RationaleHigh galectin-3 levels predict poor outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Galectin-3 activates monocytes and macrophages which are directly implicated in COVID-19 immunopathology and the cytokine storm. GB0139 is a potent thiodigalactoside galectin-3 inhibitor and may reduce the severe effects of the disease. We report safety and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the inhaled galectin-3 inhibitor, GB0139, and assess clinical outcomes and key systemic inflammatory biomarkers in hospi...
