British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline (LSE: GSK) has said it will kick off late stage development of its novel immunological candidate otilimab.

The biologic is an investigational anti GM-CSF monoclonal antibody, which boasts encouraging Phase II results from the BAROQUE study,  announced in October 2018.

GSK owns exclusive global rights to the therapy under the terms of  a 2013 agreement with German biotech firm MorphoSys (FSE: MOR), worth a potential 445 million euros ($502 million).
