GLPG might be interested in CNCE's deuterated Ivacaftor as a shortcut. It is a QD version which may be an advantage over the BID Kalydeco. Tung the ceo of CNCE was responsible for developing Kalydeco when he previously worked at VRTX. He started a P1 for d-1va after CNCE issued a d-corrector patent in 2014. GLPG has 5 correctors in its pipeline and I thought the FDA panel today was clearly not impressed by VRTX's corrector (Lumacaftor) effectiveness.
