Ariad Pharmaceuticals (ARIA) reported $8 million net sales of the leukemia drug Iclusig in the first quarter. well short of the $10 million consensus estimate. If you want to be generous, give Ariad credit for the $1.3 million in deferred Iclusig revenue tied to inventory. Sales still came up short. This is the first full quarter of Iclusig sales since Ariad re-launched the drug following last year’s epic toxicity-driven implosion. Investor expectations were probably on the low end. Still, I fail to see any reason to believe Iclusig makes a full recovery. Doctors have relegated Iclusig to third and fourth-line therapy in CML patients, with a smattering of second-line thrown in. Even expansion into other cancer indications like GIST (where competition also exists( won’t make up for the shortfall.
