Greetings. Welcome to the Menlo Therapeutics First Quarter 2020 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] Please note this conference is being recorded. I will now turn the conference over to your host, Michael Wood at LifeSci Advisors. You may begin.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. Before we begin the formal remarks this morning, let me remind you that some of the information in the news release and on this conference call contain forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words that express and reflect optimism, satisfaction with current progress, prospects or projections as well as words such as believe, intend, expect, plan, anticipate and similar variations identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of performance, and the company’s actual results could differ materially from those contained in such statements. Several factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are described in detail in Menlo Therapeutics’ filings with the SEC. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of today’s press release and conference call, and the company takes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements or supply new information regarding the circumstances after the date of this call. So at this time, I’d like to turn the call over to Dave Domzalski, Chief Executive Officer of Menlo Therapeutics. Dave, please go ahead.

Thank you, Michael, and good morning to everyone. Joining me on the call is Matt Wiley, our Chief Commercial Officer; and Andrew Saik, our recently appointed Chief Financial Officer, who will take you through our financials. We’re very pleased to have Andrew on the team as this is his first quarterly call with us. I want to welcome him. So today, I will provide you with a brief update on both our commercial business as well as our pipeline. And then we’ll turn the call over to Matt and Andrew to provide more details. As you know, we launched our first product, AMZEEQ, in January. We have a PDUFA date coming up on June 2 for our second product, FMX103. And assuming it’s approved, that will put us on track to launch our second product later this year. And our Phase II study in acne for FCD105 is slated for a readout in the coming weeks as well. To begin, in early March, we successfully closed the merger, in which Foamix became a wholly owned subsidiary of Menlo Therapeutics. While we were disappointed with the outcome of the serlopitant Phase III results that were subsequently announced, the transaction has been structured to provide a certain amount of protection to Foamix shareholders in the event of this outcome. The issuance of the contingent stock rights resulted in 82% ownership in the combined entity for Foamix shareholders, providing an adjusted ownership split for both legacy Menlo and Foamix holders. The transaction also resulted in a higher cash balance for the combined company. Additionally, as a result of the merger, we are now also a U.S. domiciled publicly traded company. The launch of AMZEEQ, our topical minocycline foam product into the U.S. market as a treatment for moderate-to-severe acne marked the transition of…

Thanks, Dave. The early launch of AMZEEQ is very promising. The initial uptake and feedback from physicians exceeded our expectations, and we remain optimistic about how AMZEEQ will be used to treat patients with moderate-to-severe acne. The launch has obviously been interrupted by COVID-19, and we saw a pullback in prescriptions as dermatology offices closed due to government restrictions. Our field force, however, has stayed engaged and continued to make sales calls virtually. While the volume of calls per day has been reduced in the virtual environment, in many cases, the duration of and quality of those calls has improved. We have found in the virtual environment, many of our physician customers now have more time to learn about AMZEEQ and its differentiated attributes. We believe this should help increase the level of awareness of AMZEEQ and ultimately, trial for the brand. Despite the various government restrictions due to COVID-19, the number of unique prescribers continue to grow week over week, even during the period of shutdown. There have been over 3,200 unique prescribers of AMZEEQ since launch, with over 500 of them coming since the week ending March 13, which was the last week of non-impacted sales. We’ve been able to reach over 90% of our targets since launch. We are also seeing productivity of our targets growing, averaging eight prescriptions per target and over 10 from our most important customers, whom we refer to as our platinum targets. In February, we hosted a national satellite broadcast event, with two of the most prominent key opinion leaders in the field of acne, Dr. Jim Del Rosso and Linda Stein Gold. This single event drew over 350 attendees at 38 live venues. We have also hosted over 30 live and virtual speaker programs that have reached a total of 250…

