Corporate Information
Mission Statement Galmed Medical Research develops innovative, proprietary drugs for the treatment of chronic lipid related diseases. The company has developed a series of proprietary fatty acid bile-acid conjugates (FABACs) which selectively effect several pathways in lipid metabolism, as demonstrated in several species in vivo and in human cells and tissues in vitro. The company’s flagship clinical compound Aramchol (arachidyl amido cholanoic acid), for the treatment of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver and Steatohepatitis (NAFLD & NASH, respectively) has completed Phase I studies in Humans and is about to start Phase IIa Studies.
Milestones
Galmed is seeking a partnership / licensing arrangement in order to participate in compound development.
At present the company is advancing in several fronts: • Advancement of Aramchol towards Phase-II clinical trial in patient populations. • Selection of future preclinical candidates for liver dependent therapeutic indications. • Establishment of a chemical and biological program to evaluate centrally active compounds for brain disorders that are related to lipid metabolism.
