• Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. expects to achieve cash flow breakeven by 2028.

Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (IONS) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. can grow by taking its existing therapies into new territories or new patient groups. This is Market Development in action, and the numbers show where the near-term focus is.

Secure and Execute OUS Regulatory Approvals and Launches for WAINUA™ (Eplontersen) in ATTRv-PN

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved WAINUA™ (eplontersen) on December 21, 2023, for adults with polyneuropathy of hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (ATTRv-PN). This is the first of four independent launches Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. planned over three years following that approval. Globally, there are about 40,000 patients with ATTRv-PN. The next step is securing approvals outside the U.S. Ionis and AstraZeneca are actively seeking regulatory approval in Europe and other parts of the world. AstraZeneca already holds exclusive rights to commercialize WAINUA in Latin America, in addition to all other countries outside the U.S. Remember, WAINUA is the only approved medicine for ATTRv-PN that patients can self-administer via an auto-injector.

Support Sobi's Launch of TRYNGOLZA™ in the European Union for FCS

The European Commission cleared TRYNGOLZA® (olezarsen) for use as an adjunct to diet in adult patients with genetically confirmed familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS) on September 19, 2025. This is a key market development, as Sobi holds the exclusive rights to commercialize TRYNGOLZA in countries outside the U.S., Canada, and China. The U.S. FDA approved the drug in December 2024. In the EU, FCS is estimated to impact up to 13 people per million. For context, the condition affects an estimated 3,000 people in the U.S. Sobi's revenue in 2024 was SEK 26 billion.

Leverage Existing Partner Infrastructure for New Geographic Markets

Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. can use the established global footprint from its collaboration with Biogen on SPINRAZA® (nusinersen) to push other assets into new territories. SPINRAZA itself is approved in more than 60 countries, and more than 14,000 individuals have been treated with it worldwide. Back in 2017, when Ionis earned a $40 million milestone payment from Biogen for the Japan pricing approval, Biogen was already working to expand access, with marketing authorization applications under review in Switzerland, Israel, South Korea, and Australia. To date, Ionis has earned more than $435 million from Biogen related to SPINRAZA milestones.

Target New Patient Demographics Within Current Indications

The strategy here is moving TRYNGOLZA beyond its initial rare disease niche, Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS), into the much larger Severe Hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) population. The FCS population in the U.S. is estimated at about 3,000 people, while the sHTG patient pool in the U.S. is approximately 3 million. Within that sHTG group, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. plans to prioritize the high-risk segment, which includes roughly 1.2 million patients with triglyceride counts greater than 880 mg/dL or greater than 500 mg/dL with a history of acute pancreatitis (AP).

The data supporting this expansion is compelling:

• Placebo-adjusted triglyceride reductions of 72% and 63% at respective doses after six months in the CORE trial.
• Placebo-adjusted triglyceride reductions of 55% and 49% at respective doses after six months in the CORE2 trial.
• An 85% reduction in the risk of AP events after one year on TRYNGOLZA based on pooled data.

At launch, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. intends to focus on U.S. high-risk sHTG treaters, specifically cardiologists, endocrinologists, and lipidologists.

Here's a quick look at the patient pool size difference:

Establish New Commercial Partnerships to Enter Asian Markets

Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is streamlining its portfolio to focus on near- and mid-term commercial opportunities, which includes deals like the one for sapablursen. In March 2025, Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. secured an exclusive worldwide license to develop and commercialize sapablursen for polycythemia vera (PV). This deal provides immediate capital and future upside. Ionis received an up-front payment of $280 million. Furthermore, Ionis is eligible for up to $660 million in development, regulatory, and sales-based milestones, plus mid-teen-percentage royalties on net sales. The total potential value of the agreement is more than $900 million, or up to $940 million. This transaction helps fund Ionis's independent launches, like TRYNGOLZA, which saw its U.S. product revenue contribute to a 28% increase in commercial revenue in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

The financial structure of the Ono deal is:

• Upfront Payment: $280 million.
• Total Milestones: Up to $660 million.
• Royalty Stream: Mid-teen-percentage range.

Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (IONS) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s pipeline expansion, which is the core of its Product Development strategy under the Ansoff Matrix. This is where the company moves from existing markets with new products to entirely new patient populations and indications. It's about maximizing the value of their RNA-targeted platform.