Yes. Thank you, Matt. Before I start with a review of the numbers, I want to remind everyone this is the first time that we have reported as the new Menlo Therapeutics, post the merger between Menlo and Foamix. The deal structure had Menlo as the legal acquirer, but Foamix was the accounting acquirer. So all historic numbers contained in our 10-Q are Foamix through the merger date and then combined financials thereafter. Revenues totaled $1.8 million for the first quarter of 2020 compared with $0.3 million in the comparable period for 2019. Revenues in Q1 2020 were generated from product sales of AMZEEQ, which we launched in January of 2020. For the first quarter of 2019, revenues consisted solely of royalties from our out-licensed product Finacea Foam. The decrease in royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2020 as compared to royalty revenues for the first quarter of 2019 was due to a stock out of Finacea, which resulted in no royalties this quarter. In April 2020, however, LEO informed us that they had remedied their supply chain issues related to Finacea Foam and has resumed commercial activities for Finacea Foam in the U.S. Cost of goods sold were $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2020. Our gross margin percentage of 85% was favorably impacted during the quarter by product sales with certain materials produced prior to FDA approval and therefore, expensed in prior periods. If inventory sold during the first quarter 2020 was valued at cost, then our gross margin for the period would have been 79%. There was no cost of goods sold in the three months ended March 31, 2019, because our revenues in that period consisted solely of royalties. Our R&D expenses for the first quarter of 2020 were $16 million compared to $10.8…

Thanks, Andrew. Before I close, on behalf of my fellow colleagues and Board members, our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the families who have lost loved ones from the COVID-19 coronavirus. And our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery go to those who are currently fighting this illness. And certainly, our gratitude is sent to the countless healthcare workers and first responders who work tirelessly on the front lines during these times. In closing, we continue to be resolute in our vision to create a scaled business in therapeutic dermatology through the development and launch of innovative products to address unmet needs of patients. We believe our initial strong launch efforts for AMZEEQ reflect the strength of the product and our commercial strategy, which we intend to replicate with the launch of FMX103 in rosacea when approved. As always, we plan to deliver on these goals while ultimately building long-term value for our shareholders. That concludes our prepared remarks. We are ready now to open up the call to Q&A. So, I’ll turn it back to the operator.

[Operator Instructions] Our first question is from Louise Chen from Cantor Fitzgerald. Please proceed with your question.

Hi. Thanks for taking my questions. So, my first question is if you could provide more color on the stabilization and pickup of the AMZEEQ Rxs that you’re seeing. How many weeks has this been? And in addition to the reopening of offices, what else is driving this? And then secondly, you talked about this cost-saving initiative. I was wondering if you could give us more color on SG&A and R&D expenses into the second quarter relative to the first quarter given your comments here. And then on the margin side, is 79% what we should be using in the second quarter for sales? And then last question I have for you is on FMX103, you’re ahead of a launch here. What is your go-to-market strategy? And where would this product fit into the treatment armamentarium for patients and physicians? Thank you.

Absolutely, so, we’ve got a couple of questions there from me. So I’ll turn the first one over to Matt to provide some more color on the stabilization and pick up for AMZEEQ. So Matt, do you want to take that?

Sure. Thanks, Dave. Thanks, Louise for the question. So, what we’ve observed in probably the last five or six data points has been a bottom or kind of a formation of the bottom of our TRxs. And so the last data we have, which is from a week ago, we see that there’s been a slight uptick in TRxs. And I think that’s due to the fact we had a handful of reps out making live calls about two weeks ago. We had a much larger number last week. And we anticipate actually that the majority of our sales representatives are going to have some live call activity this week. So I think that kind of speaks to the stabilization initially due to the virtual efforts that we undertook. And then the additional growth that we’ve seen, at least, in the last one data point that we have has been due to some of that live activity and probably more physicians seeing patients in their practices.

Yes. Thanks, Matt. So Louise, I’ll – this is Andrew, and I’ll take the next two questions. With regard to your cost savings, we’re not going to provide specific guidance on this call. But I think relative to Q2, what you’re going to see is a gradual decrease in our expenses relative to Q1. We had – in Q1, as you know, we had a launch of AMZEEQ, and we had two clinical trials wrapping up, one on serlopitant and then obviously 103. I think that you’re going to see a gradual decrease of expenses that should kind of stabilize into a new norm but later in the year, call it, by Q4. With regard to gross margin, gross margin is going to be a little bit variable in the near term. I think Matt has talked previously about the use of the trial card that we’re using in launch as we bring various medical groups up on formulary. That should stabilize. I think Dave has guided at a 90% gross margin going forward. I think that we’ll slowly see us getting closer to that number as we move into the year.

