Gilead heeft met Galapagos gesproken over GLPG1690 programma (ATX-inhibitor).
Galapagos heeft geweldige fase 2a scores overlegt in kleine FLORA studie, waarbij IPF-patiënten zijn behandeld met GLPG1690. In H1 2018 start laatste fase.

Gilead is 11/11/2015 een partnership aangegaan met X-Rx voor ATX-inhibitors.
Dit heeft Aston M . toen gepost op forum.
25 maanden later is nu duidelijk zichtbaar binnen pipeline X-Rx dat het ATX-inhibitor programma (X-165) niet meer is gepartnerd met Gilead.
www.x-rxdiscovery.com/pipeline/Samenvattend: Gilead laat een ATX-partnership met X-Rx vallen (in 2 jaar weinig vooruitgang), en is wel sterk geïnteresseerd in GLPG1690 (IPF/NASH?/systemic sclerosis)?
Gilead en haar plannen met Galapagos.....?
Het zal het komend jaar, en zeker deze aankomende week, ons bezighouden. Hoe gaat Galapagos management hierop acteren.

11/11/2015:X-Rx Announces Autotaxin Inhibitor Collaboration with Gilead Sciences
Wilmington, NC: X-Rx, Inc. announced today that it has entered into an exclusive agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. to develop X-Rx’s proprietary small molecule autotaxin (ATX) inhibitors. ATX plays a key role in maintaining tissue homeostasis and is upregulated in many diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Inhibition of ATX leads to a reduction in lysophosphatidic acid production, which blocks signaling cascades that ultimately drive the development of fibrosis.
Under the terms of the agreement, X-Rx will receive an upfront payment and research funding to advance the lead molecule through early clinical development and to support the company in further developing its other pipeline assets. X-Rx also may receive subsequent clinical milestone payments.
X-Rx has granted Gilead the exclusive option to purchase the program. Further financial terms were not disclosed.
“We are very pleased to partner with Gilead on the ATX drug development program as we seek to address the needs of patients with IPF,” says Lee E. Babiss, Ph.D. and CEO of X-Rx, Inc. “This partnership underscores our capabilities and ability to successfully advance an efficient and high-quality drug discovery pipeline.”
