Galapagos NV is a global biotechnology company focused on transforming patient outcomes through innovative cell therapies, particularly in the field of hematologic malignancies. In its first quarter of 2025, Galapagos reported significant progress in its clinical pipeline, notably dosing the first U.S. patient in the ATALANTA-1 study for its GLPG5101 program targeting mantle cell lymphoma. The company also announced leadership changes, with CEO Dr. Paul Stoffels retiring and Thad Huston stepping down as CFO/COO. Financially, Galapagos ended the quarter with €3.3 billion in cash and financial investments, despite a net loss of €153.4 million due to increased R&D expenses and strategic reorganization costs.
