Greenwich LifeSciences Announces Activation of Flamingo-01 in Poland
STAFFORD, Texas, Jan. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greenwich LifeSciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: GLSI) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on its Phase III clinical trial, FLAMINGO-01, which is evaluating GLSI-100, an immunotherapy to prevent breast cancer recurrences, today announced the activation of clinical sites in Poland.
According to the latest data collected by the European Cancer Information System (), a total of 24,599 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in Poland in 2022, which is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, representing approximately 25% of all cancers in women. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in women in Poland with 8,723 deaths in 2022.
The Company is collaborating with Dr. Piotr Wysocki, who is leading one of the largest academic and private breast cancer research networks in Poland, where 9 to 11 sites have agreed to participate in FLAMINGO-01. These sites were approved by Polish authorities, which has led to site initiation visits and the treatment of the first patient in Poland in 2024.
Dr. Wysocki is Professor of Medicine and Head of Department of Oncology at Jagiellonian University Hospital in Krakow Poland. He has research interests in the development of novel apheresis-based cancer therapies, clinical application of metronomic chemotherapy, metronomic chemo-endocrine and chemo-targeted therapies for the treatment of breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers.
CEO Snehal Patel commented, "Poland has a reputation for large treatment centers with high enrollment and standard of care. We look forward to working with Dr. Wysocki who is serving as the national principal investigator for Poland in FLAMINGO-01. We have been impressed with the sites that we have visited to date. In addition, we may have an opportunity to offer our study to Ukrainians who may have been displaced and now reside in Poland."
The Polish clinical sites will be listed with an interactive map and are shown below.

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 clinical sites from university-based hospitals and cooperative networks with plans to expand into Europe and 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.
