Comment: Ziritaxestat (GLPG1690) is a selective autotaxin Inhibitor [3], that was investigated for anti-fibrotic efficacy. Animal studies using GLPG1690 suggested potential for autotaxin inhibition in breast cancer treatment [2,9] and TSC2-loss associated oncogenicity (in tuberous sclerosis complex) [4]. In early 2021 data from the phase 3 ziritaxestat program in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF; ISABELA) was analysed, and the conclusion reached was that ziritaxestat's benefit-risk profile did not support continuing the program. At that time the decision was made to discontinue the inhibitor's phase 2 trial in systemic sclerosis.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
GLPG1690 was progressed to Phase 3 evaluation in IPF [5] and has completed a Phase 2 study in patients with scleroderma. Both of these programmes were discontinued in early 2021, due to lack of acceptable clinical benefit at intermin data analysis in the IPF study. |
