 As of June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015, there was $3,492,000 of unrecognized
 compensation related to 828,596 unvested options, which is expected
 to be recognized over a weighted&amp;#x2013;average period of
 approximately 1.67 years. The weighted-average grant date fair
 value for options granted during the six months ended June&amp;#xA0;30,
 2015 and 2014 was $2.78 and $11.38, respectively. The Company
 granted 304,000 stock options in January 2015, of which 76,000
 options vested upon grant with the remaining 228,000 options
 vesting over 3 years. Approximately $173,000 of non-cash,
 stock-based compensation expense was recorded during the six months
 ended June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015 related to the options granted in January
 2015 that were vested upon the grant date.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;/table&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 In January 2014, we created Galectin Sciences, LLC (the
 &amp;#x201C;LLC&amp;#x201D; or &amp;#x201C;Investee&amp;#x201D;), a collaborative joint
 venture co-owned by SBH Sciences, Inc. (&amp;#x201C;SBH&amp;#x201D;), to
 research and develop small organic molecule inhibitors of
 galectin-3 for oral administration. The LLC was initially
 capitalized with a $400,000 cash investment to fund future research
 and development activities, which was provided by the Company, and
 specific in-process research and development
 (&amp;#x201C;IPR&amp;amp;D&amp;#x201D;) contributed by SBH.&amp;#xA0;The estimated
 fair value of the IPR&amp;amp;D contributed by SBH, on the date of
 contribution, was $400,000.&amp;#xA0;Initially, the Company and SBH had
 a 50% equity ownership interest in the LLC, with neither party
 having control over the LLC.&amp;#xA0;Accordingly, from inception
 through the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company accounted for its
 investment in the LLC using the equity method of
 accounting.&amp;#xA0;Under the equity method of accounting, the
 Company&amp;#x2019;s investment was initially recorded at cost with
 subsequent adjustments to the carrying value to recognize
 additional investments in or distributions from the Investee, as
 wells the Company&amp;#x2019;s share of the Investee&amp;#x2019;s earnings,
 losses and/or changes in capital. The estimated fair value of the
 IPR&amp;amp;D contributed to the LLC was immediately expensed upon
 contribution as there was no alternative future use available at
 the point of contribution.&amp;#xA0;The operating agreement provides
 that if either party does not desire to contribute its equal share
 of funding required after the initial capitalization, then the
 other party, providing all of the funding, will have its ownership
 share increased in proportion to the total amount contributed from
 inception. In the fourth quarter of 2014, after the LLC had
 expended the $400,000 in cash, SBH decided not to contribute its
 share of the funding required. As a result, the Company contributed
 the $93,000, $159,000 and $172,000 needed for the fourth quarter of
 2014, first quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2015 expenses
 of the LLC, respectively. As a result, the Company&amp;#x2019;s
 ownership percentage in the LLC is 67.3% at June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015. The
 Company accounts for the interest in the LLC as a consolidated,
 less than wholly owned subsidiary. The Company&amp;#x2019;s portion of
 the LLC&amp;#x2019;s net loss for the year ended December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014,
 prior to the change in accounting discussed previously, was
 $400,000, which includes the&amp;#xA0;Company&amp;#x2019;s proportionate
 share of the non-cash charge associated with the contributed
 IPR&amp;amp;D of $200,000.&lt;/p&gt;

 The Company has certain financial assets and liabilities recorded
 at fair value. Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize
 observable data such as quoted prices in active markets. Fair
 values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize data points other than
 quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly
 or indirectly. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize
 unobservable data points in which there is little or no market
 data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own
 assumptions. The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated
 balance sheets for cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued
 expenses approximates their carrying value due to their short-term
 nature. There were no level 2 or level 3 assets held at fair value
 at June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015 or December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014.&lt;/p&gt;

 Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net
 loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average
 number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net
 loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss
 available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
 common shares and other potential common shares then outstanding.
