BriaCell Announces FDA-Authorized Expanded Access Policy for Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients
18 September 2024 - 9:50PM
BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (NASDAQ: BCTX, BCTXW) (TSX: BCT)
(“BriaCell” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology
company that develops novel immunotherapies to transform cancer
care, is pleased to announce U.S. FDA (FDA) authorization of an
Expanded Access Policy (EAP) for metastatic breast cancer (MBC)
patients.
FDA requires BriaCell to have an EAP policy, as
a condition of granting BriaCell’s Fast Track designation, and to
help MBC cancer patients in need of novel treatments. The EAP
provides access to cancer patients beyond the scope of BriaCell’s
pivotal Phase 3 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov
as NCT06072612) to receive treatment with the
Bria-IMT™ regimen.
“FDA authorization for the EAP highlights its
awareness of the safety and efficacy profile of Bria-IMT™ and
patients’ need to access such a novel treatment. While we are
conducting our pivotal Phase 3 trial of Bria-IMT™ regimen with an
immune checkpoint inhibitor, Bria-IMT™ may provide a treatment
option for cancer patients in need,” stated Dr. William V.
Williams, BriaCell’s President and CEO. “Despite numerous approved
drugs, breast cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer
death in American women. With our novel immunotherapy, we expect to
bring hope to patients and families suffering from this deadly
disease.”
“Given the recently reported impressive survival
and clinical benefit of Bria-IMT™ regimen in metastatic breast
cancer patients who failed multiple prior treatments, more patients
would be able to benefit from the EAP with BriaCell’s novel
immunotherapy approach,” stated Giuseppe Del Priore, MD, MPH,
BriaCell’s Chief Medical Officer. “We hope that our novel
immunotherapy will become a new standard of care for metastatic
breast cancer patients.”
