Webcast presentation tomorrow, 27 October 2017, at 14.00 CET/8 AM ET, www.glpg.com, +32 2 404 0659, code 2890376
Mechelen, Belgium; 26 October 2017, 22.01 CET; regulated information - Galapagos NV (Euronext & NASDAQ: GLPG) announces its unaudited results for the first nine months of 2017, which are further detailed in its Q3 2017 report available on the Galapagos website, www.glpg.com.
"Galapagos observed proof of concept in patients with GLPG1690 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and MOR106 in atopic dermatitis this quarter, demonstrating again that we can deliver novelty to address unmet patient needs," said Onno van de Stolpe, CEO. "Our novel mechanism of action platform forms the basis of what we do at Galapagos, and, together with filgotinib, our investigational JAK1 inhibitor in inflammatory diseases, we now have three completely new mechanisms for which we have observed proof of concept in major disease need areas. And this is just the start: our platform continues to deliver novel targets and molecules in inflammation, fibrosis, and other diseases. We have the pipeline, the expertise, the people, and the financial resources to progress our programs and realize the full potential of our innovation."
"In the first three quarters of 2017 Galapagos continued to invest in its R&D pipeline to produce substantial progress. Delivery of the FLORA study results and the Phase 1b results with MOR106 solidified shareholder confidence in the future of our company and in our ability to execute," said Bart Filius, CFO. "With a cash position of €1.2 billion, we remain well positioned to advance our wide range of R&D programs. We anticipate our cash burn for the full year to be at the lower end of our guidance of €135 - 155 million."
