Glycologix, Inc. (“Glycologix”), a clinical-stage company developing biopolymers for the protection and repair of soft tissues, announced that clinical results from its multi-center, Phase 1b study of GLX-100 in Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome (IC/BPS) will be presented at the American Urological Association (AUA) 2025 Annual Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Podium presentation details:

Title: A Phase 1b, First-in-Human, Open-label, Single-Arm Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of GLX-100, a Novel Synthetic Glycosaminoglycan Replacement Therapy in Subjects with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome
Presentation Number:PD03-04
Presentation Date/Time: Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 7:24 AM
Presenter: Dr. Jeffrey Proctor
Location: Venetian Expo Center, Galileo 1001

IC/BPS affects approximately 10 million people in the U.S., predominantly women. 1,2 It is a urological disorder that often compromises the integrity of the natural protective barrier layer of the bladder wall, resulting in pain and pressure in the bladder/pelvic area and urinary frequency, urgency and nocturia. GLX-100 is a novel synthetic intravesical biopolymer which has been designed to closely replicate the natural bladder protective barrier layer and relieve the symptoms of IC/BPS. Based on the data from this Phase 1b trial, Glycologix is planning a phase 2b study with GLX-100.

Commenting on the trial results, Grannum R Sant, MD, said, “This first in human clinical trial demonstrates early promise for the safety and efficacy of GLX-100 in the treatment if IC/BPS, a condition for which clinicians currently have limited treatment options with no U.S. FDA product approvals in nearly 30 years.”
