According to Thursday's news release, the patient received the lowest dose level under the study, showing 'the potentially promising activity of the Bria-OTS platform as monotherapy.' Leadership insights
'Despite recent advancements with antibody-drug-conjugates and immune check point inhibitors, many patients, including those with hormone-receptor-positive (HR+) disease, like BriaCell's first OTS patient, have very few options,' Neal S. Chawla, director at the Sarcoma Oncology Center, Santa Monica, California, and principal investigator for the Bria-OTS study, said in a statement. 'We are thrilled with our initial data with single agent Bria-OTS showing rapid and strong anti-tumor activity in an HR+ patient and look forward to continuing this novel approach in patients with metastatic breast cancer and other cancers.'
'This unprecedented anti-cancer response in the first patient dosed with Bria-OTS is an important milestone for us and provides early validation of BriaCell's personalized immunotherapy approach,' added William V. Williams, BriaCell's president and chief executive officer. About BriaCell Therapeutics

Headlines Latest News Podcasts (new window) Home International Armed Conflicts Jordan is helping to airdrop Canadian aid, foreign affairs minister says Palestinians rush to collect humanitarian aid airdropped into Zawaida in the central Gaza Strip on Thursday. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said Jordan facilitated the airdrop. Photo: Associated Press / Abdel Kareem Hana Dylan Robertson (new window) · The Canadian Press Canadian aid is being airdropped into Gaza a day after Ottawa announced its intention to recognize Palestinian statehood. Israel has slightly loosened its tight restrictions on food and medicine reaching the Gaza Strip in response to an international outcry over starvation in the Palestinian territory. After hundreds were shot dead at Israeli-run aid sites, Ottawa and Canadian charities urged Israel to allow truckloads of aid into Gaza to be distributed through the United Nations. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says Jordan is helping to airdrop Canadian aid and has posted a photo of pallets with Canadian flags taped to them. Prime Minister Mark Carney yesterday cited (new window) Israel's aid restrictions and the need to preserve a path to a two-state solution as reasons for declaring that Canada would officially recognize the State of Palestine.
