Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

To Assess the PK AUC0-∞ of Belapectin Following a Single IV Dose of Belapectin in Subjects With Mild, Moderate, or Severe Hepatic Impairment, Compared to Healthy Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function.
Blood PK: Day -1 to 336 hours post dose

Statistical comparison of the pharmacokinetic AUC0-∞ parameters of belapectin in plasma from varying degrees of hepatic impairment to normal hepatic function following a single intravenous dose . AUC0-∞ = area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity.

To Assess the PK AUC0-t of Belapectin Following a Single IV Dose of Belapectin in Subjects With Mild, Moderate, or Severe Hepatic Impairment, Compared to Healthy Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function.
Blood PK: Day -1 to 336 hours post dose

Statistical comparison of the pharmacokinetic AUC0-t parameters of belapectin in plasma from varying degrees of hepatic impairment to normal hepatic function following a single intravenous dose. AUC0-t = area under the concentration-time curve from time 0 to the last measurable concentration.

To Assess the PK Cmax of Belapectin Following a Single IV Dose of Belapectin in Subjects With Mild, Moderate, or Severe Hepatic Impairment, Compared to Healthy Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function.
Blood PK: Day -1 to 336 hours post dose

Statistical comparison of the pharmacokinetic Cmax parameters of belapectin in plasma from varying degrees of hepatic impairment to normal hepatic function following a single intravenous dose. Cmax = maximum observed concentration

To Assess the PK t1/2 of Belapectin Following a Single IV Dose of Belapectin in Subjects With Mild, Moderate, or Severe Hepatic Impairment, Compared to Healthy Subjects With Normal Hepatic Function.
Blood PK: Day -1 to 336 hours post dose

Statistical comparison of the pharmacokinetic t1/2 parameters of belapectin in plasma from varying degrees of hepatic impairment to normal hepatic function following a single intravenous dose. t1/2 = terminal elimination half-life.

Frequently asked questions about belapectin

What is belapectin used for?

Belapectin is an investigational small molecule being studied for hepatic impairment, a condition in which the liver is unable to function normally. It is being developed by Galectin Therapeutics Inc. (GALT) and is currently in Phase 1 clinical development.

Who makes belapectin?

Belapectin is being developed by Galectin Therapeutics Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GALT. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's safety and tolerability in patients with hepatic impairment.

What phase is belapectin in?

Belapectin is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 1 trial, NCT04332432, which evaluated the drug in 38 participants with hepatic impairment. The drug is investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is belapectin in?

Belapectin has one completed clinical trial, NCT04332432, titled 'GT-032 Belapectin Hepatic Impairment.' This Phase 1 study enrolled 38 participants with hepatic impairment in the United States, including healthy volunteers, and was actively controlled but not randomized or double-blinded.

Is belapectin FDA approved?

Belapectin is not FDA approved. It is an investigational drug currently in Phase 1 clinical development for hepatic impairment. The FDA has granted it fast track designation, which is intended to expedite the development and review of drugs for serious conditions.
