UCB Galvokimig R&D call highlights potential in AD, model update

Yesterday, UCB hosted an R&D call to highlight the phase 2a data for galvokimig from EADV 2025, which showed strong efficacy in atopic dermatitis (AD), with a 52.6% placebo-adjusted EASI75 response at week 12, outperforming other biologics in cross-trial comparison. The KOL highlighted galvokimig's potential for broad positioning across the AD treatment paradigm if the early data is replicated in later stage trials, especially as a monotherapy. We update our model for UCB, which brings us to a new TP of € 249 (from € 214), and expect continued commercial momentum for Bimzelx. As such, we reiterate our ACCUMULATE rating.
