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 following update on FLAMINGO-01 open label immune response
data.
FLAMINGO-01 Immune Response Data
Summary
The Company has analyzed the preliminary immune
response data from FLAMINGO-01. Immune response data in both the
HLA-A*02 treated and placebo arms and the third open label arm with
all other HLA types (non- HLA-A*02), show that GLSI-100 is creating
an immune response over time as the frequency of patients
exhibiting an injection site reaction or GP2 Delayed-Type
Hypersensitivity (DTH) skin test reaction as measured by induration
or erythema is increasing with increased vaccinations.
-
The number of patients experiencing an immune response increased
over time from baseline through the 4th to 6th month vaccinations
in both HLA-A*02 and non-HLA-A*02 arms.
-
In addition, a baseline immune response to GP2 is being observed
before any treatment with GP2 in both HLA-A*02 and
non-HLA-A*02 arms. This result suggests that GP2 is a natural
antigen, that may have been part of an immune response in the
patient during prior trastuzumab or other treatments.
-
These two general immune response findings, immune response at
baseline and increasing immune response over time, were also
observed in the Phase IIb clinical trial for HLA-A*02 only
patients. These results confirm that the HLA prevalence, safety,
and immune response in FLAMINGO-01 patients is trending as expected
in both HLA arms.
-
The Company recently filed patent claims for non-HLA-A*02 patients
which may be solely owned by the Company separate from any prior
license. These claims are also supported by binding prediction
algorithms and in vitro binding experiments conducted by the
Company. This represents an invention that was originated by the
Company which could double the number of patients eligible for GP2
treatment to approximately 88,000 new patients per year in the US
and Europe. The market potential using the drug prices per year of
Kadcyla or Enhertu could be in the range of $8-10 billion per
year.
- As
mentioned in a prior press release, the non-HLA-A02 types that are
most commonly being enrolled in FLAMINGO-01 include HLA-A*03,
HLA-A*24, HLA-A*01, HLA-A*11, HLA-A*68, HLA-A*29, HLA-A*30,
HLA-A*23, and HLA-A*33.
Analysis of the open label data from FLAMINGO-01
has been conducted in a manner that maintains the study blind. The
open label immune response data is based on the patients enrolled
to date in FLAMINGO-01 and is thus preliminary. While comparing any
preliminary FLAMINGO-01 data to the Phase IIb clinical trial data
may be possible, these preliminary results are not a prediction of
future results and the results at the end of the study may
differ.
CEO Snehal Patel commented, "We are very
encouraged to see that the preliminary results from FLAMINGO-01
show immune responses in both HLA-A*02 and non-HLA-A*02 patients.
We are now considering the merits of adding a randomized placebo
arm for non-HLA-A*02 patients, transforming this current open label
third arm into effectively a second pivotal and blinded Phase III
trial. If successful, the Company could pursue approval for both
HLA-A*02 and non-HLA-A*02 patients in similar time frames using
independent or combined analysis of the two patient groups with the
potential to double the market for GP2 to up to $10 billion in
revenue per year."
Mr. Patel added, "The Company may choose to
expand its immune response analysis of GP2 specific T cells by
sequencing the DNA of the T cells at baseline and after treatment
with GP2. The T cell sequences can be compared to the immune
response increases over time. Expansion into GP2 specific CAR-T
cells could potentially become another platform technology to
complement GP2 peptide treatment for non-responding higher risk
patients. Blood samples have been collected at multiple timepoints
for future T cell and immune response analysis."
Previously Published Phase IIb Immune
Response Data
In the prospective, randomized, single-blinded,
placebo-controlled, multi-center (16 sites led by MD Anderson
Cancer Center) Phase IIb clinical trial of HLA-A*02 breast cancer
patients, 46 HER2/neu 3+ over-expressor patients were
treated with GLSI-100, and 50 placebo patients were treated
with GM-CSF alone. After 5 years of follow-up, there was an 80% or
greater reduction in cancer recurrences in the
HER2/neu 3+ patients who were treated with GLSI-100, followed,
and remained disease free over the first 6 months, which we
believe is the time required to reach peak immunity and thus
maximum efficacy and protection. The Phase IIb results can be
summarized as follows:
- 80% or
greater reduction in metastatic breast cancer recurrence rate over
5 years of follow-up compared to 20-50% reduction in recurrence
rate by other approved products
- Peak
immune response at 6 months
- No
reported serious adverse events attributable to
treatment
-
Well-tolerated safety profile
Full immunization was received in the Primary
Immunization Series (PIS), which included the first 6 GLSI-100
injections over the first 6 months. The PIS elicited a potent
immune response as measured by local skin tests and immunological
assays. Further, booster injections given every 6 months prolonged
the immune response, thereby providing longer-term protection. In
the Phase IIb and three Phase I clinical trials, where 146
patients were treated, the GP2 immunotherapy was well
tolerated, and there were no reported serious adverse events
related to GLSI-100.
The Phase IIb immune response data in HLA-A*02
only patients was published at AACR in 2021 with the following
findings:
- GP2 immunotherapy generated
GP2-specific immune responses leading to promising clinical
benefit, thus supporting GP2’s mechanism of action.
- Immune responses to GP2 were
measured over time using a CD8 T cell dimer binding assay (Dimer
Binding Assay) and GP2 DTH skin tests. GP2 immunity peaked at 6
months in HER2 3+ patients after they completed their first 6
immunizations, as measured by the Dimer Binding Assay. The data
also shows that for the 2.5 years that the immune response was
measured, the immunity was sustained and remained above baseline,
resulting in a reduction in metastatic breast cancer
recurrences.
- Broad based immune response
suggests that GP2 immunotherapy and Herceptin based products may
also have the potential to treat low HER2 and other HER2 1-3+
expressing cancers in combination with trastuzumab or trastuzumab
antibody drug conjugates.
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.

About Breast Cancer and
HER2/neu Positivity
One in eight U.S. women will develop invasive
breast cancer over her lifetime, with approximately 300,000 new
breast cancer patients and 4 million breast cancer survivors. HER2
(human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) protein is a cell
surface receptor protein that is expressed in a variety of common
cancers, including in 75% of breast cancers at low (1+),
intermediate (2+), and high (3+ or over-expressor) levels.
