NetworkNewsBreaks – BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT) Presents Initial Data from Bria-IMT Combination Study at Major Breast Cancer Conference
BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT), a biotechnology company developing targeted, safe treatment options for cancer, this morning announced the presentation of initial safety data from the combination study of its lead candidate, Bria-IMT, with pembrolizumab [KEYTRUDA®; manufactured by Merck & Co., Inc. (NYSE: MRK)] and confirmation of positive proof of concept data on Bria-IMT for advanced breast cancer at the 2018 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. “I am very excited about our data continuing to show robust biological activity of Bria-IMT™ in advanced breast cancer,” Dr. Bill Williams, president and CEO of BriaCell, stated in the news release. “These findings also reinforce our product development strategy for Bria-OTS™, BriaCell’s novel off-the-shelf personalized immunotherapy, by showing predictability of the anti-tumor responses in patients using a relatively simple and inexpensive HLA test.”
“Based on the data of three proof of concept studies to-date, Bria-IMT™ has shown the ability to produce powerful immune responses and elicit tumor regression even in heavily pre-treated patients with very advanced disease,” Williams continued. “We are highly confident of our strategy to use Bria-IMT™ in combination with KEYTRUDA®, an approved treatment for multiple cancer indications, and expect synergistic activity of this combination in patients with advanced breast cancer. We look forward to additional clinical data and expect to share details at upcoming scientific meetings.”
