Galapagos to Present Results of Pioneering Innovation in Cancer Cell Therapy at ASH 2024

  • New Phase 1/2 data support the potential of our CAR T-cell therapy candidates, GLPG5101 and GLPG5201, in addressing unmet needs for patients with poor prognoses.
  • Our innovative decentralized cell therapy manufacturing platform delivers fresh, fit cells within a median vein-to-vein time of seven days, with potentially encouraging patient outcomes.
  • Three abstracts, including one oral presentation for GLPG5101 in relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and a company showcase, will spotlight our cutting-edge cell therapy innovations in blood cancers and solid tumors.

Mechelen, Belgium; November 5, 2024, 22:01 CET; Galapagos NV (Euronext & NASDAQ: GLPG) today announced that it will present new data from its CAR T- and TCR T-cell therapy pipeline at the 66th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition in San Diego, CA, 7-10 December 2024.

Three abstracts, including one oral presentation, will feature new data from our proprietary cell therapy programs in relapsed/refractory (R/R) non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), and R/R chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and Richter transformation (RT), in addition to preclinical data in head & neck (H&N) cancer, developed in partnership with Adaptimmune. Galapagos will also host a company showcase, titled: Fresh, Fit, and Fast: Pioneering the Future of Cell Therapy through Decentralized Manufacturing.

"We are committed to advancing breakthrough innovations to expand the reach of cell therapies for patients with rapidly progressing cancers," said Jeevan Shetty, MD, Head of Clinical Development Oncology at Galapagos. "We are excited to present promising new clinical data for our CD19 CAR T-cell therapy candidates, which continue to support the hypothesis that delivering fresh, fit cells quickly could improve outcomes for patients. Additionally, the preclinical proof-of-concept data we will present with our partner Adaptimmune highlight the potential of our innovative approach in treating solid tumors, expanding our reach to critically-ill patients beyond hematological cancers."

The data to be presented are summarized below:

  • The oral presentation for GLPG5101, our CD19 CAR-T candidate in relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including R/R large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), will feature new safety, efficacy, and longer follow-up data for 45 patients in the ongoing Phase 1/2 ATALANTA-1 study (data cut-off: April 25, 2024). The presentation will also demonstrate the feasibility of our decentralized manufacturing platform, delivering a fresh, stem-like early memory cell therapy with a median vein-to-vein time of seven days, robust in vivo expansion, and durable persistence.
  • The poster presentation for GLPG5201, our CD19 CAR-T candidate in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (R/R CLL) and Richter transformation (RT), will include additional safety, efficacy, and translational data from 15 patients (cut-off date: February 21, 2024) in the ongoing Phase 1/2 EUPLAGIA-1 study, consistent with previously disclosed findings. The presentation will also highlight that decentralized manufacturing of GLPG5201, delivered as fresh cells in a median vein-tovein time of seven days, results in an increase in stem-like early memory phenotypes versus starting material, robust in vivo expansion, and durable persistence.
  • The poster presentation for uza-cel, a MAGE-A4 directed TCR T-cell therapy candidate in head & neck (H&N) cancer, in partnership with Adaptimmune, will highlight preclinical proof-of-concept data demonstrating that Galapagos' innovative decentralized cell therapy manufacturing platform can

produce uza-cel with features that may result in improved efficacy and durability of response in the clinic compared with the existing manufacturing procedure.