 Potential common shares consist of common shares issuable upon the
 assumed exercise of in-the-money stock options and warrants and
 potential common shares related to the conversion of the preferred
 stock. The computation of diluted net loss per share does not
 assume the issuance of common shares that have an anti-dilutive
 effect on net loss per share.&lt;/p&gt;

 Dilutive shares which could exist pursuant to the exercise of
 outstanding stock instruments and which were not included in the
 calculation because their affect would have been anti-dilutive are

 &lt;p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 On March&amp;#xA0;30, 2014, the Company entered into an At Market
 Issuance Sales Agreement (the &amp;#x201C;2014 At Market
 Agreement&amp;#x201D;) with a sales agent under which the Company may
 issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate
 offering price of up to $30.0 million from time to time through the
 sales agent. Sales of the Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock through the
 sales agent, if any, will be made by any method that is deemed an
 &amp;#x201C;at the market&amp;#x201D; offering as defined by the U.S.
 Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company will pay to the
 sales agent a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds
 from the sale of any shares of common stock sold through the sales
 agent under the 2014 At Market Agreement. As of December&amp;#xA0;31,
 2014, the Company had issued 217,622 shares of its common stock
 through its 2014 At Market Agreement at an average price of $5.49

 &lt;p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 Between July&amp;#xA0;30, 2014, and August&amp;#xA0;6, 2014, three putative
 class action complaints were filed in the United States District
 Court for the District of Nevada (the &amp;#x201C;Nevada District
 Court&amp;#x201D;) against the Company and certain of its officers and
 directors on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise
 acquired the Company&amp;#x2019;s stock between January&amp;#xA0;6, 2014 and
 July&amp;#xA0;28, 2014.&amp;#xA0;By order entered August&amp;#xA0;22, 2014, the
 Nevada District Court consolidated the three cases, relieved the
 defendants of any obligation to respond to the complaints then on
 file, and provided that defendants may respond to a consolidated
 amended complaint to be filed following appointment of a lead
 plaintiff(s) pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform
 Act of 1995.&amp;#xA0;By order dated January&amp;#xA0;5, 2015, the Nevada
 District Court granted the defendants&amp;#x2019; motion to transfer the
 consolidated action to the United States District Court for the
 Northern District of Georgia (the &amp;#x201C;Court&amp;#x201D;).&amp;#xA0;On
 March&amp;#xA0;24, 2015, the Court appointed Glyn Hotz as the lead
 plaintiff (&amp;#x201C;Plaintiff&amp;#x201D;).&amp;#xA0;Plaintiff filed his
 Consolidated Class Action Complaint (the &amp;#x201C;Complaint&amp;#x201D;)
 on May&amp;#xA0;8, 2015.&amp;#xA0;The Complaint asserts claims on behalf of
 a putative class of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired
 the Company&amp;#x2019;s common stock between October&amp;#xA0;25, 2013 and
 July&amp;#xA0;28, 2014.&amp;#xA0;The Complaint alleges that the Company and
 certain of its officers and directors (the &amp;#x201C;Class Action
 Individual Defendants&amp;#x201D;) violated Section&amp;#xA0;10(b) of the
 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the &amp;#x201C;Exchange Act&amp;#x201D;)
 and SEC Rule 10b-5 through allegedly false or misleading statements
 in certain SEC filings, press releases and other public
 statements.&amp;#xA0;The Complaint further alleges that the Class
 Action Individual Defendants and one of the Company&amp;#x2019;s
 shareholders face liability for the alleged Section&amp;#xA0;10(b) and
 Rule 10b-5 violations pursuant to Section&amp;#xA0;20(a) of the
 Exchange Act.&amp;#xA0;The Complaint seeks class certification,
 unspecified monetary damages, costs, and attorneys&amp;#x2019;
 fees.&amp;#xA0;The Company disputes the allegations and filed a motion
 to dismiss the Complaint on June&amp;#xA0;26, 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 On August&amp;#xA0;1 and 25, 2014, persons claiming to be Galectin
 shareholders filed putative shareholder derivative complaints in
 the Nevada District Court, seeking recovery on behalf of the
 Company against certain of the Company&amp;#x2019;s directors and
 officers.&amp;#xA0;On September&amp;#xA0;10, 2014, the Nevada District
 Court entered an order consolidating the two cases, relieving the
 defendants of any obligation to respond to the initial complaints,
 and providing that defendants may respond to a consolidated
 complaint to be filed by the plaintiffs.&amp;#xA0;On January&amp;#xA0;5,
 2015, the Nevada District Court granted Defendants&amp;#x2019; motion to
 transfer the consolidated putative derivative litigation to the
 United States District Court for the Northern District of
