Galectin Therapeutics Presented NAVIGATE Trial Results at the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) 2025 Congress
Data presentation included efficacy and biomarker analyses from the NAVIGATE trial (n=287). Belapectin 2 mg/kg demonstrated a statistically significant reduction in new varices at 18 months in the per-protocol population (p=0.04). Significantly fewer patients in the belapectin treatment arms experienced worsening of liver stiffness as measured by FibroScan®, reinforcing the potential beneficial effect of belapectin in halting the progression of MASH cirrhosis.
