Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GLSI) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on its Phase III clinical trial, FLAMINGO-01, which is evaluating Fast Track designated GLSI-100, an immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences, today presents the published abstract and poster from the AACR Meeting 2026.
The abstract is shown below and the poster being presented today can be seen and downloaded at the bottom of Phase III clinical trial tab on the Company's website here.
- This is the first abstract and poster presented jointly with the Steering Committee of FLAMINGO-01 with statistically significant delayed-type-hypersensitivity (DTH) immune response data, with subgroup analysis by the most prevalent HLA types.
- In the non-HLA-A*02 open label arm where all patients (n=247) were treated with GLSI-100, immune responses to GP2 were measured at baseline and over time using skin tests and other methods. The other methods will be presented at a future conference.
- A DTH reaction (redness and/or induration) was used to assess in vivo immune responses in patients. The DTH orthogonal mean was also measured 48-72 hours after injection but is not reported here.
- In this preliminary data analysis, there was a significant increase in percentage of patients experiencing a DTH reaction (redness) in month 4 or month 6 compared to baseline. There were 191 patients with both baseline and month 4 or 6 assessments.
- The frequency of DTH reactions increased by approximately 4x (290%) in the total open-label non-HLA-A*02 population, increasing from 5.2% of the patients experiencing a DTH reaction at baseline, prior to any GLSI-100 administration, to 20.4% of the patients experiencing a DTH reaction in month 4 or month 6 (McNemar, p < 0.001).
- As reported in Table 1 of the poster, each HLA-A type exhibited more frequent immune reactivity after treatment with GLSI-100 than at baseline with frequency increasing from 100% to 700%.
- 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.
- Mechanism of Action: A positive immune response is an indicator that the immune system has been activated against recurring cancer cells, potentially leading to the prevention of metastatic breast cancer. The Company previously announced that in the non-HLA-A*02 arm, a preliminary analysis of recurrence rates after the Primary Immunization Series (PIS) is completed shows an approximately 70-80% reduction in recurrence rate. Thus, the immune response data is supporting the mechanism of action that reduces recurrences and prevents metastatic breast cancer.
- This statistically significant non-HLA-A*02 open label arm immune response data is trending similarly to the immune response data in the HLA-A*02 patients in the Phase IIb study and the HLA-A*02 arms of FLAMINGO-01. The study is ongoing and data collection and cleaning continue, while some patients may still be in their PIS vaccination phase, so final results may vary.
- A 1% per year recurrence rate is so low that the number of recurrence events is too few to correlate a negative or lack of immune response to recurrence. The same constraint existed with the Phase IIb data which has a similarly low recurrence rate per year. While DTH immune response may be valuable at an aggregate level looking at whole patient populations, the recurrence rate is too low to validate any immune response measure as a biomarker for individual patient treatment decisions. It is also likely that some responding patients may not exhibit any immune response but still could be protected by GLSI-100 vaccination, thus helping to preserve the blind on the randomized arms of FLAMINGO-01.
The immune response abstract and poster conclusion: The statistically significant increase in the incidence of DTH reactions over time found in this preliminary analysis of GLSI-100 treated non-HLA-A*02 patients shows that GLSI-100 treatment should not be limited to HLA-A*02 patients. Patients treated with GLSI-100 were increasingly able to mount an immune response to GP2 as evidenced in this preliminary data. Future investigations may explore the use of immune responses to assess correlation of DTH to ISRs, immunogenicity of GLSI-100 by specific HLA type, timing of boosters to sustain immunity, clinical site performance, and the discontinuation of treatment for non-responders.
In addition, the second poster describing the Phase III trial design, which is being presented on Tuesday, April 21, can be downloaded and seen on the website using the same link. This poster provides an update that over 1,300 patients have been screened to date in FLAMINGO-01. The new protocol amendment, which is still under regulatory review in certain countries, is not discussed.
