulatory momentum accelerated significantly as the US FDA granted five Priority Reviews: giredestrant in early-stage breast cancer, Enspryng in thyroid eye disease, Tecentriq in colon cancer and Gazyva/Gazyvaro in two autoimmune kidney diseases. In Diagnostics, we reached major milestones with the launch of our transformative, highly cost-effective Axelios 1 sequencing solution, alongside EU CE mark for key diagnostic tests, including the Elecsys pTau217 blood test for Alzheimer’s pathology and the Elecsys IGRA TB blood test, which delivers automated, scalable latent tuberculosis screening to laboratories worldwide. ezstandalone.cmd.push(function () { ezstandalone.showAds(131); }); Backed by our robust pipeline, we are well-positioned for sustained future growth. We confirm our outlook.” Group results In the first six months of 2026, Roche sales were +6% at CER, -2% when reported in CHF, to CHF 30.4 billion due to strong demand for pharmaceutical products and diagnostic solutions. The appreciation of the Swiss franc against most currencies, notably the US dollar, had a significant impact on the results reported in Swiss francs compared to constant exchange rates. Core operating profit was +10% at CER (-1% in CHF) to CHF 11.9 billion, driven by higher sales and other revenue. Core earnings per share were +9% at CER (-2% in CHF). IFRS operating profit was -6% in CHF to CHF 9.7 billion. IFRS diluted earnings per share were -8% in CHF. The IFRS results were impacted by the appreciation of the Swiss franc. Sales in the Pharmaceuticals Division were +6% at CER, -1% when reported in CHF, to CHF 23.6 billion, with our medicines across disease areas continuing their strong growth. The top five growth drivers – Xolair, Hemlibra, Ocrevus, Phesgo and Vabysmo – achieved total sales of CHF 11.0 billion, an increase of 12% at CER, or 4% in CHF, compared to the first six months of 2025. Sales of products with expired patents (Avastin, Herceptin, MabThera/Rituxan, Lucentis and Actemra/RoActemra) were CHF 2.6 billion, a decrease of 8% at CER, or 15% in CHF, compared to the first six months of 2025. In the United States , sales were +6% at CER, -3% when reported in CHF, due to continued growth of Xolair, Hemlibra, Polivy (blood cancer) and Tecentriq. This growth more than compensated for the lower sales of Perjeta (breast cancer) and Kadcyla (breast cancer) as well as the impact of biosimilar erosion on Actemra/RoActemra (rheumatoid arthritis). Sales in Europe were +1% at CER, or -1% when reported in CHF, as demand for Ocrevus, Evrysdi (spinal muscular atrophy) and Phesgo more than offset the impact of lower sales of Actemra/RoActemra due to biosimilar competition and Perjeta because of the conversion of patients to Phesgo. In Japan , sales were +11% at CER, -5% when reported in CHF, mainly due to product supply to third parties, as well as the uptake of Elevidys (Duchenne muscular dystrophy) and continued growth of Lunsumio (blood cancer), Vabysmo and Hemlibra. Sales in the International region were +10% at CER, or +4% when reported in CHF, led by Phesgo, Vabysmo, Hemlibra, Ocrevus and Polivy. In China, sales were -9% at CER, or -12% when reported in CHF, due to the base effect of a severe flu season in 2025 on Xofluza sales. The Diagnostics Division’s sales were +3% at CER, -3% when reported in CHF, to CHF 6.7 billion, driven by growth in demand for immunodiagnostic and clinical chemistry products as well as pathology and molecular solutions. This growth more than offset the impact of healthcare pricing reforms in China. Sales in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region were +3% at CER, -1% when reported in CHF, driven by higher sales of immunodiagnostic products, the clinical chemistry portfolio and molecular solutions. In North America , sales were +8% at CER, -1% when reported in CHF, due to growth across the Core Lab and Pathology Lab customer areas. Sales in Asia-Pacific were -5% at CER, or -12% when reported in CHF, mainly due to the healthcare pricing reforms in China, partially offset by growth in demand for clinical chemistry and immunodiagnostic products across the rest of the region. In Latin America , sales were +10% at CER, or +5% when reported in CHF. Pharmaceuticals: key developments Compound Milestone Regulatory Gazyva/Gazyvaro Several autoimmune diseases FDA grants Priority Review for Roche’s Gazyva/Gazyvaro for adults with primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) The Priority Review decision is based on results from the phase III MAJESTY study, where Gazyva/Gazyvaro achieved significantly higher complete remission rates at two years compared to tacrolimus. If approved, Gazyva/Gazyvaro will be the first FDA-approved therapy for pMN, following global approvals in lupus nephritis and ongoing regulatory filings in systemic lupus erythematosus and idiopathic nephrotic syndrome. pMN is a chronic autoimmune disease with no FDA- or EMA-approved therapies to date; when left untreated, up to 30% of patients progress to kidney failure over a period of 10 years. More information: Media Release , 15 July 2026 Enspryng Thyroid eye disease FDA grants Priority Review for Enspryng, the first and only at-home subcutaneous treatment option for thyroid eye disease (TED) The filing application is based on improvements seen across key efficacy endpoints from the global phase III SatraGO-1 and SatraGO-2 studies, including proptosis (bulging eyes) and diplopia (double vision) in active TED. Enspryng has the potential to become the first at-home subcutaneous disease-modifying standard of care for TED. TED is an autoimmune disease affecting approximately 155 out of every 100,000 people that can lead to facial disfigurement and vision-threatening complications if left untreated.