 Georgia.&amp;#xA0;The plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint on
 February&amp;#xA0;27, 2015.&amp;#xA0;On April&amp;#xA0;6, 2015, the Company and
 defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated
 complaint.&amp;#xA0;Rather than respond to those motions, the
 plaintiffs sought and obtained leave to file an amended
 complaint.&amp;#xA0;Plaintiffs filed their amended complaint (the
 &amp;#x201C;Complaint&amp;#x201D;) on May&amp;#xA0;26, 2015.&amp;#xA0;The Complaint
 alleges that certain of the Company&amp;#x2019;s directors and officers
 (the &amp;#x201C;Derivative Action Individual Defendants&amp;#x201D;)
 breached their fiduciary duties to the Company&amp;#x2019;s shareholders
 by causing or permitting the Company to make allegedly false and
 misleading public statements concerning the Company&amp;#x2019;s
 financial and business prospects.&amp;#xA0;The Complaint also alleges
 that the Derivative Action Individual Defendants violated the
 federal securities laws by allegedly making false or misleading
 statements of material fact in the Company&amp;#x2019;s proxy filings,
 committed waste of corporate assets, were unjustly enriched, and
 that certain defendants breached their fiduciary duties through
 allegedly improper sales of Galectin stock.&amp;#xA0;In addition, the
 Complaint alleges that the Derivative Action Individual Defendants
 and one of the Company&amp;#x2019;s shareholders aided and abetted the
 alleged breaches of fiduciary duties.&amp;#xA0;The Complaint seeks
 unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company, corporate
 governance reforms, disgorgement of profits, benefits and
 compensation by the defendants, costs, and attorneys&amp;#x2019; and
 experts&amp;#x2019; fees.&amp;#xA0;The Company and defendants filed motions
 to dismiss the Complaint on July&amp;#xA0;8, 2015.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 On August&amp;#xA0;29, 2014, another alleged Galectin shareholder filed
 a putative shareholder derivative complaint in state court in Las
 Vegas, Nevada, seeking recovery on behalf of the Company against
 the same Galectin directors and officers who are named as
 defendants in the derivative litigation pending in the United
 States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia (the
 &amp;#x201C;Georgia Federal Action&amp;#x201D;).&amp;#xA0;The plaintiff in the
 Nevada action subsequently filed first and second amended
 complaints.&amp;#xA0;The second amended complaint alleges claims for
 breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, and waste of
 corporate assets, based on allegations that are substantially
 similar to those asserted in the Georgia Federal Action (except
 that the Nevada action does not allege violations of the federal
 securities laws and does not assert any claim against the Galectin
 shareholder named as a defendant in the Georgia Federal Action),
 and seeks unspecified monetary damages on behalf of the Company,
 corporate governance reforms, disgorgement of profits, benefits and
 compensation by the defendants, costs, and attorneys&amp;#x2019; and
 experts&amp;#x2019; fees.&amp;#xA0;The Company and defendants filed motions
 to dismiss the second amended complaint on April&amp;#xA0;22,
 2015.&amp;#xA0;On April&amp;#xA0;29, 2015, the plaintiffs in the Georgia
 Federal Action filed a motion to intervene in the Nevada action
 which, among other things, raised questions regarding the Nevada
 plaintiff&amp;#x2019;s standing.&amp;#xA0;Thereafter, the Nevada plaintiff
 filed a motion to join additional plaintiffs.&amp;#xA0;At a hearing
 held on June&amp;#xA0;11, 2015, the Nevada court:&amp;#xA0;(i)&amp;#xA0;granted
 the Georgia Federal Action plaintiffs&amp;#x2019; motion to intervene;
 (ii)&amp;#xA0;directed the Georgia Federal Action plaintiffs to file a
 complaint in intervention; (iii)&amp;#xA0;directed the Nevada plaintiff
 to file a motion for leave to file a further amended complaint to
 add additional plaintiffs; (iv)&amp;#xA0;stated that the
 defendants&amp;#x2019; motions to dismiss the second amended complaint
 were denied &amp;#x201C;at this point;&amp;#x201D; (v)&amp;#xA0;ordered the
 Nevada action stayed until December&amp;#xA0;11, 2015; and
 (vi)&amp;#xA0;directed the parties to submit a status report on
 December&amp;#xA0;11, 2015, updating the court on the progress and
 status of the Georgia Federal Action.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;page-break-before:always"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 Estimating an amount or range of possible losses resulting from
 litigation proceedings is inherently difficult and requires an
 extensive degree of judgment, particularly where the matters
 involve indeterminate claims for monetary damages, are in the early
 stages of the proceedings, and are subject to appeal. In addition,
 because most legal proceedings are resolved over extended periods
 of time, potential losses are subject to change due to, among other
 things, new developments, changes in legal strategy, the outcome of
