24/7 Market News- BriaCell Reports Positive Phase II OS in Metastatic Breast Cancer
DENVER, Colo., Sep 11, 2024 (247marketnews.com)- BriaCell Therapeutics (Nasdaq: BCTX) reported positive overall survival data from its Phase 2 clinical study of Bria-IMT in combination with an immune check point inhibitor (CPI) in late-stage metastatic breast cancer.
The median overall survival of 15.6 months reported in BriaCell’s most recent patients (treated since 2022) is about double the 6.7-9.3 months for similar patients reported in the literature, and a significant improvement over BriaCell’s 13.4 months median overall survival previously reported in December 2023.
Sara A. Hurvitz, MD, Professor of Medicine, Fred Hutch Cancer Center and University of Washington and BriaCell medical advisory board member, commented, “Overall survival in patients with heavily pre-treated metastatic breast cancer is very poor.
“The BriaCell early data is quite encouraging from both efficacy and tolerability standpoints.”
Dr. William V. Williams, BriaCell’s President and CEO, followed, “We wanted to look at the Phase 2 data of those patients who most closely resemble the patients being treated in our ongoing phase 3 study and compare them to similar patients in the literature.
“The nearly two-fold overall survival benefit we are seeing with the Bria-IMT™ regimen, together with the similar previously reported approximate doubling of progression free survival, compared with literature controls, strongly support our belief that Bria-IMT™ could have a meaningful impact in the lives of heavily pre-treated metastatic breast cancer patients. We look forward to further clinical development of Bria-IMT™ with the goal of establishing it as a new standard of care for patients with metastatic breast cancer.”
Giuseppe Del Priore, MD, MPH, BriaCell’s Chief Medical Officer, added, “The Bria-IMT regimen is the only investigational drug we have seen to show these impressive survival numbers in heavily pre-treated metastatic breast cancer patients who have failed numerous prior treatments including immune check point inhibitors and antibody drug conjugates.
“These survival and clinical benefit data support BriaCell’s hypothesis of additive and/or synergistic effects of immune check point inhibitors with Bria-IMT™ and drive the ongoing pivotal study of our combination regimen in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer.”
Mobot alerted Briacell a minute after this morning’s announcement at $1.007 and 1.22M shares.
