In recent positive news, BriaCell Therapeutics has made significant progress in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. A Phase 2 clinical trial of its Bria-IMT regimen showed a notable improvement in progression-free survival, which was recognized by H.C. Wainwright, maintaining a Buy rating for the company and adjusting its price target to $15.00.
Moreover, an Expanded Access Program for Bria-IMT has been approved by the FDA, expected to expand the patient pool treated with Bria-IMT and potentially providing additional patient efficacy data alongside the ongoing Phase 3 trial. H.C. Wainwright’s optimism is reinforced by recent analysis of the Phase 2 study’s overall survival data.
Briacell also announced a partnership with BeiGene (NASDAQ:BGNE), Ltd. to start a clinical trial for a new cancer treatment involving Bria-OTS, Briacell’s novel immunotherapy. However, the company recently received a non-compliance notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market due to its share price falling below the minimum bid price. The deadline to rectify this issue is February 18, 2025.