 intermediate procedural and substantive rulings and other
 parties&amp;#x2019; settlement posture and their evaluation of the
 strength or weakness of their case against us. For these reasons,
 we are currently unable to predict the ultimate timing or outcome
 of, or reasonably estimate the possible losses or a range of
 possible losses resulting from, the matters described above. Based
 on information currently available, the Company does not believe
 that any reasonably possible losses arising from currently pending
 legal matters will be material to the Company&amp;#x2019;s results of
 operations or financial condition. However, in light of the
 inherent uncertainties involved in such matters, an adverse outcome
 in one or more of these matters could materially and adversely
 affect the Company&amp;#x2019;s financial condition, results of
 operations or cash flows in any particular reporting period.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="font-size:1px;margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"&gt;
 &amp;#xA0;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Other Legal Proceedings&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 The Company records accruals for such contingencies to the extent
 that the Company concludes that their occurrence is probable and
 the related damages are estimable. There are no other pending legal
 proceedings except as noted above.&lt;/p&gt;

 Galectin Therapeutics Inc. (the &amp;#x201C;Company&amp;#x201D;) is a
 clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that is applying its
 leadership in galectin science and drug development to create new
 therapies for fibrotic disease and cancer. These candidates are
 based on the Company&amp;#x2019;s targeting of galectin proteins which
 are key mediators of biologic and pathologic function. These
 compounds also may have application for drugs to treat other
 diseases and chronic health conditions.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as
 reported in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect all
 adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
 present fairly the financial position of the Company as of
 June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015 and the results of its operations for the three
 and six months ended June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015 and 2014 and its cash flows
 for the six months ended June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015 and 2014. All
 adjustments made to the interim financial statements include all
 those of a normal and recurring nature. The Company considers
 events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but
 before the financial statements are issued to provide additional
 evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that
 require additional disclosure. Subsequent events have been
 evaluated through the date these financial statements are available
 to be issued. The results for interim periods are not necessarily
 indicative of results which may be expected for any other interim
 period or for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated
 financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction
 with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
 December&amp;#xA0;31, 2014.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 The Company has operated at a loss since its inception and has had
 no significant revenues. The Company anticipates that losses will
 continue for the foreseeable future. At June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015, the
 Company had $26.4 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents
 available to fund future operations. The Company believes that with
 the cash on hand at June&amp;#xA0;30, 2015, there is sufficient cash to
 fund currently planned operations through September&amp;#xA0;30, 2016.
 The Company&amp;#x2019;s ability to fund operations after its current
 cash resources are exhausted depends on its ability to obtain
 additional financing or achieve profitable operations, as to which
 no assurances can be given. Accordingly, based on the forecasts and
 estimates underlying the Company&amp;#x2019;s current operating plan,
 the financial statements do not currently include any adjustments
 that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
 going concern.&lt;/p&gt;
 &lt;p style="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"&gt;
 The Company was founded in July 2000, was incorporated in the State
 of Nevada in January 2001 under the name
 &amp;#x201C;Pro-Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,&amp;#x201D; and changed its name to
 &amp;#x201C;Galectin Therapeutics Inc.&amp;#x201D; on May&amp;#xA0;26,
 2011.&amp;#xA0;On&amp;#xA0;March&amp;#xA0;23, 2012, the Company began trading
 on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol GALT. Immediately
 prior to March&amp;#xA0;23, 2012, the Company was traded on the
 Over-the Counter Bulletin Board (&amp;#x201C;OTCBB&amp;#x201D;) under the
