Yahoo3 days ago
PHILADELPHIA and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (Nasdaq: BCTX, BCTXW, BCTXZ) (TSX: BCT) ('BriaCell' or the 'Company'), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel immunotherapies to transform cancer care, is pleased to announce the addition of a key clinical site, Mayo Clinic, to its ongoing pivotal Phase 3 clinical study (ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT06072612) in metastatic breast cancer.
BriaCell's Phase 3 study now has 69 active clinical sites across 15 states, including Mayo Clinic, DHR Health Oncology Institute, Hematology Oncology Associates of Fredericksburg, Los Angeles Cancer Network, Manhattan Hematology/Oncology Associates, New York Cancer & Blood Specialists, Northwestern University, Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale New Haven, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Texas Oncology-Baylor Charles A. Sammons Cancer Center, and University of Arizona.
'We are very excited to be working with renowned clinical experts at a leading cancer center like Mayo Clinic, who also participated in BriaCell's Phase 2 study,' stated Dr. Giuseppe Del Priore, BriaCell's Chief Medical Officer. 'We strongly believe that our novel immunotherapy has the potential to transform cancer care for patients and their families.'
BriaCell's pivotal Phase 3 clinical study is evaluating BriaCell's lead clinical candidate, Bria-IMT™, plus immune check point inhibitor (CPI) versus physician's choice in advanced metastatic breast cancer (Bria-ABC).
Interim data will be analyzed once 144 patient events (deaths) occur, comparing the overall survival (OS) in patients treated with the Bria-IMT combination regimen versus those treated with physician's choice as the primary endpoint. BriaCell recently (ASCO 2025) announced positive Phase 2 survival data in a similar MBC patient population treated with the same Bria-IMT combination regimen. The Bria-IMT combination regimen has received FDA Fast Track designation.

Targeting Macrophages in Peritoneal Colorectal Cancer

This transcript has been edited for clarity. Hello. I'm David Kerr, professor of cancer medicine from University of Oxford. I'd like to talk today about peritoneal carcinomatosis and some of the underpinning biology that makes this such a dismally prognostic feature of advanced or metastatic colorectal cancer. There's a fantastic group out of the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam with Louis Vermeulen and his colleague, Dr Grootjans, the group leaders there, who've done some lovely work in dissecting the immune microenvironment of peritoneal deposits. They discovered that peritoneal resident macrophages constitute, or create, a very immunosuppressive environment in metastatic peritoneal colorectal cancer. It's difficult to treat. If we look at response rates to conventional chemotherapy, the response rate is one third in the peritoneum compared to that in the liver or lungs. I've often long considered it a pharmacologic sanctuary site. Perhaps it's to do with drug access, drug distribution, and so on. They've shown, using a mixture of biopsies from patients and in some compelling mouse models, that these resident macrophages play a very important role in suppressing the immune microenvironment. Of course, they've characterized the macrophages very carefully. We can see the immunosuppressive cytokines, like interleukin-10 and VEGF, so that the whole story is very plausible. Equally as important, in a very relevant mouse model of peritoneal metastasis, they showed that this immunosuppressive phenotype can be reversed by using a CSF1 receptor antagonist. This is of interest to me because for a long while, we were interested in a very rare tumor type called tenosynovial giant cell tumor, which can be treated very successfully with CSF1 receptor inhibitors. These drugs exist. They've been approved for the treatment of that very rare macrophage-driven disease, and it looks as if, building on the biology demonstrated by this excellent Amsterdam group, there may be a therapeutic intervention that we could make that's rational and based on depleting these resident macrophages that seem to be the dominant, contributory factor to this rancorous immune microenvironment. This is another opportunity to build on very plausible biology from an outstanding group with drugs that we may already have available. There's a challenge to those who are using the drugs to treat tenosynovial giant cell tumors. Can we actually bring these into the clinic in some way and consider whether we should give the drugs systemically or even locoregionally by giving them intraperitoneally? I think that would be a really interesting experiment to do. Have a look at the paper. There are very clever signs, as you would expect, but think about the potential therapeutic implications. You heard it here first. As always, thanks for listening. I'd be very grateful for any comments or anything you might like to add to this. For the time being, as always, Medscapers, over and out.

Capella Provides Update on Agreement with Tümad Madencilik

VANCOUVER, BC, July 18, 2025 /CNW/ - Capella Minerals Ltd (TSXV: CMIL) (OTC Pink: CMILF) (FRA: N7D2) ("Capella" or the "Company") is pleased to provide the following update on the Letter of Intent ("LOI") signed by Turkish mining company, Tümad Madencilik Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S. ("Tümad"), with respect to the staged earn-in proposal for the Company's portfolio of precious and base metal projects in Scandinavia (see Company News Release dated June 2, 2025). Tümad today advised the Company that no material issues have been identified to date and that the Due Diligence process is in its final stages. Both parties are actively working together to move towards closing through the signing of a Definitive Agreement. Tümad currently produces approximately 200,000 ounces of gold per annum from two mining operations located in western Türkiye. This strategic partnership with Capella is expected to provide Tümad with an excellent opportunity to expand its international footprint both within the highly-prospective Scandinavian region and elsewhere. Eric Roth, Capella's President and CEO, commented today: "I am sincerely looking forward to working together with the Tümad team, whose highly respected expertise as mine builders and operators will complement our successful track record in global exploration and discovery. I look forward to ensuring a successful venture going forward for both parties". Private Placement Update The Company wishes to advise that its previously announced private placement of 15,000,000 Units at $0.05 per Unit has been amended to adjust the exercise price of the warrant from $0.10 for two years to and exercise price of $0.075 for a period of two years.
