BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel immunotherapies to transform cancer care is pleased to announce the addition of NYU Langone Health’s Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center, a renowned cancer center in New York City, as a clinical trial site in its ongoing pivotal Phase 3 clinical study (Bria-ABC).
BriaCell has enjoyed a marked uptick in interest from premier cancer centers and patient enrollment numbers following the prominent independent feature of its Phase 3 clinical trial in Nature Medicine’s publication, “Eleven clinical trials that will shape medicine in 2026”, linked here.
BriaCell’s pivotal Phase 3 clinical study in Advanced Breast Cancer (Bria-ABC) is evaluating BriaCell’s lead clinical candidate, Bria-IMT™, plus an immune check point inhibitor versus treatment of physician’s choice in advanced metastatic breast cancer.
“At NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center, we are dedicated to offering state-of-the-art treatments to patients with difficult-to-treat cancers,” stated Nancy Chan MD, Director, Breast Cancer Clinical Research, NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center. “We look forward to helping accelerate the development of Bria-IMT, a novel immunotherapy with the potential to improve outcomes for patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer.”
“We are thrilled to partner with clinical experts at the renowned NYU Langone Health’s Perlmutter Cancer Center, a patient-focused, NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, to further expand patient access to our novel immunotherapy treatment,” said Dr. Giuseppe Del Priore, BriaCell’s Chief Medical Officer. “We continue to advance the study and look forward to sharing interim data in the coming months.”
Interim analysis of the pivotal Phase 3 study will be conducted after 144 patient events (deaths) have occurred, with overall survival (OS) as the primary endpoint. The study compares the Bria-IMT combination regimen with immune checkpoint inhibitor versus physician’s choice in patients with advanced metastatic breast cancer. Importantly, the Bria-IMT combination regimen has been granted FDA Fast Track designation, underscoring its potential to address a serious unmet medical need.
