Galera Therapeutics Inc is a biopharmaceutical company that historically was focused on developing a portfolio of small-molecule superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimetics to improve radiotherapy in cancer, mainly by reducing one of the common side effects of radiotherapy, severe oral mucositis (SOM). Superoxide Dismutase Mimetics: excess superoxide from cancer, autoimmune diseases, or therapies like radiotherapy causes oxidative damage. Galera's SOD mimetics, avasopasem and rucosopasem, mimic natural enzymes to convert superoxide into hydrogen peroxide, reducing oxidative stress. Avasopasem is in trials for hormone-resistant advance breast cancer. Nitric oxide (NO) promotes tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and immune evasion.
