Galapagos FIRST LOOK: Progress on BD with BridGene preclinical collaboration

Galapagos announced that it has entered into a preclinical collaboration with BridGene to discover novel small molecule drug candidates in oncology for $27m upfront and $700m in milestones, plus single digit tiered royalties. While considered early stage, this collaboration is a sign of progress on the BD front, and we'd be keen to see more on this in the coming quarters. We see this collaboration as a good fit for Galapagos given the company's expertise in small molecules, and are keen to learn about timelines for when candidates from this program are expected to enter the clinic. We reiterate our Accumulate rating and €55 TP.
