Applied Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: APLT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of novel drug candidates against validated molecular targets in indications of high unmet medical need, today announced a poster presentation at the upcoming 2021 Annual Clinical Genetics Meeting of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) taking place April 13-16, 2021. The abstract and presentation include a cross-sectional analysis of nineteen pediatric patients with Classic Galactosemia, characterizing progressive worsening of the central nervous system (CNS) phenotype with age.

“We are pleased to share this important data with the medical community,” said Riccardo Perfetti, MD, PhD, Chief Medical Officer of Applied Therapeutics. “The severity and significant decline in CNS outcomes with age underscores the urgency for a disease-modifying therapy to halt or prevent damage in Galactosemia. ”