Yes. I will offer some initial thoughts on the go-to-market strategy and then turn it over to Matt. But just to echo his thoughts on the stabilization and pickup for AMZEEQ, again, I’m very pleased with the work that our team has done under very challenging environments. The virtual efforts that the team has deployed, as Matt outlined, certainly it seems to stress that we’ve stabilized the business. The – we’ve seen increases in time with physicians, quality of the calls with health care providers. I think all that bodes well for us as offices continue to open up. So again, very pleased with the work that the team has done under very challenging environments. For FMX103, as we said, we always view that the rosacea marketplace is an untapped marketplace for an opportunity for a product such as FMX103. Though it’s a smaller marketplace than the acne arena, there is less competition, fewer products that are in development in the category. And when we take a look at the data from FMX103 on our clinical trials, not only do we have very strong efficacy results in our primary endpoints and the reduction of lesion counts, but we also saw that had a very meaningful impact on sector end points such as improvement in erythema, which Louise, as you know, there are products in the marketplace, specifically indicated just for that. So, we believe the product has lots of optionality, lots of potential in the category. We know from our discussions with health care providers that they are eager for a new product to address patients’ unmet needs for this condition. I think we’ll deploy a lot of the same focused efforts that we have done with AMZEEQ. And so I’ll turn it over to Matt to provide some additional color on our go-to-market strategy. Matt?

Sure. Thanks, Dave. And so Louise, see, a couple of things to note here. One is that what we found in primary market research is that better than 70% of the current rosacea patients are dissatisfied with their current treatment. In other words, they are likely or extremely likely to choose another therapy if something new were to come to market. And we’ve seen this also in retrospective claims analysis as well, where we see that roughly 70% would either discontinue or switch medications after their first diagnosis and therapeutic option. So this, coupled with what we see from physician behavior and how they’ve responded in market research, where there is a high preference share for the product profile of FMX103, really gives us an opportunity to position around this unmet need. So, as we think of the go-to-market strategy, it’s really predicated on unique positioning, not dissimilar to what we did with AMZEEQ, focusing more so on the unmet need and the clinical profile of FMX103. We have an ambition to accelerate our support and market access environment to ensure that we do have broad access for the product. And then there are a couple of unique discoveries that we’ve made in the market itself that we plan on using as part of our platform. I’m not going to disclose those here for competitive reasons, but we think they offer us significant opportunities, especially as a smaller company to compete with larger competitors, and we’re going to use that leverage to our advantage.

Okay, great. Thank you.

And our next question is from David Amsellem from Piper Sandler. Please proceed with your question.

Hi, everyone. This is Zach on for David. Thank you for taking our question. This is a bit of a longer-term question, but we were hoping to get a better sense of how the recent transition to telemedicine and other digital initiatives might permanently impact the promotional landscape in the broader derm space? And what that might mean longer term for AMZEEQ in both acne and rosacea? And I do have a follow-up after that. Thank you.

Good. So, we’re seeing an increase in telemedicine. And we believe that acne and potentially rosacea are disease state that could be – could benefit from the advance in telemedicine. We would expect that as physicians become more comfortable with the platform, we will see an increase in diagnosis. Of course, where we focus our efforts is predicated on patient concentration. So regardless of whether physicians are using a telemedicine platform or seeing patients live in their office, we’re building our targeting approach around that patient volume. So, we will continue to educate our physicians, either in a virtual environment during the COVID-19 situation or live as we have historically, with those physicians who are using either a live or telemedicine platform. That’s pretty much it. Yes.

