With 7 PD-(L)1s on the mar­ket, price com­pe­ti­tion has­n't been a fac­tor. Will Re­gen­eron be the first to ask for less?

In what seems like a coun­ter­in­tu­itive strat­e­gy, sev­en drugs have piled in the an­ti-PD-(L)1 mar­ket so far, all at rough­ly the same list price. With no price com­pe­ti­tion to speak of, how do al­so-rans like Re­gen­eron and Sanofi’s Lib­tayo dif­fer­en­ti­ate them­selves? Maybe try dis­count­ing, a top an­a­lyst mus­es.

In an open let­ter to Re­gen­eron CEO Len Schleifer, Bern­stein an­a­lyst Ron­ny Gal asked the New York drug­mak­er to be the first to dis­count its part­nered Lib­tayo as more com­peti­tors pile in­to the field with no mean­ing­ful price com­pe­ti­tion.
