- Johnson & Johnson's (JNJ +2%) hepatitis C drug Olysio (simeprevir) blew out Q1 expectations with its $354M in sales. Wells Fargo analyst Lawrence Biegelsen forecasted only $23M.
- Some observers believe that many physicians are prescribing the drug in combination with Gilead's (GILD +2.3%) Sovaldi (sofosbuvir) thereby inflating the full regimen cost to ~$150,000 in the U.S.
- A 12-week course of treatment of Olysio costs $66,360.
