Clinical Profile

Ada Surface Ability: 9/10

Exceptionally strong because postmenopausal bleeding is highly specific and easily captured. Clear decision tree: abnormal bleeding → gynecology referral. Risk factors (obesity, age, diabetes) easily assessed. Minor limitation: Cannot identify dMMR biomarker status.

Company Motivation: 9/10

Very high. Oncology is GSK's fastest-growing segment (+43% in 2025). Jemperli facing intense Keytruda competition. Early patient identification critical to capture market share. Strong investment appetite in Specialty Medicines. Label expansion (Aug 2024) creates immediate need for patient flow.

Pitch Hook

One-liner: "20% of endometrial cancer patients face diagnostic delays >28 days—can we help GSK find them earlier for Jemperli?"

GSK's Jemperli just achieved first-line status for advanced endometrial cancer across all MMR subtypes, but research shows 20% of patients face diagnostic delays exceeding 28 days from initial presentation. With 69,000 new US cases annually and postmenopausal bleeding as a clear, Ada-surfaceable symptom, Patient Finder could identify 2,500+ undiagnosed advanced-stage candidates yearly. At a 5% finding rate, that's $1.5M in annual revenue to Ada while helping GSK compete against Keytruda's market dominance.

Key Considerations

Clinical Profile

Ada Surface Ability: 7/10

Good because Ada can assess asthma symptoms, control level (ACT score proxy), and exacerbation patterns to prompt specialist referral. Limitations: Cannot measure eosinophil levels (blood test required), need medication history to distinguish severity from poor adherence.

Company Motivation: 8/10

High. Respiratory franchise growing (+18%). Dupixent competitive threat creates urgency. Large addressable undiagnosed population (134K USA). Cost-effective patient finding could defend market share. Strong margins on established product.

Pitch Hook

One-liner: "134,000 Americans have undiagnosed severe eosinophilic asthma—can we help GSK find them before Dupixent does?"

Severe asthma patients wait 5-7 years for proper diagnosis, with 30% of the 1.4 million US severe eosinophilic asthma patients going undiagnosed—many trapped in cycles of ED visits and poor control. Ada can identify poorly controlled asthma patterns and prompt specialist referrals for eosinophil testing. With Dupixent projected to become market leader and 134,000 addressable undiagnosed patients, Patient Finder could capture 1-5% finding rates worth $3-16M annually to Ada.

Key Considerations

LARGEST OPPORTUNITY BY VOLUME: 2.65 million addressable undiagnosed patients in USA due to extreme underdiagnosis (72%). $42.4M annual revenue at 5% finding rate.

Clinical Profile

Ada Surface Ability: 8/10

Strong. Classic symptom triad (chronic cough, dyspnea, smoking history) easily captured. Risk factors highly predictive. Diagnostic delay driven by awareness/access gaps, NOT symptom ambiguity. Ada can prompt spirometry referral with high PPV.

Company Motivation: 5/10

Moderate-Low. Mature product entering patent expiry (2027 USA). Medicare negotiation reduces US revenue 73% in government segment post-2027. General Medicines category in "decline to stable" outlook. HOWEVER: Massive undiagnosed population creates volume opportunity. International markets remain attractive (no Medicare negotiation).

Pitch Hook

One-liner: "72% of COPD patients go undiagnosed—2.65 million Americans—but time is running out before Trelegy's patent expires in 2027."

COPD is the most underdiagnosed respiratory disease in America: 26 million patients have spirometry-confirmed COPD but only 10 million know it, with diagnostic delays averaging 5-10 years. Ada can identify chronic cough, dyspnea, and smoking history patterns to trigger spirometry referrals, potentially surfacing 2.65 million Trelegy-eligible patients. Even at Medicare's reduced $2,100/patient pricing, a 1% finding rate yields $8.5M annually to Ada. Your patent expires in 2027 and Medicare negotiations kick in, so the window to maximize Trelegy's revenue is NOW.

Key Considerations

TIMING CRITICAL: US patent expires 2027. Medicare negotiation (73% price cut) begins 2027. Window to maximize value: 2026-2027. Prioritize DACH and ROW markets for longer-term opportunity.
MODEL MISMATCH: Blenrep treats relapsed/refractory MM (2+ prior lines), NOT newly diagnosed. Patient Finder identifies undiagnosed patients who would be treatment-naive. Reposition as "MM patient finding for GSK ecosystem" with multi-year value delay.

Indication

Multiple myeloma (relapsed/refractory after 2+ prior therapies), combination with bortezomib-dexamethasone or pomalidomide-dexamethasone

Clinical Profile

Ada Surface Ability: 5/10

Moderate-Weak. MM symptoms are non-specific (bone pain, fatigue). Low PPV from symptoms alone. Diagnosis is lab-driven (SPEP, bone marrow biopsy), not symptom-driven. Ada can flag suspicious patterns, but most bone pain is NOT myeloma.

