Galecto continues to develop GB1211, its first-in-class, oral small molecule, galectin-3 inhibitor for the treatment of oncology and severe liver cirrhosis. GB1211 is currently being studied in an investigator-initiated Phase 2 trial at Providence Portland Medical Center’s Earle A. Chiles Research Institute. GB1211 is being administered in combination with the standard therapeutic dose of pembrolizumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma or recurrent or metastatic HNSCC progressing during or after platinum-containing chemotherapy. This trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GB1211 in combination with pembrolizumab and determine whether the addition of GB1211 increases the response rate of pembrolizumab in metastatic melanoma and HNSCC patients. This trial was initiated and enrolled its first patient in the second quarter of 2024. In addition, during the second half of 2023, Galecto concluded its Phase 1b/2a trial examining GB1211 in combination with atezolizumab, a PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor, for the treatment of first-line non-small cell lung cancer. Four patients in this trial showed a partial response according to RECIST criteria (version 1.1), and two of these four patients continue to receive treatment in the extension phase of the trial. As part of the strategic alternative review process, Galecto has determined not to further advance GB2064, its LOXL-2 inhibitor candidate, at this time.
