Galectin Therapeutics presented new data from its NAVIGATE trial at EASL 2026 showing that belapectin significantly reduces the development of varices and improves liver fibrosis markers in patients with advanced MASH cirrhosis. The drug modulates fibrogenesis balance, reducing portal hypertension risk and liver stiffness, which are key factors in disease progression.

Further development and regulatory approval efforts are anticipated to confirm these benefits.
