About GlycoMimetics, Inc.
GlycoMimetics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel glycomimetic drugs to address unmet medical needs resulting from diseases in which carbohydrate biology plays a key role. GlycoMimetics' wholly-owned drug candidate, uproleselan, an E-selectin antagonist, was evaluated in a Phase 1/2 clinical trial as a potential treatment for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and is being evaluated across a range of patient populations including a Company-sponsored Phase 3 trial in relapsed/refractory AML. GlycoMimetics has also completed a Phase 1 clinical trial with another wholly-owned drug candidate, GMI-1359, a combined CXCR4 and E-selectin antagonist. GlycoMimetics is located in Rockville, MD in the BioHealth Capital Region.
GlycoMimetics, Inc. is a late clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing glycobiology-based therapies for cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and for inflammatory diseases. It is developing a pipeline of glycomimetics, which are small molecules that mimic the structure of carbohydrates involved in biological processes, to inhibit disease-related functions of carbohydrates, such as the roles they play in inflammation, cancer and infection. Its drug candidates include Uproleselan, GMI-1687, Galectin Antagonists and GMI-1359. It is developing Uproleselan, a specific E-selectin antagonist, to be used in combination with chemotherapy to treat patients with AML, a life-threatening hematologic cancer, and potentially other hematologic cancers. It has designed an antagonist of E-selectin, GMI-1687, that is suitable for subcutaneous administration. GMI-1359 is a drug candidate that simultaneously targets both E-selectin and a chemokine receptor (CXCR4).
