Financial Results:

Total revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 amounted to $593,000, an increase of $83,000, or 16%, compared to $510,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020. The change is mainly attributable to increases in sales milestone revenues of $320,000, product revenues of $70,000, partially offset by a $308,000 decrease in revenues from licensing agreements.

Operating costs and expenses were $2.2 million for the third quarter of 2021, versus $1.9 million for the corresponding three-month period of 2020. The increase for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 is mainly attributable to increases of $26,000 in R&D expense, $255,000 in manufacturing expenses, $37,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses, $17,000 in depreciation of tangible assets.

For the third quarter of 2021, the Company had an operating loss of $1.6 million, compared to an operating loss of $1.4 million for the comparable period of 2020.

Net comprehensive loss for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021 was $2.2 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to net comprehensive loss of $1.6 million, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, for the comparable period of 2020.

The present invention discloses a platform technology for improving the binding affinity of IgG antibodies to FcRn and prolonging their serum half-life. This technology can effectively improve the binding affinity of IgG antibodies to FcRn and prolong their serum half-life. Moreover, the binding affinity of the modified IgG antibodies to the corresponding antigen will not be reduced. Based on this patented technology, Hans Bio has independently developed a number of long-acting monoclonal antibody and bispecific antibody projects, including the long-acting anti-human PD-1 monoclonal antibody HX008.

HX008 (also known as "Putelimab") is a humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody developed by Hans Biotech and its former subsidiary Taizhou Hanzhong Biotech. It uses FcRn modification technology for differentiated design, and transforms the Fc of IgG4 to extend the half-life, reduce the number of dosing, reduce treatment costs, and improve patient drug compliance. The results of Phase I clinical trials show that the half-life of the product is 17-23 days for a single dose, and the half-life can reach 18-38 days after stabilization. Hans Biotech led the pharmaceutical evaluation, preclinical research and development, and early clinical research of the HX008 project. In 2018, Lepu Biotech acquired the controlling stake of Taizhou Hanzhong and obtained the right to market and sell the product.

So far, HX008 has conducted multiple Phase II and Phase III clinical trials. Two of the registration clinical trials: advanced melanoma and multiple advanced solid tumors with MSI-H/dMMR, have been submitted to the NMPA for marketing.

SABCS 2021 will be held in a hybrid in-person and virtual format from December 7-10, 2021. SABCS anticipates publishing the two posters on the evening of December 8, 2021.

Snehal Patel, CEO of Greenwich LifeSciences, commented, "We are thrilled to be presenting our 4th poster of our 5 year Phase IIb data at SABCS, completing a full year of publications. This data is a result of our ongoing data analysis and will speak to the mechanism of GP2 and the potential to use immune response data in novel ways. As a result of our previously published immune response data and this upcoming data, we plan to substantially improve the immune response technology and to increase the frequency of testing and sample collection in our Phase III trial. This data will be published on the 1 year anniversary of our initial poster at SABCS showing the 100% disease free survival or 0% metastatic breast cancer recurrence rate over 5 years of follow-up."

The second abstract and poster will present additional features of the Phase III clinical trial providing information to breast cancer clinicians who will be attending the in-person conference, visiting our poster session, and participating in our first Phase III trial investigator meeting where the global primary investigator and the Company will present the trial to participating clinicians.

About SABCS

The 44th annual SABCS has grown to be the industry’s premier breast cancer conference for basic, translational, and clinical cancer research professionals.

About FLAMINGO-01 and GLSI-100

The Phase III clinical trial will be called FLAMINGO-01 and the combination of GP2 + GM-CSF will be called GLSI-100. The Phase III trial is comprised of 2 blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled arms for approximately 500 HLA-A*02 patients and 1 open label arm of up to 100 patients for all other HLA types. An interim analysis has been designed to detect a hazard ratio of 0.3 in IDFS, where 28 events will be required. An interim analysis for superiority and futility will be conducted when at least half of those events, 14, have occurred. This sample size provides 80% power if the annual rate of events in placebo-treated subjects is 2.4% or greater. The trial is currently being registered on clinicaltrials.gov and the link and trial identifier will be published shortly. For future updates about FLAMINGO-01 please visit the Company’s clinical trial tab at View Source
