Briacell Therapeutics Corp has been trending higher on news - BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (Nasdaq: BCTX, BCTXW) (TSX: BCT) #briacell #cancer #richtv #richtvlive #breastcancer (“BriaCell” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in targeted immunotherapies for cancer, is presenting positive clinical data from its lead product candidate, Bria-IMT™, summarized in four poster sessions during the 2023 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting held from April 14 – 19, 2023 at Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida.
“Our data highlights the potential clinical value of the Bria-MT™ regimen in patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer after receiving multiple prior therapies,” said Carmen Calfa, M.D., of the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami, Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine, Principal Clinical Investigator, and co-author of the study of Bria-IMT™ in combination with PD-1 inhibitors pembrolizumab and retifanlimab. “These results are promising and the fact that patients have had a great quality of life thus far is remarkable. We are hopeful that this novel immunotherapy proves to be an effective therapy for our patients.”
“Our clinical findings continue to confirm our approach for our upcoming pivotal trial of Bria-IMT™ combination regimen,” commented Dr. William V. Williams, BriaCell’s President and CEO. “With over 40,000 annual deaths in the U.S. alone, advanced metastatic breast cancer remains an unmet medical need. Patients who have only months to live tend to avoid current therapies that are proven ineffective and are associated with excessive toxicities. BriaCell’s regimen has shown robust clinical efficacy, better than expected survival outcomes, and an excellent safety profile in this very difficult to treat patient cohort. We are seeing benefits in patients who failed other treatments and/or cannot tolerate the harsh side effects of other therapies.”
