Galapagos GLPG5101 phase 1/2 r/r iNHL cohort differentiates with high CR rate

Galapagos presented new data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 (ATALANTA-1) study of GLPG5101 (CD19 CAR-T) at the International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML). Results from the r/r iNHL cohort (FL and MZL) showed a high complete response rate of 97%, higher than Yescarta's 75% CR rate (79% in FL, 75% in MZL) in the same patient population in the phase 2 (ZUMA-5) trial. Safety continues to be a differentiator with only 1 grade 3 ICANS (vs. 19% grade = 3 with Yescarta). All in all, a supportive dataset that will help conversations with strategic partners, as Galapagos has decided to explore such options for the cell therapy business. We reiterate our € 37 TP and Buy rating.
