💡 Points

Uveitis is a small but sticky indication where a non-steroid oral option is valued, and another label extension spreads development cost across more indications. The market will want to see the effect size against the standard of care, not just the win itself. I'd expect this to feed straight into Roivant's partnering and financing narrative for the asset.
