Frequently asked questions about GLPG1972

What is GLPG1972 used for?

GLPG1972 is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of osteoarthritis, a musculoskeletal condition. It has been evaluated in clinical trials involving participants with knee osteoarthritis. GLPG1972 has not been approved for any indication and remains in clinical development.

Who is developing GLPG1972?

GLPG1972 is being developed by Lakefront Biotherapeutics, which trades under the ticker LKFT. The company has sponsored the clinical trial program for the drug in osteoarthritis, including Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies conducted in the United States and the Netherlands.

What phase is GLPG1972 in?

GLPG1972 is in Phase 2 development. Its Phase 2 trial, NCT03595618, evaluated efficacy and safety in participants with knee osteoarthritis and has been completed. Two earlier Phase 1 trials, NCT03311009 and NCT02851485, have also been completed. GLPG1972 is investigational and has not been approved by the FDA.

What clinical trials is GLPG1972 in?

GLPG1972 has been studied in three completed clinical trials: NCT03595618, a Phase 2 efficacy and safety study in knee osteoarthritis with 932 participants; NCT03311009, a Phase 1 study in osteoarthritis subjects with 30 participants; and NCT02851485, a Phase 1 bioavailability study with 12 healthy male volunteers.
