I spoke with IDEC's Investor Relations and they said they will have earnings out on Monday. They thought the reaction in the stock price yesterday was due to misinterpretation of the monthly sales numbers. The US sales numbers were 13.2M (Jan), 11.1M (Feb) and 10.9M (Mar). This does not add up to the 37.7M in sales that Genetech reported. The misinterpretation comes from 13.4M sales in March that Genetech would indicate. However this number represents sales other than US and some inventory build up for anticipated European approval. It is believed that some thought the 13.4M of sales was all US and it is actually 10.9M. Jan sales numbers are believed to show the pent up demand on initial launch. Sales are going well and they are pursuing to open up more market. Product has been an easy sale so far. In May they will present two abstracts at the ASCO Conference. One will be on Rituxan and Interferon, and the other will be a podium presentation on Rituxan and CHOP.
