The Month Ahead
4 June 2018

Sage Therapeutics - SAGE217 PhIII Guidance - End of June
: Mgt. has indicated
that it would be able to provide guidance to investors on its PhIII program for
SAGE217 in MDD by the end of 2Q.
Expectation
: Mgt. has indicated that data
from the PhII program is sufficent to design the PhIII program. While mgt. has not
given specific guidance on a study design, mgt. has indicated that the program is
intended to demonstrate how a disease that is currently treated chronically can
be treated acutely. The design of the brexanolone IV study for Postpartum
Depression could be a good model. Further,
an open-label retreatment study
may be necessary to confirm the safety of the treatment regimen.
Stock Impact
:
With a clean study design we would expect to see SAGE up 0-5%. If there is a
material delay or other issue, we would expect SAGE down 10%+.

SAGE: Our $225 PT is derived from a DCF that uses a 10% discount rate and a 1.0%
terminal growth rate beyond 2030E to value Sage's other neurology programs. We
assume brexanolone is launched in 2019 for PPD. SAGE-217 provides bulk of valuation,
with launches for MDD and bipoloar in 2021 and for insomnia in 2022. Risks to our price
target include failure of brexanolone or SAGE-217 to receive regulatory approval, limited
uptake of SAGE-217 due to generic competition and unexpected safety risks for SAGE-
217
