Screening

In each study, ~750 subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 across three arms; randomization will be stratified by local SOC for IPF (pirfenidone/nintedanib or no pirfenidone/nintedanib)

Treatment will be given for ≥52 weeks; studies will continue until the last subject reaches 52 weeks in the study

FU visit will occur 4 weeksafter the end-of-study visit

Study design

EoSA, end-of-study assessment; EoST, end-of-study treatment; FU, follow-up; IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; PO, orally; QD, once daily; SOC, standard of care

Keyeligibilitycriteria

Acute IPF exacerbation

Severe pulmonary hypertension

Lung volume reduction surgery/transplant

LRTI requiring antibiotics

Interstitial lung disease associatedwith known primary diseases,

exposures or drugs

Clinically significant ECG abnormalities;QTcF >450 ms; long QT syndrome

Medications: substrates metabolized by CYP2C8; strong inducers/inhibitors of

CYP3A4; potent inducers/inhibitors of P-gp

Unstable CV, pulmonary(other than IPF) or other disease

Moderate/severe hepatic impairmentand/or abnormal liver function

Abnormal renal function

Hb level <10 g/dL

A wide array of robust,clinically relevantendpoints relatedto efficacy, safety,tolerability, mortality,QoL, PK/PD andbiomarkers willbe assessed

For the first time, a registrational study will assess a novel IPF treatment notonly as monotherapy, but also in combination with pirfenidone or nintedanib

Compared with previousIPF drug developmentprograms, a broader range of patients with IPF will be recruitedas eligibility criteria areless restrictive, which betterreflects clinical practice

Patients areallowed tochangebackgroundSOC treatmentthroughout thestudies, reflectingpotential real-world use

Positive findings may ultimately lead to a much-needednew treatment option for patients with IPF

Disclosures

Endpoints

Inclusion Exclusion

Rate of decline in FVC over 52 weeks

Minimum treatment period is 52 weekswith a proportion ofsubjects to remain onstudy drug for longer,allowing longer-termefficacy and safety data to be collected

The study design is innovative and ambitious

Disease progression; time to first respiratory-relatedhospitalization; SGRQ change from baseline

Additional efficacy measures (e.g. 6MWT); cough (VAS cough, urge to coughLCQ); mortality; biomarkers; PK and PD; QoL (EQ-5D, K-BILD); safety

IPF is a rare disease with an estimated prevalence in Europe and North America of3–9 cases per 100,0001

Unmet need for novel, well-tolerated agents that reduce lung function decline, improve quality of life, and prolong life expectancy

Median survival without therapy is 2–3 years2,3

IPF is associated with progressive loss of lung function2

Primary

ISABELA 1 and 2 (NCT03711162 and NCT03733444) are two identicallydesigned, phase III studies with the primary objective of evaluating the

efficacy of GLPG1690 compared with placebo, each given on top oflocal SOC (i.e. pirfenidone, nintedanib or neither), in subjects with IPF

The first-in-class autotaxin inhibitor GLPG1690 has demonstrated encouraging resultsin early clinical trials, including the phase IIa FLORA study, warranting further evaluation

as a once-daily oral therapy for IPF5

Current SOC with the antifibrotic agents pirfenidoneor nintedanib slows disease progression,but prognosis remains poor4

IPF diagnosis (last 5 years)

IPF diagnosis by central review based on HRCT +/- lung biopsy
