The funds will be used by the company to advance the development of its new personalised off-the-shelf immunotherapies, Bria-OTS, targeting advanced metastatic breast cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer and lung cancer.

BriaCell is integrating 15 different HLA types (molecules) into Bria-IMT, collectively known as Bria-OTS, facilitating the compatibility of over 99% of advanced breast cancer patients.

A simple saliva test helps identify the HLA type of every patient.

BriaCell president and CEO Dr William Williams stated: “There is an urgent need for breakthrough cancer treatments that would improve both survival and quality of life of cancer patients, especially in those with advanced disease.

“Our clinical findings to date show promising top-line survival and quality of life outcomes in patients treated with our personalised immunotherapy.

“We would like to thank NCI for its generous support, recognising the urgency for this unmet medical need, and considering our novel technology, among numerous other applicants, as a treatment that could potentially revolutionise cancer care.”

The NCI award is expected to facilitate non-dilutive funding opportunities in the future.
