About Galapagos
Galapagos (Euronext: GLPG; OTC: GLPYY) is
specialized in novel modes-of-action, with a large pipeline
comprising five Phase 2 studies (two led by GSK), one Phase 1
study, six pre-clinical, and 20 discovery small-molecule and
antibody programs in cystic fibrosis, inflammation, antibiotics,
metabolic disease, and other indications. In the field of
inflammation, AbbVie and Galapagos signed a worldwide license
agreement whereby AbbVie will be responsible for further
development and commercialization of GLPG0634 after Phase 2B.
GLPG0634 is an orally-available, selective inhibitor of JAK1 for
the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and potentially other
inflammatory diseases, currently in Phase 2B studies in RA and in
Phase 2 in Crohn's disease. Selective JAK1 inhibitor
GSK2586184 (formerly GLPG0778, in-licensed by GlaxoSmithKline in
2012) met the primary endpoint in a Phase 2 study in
psoriasis. An exploratory Phase 1/2 study in ulcerative
colitis is currently on hold. GLPG0974 is the first inhibitor
of FFA2 to be evaluated clinically for the treatment of IBD; this
program is currently in a Proof-of-Concept Phase 2 study.
GLPG1205 is a first-in-class molecule that targets inflammatory
disorders and has completed Phase 1. AbbVie and Galapagos
signed an agreement in CF whereby they work collaboratively to
develop and commercialize oral drugs that address two mutations in
the CFTR gene, the G551D and F508del mutation. Potentiator
GLPG1837 is at the pre-clinical candidate stage. Galapagos
has 400 employees, operating from its Mechelen, Belgium
headquarters and facilities in The Netherlands, France, and
Croatia. Further information at: www.glpg.com.
