Title: Filgotinib takes one step further towards market entry in ulcerative colitis

Filgotinib takes one step further towards market entry in ulcerative colitisGilead has advanced JAK1 inhibitor, filgotinib to late stage development for both Crohn’s disease and colitis as well as rheumatoid arthritis.
A single global Phase 2b/3 study SELECTION is being conducted for ulcerative colitis.
SELECTION intended to study 100mg and 200mg filgotinib (qd) vs placebo in 1,300 ulcerative colitis patients. Since this was the first time filgotinib had been dosed in ulcerative colitis patients the study had an adaptive design with a planned interim futility analysis by the Data Monitoring Committee planned. This was set after 350 patients had completed the induction period in the Phase 2b portion of the study.
Gilead and Galapagos announced in May 2018 that the committee had recommended continuation into Phase 3 at both 100mg and 200mg qd in biologic-experienced and biologic-naïve patients.
The CTG entry has now been updated indicating that enrolment is complete. SELECTION will dose patients for 58wk with the primary endpoint being endoscopic and PRO2 (bleeding and stool) remission at 10wk. We can now expect the last patient to complete their final visit in May 2020 with filing anticipated around Q4 2020.
This is about two quarters later than previously expected but given the current challenges of conducting IBD trials the study coordinators have done a pretty good job keeping SELECTION on track. Filgotinib remains on course to become the second to market JAKi for ulcerative colitis after Xeljanz.
