At Galileo Life, our goal is nothing short of a revolution in the way that healthcare is talked about and delivered. Through the establishment of a dedicated and professional network of Galileo Smart Clinics throughout the country, our vision is the development of a national-level holistic health services and wellness platform specializing in assessment, diagnostic, home-monitoring, and treatment services. The Healthcare Renaissance is here, and Galileo Life Sciences intends to herald the change in Healthcare and re-imagine Healthcare options. Galileo Life Sciences is about the pursuit of alternative solutions both in addition to, and outside of the current Western medical healthcare paradigm. We believe in taking the best of the conventional and combining it with what nature has provided - and what droves of scientific research continues to uncover and confirm - to help us heal, relieve pain, improve sleep, alleviate anxiety, increase appetite, offset the side effects of powerful pharmacological and medical treatments, and much more. Galileo Life Sciences extends an invitation to all practitioners and entrepreneurs in the Healthcare sector, to join us and become part of the bold and rapid global movement to ensure that healthcare is accessible by all in the world.

Vital Therapies

Vital Therapies, Inc. is a biotherapeutic company focused on developing a cell-based system for the treatment of acute liver failure. Our product candidate, the ELAD® System, is a human cell-based, bio-artificial liver support system that operates outside the body, or extracorporeally, and is designed with the proposed intent to allow the patient’s own liver to regenerate to a healthy state, or to stabilize the patient until liver transplant. The ELAD System incorporates our human liver-derived cells, or VTL C3A cells, contained in four hollow fiber cartridges, that are combined with single use customized disposable sets and an ancillary delivery system. Data from ELAD clinical studies has shown trends that may indicate a potential to increase survival rates in patients with acute liver failure. ELAD has received orphan designation in the United States and Europe for the treatment of acute liver failure. Prior to the initiation of our ongoing Phase III clinical trial program, over 145 subjects have received therapy with the ELAD System in seven clinical trials and through a compassionate use program, which we believe collectively suggests a promising therapeutic profile. In March 2013, we initiated VTI-208, a Phase III randomized, controlled clinical trial in 200 subjects with alcohol-induced liver decompensation. We reached the midpoint in enrollment of this trial in April 2014, and anticipate the release of preliminary data in the first half of 2015. In addition, we are conducting a second Phase III randomized, controlled clinical trial, VTI-210, in 150 subjects with severe acute alcoholic hepatitis, or AAH, which is a subset of AILD, and expect to initiate enrollment of subjects later in 2014. In the second quarter of 2014, we began enrollment of a Phase II clinical trial of the ELAD System in subjects with either fulminant hepatic failure, or FHF, or surgery-induced acute liver failure, or SILF. We anticipate the release of data from VTI-210 in 2016 and the Phase II component of VTI-212 in 2015 or 2016.