Okay, great. Thanks. And then one quick question regarding AMZEEQ. Given the macroeconomic landscape and less disposable income in general, could you maybe speak quickly to the extent to which you will provide greater patient out-of-pocket support over the long term? Thank you.

Sure. I mean right now, we do have a co-pay relief program in place, and we are capping a benefit of $40, but basically buying the prescription down to $35 as part of that co-pay release. We also have a denial conversion program in place, but that typically goes away after you’ve secured broad access. That’s always been our ambition to have broaden up access where the patient out-of-pocket exposure is relatively light. We always have flexibility in the future to make changes to those programs as we need to. But we feel like we’ve got a pretty good program right now in place to capture the majority of the patients and minimize the out-of-pocket burden.

Great, thanks. That’s helpful.

And our next question is from Stacy Ku from Cowen and Company. Please proceed with your question.

Good morning. Thanks for taking my questions. And I’d like to expand my welcome to Andrew. First, just a question on managed – the remaining managed care contracts for AMZEEQ. What’s the expected cadence for additional contracting for the remainder of the year? And would you guys be willing to provide some guidance where you think the net pricing of AMZEEQ might settle either this year or long term? And I have a follow-up.

Sure. I will provide some initial thoughts on managed care, and I’ll turn it back to Matt, and then Andrew can provide some thoughts on net pricing. But as I alluded to, we’re quite pleased with our contacts and our exchanges with the payers. I think it goes to the heart of our pricing and reimbursement strategy, which was to ensure patients and health care providers can get access to our product. That’s obviously our most important objective, but to do so also in a responsible manner. We’ve taken the approach to partner with payers in the managed care arena since the very beginning, actually 18 months plus before we even launched the drug. So, I believe it continues to pay off well for us. As you know, we – within the first two weeks of launch, we had under contract one of the largest PBMs, Express Scripts, in which AMZEEQ was added to their national formulary and a Tier 2 preferred status. That was unexpected for us, and we were pleased with that. As we alluded to in our call so far today, we’ve been removed from the exclusion list from another one of the largest PBMs. Our discussions in terms of contracts are fluid. We hope to have additional announcements in the coming weeks. Our objective has been to have the majority of the major payers under contract as we go into the third quarter. We continue to be on target for that. And we’ve found also that additional payers that were not in our modeling in some of the regions, say, out in the West Coast, have come to the table to negotiate contracts with us. I think, again, that goes to the benefits of the product itself. The view from the payers has consistently been that AMZEEQ provides unique benefits to payers or to patients. So it’s not viewed as a – just a new dosage form. We continue to have a product go through full P&T review. And so I think the clinical merits of the product, coupled with our pricing strategy, continues to be supportive, and we continue to see that. I’ll turn it over to Matt to have any additional thoughts on the cadence of our efforts and then Andrew can talk about net pricing.

Sure. Thanks, Dave. Yes. And I think Dave has pretty much summed up there. What I’ll say is that conversations with the payers have been good. It’s consistent with the market research that we’ve shared on previous calls and in previous venues. And we feel optimistic about being able to secure that broad access that has been our ambition since the start.

Yes. Thanks, Matt. Yes. And Stacy, thank you for the question and the welcome. Really happy to be here. With regard to net price on AMZEEQ, we’ve taken a decision to wait a bit and see how the market develops. What I can tell you is we’re really happy with our contracting. We think that, that’s going extremely well. And as Matt alluded to, we expect to have full coverage. We do not view this product is something that we need to give away, right? We think that there’s a huge value-add with the product. So, we’re taking a position where we’re negotiating prices that we think are very fair to both us and to the derm offices. And we’ll be able to give you more guidance later in the year as things develop with the product.

Yes. And I’ll just add before, Stacy, if you have any additional questions. Yes, as we are in discussions with the payers for AMZEEQ, we’ve obviously let the payers know that we hope to have another product FMX103, and that will come back to them on. So since it’s the same product, but a different concentration and a different indication. Since we’re going through the efforts now of getting under contract for AMZEEQ, we hope that this should facilitate a quicker process in having FMX103, assuming approved, added to the formularies for these various plans.

