This is a long-term follow-up study for participants treated with Galapagos (GLPG) CAR T-cell therapies to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of GLPG CAR T-cell products for 15 years post infusion. Per Health Authorities guidelines for gene therapy medicinal products that utilize integrating vectors (e.g. lentiviral vectors), long term safety and efficacy follow up of treated patients is required. The purpose of this study is to monitor all participants exposed to GLPG CAR T-cell therapies for 15 years following their last CAR T-cell infusion to assess the risk of delayed adverse events (AEs) and the long-term benefit/risk profile and to monitor for replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) and CAR-T cell persistence.
Phase 3 trials are pivotal studies with large patient populations (hundreds to thousands) designed to prove efficacy and safety for FDA submission. A successful Phase 3 readout is typically the last major hurdle before a New Drug Application (NDA) or BLA filing.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Galapagos NV (GLPG) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (23/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
