Re: HBV market size

>The script %’s and numbers indicate that the total HBV treated population in the US is about 8000? …that means the entire market size is just about 250m or so assuming 30k annual costs. Is this the right way to read this?<

There are about 45K HBV patients in the US being treated, according to GILD.

Script data are not a good source for estimating the number of patients on treatment because there is no reliable way to convert from scripts to patients. Regards, Dew
