GlaxoSmithKline scraps a LAG3 study, marking another failure for the pipeline after a critical setback
Another gap has appeared in GlaxoSmithKline’s pipeline.
Friday morning the Australian biotech Immutep put out word that Hal Barron’s R&D group at GSK had decided to scrap a Phase II proof-of-concept study in ulcerative colitis for their anti-LAG3 therapy GSK2831781. According to the biotech, the program didn’t survive an interim review.
