BriaCell Reports 100% Resolution of Brain Metastasis in Breast Cancer Patient with "Eye-Bulging" Tumor Dramatic anti-tumor response includes complete resolution of right temporal lobe brain metastasis in patient with "Ey

Key Takeaway: BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. has reported a remarkable outcome in a Phase 2 study, where a heavily pre-treated breast cancer patient achieved a complete resolution of brain metastasis following treatment with the Bria-IMT regimen combined with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. The patient, who had previously failed eight other treatment regimens, demonstrated not only the eradication of the brain lesion but also significant tumor reduction in her orbital tumor. These developments suggest promising therapeutic potential for metastatic breast cancer patients with brain metastases, and the company aims to further explore these findings in ongoing clinical studies.

Market Sentiment Analysis

POSITIVE FACTORS

  • Complete resolution of brain metastasis in a breast cancer patient.
  • Significant shrinkage of other tumors, including an orbital lesion.
  • Positive implications for treatment options in metastatic breast cancer.
  • The treatment has shown excellent tolerability after extended use.

Reports 100% Resolution of Brain Metastasis in Breast Cancer Patient with "Eye-Bulging" Tumor
Dramatic anti-tumor response includes complete resolution of right temporal lobe brain metastasis in patient with "Eye-Bulging" metastatic breast cancer
Heavily pre-treated patient had failed 8 prior regimens including antibody-drug conjugate ( ADC) therapy and continues to receive BriaCell treatment
PA and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, October 1, 2024- 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 report dramatic anti-tumor response including complete resolution of temporal lobe breast cancer metastasis in a patient treated
in the Phase 2 study of BriaCell's Bria-IMT plus an immune checkpoint inhibitor regimen. The patient demonstrated an initial
partial response at 2 months in the brain lesion with no detectable disease following 8 and 11 months of treatment.
heavily pre-treated patient who had failed 8 prior regimens including ADC therapy, previously demonstrated significant reduction of
her "Eye-Bulging" orbital tumor and continues treatment with the Bria-IMT regimen. She has completed 17 cycles
of treatment and has been on BriaCell's Phase 2 study for 12 months. Also noteworthy is a sustained drop in her tumor markers,
confirming the imaging results of marked tumor reduction.
1: Bria-IMT regimen resulted in 100% resolution of tumor in the right temporal lobe region of the brain
shown in Figure 1, the right temporal lobe lesion is no longer detectable on the images taken at 8 months and 11 months on the Bria-IMT
combination regimen. The orbital lesion has continued to shrink markedly (Figure 2). In addition, her tumor markers (blood tests that
correlate with the amount of tumor in the body) remain markedly decreased from her pre-treatment levels.
2: Bria-IMT regimen resulted in near complete resolution of breast cancer tumor in the right orbit (behind the eye)
potential therapeutic impact is unprecedented in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) in a brain metastasis setting. Our clinical findings,
demonstrating significant tumor shrinkage in metastatic brain legions, may transform the way we treat MBC patients with brain metastasis,
and offers hope to cancer patients and their families fighting this devastating disease," stated Dr. William V. Williams, BriaCell's
President and CEO. "These results support Bria-IMT as a potential new therapeutic option for MBC patients with brain metastasis.
We look forward to evaluating the brain metastasis patient subgroup in our ongoing pivotal Phase 3 study in metastatic breast cancer."
believe that the complete tumor resolution in this patient with brain metastasis, plus other cases of significant anti-cancer clinical
responses in our Phase 2 MBC patients with brain metastasis, highlight the potential application of Bria-IMT in treating similar
MBC patients," commented Dr. Giuseppe Del Priore, BriaCell's Chief Medical Officer. "The protracted time on therapy,
now one year, attests to the excellent tolerability of the Bria-IMT regimen in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor
which is being used in our pivotal Phase 3 study."
