Galecto put on a brave face with its CEO stating, “As of 31 July, 2023, Galecto had approximately $49m in cash, cash equivalents and investments. Given the impact of the results from the GALACTIC-1 trial on our future plans, we are currently evaluating resource allocation with the goal of extending our cash runway into 2025.” The placebo-controlled Phase IIb GALACTIC-1 trial (NCT03832946) had a lot of momentum, with the trial having no issues in patient recruitment even during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, all of this was for nought as the trial failed to show a change in the rate of decline of forced vital capacity, a measure of lung function, from baseline at 52 weeks. Reported treatment-related serious adverse events, including worsening of disease, were seen in 7.8% and 1.4% of the patients in the treatment and placebo groups, respectively. The detailed results of the trial are planned for presentation at a future medical conference.
