Galectin De-Risks Belapectin Path With FDA Alignment - Sets Stage For Phase 3 Upside
Galectin Therapeutics remains a buy as recent FDA alignment de-risks belapectin's Phase 3 path and clarifies regulatory endpoints. The FDA's endorsement of a single, well-controlled Phase 3 trial with a composite clinical outcome endpoint reduces uncertainty and shortens timelines. GALT's valuation reflects skepticism about execution, financing risk, and commercial viability, but successful Phase 3 results could trigger a significant re-rating.