Company Motivation: 6/10

Moderate. Oncology is strategic priority, but Blenrep is early-stage relaunch (£17M in 2025) after previous withdrawal. Competitive pressure intense (CAR-T therapies, Darzalex dominance). Patient selection critical. Late-line indication misaligns with Patient Finder model.

Pitch Hook

One-liner: "Multiple myeloma patients wait 6-11 months for diagnosis—can we find them early and build GSK's MM patient pipeline?"

While Blenrep treats late-line relapsed/refractory MM, Ada Patient Finder could identify the 6,000 undiagnosed US MM patients annually through symptom patterns (bone pain + anemia + recurrent infections + age >65). These patients would enter GSK's MM treatment ecosystem, eventually progressing to Blenrep after 2+ prior lines. This isn't just about Blenrep's £17M current revenue—it's about establishing GSK as a partner in MM patient identification for your entire oncology portfolio.

Clinical Profile

Ada Surface Ability: 6/10

Moderate. Classic symptom constellation (malar rash + joint pain + fatigue + photosensitivity) has good PPV for rheumatology referral. Can assess multi-system involvement. Limitations: Many symptoms non-specific; malar rash only in ~50%; requires lab confirmation; waxing/waning course complicates assessment.

Company Motivation: 7/10

Moderate-High. Specialty Medicines growing (+18%). Established product with good margins. Saphnelo competitive threat creates some urgency. Patient identification could defend market position. Concerns: Mature product (not growth priority), patent expiry approaching, small patient population vs. other opportunities.

Pitch Hook

One-liner: "Lupus patients wait 4-6 years for diagnosis while suffering multi-system symptoms—can we help GSK find them faster for Benlysta?"

Systemic lupus erythematosus is notoriously difficult to diagnose, with patients enduring 4-6 years of debilitating fatigue, joint pain, and organ damage before rheumatologists confirm the disease. Ada can identify the classic constellation—malar rash, arthritis, photosensitivity, and multi-system symptoms—to trigger ANA testing and specialist referrals, potentially surfacing 16,500 undiagnosed Benlysta-eligible patients in the US. With Saphnelo threatening your biologic market leadership and an estimated 15-25% of lupus cases going undiagnosed, Patient Finder could defend Benlysta's position at a 1-5% finding rate worth $0.5-2.5M annually.

Key Considerations

LIMITED OPPORTUNITY: Maintenance therapy indication creates model mismatch. Patients must complete surgery + chemo before Zejula-eligible (6-12 month delay). Lynparza dominance (86% PARP market share) reduces GSK motivation. Harvest/divest mode likely.

Indication

Maintenance therapy for adult patients with recurrent ovarian cancer who are in complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy

Clinical Profile

Ada Surface Ability: 6/10

Moderate. Classic symptom quartet (bloating, pelvic pain, eating difficulty, urinary symptoms) identifiable. Can prompt pelvic imaging and CA-125 testing. Limitations: Symptoms non-specific, low prevalence (limited PPV), short diagnostic window, requires imaging/labs for confirmation.

Company Motivation: 3/10

LOW. Mature, declining asset dominated by Lynparza (86% market share). NOT mentioned in GSK earnings as priority. Harvest/divest mode likely. Oncology focus on Jemperli and Blenrep, not Zejula. Limited growth expectations.

Pitch Hook (Lukewarm)

Ovarian cancer patients often suffer weeks of bloating and pelvic pain before diagnosis, with symptoms misattributed to IBS or menopause. However, Zejula's maintenance therapy indication creates a model mismatch: Patient Finder identifies undiagnosed patients, but Zejula is for diagnosed patients post-surgery and chemo. With a 6-12 month treatment sequence before Zejula eligibility, plus Lynparza's 86% PARP market dominance, the opportunity is limited at ~$500K annually to Ada (5% finding rate, all markets). This is a Tier 3 opportunity—pursue only if GSK proactively seeks ovarian cancer patient finding to support their broader oncology ecosystem.

Key Considerations

Why NOT Suitable for Patient Finder

1. Low Underdiagnosis in Developed Markets

2. Different Patient Finding Model

3. GSK Strategic Context

4. Economics

CONCLUSION: HIV drugs are NOT suitable for Ada Patient Finder due to low underdiagnosis in developed markets, different testing model requirements (not symptom-based), and robust existing screening infrastructure.

Why NOT Suitable for Patient Finder

1. Prevention, Not Treatment

2. Eligibility-Based, Not Symptom-Based

3. Different Outreach Model

4. GSK Context

CONCLUSION: Vaccines are NOT suitable for Ada Patient Finder because they prevent disease in healthy populations (eligibility-based), not diagnose sick patients (symptom-based). Completely different model.
