Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLSI) announced the final 5-year immune response data from its Phase IIb clinical trial at the 2021 AACR Annual Meeting. This data is crucial for developing dosing strategies for GP2, an immunotherapy aimed at preventing breast cancer recurrences. The AACR published the data abstract on April 9, with a poster to be released on April 10. Additional updates on Phase III trial design are expected the week of April 12, and safety data presentations are scheduled for the ASCO conference on June 4.
- Final 5-year immune response data indicates no recurrences in HER2/neu 3+ patients after treatment.
- The Phase IIb trial involved 138 patients, showing GP2 was well tolerated with no serious adverse events.
- None.
Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLSI) (the “Company”), 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, today announced the abstract results of the final 5 year immune response data of the Phase IIb clinical trial at the 2021 AACR Annual Meeting. Immune response is the primary mechanism of action and is critical to developing dosing and booster treatment strategies that are designed to achieve and sustain peak immunity and to prevent metastatic breast cancer recurrences.
The AACR published the Phase IIb final 5 year immune response data abstract on Friday, April 9th and plans to publish the corresponding poster on Saturday, April 10th. The poster, the abstract, and an audio recording will be published by the Company on Saturday, April 10th in a joint press release.
Summary of Additional Upcoming Posters/Press Releases:
Week of April 12th – Press release of the second poster at AACR, co-sponsored by the Company and the Baylor College of Medicine, will provide more details behind the updated design of the planned Phase III clinical trial.
Week of June 4th – The Company will present two abstract/poster presentations at the 2021 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference. The poster presentations will include the final 5 year safety data of the GP2 Phase IIb clinical trial and an introduction to the interim analysis and clinical strategy of the planned Phase III clinical trial.

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. In a randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center (16 sites led by MD Anderson Cancer Center) Phase IIb clinical trial, no recurrences were observed in the HER2/neu 3+ adjuvant setting after median 5 years of follow-up, if the patient received the 6 primary intradermal injections over the first 6 months (p = 0.0338). Of the 138 patients that have been treated with GP2 to date over 4 clinical trials, GP2 treatment was well tolerated and no serious adverse events were observed related to GP2 immunotherapy. Greenwich LifeSciences is planning to commence a Phase III clinical trial using a similar treatment regime as the Phase IIb clinical trial.
