- BriaCell expands push in women's health, building on Phase 2 success in advanced metastatic breast cancer
- Bria-OVA+, BriaCell's next generation personalized immunotherapy candidate for ovarian cancer, is designed with additional immune-stimulating components to support enhanced anti-tumor activity
- Ovarian cancer remains the deadliest gynecologic cancer with over 12,000 women expected to die from the disease in 2026 in the U.S.
PHILADELPHIA and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (NASDAQ:BCTX, BCTXL))) (TSX:BCT) ("BriaCell" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel immunotherapies to transform cancer care, announces progress in developing Bria-OVA+, its next generation, personalized, off-the-shelf, cell-based immunotherapy for ovarian cancer.
BriaCell recently reported preclinical data for Bria-BRES+™, its next-generation breast cancer immunotherapy candidate derived from the same Bria-OTS+ platform. In a recent AACR poster presentation, Bria-BRES+ demonstrated activation of both adaptive and innate immunity, including naïve/resting T cells, dendritic cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. BriaCell believes this multipronged immune activation supports the potential of the Bria-OTS+ platform to generate anti-tumor immune responses and may help inform the development of Bria-OVA+ for ovarian cancer.
BriaCell has licensed ovarian cancer cell-lines from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and has commenced development activities to support production of Bria-OVA+ for potential clinical use.
