The TGA approval opens a high-incidence melanoma market with significant unmet need. Watch for the number of authorized treatment centers in Australia and the pace of patient starts as leading indicators of Amtagvi revenue acceleration outside the US. The authorized share increase (150M new shares) may be used for future financing, so monitor equity raises.
