Greenwich LifeSciences Receives EMA Approval To Use Commercially Manufactured GP2 In Its FLAMINGO-01 Phase III Clinical Trial
Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. GLSI | 0.00 |
All European and US Sites to Treat Patients with Commercially Manufactured GP2
The Company previously announced that the first three commercial lots of GP2 active ingredient were manufactured in 2023 in an approved commercial facility, which could be used to prepare approximately 200,000 doses of GP2. In 2024, the first commercial lot filling GP2 into vials for commercial sale or for clinical use was manufactured in a commercial facility. In addition, drug stability programs were initiated for all four lots. Data on these commercial lots was submitted to the FDA, and after review, the first commercial lot of GP2 vials was approved for use in FLAMINGO-01 in the US in early 2026. All approximately 40-50 US sites have been supplied with commercially manufactured GP2 vials and have begun treating patients with these vials. We were able to efficiently distribute the GP2 vials and communicate with the US pharmacists working with our warehouse partners and through our clinical team, which we internalized in Q4 2025.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has completed their review and will also allow use of the same commercially manufactured GP2 lot in FLAMINGO-01 in Europe. Thus, all clinical sites in the US and Europe, which have increased from 160 sites to approximately 170-180 sites, are expected to be using the same lot with shipments to European pharmacies already under way. We are now seeking approval to use this lot in the UK and Canada in separate and independent regulatory processes.
About FLAMINGO-01 Open Label Phase III Data
More than 1,300 patients have been screened with a current screen rate of approximately 800 patients per year. The 250 patient non-HLA-A*02 arm is now fully enrolled, where all patients received GLSI-100, which is 5 times more treated patients and recurrence rate data than the approximately 50 patients treated in the Phase IIb trial. The Primary Immunization Series (PIS), which includes the first 6 GLSI-100 injections over the first 6 months and is required to reach peak protection, is followed by 5 booster injections given every 6 months to prolong the immune response, thereby providing longer-term protection.
- In the non-HLA-A*02 arm, a preliminary analysis of recurrence rates after the PIS is completed shows an approximately 70-80% reduction in recurrence rate.
- This observation is trending similarly to the Phase IIb trial results and hazard ratio where HLA-A*02 patients were treated and where breast cancer recurrences were reduced up to 80% compared to a 20-50% reduction in recurrence rate by other approved products.
- The immune response at baseline prior to any GLSI-100 treatment, the increasing immune response during the PIS, and the safety profile of non-HLA-A*02 patients is trending similarly to the HLA-A*02 arms of FLAMINGO-01 and to the Phase IIb study.
- The AACR Meeting 2026 delayed-type-hypersensitivity (DTH) poster and the ASCO Meeting 2026 injection site reaction (ISR) poster can be seen and downloaded at the bottom of the Phase III clinical trial tab on the Company's website here.
- As shown in both posters the frequency of DTH and ISR reactions increased statistically significantly over time.
- As reported in Table 1 of each poster, each HLA-A type exhibited more frequent immune reactivity after treatment with GLSI-100 than at baseline.
- Baseline DTH reaction prior to any treatment suggests that GP2 may be a natural antigen and that GP2 specific T cells may exist in some patients prior to any treatment with GLSI-100. Baseline immune response to GP2 prior to any vaccination with GP2 was also observed in the Phase IIb trial and is being observed in the blinded randomized arms of FLAMINGO-01, where HLA-A*02 only patients are being vaccinated.
Analysis of the open label data from FLAMINGO-01 has been conducted in a manner that maintains the study blind. The open label recurrence rate, immune response, and safety data is based on the patients enrolled to date in FLAMINGO-01 and the data provided by the clinical sites so far, which is not completed or fully reviewed, 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.
About GLSI-100 Phase IIb Study
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 posters and results can be summarized as follows and can be seen here:
- 80% or greater reduction in metastatic breast cancer recurrence rate over 5 years of follow-up with a peak immune response at 6 months and well-tolerated safety profile.
- The PIS elicited a potent immune response as measured by local skin tests and immunological assays.
