Watch out for...
Topline results from a phase III study evaluating Filgotinib versus placebo in adults with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have an inadequate response to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug(s) (DMARDs) treatment, dubbed FINCH 2, are expected this month.
Interim readout of the FALCON patient trial is also expected this month. The FALCON trial is a phase II study of the investigational triple combination therapy in cystic fibrosis patients. The FALCON trial was initiated in April of this year.