That’s great. Yes, you kind of answered my second question. I guess just specifically, maybe your initial launch strategy for 103 in Q4. Is it going to be a little bit more targeted just given the current situation? Or any details would be appreciated.

Go ahead, Matt.

Yes. I mean so the way that we think about targeting is, again, we look at the rosacea patient concentrations in physicians. We look at predilection for brand versus generic. And we then rank those docs from top to bottom. So we can have a fairly targeted approach to this patient diagnosis in a way where we should see good productivity. And we’re seeing that already with AMZEEQ. Our targeting model is predicated on the same philosophy. And we’re seeing that as we are working through our targeting with our platinum targets, which are our highest decile positions are much more productive than our mid-tier, which are our goal targets. And then, of course, non-target for those that may be in an office where we have targets and they hear detail on AMZEEQ, they then also prescribed, obviously, not with the same productivity. So, we’re applying the same philosophy to FMX103, and we believe that, that gives us a very focused and efficient way of entering a market.

That’s great. Thanks. And congratulations again on the progress.

Thanks, Stacy.

And our next question is from Jason Gerberry from Bank of America. Please proceed with your question.

Hi, good morning. This is Chi for Jason. Thanks for taking my questions. Just a couple on the FCD105. Given near-term readout expectation, curious, what’s your expectation on the Phase II data, I guess, if it pertains to the safety and efficacy profile compared to AMZEEQ? And I guess the second question would be, just talk about how you’re thinking about your cost structure, reducing R&D activities. Just curious, does that in any way impact the development on 105 if the Phase II data supported? Thank you.

Thanks, Chi. So FCD105; it’s our first combination product. I think an important point to offer. As you know, developing a topical minocycline was a challenging exercise. We’re proud of being the first company ever to develop a topical second-generation tetracycline product, minocycline and doxycycline. No one has ever been able to do this before until we did it with AMZEEQ. This is on stable molecule minocycline. So we were thrilled to be able to do that with minocycline. Equally as important is it was also quite a challenge to develop a combination product with minocycline. And it took quite a bit of time, and it’s a credit to the development team that we have in the organization. So it’s really taking what we believe is a gold standard in the treatment of inflammatory acne minocycline with a gold standard for treating comedonal acne, which is adapalene. So we have a stable product, cosmetically appealing that now is underway in a Phase II study. It’s a fairly substantial Phase II study. Its 400 patients split across four arms, 25 patients in the combination arm of 3% minocycline and 0.2% adapalene. 100 patients in each of the known add arms, 75 patients in the vehicle. We’ll obviously be looking at efficacy as well as safety. The bar, obviously, for this Phase II is versus vehicle, but we want to measure it against each of the individual constituents depending on what a Phase II program would have to look like. So in terms of comparing it to AMZEEQ, I would not comment, Chi, on expectations until we actually see the data. Obviously, we have expectations, a meaningful expectation for this product. And I’ve said on record that if approved, the market, it could be the biggest product that we would have for…

No. I think you covered it, Dave. I don’t have anything to add on that.

Maybe just a quick follow-up on the OpEx for 1Q. How much of that total is one-time on recurring cost post the merger? I think you gave some color to that, but if you can provide that, again, that would be great? Thanks.

Yes. Sure, Chi. So there was $11.7 million in onetime expenses. They broke down. There were $3.8 million, mainly severance, actually all severance in research and development. And then $7.9 million in SG&A, and that broke down to $4.37 million and $3.6 million other. In addition, Chi, there were about $9 million of expenses that were recorded on the Menlo side in the period between January 1st and the merger date. Those don’t show up, obviously, on the financials, but they would show up in cash. And then some of them would show up in accrued liabilities on the balance sheet, right, if the sums weren’t paid. So total amount was $21 million for the quarter, but only $11.7 million ran through our P&L.

Got it. Thank you.

Sure.

Our next question is from Patrick Dolezal from LifeSci Capital. Please proceed with your question.

