Galapagos plans to evaluate strategic alternatives after its autoimmune disease treatment didn't achieve statistical significance in a recent trial.
The Belgian biopharmaceutical company said Thursday that GLPG3667, a drug designed to treat dermatomyositis and active systemic lupus erythematosus, didn't achieve statistical significance in primary endpoint analysis.
The company will now look at strategic options, including potentially looking for partners to accelerate development in dermatomyositis. It could also look to expand into other severe autoimmune diseases, Chief Executive Henry Gosebruch said.
Gilead Sciences agreed to temporarily waive certain rights under its 10-year agreement with Galapagos, allowing Galapagos to pursue external partnership opportunities for GLPG3667.
