“Galera is off to a strong start in 2021, as we continue to progress our clinical oncology programs in radiation-induced severe oral mucositis (SOM), locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with our dismutase mimetics,” said Mel Sorensen, M.D., President and CEO of Galera. “We recently reported updated data from our placebo-controlled Phase 1/2 pilot trial, in which a near doubling of median overall survival was observed in patients with pancreatic cancer. Building on the positive results from this trial, we anticipate initiating a Phase 2b trial in the first half of 2021 in patients with LAPC, with overall survival as the primary endpoint. Importantly, we look forward to announcing topline data in the pivotal Phase 3 trial in SOM and potential regulatory approval and commercialization of avasopasem, our lead dismutase mimetic product candidate.”

About Galera Therapeutics
Galera Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a pipeline of novel, proprietary therapeutic candidates that have the potential to transform radiotherapy in cancer. Galera’s lead product candidate is avasopasem manganese (GC4419, also referred to as avasopasem), a selective small molecule dismutase mimetic initially being developed for the reduction of radiation-induced severe oral mucositis (SOM). Avasopasem is being studied in the Phase 3 ROMAN trial to assess its ability to reduce the incidence and severity of SOM induced by radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer (HNC), its lead indication. It is also being studied in the EUSOM Phase 2a multi-center trial in Europe assessing the safety of avasopasem in patients with HNC undergoing standard-of-care radiotherapy, the AESOP Phase 2a trial to assess its ability to reduce the incidence of esophagitis induced by radiotherapy in patients with lung cancer, and a Phase 2 trial in hospitalized patients who are critically ill with COVID-19. A pilot Phase 1/2 trial of avasopasem in combination with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) has completed enrollment and reported updated results, with follow-up ongoing. The FDA granted Fast Track and Breakthrough Therapy designations to avasopasem for the reduction of SOM induced by radiotherapy, with or without systemic therapy. Galera’s second dismutase mimetic product candidate, GC4711, is being developed specifically to augment the anti-cancer efficacy of SBRT, and is currently being studied in the GRECO-1 Phase 1/2 trial in combination with SBRT in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Galera also intends to initiate the GRECO-2 Phase 2b trial of GC4711 in combination with SBRT in patients with LAPC. Galera is headquartered in Malvern, PA.
