The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published its final appraisal determination (FAD) recommending the use of Gilead Sciences and Galapagos’ Jyseleca (filgotinib) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Under the new arrangement, Galapagos will assume sole responsibility in Europe for filgotinib in RA, Gilead to receive royalties on European sales starting in 2024.
Gilead Science’s Galapagos-partnered oral JAK inhibitor filgotinib has been approved by the European Commission under the brand name Jyseleca for the treatment of moderate-to-severe active rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
