SABCS Update & New Flamingo-01 Steering Committee

At the 2022 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), the Company met with the Flamingo-01 Steering Committee and met with clinicians from the US and various countries in Europe who are participating or planning to participate in Flamingo-01.

The Steering Committee is comprised of the following members and may be expanded as Flamingo-01 is expanded into Europe:

• Dr. Mothaffar F. Rimawi – Professor of Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine and Executive Medical Director and Co-Leader, Breast Cancer Program of the Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center
• Dr. William J. Gradishar - Professor of Medicine at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University, Chief of Hematology and Oncology in the Department of Medicine, and Betsy Bramsen Professor of Breast Oncology
• Dr. Sara A. Hurvitz - Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Medical Director of the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center Clinical Research Unit, Co-Director of the Santa Monica-UCLA Outpatient Oncology Practices, Director of the Breast Cancer Clinical Trials Program at UCLA, and Chief Medical Officer of TRIO-US
• Dr. Joyce A. O’Shaughnessy - Celebrating Women Chair in Breast Cancer, Baylor University Medical Center and Chair, Breast Cancer Program, Texas Oncology, US Oncology, Dallas, Texas

Dr. Rimawi, Chair of the Steering Committee, commented, “We are excited about having initiated this trial. We believe that GP2 carries great potential to improve outcomes for patients with HER2 positive breast cancer. With growing interest and excitement about treatments that boost the immune response to cancer, this trial is as timely as it is innovative, and we look forward to conducting it with the exceptional team of investigators we will be collaborating with in Flamingo-01.”

The Colorado and Alabama sites listed above are not yet recruiting. An additional 10 sites near the following locations may be activated in the future: San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston, Cincinnati, Albany, Dallas, Omaha, and New Haven. Negotiations are under way to add an additional 60-75 sites in Europe, bringing the total number of potential sites in Flamingo-01 to over 90 sites.

Flamingo-01 Enrollment & Open Label Data

Future updates or abstracts/posters may include the patient enrollment status of the trial and potentially open label data results.

Mr. Patel further added, “We look forward to analyzing open label data, which may include injection site reactions, delayed type hypersensitivity testing, and immune response data as they become available by HLA type. The objective, although there is no assurance that any of this will be possible, is to assess how Flamingo-01 is progressing compared to the Phase IIb trial, where no recurrences were observed in the GP2 treated patients as previously reported. Along the way, the treatment of patients of different HLA types and the use of new T cell identification technologies may provide additional insights into GP2’s mechanism of action and market potential, including potential additional intellectual property for the Company.”

Commercial Manufacturing & New Intellectual Property

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company initiated commercial manufacturing activities, which, if successful, would lead to the completion of the first 3 commercial lots of GP2 active ingredient in 2023 and which in total could be used to prepare approximately 200,000 doses of GP2. These commercial lots would be submitted to the FDA in the US and other regulatory agencies in Europe when a marketing application is filed seeking approval to sell GP2 in these respective locations.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, a new patent application was filed with regards to the use of GP2 in an immune response assay that could be used as a biomarker. Plans are in place to potentially file additional patent applications with regards to the use of GP2 in treating patients and with regards to GP2 manufacturing, pharmacy, or injection processes.

Komen® Race for Cure, and an interview of CEO Patel aired on Bloomberg (view here). The corporate presentation has also been updated, and the webcast will be updated shortly (view here).

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/neu 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. 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 100 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.

About Breast Cancer and HER2/neu Positivity

One in eight U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over her lifetime, with approximately 282,000 new breast cancer patients and 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in 2021. HER2/neu (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) protein is a cell surface receptor protein that is expressed in a variety of common cancers, including in 75% of breast cancers at low (1+), intermediate (2+), and high (3+ or over-expressor) levels.

About Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc.

Greenwich LifeSciences is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of GP2, an immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences in patients who have previously undergone surgery. GP2 is a 9 amino acid transmembrane peptide of the HER2/neu protein, a cell surface receptor protein that is expressed in a variety of common cancers, including expression in 75% of breast cancers at low (1+), intermediate (2+), and high (3+ or over-expressor) levels. In a completed randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center Phase IIb clinical trial led by MD Anderson Cancer Center, no recurrences were observed in patients treated with GLSI-100 in the HER2/neu 3+ adjuvant setting after median 5 years of follow-up, if the patients were treated, followed, and remained disease free over the first 6 months, which is the time required to reach peak immunity and thus maximum efficacy and protection (p = 0.0338). For the 146 patients who have been treated with GLSI-100 to date over 4 clinical trials, treatment was well tolerated and no serious adverse events were observed related to the immunotherapy. Greenwich LifeSciences is planning to commence a Phase III clinical trial using a similar treatment regime as the Phase IIb clinical trial.

About GP2 Immunotherapy Immune Response

As previously reported, GP2 immunotherapy generated GP2-specific immune responses, leading to no metastatic breast cancer recurrence in the HER2/neu 3+ population in the Phase IIb clinical trial, thus supporting GP2’s mechanism of action. Statistically significant peak immunity was reached after 6 months of GP2 treatment, as measured in both the Dimer Binding Assay and the DTH skin test. HER2/neu 3+ population immune response was similar to the HER2/neu 1-2+ population immune response, suggesting the potential to treat the HER2/neu 1-2+ population (including triple negative breast cancer) with GP2 immunotherapy in combination with trastuzumab (Herceptin) based products and other clinically active agents. The broad based immune response suggests the potential for GP2 to treat other HER2/neu 1-3+ expressing cancers.