The immediate focus is on securing a massive expansion for olezarsen, which is already launched as TRYNGOLZA® for familial chylomicronemia syndrome (FCS). The next step is targeting severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG). The data from the Phase 3 CORE (n=617) and CORE2 (n=446) trials are compelling, showing a placebo-adjusted mean reduction in fasting triglycerides of up to 72%. Critically, olezarsen demonstrated an 85% reduction in acute pancreatitis events. Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is positioning this for a supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) submission by the year-end 2025. The U.S. market for sHTG includes approximately 3 million people, with more than 1 million considered high risk, which aligns with the target population expansion you mentioned.

Here's a quick look at the key pipeline advancements driving this strategy:

• Advance WAINUA™ (eplontersen) for ATTR cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) via the CARDIO-TTRansform Phase 3 study, which is fully enrolled with over 1,400 patients.
• Submit the regulatory filing for zilganersen in Alexander disease (AxD) in the first quarter of 2026.
• Anticipate the independent launch of olezarsen in sHTG and zilganersen in AxD in 2026.
• Invest a portion of the $2.2 billion cash reserves (as of September 30, 2025) into next-generation technology.

For WAINUA (eplontersen) in ATTR-CM, the Phase 3 CARDIO-TTRansform study is the largest ever conducted in this patient group. You should expect the data readouts for this indication in the second half of 2026. This move into ATTR-CM leverages the existing LICA (LIgand-Conjugated Antisense) technology that delivered WAINUA for the polyneuropathy indication.

The push into neurology is further solidified by zilganersen for Alexander disease (AxD). The pivotal trial showed a 33.3% mean difference in the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) for the pivotal dose cohort versus placebo (P = .0412). AxD is an ultra-rare condition, affecting about 1,000 people in the U.S.. While smaller than the sHTG opportunity, this launch, planned for 2026, is important for establishing Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.'s independent neurology commercial capability.

Financially, the company is well-capitalized to fund this development cadence. As of Q3 2025, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. held $2.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments. A portion of this is earmarked for platform enhancement. Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is focused on advancing next-generation technologies, with stated goals to advance the first Bicycle-siRNA into clinical development and select the first clinical candidate engineered to cross the blood brain barrier. This investment in LICA technology improvement is key to enhancing dosing and delivery for future antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drugs.

The acceleration across cardiology and neurology is evident in the product lifecycle management:

The financial underpinning for this aggressive development schedule is the balance sheet. The $2.2 billion in cash reserves provides runway, especially as the company projects achieving cash flow breakeven by 2028, driven by these anticipated 2026 launches.

Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (IONS) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at how Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is moving beyond its established markets and products to secure future growth, which is classic diversification in the Ansoff sense. This involves expanding the pipeline into new therapeutic areas and exploring entirely new technology modalities.

The push into a new, independent neurology franchise is clearly underway. Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. initiated the global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 REVEAL study for ION582 in Angelman syndrome (AS) in the first half of 2025. This pivotal study is set to enroll approximately 200 children and adults with a maternal UBE3A gene deletion or mutation. The drug, ION582, is an RNA-targeted antisense medicine designed to increase UBE3A protein production. This program builds on encouraging findings from the earlier Phase 1/2 HALOS study, and on September 9, 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted ION582 Breakthrough Therapy designation for AS. This effort is part of a broader strategy that includes eight medicines in clinical development across rare and more prevalent diseases within their wholly owned neurology pipeline.

To fund this core pipeline development and manage the operating loss, Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has been actively out-licensing non-core assets. A prime example is the global license of sapablursen to Ono Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. in the second quarter of 2025. This deal brought in a $280 million upfront payment. On top of that, Ionis is eligible for up to $660 million in additional development, regulatory, and sales milestones, plus royalties in the mid-teen percentage range on net sales. This single transaction significantly bolstered the company's financials, contributing to the Q2 2025 total revenue of $452 million.

Here's a quick look at the financial context provided by these non-core asset transactions and core product launches:

The move beyond RNA-targeted medicines into a new modality is supported by past strategic investments. Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. previously formed a collaboration to explore gene editing technologies, paying $80 million upfront to Metagenomi. This alliance is structured to jointly pursue research for up to four genetic targets, with Ionis holding the right to add four more targets upon hitting milestones.

The company is also focused on building out its internal commercial capabilities, anticipating substantial growth from its wholly owned portfolio. Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. expects to undertake three more independent launches over the next three years, following the December 2024 approval of Tryngolza.

Regarding diversification into new therapeutic areas outside of neurology and cardiometabolic focus, the following strategic activities are part of the plan:

• Exploring gene editing technologies to complement the ASO platform, moving beyond RNA-targeted medicines into a new modality.
• The neurology franchise expansion includes ION582, which establishes a new, independent area of focus.
• The sapablursen deal involved an asset outside the core focus areas of neurology and cardiometabolic disease.
