Galapagos A new CAR model

Galapagos entered the CAR-T space with an alternative point of care manufacturing model with the Cocoon, aiming to solve the scaling and supply challenges of autologous CAR-Ts. We believe going after de-risked CD19 is a good strategy for fast proof of concept, and early phase 1/2 data in NHL and CLL has shown promising results. We like the Cocoon's point of care model, and look forward to additional phase 1/2 data in NHL/CLL in mid-2023, but also see value in the immunology franchise, albeit with more modest expectations. We re-work our model arriving at a new € 55 TP (from € 60), and with conviction in both the CAR-T efforts as well as management, we upgrade Galapagos to ACCUMULATE (from HOLD).