Hi, everyone this is Valentyna on for Patrick. Thanks for taking our question. Just a couple more on FCD105. Given the positive readout, what might the pivotal program look like for FCD105, just in terms of patient numbers and the primary end points? And what do you anticipate the time frame being for the duration as well the associated costs? And maybe if you could give us more granularity on how you’re thinking about the commercial prospects for FCD105, specifically when considering the competing products within the acne space? Thank you.

Thanks, Valentyna. I’ll talk or share some thoughts on potential structure of a Phase III program, and I’ll turn it to Matt to talk more about the commercial opportunity around it. In short, the size of the Phase III study is going to depend on the results of the Phase II. So it’s tough for me to give you any concrete numbers around what that will look like. What we do envision now is that would be two Phase III studies, double-blind vehicle controls, similar to what we’ve done in past for our clinical programs with AMZEEQ as well as FMX103. Obviously, we have a lot of experience in knowing how to run clinical trials in the derm category, especially for trials such as these. So we would – it would be two Phase III studies plus a long-term safety extension, similar to what we have done also for FMX103 and AMZEEQ. We have the requisite human dermal safety studies, which we could run in parallel. So normally, yes, under a normal environment, again, assuming we’re not in a shutdown scenario as much of the country still is, we generally think somewhere in the range of 20 months or so all in from first patient enrolled until long-term safety completed, somewhere in that range. We would anticipate that would go through then a normal 18 to 20 months or so, then it would go through a normal filing. And again, likely a 10-month review on this. So that gives you a sense of the duration of a clinical program. Again, we would not envision kicking off the Phase III program by the end of this year, just based on timing. By the time, again, we get the readout of this Phase II space to get in front of the FDA for an end of Phase II meeting, start mapping out what a Phase III program will look like, et cetera. So I hope that helps. And then I’ll turn it to Matt for some thoughts on the opportunity of the brand itself or the product, so Matt?

Sure. So it’s still a bit early. We don’t have Phase II readouts. But this is obviously a very big market, and we believe that the combination of minocycline and adapalene creates a very novel product, one that would be desirous by the physicians. We will have established ourselves in the market by the time this would launch. We have a pretty good knowledge of where minocycline is being preferentially used in these patients as well as adapting, for that matter. And so we think that it’s a good market opportunity. It’s still premature on kind of defining the go-to-market strategy, not knowing the Phase II data, but we’re optimistic.

Great. That’s helpful. Thank you.

[Operator Instructions] Our next question is from Oren Livnat from H.C. Wainwright. Please proceed with your question.

Hey, thanks for taking my question. I have a couple. Just if you don’t mind, I understand you’re waiting until you have some more clarity on some of these contracts upcoming with managed care before you give us guidance on value per script. But for now, the math works out to like under $100 a script in IQVIA, at least? And so can you just help us understand what are the sort of bookends maybe around like the best case, worst case for potential normalized growth to net? And maybe also some color on what percentage of your current volume that we’re seeing come through, IQVIA is coming from free drug? I have a follow up.

Yes, Oren. So yes, as we’ve said in the past that the view from the payers is that their expectation is the net price planned to be somewhere between $200 and $400 a unit. That’s always been the assumption that we’ve operated within and that’s our goal. Ultimately, when all this shakes out to be somewhere in that range. At this stage, that’s where we’ll stay in terms of providing any color around this. Obviously, as you can appreciate, within the first couple of months of launch, while we’re engaged with payers to get under contract Our denial conversion program will take up a larger share of the volume than what ultimately will be the case once we’re under contract. Our objective has always been to partner with payers as opposed to going around payers. We know a lot of other companies use these coupon programs in perpetuity. That is not our intent. We believe, as Andrew outlined, we’re not going to give the product away. We believe we have an excellent product, and we believe we’ve got a very good pricing strategy and a good price point. Our objective is to get contracts wrapped up as we go into the third quarter with the major payers. And once that’s done, we’re going to shut off the denial conversion program. Understanding that there will be some patients that they may not get access to the product because it’s not covered under formulary, but our intent is to have the vast, vast majority of plans cover our product. So that will certainly improve the gross to net. That’s also why we’re not providing any guidance, as you can appreciate right now, because we’re still in this transition period. But coming back to your fundamental question of where we anticipate to land, that $200 to $400 range has always been our focus and what we intend to lock in on. So I’ll stop there and see if there’s any additional questions.

