So it looks like the FDA didn't think another trial was necessary and they can go ahead with a NDA by the end of 2022. Should only go up from here.

Is the corrected data not significant? At this rate it will touch 52 week low, similarly to identifying data interpretation problem timeline! Been watching since Citi et al rated buy's in Dec 2021. Tried to catch a falling knife and have been cut...ouch! Any thoughts on why today's significant drop, can't find anything yet...this is not simply market driven!

News came out. It is going to be great today.

Incidence of Grade 3 esophagitis substantially reduced in patients treated with avasopasem compared to literature
No Grade 4 or 5 esophagitis in patients treated with avasopasem
MALVERN, Pa, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galera Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRTX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a pipeline of novel, proprietary therapeutics that have the potential to transform radiotherapy in cancer, today announced topline results from the six-week, Phase 2a, open-label, single-arm AESOP trial of avasopasem evaluating its ability to reduce the incidence of severe acute radiation-induced esophagitis in patients with lung cancer receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
The multicenter Phase 2a trial enrolled 39 patients (62 screened) with unresectable Stage 3A/3B or post-operative Stage 2B non-small cell (NSCLC) or limited-stage small cell (SCLC) lung cancers. Thirty-five patients completed treatment with 60 gray of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plus chemotherapy over six weeks. Of these 35 patients, 29 received at least five weeks of 90 mg of avasopasem on the days they underwent IMRT. These 29 patients were evaluated as the pre-specified per protocol population. Patients enrolled in this trial were considered at high risk for developing esophagitis due to the amount of radiation planned to be delivered to the esophagus.1 Patients were assessed and classified according to NCI-CTCAE criteria.2
