Greenwich LifeSciences Flamingo-01 Manufacturing & Protocol Accepted by European Regulators

STAFFORD, Texas, Feb. 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GLSI) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on its Phase III clinical trial, Flamingo-01, which is evaluating GLSI-100, an immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences in patients who have previously undergone surgery, today provided the following update on the expansion of the clinical trial into Europe.

The Company's application to expand Flamingo-01 into Europe has been reviewed by European Medicines Agency (EMA) through EMA's Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS). The Company was informed that the manufacturing, non-clinical, clinical, statistical, and regulatory sections of its application are acceptable and the regulators' requests for information have been addressed. The regulators have thus approved the clinical trial, marking a major milestone for the Company.

The 5 individual countries in Europe will now make a final determination, and if acceptable, they will allow the first group of approximately 105 sites in Europe to begin initiation and activation. Once an individual site has been activated patients can be screened and enrolled.

CEO Snehal Patel commented, "Our interactions with EMA and the 5 participating countries through the CTIS process provided great insight into EMA's expectations for a marketing license application in Europe for GLSI-100. We will continue the dialogue with EMA regulators as we operate Flamingo-01 in Europe, which will help us prepare for an EU licensing application in the future in parallel to filing a BLA in the US."

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 and to open up to 150 sites globally. 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 250 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.
