GLPG2222 and GLPG2451 for Cystic Fibrosis

In their most recent press release http://www.glpg.com/press-releases, dated June 15th, 2016, Galapagos (GLPG) reported the following. 
 
Galapagos reports that GLPG2222, the first early binding (C1) corrector, passed the safety hurdle in Phase 1 studies in healthy volunteers. GLPG2222 was tested in single ascending doses up to 800 mg, and in multiple ascending doses up to 600 mg qd for 14 days in a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. The candidate drug was shown to be well-tolerated and no emerging safety signals observed in the dose range studied. Absorption of GLPG2222 was rapid and favorable. Pharmacokinetics of GLPG2222 support once-daily dosing regimens to be explored in further development. Corrector GLPG2222 will be tested next with potentiator GLPG2451 in healthy volunteers. Corrector GLPG2222 is one of the potential modulator compounds for the triple combination therapy that Galapagos and AbbVie are developing, aiming to address 90% of all CF patients.

The corrector GLPG2222 is dosed once daily, and will now be tested with the potentiator GLPG2451 which is also a once daily dosing, in a phase 1 clinical trial for healthy volunteers, with readout by the end of 2016.  Thank you for reading.
