First dosing triggers $10 million milestone payment from Gilead Mechelen, Belgium; 5 April 2017, regulated information - Galapagos NV (Euronext & NASDAQ: GLPG) announces dosing of the first patient with psoriatic arthritis in the EQUATOR Phase 2 study. This achievement triggers a $10 million milestone payment from Gilead to Galapagos.
The EQUATOR Phase 2 study will be a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the safety and efficacy of the selective JAK1 inhibitor filgotinib in adult patients with moderately to severely active psoriatic arthritis.
Galapagos and Gilead entered into a global collaboration for the development and commercialization of filgotinib in inflammatory indications. In addition to the EQUATOR Phase 2 study in psoriatic arthritis and the TORTUGA Phase 2 study in ankylosing spondylitis led by Galapagos, Gilead initiated the FINCH Phase 3 program in rheumatoid arthritis, the DIVERSITY Phase 3 study in Crohn's disease, the SELECTION Phase 2b/3 study in ulcerative colitis in 2016 and leads the Phase 2 study in Sjgren's syndrome.
Filgotinib is an investigational drug and its efficacy and safety have not been established. For information about the studies with filgotinib: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov For more information about filgotinib: http://www.glpg.com/filgotinib
