Gilead and Glympse Bio Announce Strategic Collaboration for Use of Biomarker Technology in NASH Clinical Development

Tuesday, October 29, 2019

Gilead Sciences Inc. and Glympse Bio, Inc., today announced that the companies have entered into a strategic collaboration in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) clinical development. Glympse Bio’s proprietary synthetic biomarkers – bioengineered to identify stage and progression of disease as well as early detection of treatment response – will be used to determine clinical trial participants’ stage of disease at initial screening and to determine responses to study treatment in Gilead’s NASH clinical program.

“We are excited about the opportunity to partner with Glympse Bio to help inform our NASH development program,” said Mani Subramanian, MD, PhD Senior Vice President, Liver Diseases, Gilead Sciences. “By utilizing this innovative technology, we hope to better characterize this complex disease and improve our understanding of how our compounds impact disease progression.”

Glympse Bio’s proprietary technology, Glympse Inside™, combines synthetic biomarkers with machine learning approaches to identify the stage and monitor progression of important, complex diseases such as cancer, fibrosis, inflammation, and infections, in real time.

“We are very excited about partnering with Gilead, a leader in drug development, to help drive earlier and more favorable outcomes for patients,” said Caroline J Loew, President and CEO, Glympse Bio. “Gilead’s commitment to developing innovative medicines in areas of high unmet medical need aligns with our mission of transforming disease detection and measuring treatment response, all with the goal of helping improve the lives of patients.”
