The Company’s application to European regulators has been formally approved, adding Ireland as an approved country in FLAMINGO-01 in addition to Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, and the US.
According to the latest data collected by the European Cancer Information System (click here), a total of 3,723 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in Ireland in 2022, which is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, representing approximately 30% of all cancers in women. Breast cancer is the 2nd leading cause of death from cancer in women in Ireland with 883 deaths in 2022.
The Company is collaborating with Dr. Janice Walshe, who will be serving as the national principal investigator in Ireland for FLAMINGO-01. She is a key member of Cancer Trials Ireland research group ensuring access to novel agents and research opportunities for Irish women affected by breast cancer. Through the clinical research clinic in St Vincent’s University Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, she has served as national principal investigator for many important international trials in breast cancer. She served as a three-year member of ASCO (Free ASCO Whitepaper) Scientific Program Committee in triple negative breast cancer from 2013-2015. Her research has been presented at numerous international meetings and published in prestigious peer reviewed journals.
CEO Snehal Patel commented, "We have visited St. Vincent’s multiple times over the past few years, once to present GP2 and FLAMINGO-01 at their conference and most recently to train the study team. We have also been approached by Irish breast cancer patients who wish to participate in FLAMINGO -01 and who can now be considered for enrollment through the Dublin site."
About FLAMINGO-01 and GLSI-100
FLAMINGO-01 (NCT05232916) is a Phase III clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GLSI-100 (GP2 + GM-CSF) in HER2 positive breast cancer patients who had residual disease or high-risk pathologic complete response at surgery and who have completed both neoadjuvant and postoperative adjuvant trastuzumab based treatment. The trial is led by Baylor College of Medicine and currently includes US and European clinical sites from university-based hospitals and academic and cooperative networks with plans to open up to 150 sites globally. In the double-blinded arms of the Phase III trial, approximately 500 HLA-A*02 patients will be randomized to GLSI-100 or placebo, and up to 250 patients of other HLA types will be treated with GLSI-100 in a third arm. The trial has been designed to detect a hazard ratio of 0.3 in invasive breast cancer-free survival, 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.

About Breast Cancer and HER2/neu Positivity
One in eight U.S. women will develop invasive breast cancer over her lifetime, with approximately 300,000 new breast cancer patients and 4 million breast cancer survivors. HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) protein is a cell surface receptor protein that is expressed in a variety of common cancers, including in 75% of breast cancers at low (1+), intermediate (2+), and high (3+ or over-expressor) levels.
