  • In Nuevolution’s internal RORγt inhibitor program (inflammation) and provided the outcome from an on-going in vivo IBD study is positive, we expect that only few additional data will be required for selecting a clinical strategy, where also Ankylosing Spondylitis has emerged as a potential further indication.
  • In the bromodomain BET BD1 selective program (inflammation), the IL23-induced ear dermatitis model (for Psoriasis or Atopic Dermatitis) was initiated in the three-month period ended 30 September 2017 and data is expected in the following three-month period. The program continues to progress according to plan.
  • In the Almirall partnership on RORγt inhibitors (dermatology and psoriatic arthritis), a substantial collaborative effort in the three-month period ended 30 September 2017 provided good progress.
  • In the Amgen collaboration, we expect to conduct in vivo proof of concept testing in two cancer programs within three to six months.
