Galecto, Inc.

Galecto Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company. The Company 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 Company 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.
