Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLSI) (the "Company"), a
clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on its Phase III
clinical trial, FLAMINGO-01, which is evaluating GLSI-100, an
immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences, today announced
the initiation of clinical sites in Germany.
The Company has partnered with GBG (German
Breast Group), the largest academic breast cancer research network
in Germany, where approximately 38 sites have agreed to participate
in FLAMINGO-01. Most of the sites have been approved by German
authorities which has led to start-up activity in 2024, and the
remaining sites are currently under review.
The GBG Forschungs GmbH, which operates in
tandem with the German Breast Group, is renowned as one of the
world's leading breast cancer research organizations. With more
than 67,000 study participants and 3,500 new patients per year, GBG
is the largest breast cancer study group in Germany, consisting of
more than 1,000 doctors in over 800 centers. In 2023, GBG
published 64 research articles with a cumulative impact factor of
1,291, showcasing the high quality, cutting-edge research being
conducted. More information on GBG can be found at
https://www.gbg.de/en/.
According to the latest data collected by the
European Cancer Information System (click here), a total of 75,267
new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in Germany in 2022, which
is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, representing
approximately 29% of all cancers in women. Breast cancer is the
leading cause of death from cancer in women in Germany with 20,601
deaths in 2022.
Professor Sibylle Loibl, who serves on the
FLAMINGO-01 Steering Committee, expressed her excitement about the
partnership, stating "We are pleased to collaborate with Greenwich
LifeSciences on this important immunotherapy study. With a focus on
HER2+ high-risk patients who have not achieved a pathologic
complete response (pCR), but also those pCR patients who are having
a high-risk of relapse despite achieving a pCR, based on GBG data
(von Mackelenbergh 2023), this trial has the potential to further
improve our understanding of preventing breast cancer recurrences
and improving patient outcomes. We are also very pleased that the
first patient from Germany was randomized and treated in October
2024."
Dr. Sibylle Loibl serves as Professor (apl)
Goethe University Frankfurt/M, Clinical Consultant Centre for
Haematology and Oncology/Bethanien Frankfurt/M, CEO of GBG
Forschungs GmbH, and Chair of the German Breast Group. She is one
of the founding members of GBG. She is well known for her
leadership in developing new treatments and organizing large
international clinical trials. By 2023, she had written over 1000
original articles, reviews and book chapters and reached an
audience of over 13,000 followers in the last year.
Dr. Marcus Schmidt, the national Principal
Investigator (PI) for Germany for FLAMINGO-01 and Professor of
Molecular Oncology at the University Medical Center Mainz,
highlighted the significance of the study in advancing cancer
immunotherapy: "The FLAMINGO-01 trial presents a unique opportunity
to evaluate GLSI-100’s efficacy in preventing recurrence among
HER2-positive breast cancer patients. This trial could pave the way
for new treatment paradigms and further the potential of
immunotherapies in breast cancer care."
Jaye Thompson, VP of Clinical and Regulatory
Affairs, commented, "Adding FLAMINGO-01 sites in Germany will
provide access to the largest number of patients in Europe, and GBG
has an excellent reputation of providing high quality data. We are
fortunate to have a relationship with GBG and the opportunity to
offer FLAMINGO-01 to patients in Germany."
Snehal Patel, CEO of Greenwich LifeSciences,
added, "Our collaboration with GBG reflects the strength of our
mutual commitment to reducing metastatic breast cancer with the
latest scientific advancements. By working with one of the world’s
leading breast cancer research groups, and with Dr. Loibl’s active
participation on our Steering Committee, we are confident that this
partnership will accelerate progress and bring life-saving
innovations to the forefront."

About FLAMINGO-01 and
GLSI-100
FLAMINGO-01 (NCT05232916) is a Phase III
clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
GLSI-100 (GP2 + GM-CSF) in HER2 positive breast cancer patients who
had residual disease or high-risk pathologic complete response at
surgery and who have completed both neoadjuvant and postoperative
adjuvant trastuzumab based treatment. The trial is led by Baylor
College of Medicine and currently includes US clinical sites from
university-based hospitals and cooperative networks with plans to
expand into Europe and to open up to 150 sites globally. In the
double-blinded arms of the Phase III trial, approximately 500
HLA-A*02 patients will be randomized to GLSI-100 or placebo, and up
to 250 patients of other HLA types will be treated with GLSI-100 in
a third arm. The trial has been designed to detect a hazard ratio
of 0.3 in invasive breast cancer-free survival, where 28
events will be required. An interim analysis for superiority and
futility will be conducted when at least half of those events, 14,
have occurred. This sample size provides 80% power if the annual
rate of events in placebo-treated subjects is 2.4% or greater.
