BriaCell Therapeutics (BCTX) said Wednesday that a phase 2 study of its Bria-IMT regimen with check point inhibitors to treat metastatic breast cancer showed positive survival results.
The study showed a median survival of 17.3 months in certain patients, surpassing the 14.4 months seen for the antibody-drug conjugate treatment Trodelvy, the company said .
For triple-negative breast cancer, the company said Bria-IMT showed survival comparable to Trodelvy but significantly better than chemotherapy, with a 70% improvement.
The drug developer said it plans to further evaluate the results in an ongoing phase 3 trial focused on overall survival.
BriaCell shares rose 27% in recent premarket trading.
