Products and Services

Galera Therapeutics is developing a range of groundbreaking products focused on transforming cancer radiotherapy. The main products under development include:

• Avasopasem manganese (GC4419): This flagship product candidate is a small molecule dismutase mimetic. It has recently completed a Phase III clinical trial aimed at treating severe oral mucositis caused by radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Furthermore, it is in the midst of a Phase IIa clinical trial targeting the treatment of radiotherapy-induced esophagitis in lung cancer patients, and another Phase IIa trial for patients with HNC undergoing standard radiotherapy care. Avasopasem manganese focuses on alleviating the debilitating side effects of radiotherapy, thereby aiming to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
• GC4711: Another promising dismutase mimetic product candidate developed by Galera, GC4711, is currently undergoing a Phase I/II clinical trial. This trial is exploring its efficacy in conjunction with stereotactic body radiation therapy for patients suffering from non-small cell lung cancer and those with locally advanced pancreatic cancer. GC4711 represents Galera’s continuous commitment to expanding its portfolio of therapeutics with the potential to ameliorate the adverse effects of radiotherapy, offering new hope and advanced treatment options for cancer patients.
