BriaCell (BCT) has signed an agreement with Waisman Biomanufacturing to manufacture Bria-Pros for BriaCell’s anticipated clinical trial in advanced prostate cancer.

Bria-Pros is a novel off-the-shelf personalized immunotherapy approach to treating prostate cancer. It includes multiple Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-specific immunotherapy cell lines. It will be administered to patients based on each patient’s HLA type. BriaCell has been developing Bria-Pros as a potentially safe and effective personalized immunotherapy treatment for advanced prostate cancer.

Waisman is a leading contract manufacturing organization with experience in the manufacturing of cellular therapies for clinical trials. Under the terms of the agreement, Waisman will be responsible for good manufacturing practice (GMP) manufacturing of Bria-Pros for anticipated use in clinical studies.

Waisman’s expert team will be working closely with BriaCell’s scientific and product development teams to ensure timely production of Bria-Pros and in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements by the FDA.

The company expects to start Phase I/II trial in prostate cancer upon completion of the manufacturing, testing, and the related regulatory filings.

According to 2022 Cancer Facts & Figures, aside from lung cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men. Current treatments for metastatic prostate cancer include immunotherapy, hormone therapy, chemotherapy and targeted treatments. 

BriaCell is an immuno-oncology focused biotechnology company which develops targeted and effective approach to managing cancer.

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (BCT) was up 9.21 per cent, trading at C$8.18 per share at 11:55 am ET.
