Galectin Therapeutics Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company in the clinical development phase, dedicated to discovering and advancing new therapies for a spectrum of illnesses, including fibrotic disorders and various cancers. The company's flagship therapeutic agent is belapectin (GR-MD-02), an inhibitor of galectin-3, which is a complex polysaccharide polymer. This compound is currently undergoing Phase III clinical trials, assessing its effectiveness in treating liver scarring linked to fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) cirrhosis, alongside its potential for cancer treatment. Beyond belapectin, Galectin Therapeutics is progressing GM-CT-01 through preclinical stages for the management of cardiac and vascular fibrosis. The company is also actively exploring additional uses for belapectin in conditions like psoriasis, lung fibrosis, and kidney fibrosis. Furthermore, through Galectin Sciences, LLC – a joint venture established with SBH Sciences, Inc. – the firm is involved in researching and developing small organic molecules designed to block galectin-3, intended for oral administration. Established in 2000, the company was initially known as Pro-Pharmaceuticals, Inc. before officially changing its name to Galectin Therapeutics, Inc. in May 2011.
