How it reaches Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation

Andrew Altschuler was named Co-Founder and CEO of GOA Therapeutics. Separately, GOA Therapeutics announced new preclinical findings for its drug candidate, GOA26, presented at ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2026. In a porcine model of severe alcohol intoxication, GOA26 rapidly reduced circulating alcohol exposure by 61% at 20 minutes and reduced acetaldehyde levels. The results suggest GOA26 could improve airway safety and facilitate more predictable anesthetic induction during emergency surgery.
