Greenwich LifeSciences Approved to Add Additional Sites to FLAMINGO-01 in Europe
January 29 2025 - 5:00AM
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 provided
the following update on the expansion of the clinical trial into
Europe.
The Company's application to add an additional
11 sites in Spain, Germany, and Poland has been formally approved
by EMA. The academic networks participating in each country are
Geicam (Spain), Unicancer (France), GBG (Germany), GIM (Italy), and
a network of Polish sites. With this additional approval,
regulators have cleared the way to activate approximately 110-115
sites in Europe.
Based on the interest of principal investigators
at additional sites, the Company plans to submit applications to
EMA regulators to add 5-10 additional sites in Ireland, Romania,
and potentially other countries in Europe.
CEO Snehal Patel commented, "In 2024, we
activated sites in all 5 countries in Europe, which represent a
large population similar to that of the US. We visited these sites
to train the study team, doctors, pharmacists, and nurses and hope
to complete the activation of the last sites in the coming quarters
in 2025. The expansion of FLAMINGO-01 into Europe has been
complimentary to the activated sites in the US, which also
increased in 2024. In total we now have approximately 100 sites
globally that are activated and screening patients. We believe that
the interest level in Europe is very high as we have seen a large
increase in patient screening in the second half of 2024."
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.
