−Removed: No deaths were reported during
−Removed: There were four serious adverse events (“SAEs”) in 3 patients with one (transient urticaria, grade 3) judged
−Removed: probably related to treatment.
−Removed: All SAEs were manageable with community practice therapies.
−Removed: Bria-IMT™ regimen was able to elicit delayed-type hypersensitivity (“DTH”) responses in all patients.
−Removed: measure of cell-mediated immunity.
−Removed: This response involves the interaction of T-cells, monocytes, and macrophages.
−Removed: This reaction is
−Removed: caused when CD4+ Th1 helper T cells recognize foreign antigen in a complex with the Class II HLA molecule on the surface of antigen-presenting
−Removed: These can be macrophages or dendritic cells that secrete monokines such as IL-12 and IL-15, which stimulates the proliferation
−Removed: of additional CD4+ Th1 cells.
−Removed: CD4+ T cells secrete other cytokines including IL-2 and interferon gamma, inducing the further release
−Removed: of other TH1 cytokines, thus mediating the immune response.
−Removed: This results also in the activation of CD8+ T cells which destroy target
−Removed: cells on contact, and activated macrophages which produce hydrolytic enzymes.
−Removed: DTH response involves the interaction of T-cells, monocytes, and macrophages.
−Removed: This reaction is caused when CD4+ Th1 helper T cells

