Galapagos 1Q25 update selects MCL as lead CAR-T indication, more data in 2025

Galapagos reported 1Q25 results with € 3.3b in cash and reiterated its cash burn guidance of € 175-225m (excl. restructuring costs). In the pipeline, the company provided more clarity on the path to market and selected MCL as lead indication, for which pivotal development is planned to begin in 2026. While Tecartus is already approved in that setting, it comes with burdensome toxicity and sales have plateaued. As such, we think GLPG5101's low rates of grade =3 CRS/ICANS could be a differentiator, and look forward to additional data by YE25. We reiterate our € 37 TP and Buy rating.
