ABOUT BRIACELL
BriaCell is a cancer immunotherapy biotechnology company developing a more targeted, less toxic approach to management of cancer. Immunotherapies have come to the forefront of the fight against cancer, because they harness the body's own immune system in recognizing and selectively destroying the cancer cells, sparing normal ones. Immunotherapies in addition to generally being more targeted and less toxic, have been shown to be more likely to prevent recurrence and are not expected to produce the serious side effects seen with chemotherapy.

BriaVax™, Company's lead product is a genetically engineered whole-cell vaccine derived from a human breast tumor cell line. This highly-targeted vaccine is believed to generate strong antibody and T-cell responses, which in turn may boost the immune system to recognize and eliminate cancerous cells.

The Company has demonstrated unique and unprecedented results, and is intent on building upon these results to further advance BriaVax™ through the FDA Clinical Trials in order to help cancer patients with no other options. The results of two FDA Phase I clinical trials have been encouraging in terms of both safety and efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors (17 breast cancer, 1 ovarian cancer). Most uniquely, BriaCell has achieved these results in patients who had prior failed the available therapies including various kinds of chemotherapy. In some cases, the lifespan was three to five times longer than expected. The results were targeted, with little to no side effects, and were achieved rapidly, with regression occurring within 6 weeks.

Based on the impressive results of earlier clinical trials, BriaCell is preparing to further evaluate the safety and activity of BriaVax™ in an additional Phase I/II study in 24 metastatic breast cancer patients who failed at least one prior treatment. The FDA-approved protocol has provision to allow testing the vaccine in selected patients with other cancers as well, including prostate, ovarian, pancreas, lung and bladder cancers among others. Although the focus of the Company is currently breast cancer, it recognizes that upon further proof of concept, its technology may be applicable to such other cancers as well.