Yes. That’s helpful. Thanks. And I guess you did mention some states are opening up. You’ve got some reps in those offices. So presumably, they’re getting some feedback from those docs. And what are we seeing, if anything yet? I know it’s early on, actual acne patients coming back into the offices. I think last quarter; I asked you if you thought the back-to-school season could be hit, if that would hit you guys, and you said, not everybody is only getting their treatment because of back to school. So if that’s not the case, hopefully, we’re seeing some patients already coming into the office. Is that the case?

Yes. So the data that we would use to help determine that, we’re still not necessarily seeing that in the data. We saw the NRx for branded prescriptions. We saw the NRx volume decline by about 40% or so during the COVID-19 shutdown. We would anticipate that as physicians start to open their offices, they are going to start to see more acne patients. Now this is still in a magnitude of 50,000-plus NRxs per week. That’s just down from the mid-70,000 back before the COVID-19 shutdowns. So there are a lot of patients out there. The physicians who are opening up, I believe, that they have a backlog of patients that they’re working through. And so you’d expect that acne patients would be among those. Anecdotally, we are hearing that patients are coming back across the spectrum. One of the things that we saw during the last few weeks of data, which I think, is interesting is that if you look at share shifting, between different drugs in the acne space, you see a share shift towards the [indiscernible] which means that the most severe patients were getting treated. That doesn’t mean that there weren’t other acne prescriptions being prescribed and other acne brands being prescribed, and we saw that. Clearly, we added 500 unique prescribers for AMZEEQ over that period. So there is a cadre of position to not only are prescribing branded products, but also taking up a trial for AMZEEQ for the first time. So we think that the opening up of physician offices is a good thing because with that comes all the patients that may have been backlog for a period of time. And we’ll know more with real data probably in a couple of weeks.

Okay.

Oren, I’ll offer some of this additional thoughts. Again, I think it goes to the efforts of our commercial team and our sales force. As we said, in this current environment, although the aggregate number of calls may be less than what a normal sales force would experience in a face-to-face environment. The feedback that we’ve gotten and what we’ve seen is that the duration and quality of the calls has increased. And so, yes, we’re seeing environments that in a – or physician office that in a normal environment may be challenging to get a lot of face time with that particular practice, busy practice, navigating through a waiting room, navigating through the office protocol, they get time, can be challenging. And we know that for any commercial company, in any therapeutic category, derms [ph] not remiss from that. So what we are seeing is the team is taking advantage of this particular time period and getting good quality time with ACPs. And so it’s not unlike what we’re doing right now. If you get that health care provider through a virtual call, whether it’s FaceTime or the like or a virtual speaker event, you have a captive audience, you’re engaged and that time may go from, in a normal face-to-face environment, five to eight minutes to 10 minutes for a call to double or more than that. So that’s enabled our team to have very good quality discussions and educational discussions about the features and the benefits of our product for their patients, with the aim that as the offices continue to open up, they obviously have an awareness of our product and an increased awareness. I think that’s reflected in the fact that, as Matt outlined, we’ve seen over 500 new unique prescribers that have tried the drug, have prescribed AMZEEQ despite this current environment. So our hope is that, that serves us well as offices continue to open up. I hope that provides some additional color for you.

Yes. Thanks. Appreciate it.

And we have reached the end of the question-and-answer session. I will now turn the call over to management for closing remarks.

Okay. Thank you, operator, and again, thanks to everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to listening to our call. We look forward to providing you with continued updates as our business progresses. And in the meantime, we – on behalf of the company, wish everyone the best. Stay well, stay safe, and we look forward to talking with you soon. Thank you.

This concludes today’s conference, and you may disconnect your lines at this time. Thank you for your participation.
