- Developing
the first off-the-shelf personalized immunotherapy for advanced breast
cancer, Bria-OTS. Bria-OTS is designed to provide personalized treatment
for ~90% of the advanced breast cancer patients without the high costs and
difficult manufacturing associated with personalized treatments. The
technology may be applicable to other cancers.
- Addressing
an unmet need by targeting advanced breast cancer, from which an estimated
40,000 women have died in U.S. in 2017
- $1
billion-$5 billion market opportunity depending on patient treatment stage
- Results
of two completed proof-of-concept human clinical trials showed rapid tumor
shrinkage at multiple sites in advanced breast cancer patients without
toxicity associated with other oncology treatments (e.g. chemotherapy).
- Bria-IMT
has completed enrollment of a Phase I/IIa clinical trial with outstanding
safety data and early signs of potent efficacy. Preliminary data from the
Phase I/IIa trial is expected in 3Q2018.
- BriaDX,
a companion diagnostic test, is currently in development along with
Bria-IMT and Bria-OTS.
- Experienced
management has been involved in over 10 drug approvals
- Significant
near-term news-flow
BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (OTCQB: BCTXF) (TSX.V: BCT),
based in Berkeley, CA, and headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, is a
clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of targeted
immunotherapy for advanced breast cancer.
BriaCell hopes to develop and market the first off-the-shelf
personalized immunotherapy for the treatment of advanced breast cancer.
The results of two previous proof-of-concept clinical trials
produced encouraging results in patients with advanced breast cancer. Most
notably, one patient with breast cancer that had spread to other sites
(metastatic cancer) responded to Bria-IMT with a substantial tumor shrinkage in
multiple sites including the breast, the lung, soft tissues and even the brain.
Similar observations have been confirmed more recently in additional patients,
and BriaCell is developing BriaDX as a way to identify those patients most
likely to respond.
BriaCell has recently completed recruitment of a Phase I/II
study (NCT03066947) of Bria-IMT, the Company’s lead product candidate, in
advanced breast cancer patients showing an outstanding safety profile and
excellent efficacy. BriaCell is currently enrolling advanced breast cancer
patients in a combination therapy trial (NCT03328026) of Bria-IMT with Keytruda
(Keytruda is a registered trademark of Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a
subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.) or Yervoy (Yervoy is a registered
trademark of Bristol-Myers Squibb Company). For further information on the
Phase IIa clinical trials, please visit trial
NCT03066947 and trial
NCT03328026.
BriaCell’s pipeline also includes Bria-OTS, the first
off-the-shelf personalized immunotherapy for advanced breast cancer; and, a
companion diagnostic product BriaDX. By using BriaDX to identify and treat the
patients who would most likely benefit from their immunotherapies, BriaCell
expects to personalize the treatment for the patients, and bring hope to
thousands of cancer patients who currently have few-to-no treatment options.
Breast Cancer Statistics
The National Cancer Institute estimates that more than
265,000 new cases of female breast cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. during
2018, and that more than 40,000 women in the U.S. will die from the disease.
Approximately 12 percent of women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some
point during their lifetime, based on 2013-2015 data.
Using its novel technology platform and strong R&D
capabilities, BriaCell believes it has the opportunity to address this market,
as well as have the opportunity to develop immunotherapy candidates for other
cancer indications.
The global cancer immunotherapy market is expected to reach
nearly USD$203 billion by 2025.
