Galecto Inc
Galecto, Inc. operates as a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing therapeutics which are designed to target the biological processes to treat fibrotic and related diseases including cancer. The firm is focused on developing therapeutics that are designed to target the biological processes that lie at the heart of fibrosis and impact a broad range of fibrotic and related diseases, including cancer. The Company’s initial focus is on the development of small-molecule inhibitors of galectin-3 and lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2). The firm is developing GB0139 for the treatment of severe fibrotic lung diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a life-threatening progressive fibrotic disease of the lung. The Company’s product candidate portfolio also includes GB1211, a selective oral galectin-three inhibitor, which is being developed for the treatment of fibrosis related to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and GB2064, a selective oral inhibitor of LOXL2 for the treatment of myelofibrosis, a malignant disease of the bone marrow in which fibrosis reduces the ability to form blood cells.