−Removed: of stability of bone lesions.
−Removed: She completed therapy and 3 months after her last Bria-IMT™ inoculation, imaging studies
−Removed: identified regrowth of tumor notably in the breast, lung, and brain.
−Removed: After consultation with the FDA, the patient was treated
−Removed: off-protocol which also produced tumor regression, including the resolution of brain metastases.
−Removed: The HLA-DRB3 and HLA-DRB1 alleles
−Removed: of patient A002 matched with that of SV-BR-1-GM.
−Removed: was grade II (moderately differentiated).
−Removed: One other patient on this study (B001) with a grade II tumor had disease limited to bony
−Removed: She did not have measurable disease but was felt to progress on study.
−Removed: time to tumor progression was 144 days (range 64 – 223 days) for the initial round of treatment.
−Removed: Overall survival was more
−Removed: than 33 months in all patients except B001 (7 months).
−Removed: the WRI-GEV-007 study, patients were treated with a median of three cycles of therapy (range 1-8).
−Removed: Bria-IMT™ regimen was able to elicit both cellular immune responses (as evidenced by DTH responses in 85% of patients evaluated)
−Removed: and antibody responses (present in 58% of patients evaluated).
−Removed: most common adverse events seen were local irritation at the inoculation sites.
−Removed: patients showed evidence of anti-tumor activity of the Bria-IMT™ regimen in spite of their being heavily pre-treated advanced
−Removed: breast cancer patients.
−Removed: Specifically, one patient (designated 01-002) had regression or disappearance of 20 lung metastases, and
−Removed: stable disease in liver metastases (as the liver metastases were the target lesions, she did not qualify as a partial response).
−Removed: She displayed a robust DTH response, had a grade I tumor and matched Bria-IMT™ at 2 HLA loci.
−Removed: One patient (05-002) had a reduction
−Removed: in the size of a breast lesion but progression of a liver lesion and did not meet criteria for a partial response.
−Removed: She also displayed
−Removed: a robust DTH response, had a grade II tumor and matched Bria-IMT™ at 2 HLA loci.
−Removed: One patient (01-005) had a marked reduction
−Removed: in cutaneous involvement but developed restrictive cardiomyopathy (unrelated to study drug) with subsequent mortality.
−Removed: grade III (poorly differentiated) tumor and matched Bria-IMT™ at one HLA locus.
−Removed: She was not on study long enough to be evaluated
−Removed: for her response.
−Removed: 01-002, 05-002 and 01-005 who showed objective evidence of tumor shrinkage all matched the Bria-IMT™ cell line at least at
−Removed: one HLA locus and all had evidence of DTH responses to Bria-IMT™ and/or the parent cell line (SV-BR-1 – the breast cancer
−Removed: cell line from which Bria-IMT™ was derived).
−Removed: Patients who did not develop a DTH response did not show evidence of tumor shrinkage.
−Removed: 01-002 and 05-002 had grade I/II tumors.
−Removed: Both of them also had two HLA matches with Bria-IMT™.
−Removed: Two other patients with grade
−Removed: II tumors (patient 03-001 and 06-001) had stable disease on the study and were also considered to have received clinical benefit
−Removed: from the treatment.
−Removed: (Clinical benefit was defined as some evidence of tumor shrinkage (including a mixed response with shrinkage
−Removed: of some tumors but progression of others, as for 05-002) with over 90 days on study;
−Removed: or as stable disease, a partial response or
−Removed: a complete response as per RECIST criteria).
−Removed: Neither 03-001 nor 06-001 had HLA matches with Bria-IMT™, suggesting that HLA matching
−Removed: may not be required for clinical benefit in patients with grade I/II tumors.
−Removed: Thus, four of the six patients with grade I/II tumors
−Removed: exhibited clinical benefit.
−Removed: One of the remaining patients showed no evidence of an immune response as evaluated by DTH.
−Removed: of the five grade I/II patients able to develop an immune response, as noted by DTH, exhibited clinical benefit.
−Removed: preliminary data indicate that the Bria-IMT™ regimen in advanced breast cancer patients is well tolerated, able to elicit an
−Removed: immune response and able to induce reduction in tumor burden.
−Removed: phase I/IIa study (BRI-ROL-001) was initiated evaluating the combination of the Bria-IMT™ regimen with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab).
−Removed: This combination combines the induction of an immune response by Bria-IMT™ (i.e.
−Removed: “putting the foot on the gas”
−Removed: of the immune response) with the ability of KEYTRUDA® to block the PD-1 – PD-L1 immune checkpoint (i.e.
−Removed: the foot off the brakes” of the immune response).
−Removed: patients with advanced breast cancer (median of four prior systemic therapy regimens) have been treated with this regimen with cycles
−Removed: every three weeks for a median of three cycles (range 1 – 9 cycles).
−Removed: patients had evidence of tumor regression, both of whom had robust immune responses (as measured by DTH) to Bria-IMT™.
−Removed: of them had grade II tumors.
−Removed: One matched Bria-IMT™ at two HLA types (06-005) while the other did not match Bria-IMT™
−Removed: at any HLA types (06-001, who “rolled over” from the WRI-GEV-007 study where she had stable disease), suggesting that
−Removed: the Bria-IMT™ regimen, when given in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor, may be able to induce tumor regression without an HLA
−Removed: match especially in patients with grade I/II tumors.
−Removed: One additional patient (06-004) in this study had a grade II tumor and was noted
−Removed: to have stable disease.
−Removed: The other seven patients treated had grade III tumors (poorly differentiated).
−Removed: Thus, all three of the patients
−Removed: with grade I/II tumors showed evidence of clinical benefit.
−Removed: the establishment of a collaboration with Incyte Corporation, this study was altered to evaluate the combination of the
−Removed: Bria-IMT™ regimen with retifanlimab (anti-PD-1 antibody similar to KEYTRUDA®).
−Removed: The combination with KEYTRUDA® has been discontinued.
−Removed: A total of 12 patients
−Removed: were treated in the phase I part of the study in combination with retifanlimab.
−Removed: One of then switched from the Keytruda®
−Removed: combination to the retifanlimab combination.
−Removed: 50% of the evaluable patients
−Removed: showed disease control (stable disease or a partial response) with the safety profile again excellent.
−Removed: Dosing in this study is

+Added: Two different formulations of Bria-IMT™ were
+Added: also evaluated;
+Added: one treated with interferon gamma and one untreated.
+Added: patients entering the study were very heavily pretreated and had failed multiple prior therapies as shown in the Table 1 below.

+Added: of the patients had failed therapy with a CDK 4/6 inhibitor.
+Added: On average they had failed six prior therapy attempts.
+Added: the Phase 2 portion of the study, there were 32 patients with 16 treated with CPI early and 16 treated with CPI late.
+Added: There was no statistically
+Added: significant difference in progression-free survival (PFS) two groups.
+Added: However, a slight advantage in the CPI early group has led this
+Added: to be the selected regimen for the Phase 3 study.
+Added: In the entire Phase 1/2 experience, with 54 patients, the formulation not incubated
+Added: with interferon gamma showed a statistically significant improvement in PFS.
+Added: Therefore, this formulation was selected for the Phase 3
