Galapagos discovers novel candidate drug to treat breast cancer

I can't find any more solid information except this release written by a marketing department. Thanks for sharing anyway.

I looked around and found a couple of links with a little more information, but possibly also from the marketing department. The drug is said to use a novel target, and to completely stop growth of tumors grafted into mice. I also found another mention of it here (scroll about halfway down in the right-hand column). I don't know how reliable this site is, but the comment under this notice may explain why searches are only producing brief news releases--none of the basic research on the drug was published in English. I found nothing in PubMed searching for "GLPG1790", so it may also be that it was called something different in research studies.
