  • Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. announced the expansion of its Phase III FLAMINGO-01 clinical trial to Portugal following formal approval from European regulators.
  • Portugal joins Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Ireland, and the US as approved countries for the trial evaluating GLSI-100 for preventing breast cancer recurrences.
  • In 2022, Portugal recorded 9,065 new breast cancer cases, representing 30% of all cancers in women, with 2,211 deaths making it the leading cause of cancer-related mortality for women in the country.
  • Luís António Marques da Costa, MD, PhD, was appointed as the national principal investigator in Portugal; he serves as Head of the Clinical Translational Oncology Research Unit at the Institute of Molecular Medicine in Lisbon.
  • CEO Snehal Patel stated that site activation is underway in Lisbon, with additional sites in central and northern Portugal currently under review.
  • FLAMINGO-01 (NCT05232916) assesses the safety and efficacy of GLSI-100 in HER2-positive breast cancer patients with residual disease or high-risk pathologic complete response after standard treatment.
  • The trial aims to randomize approximately 500 HLA-A*02 patients to GLSI-100 or placebo, with up to 250 patients of other HLA types treated in a third arm, targeting 150 global sites.
  • Greenwich LifeSciences is developing GP2, a 9 amino acid transmembrane peptide of the HER2 protein designed to prevent recurrences in patients who have undergone surgery.
