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 are molecules that mimic the structure of carbohydrates involved in important biological processes. Using its expertise in carbohydrate chemistry and knowledge of carbohydrate biology, GlycoMimetics is developing a pipeline of glycomimetic drug candidates that inhibit disease-related functions of carbohydrates, such as the roles they play in inflammation, cancer and infection. GlycoMimetics’ lead drug candidate, rivipansel, is being developed for the treatment of vaso-occlusive crisis associated with sickle cell disease and will be studied in a Phase 3 clinical trial to be conducted by Pfizer Inc., the company’s collaborator for rivipansel. GlycoMimetics’ drug candidate GMI-1271, a novel and proprietary E-selectin antagonist, is being developed as a potential therapy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other blood disorders and is being studied in a Phase 1 clinical trial.
