Novel antibody shows in vivo Proof of Concept for inflammatory disordersIn November 2008, Galapagos and MorphoSys entered an antibody alliance aimed at discovering and developing antibody therapies based on novel modes of action in the area of immuno-inflammation disorders. Neutralizing antibodies with high specificity towards this target have now been tested in two gold standard, disease-specific in vivo models – rheumatoid arthritis and COPD - and achieved positive Proof of Concept. A joint program for generation of a fully human antibody directed against this target has now been initiated. Pre-clinical candidate selection could be achieved by mid 2013.
Galapagos hat heute Entwicklungsfortschritte auf ihrem R&D Programm zur gemeinsamen Entwicklung gebracht.
