BriaCell to Present Phase 2 Survival & Phase 3 Clinical Data at SABCS® 2025
Rhea-AI Summary
BriaCell (Nasdaq: BCTX) will present three posters at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS) on December 10, 2025, reporting positive Phase 2 survival and Phase 3 biomarker data.
A pooled interim analysis of 116 patients with MHC subtyping in the ongoing pivotal Phase 3 showed an excellent safety profile, improved PFS in HR+/HER2- and HER2-low subtypes, and NLR as a potential biomarker. Phase 1/2 data in 54 metastatic breast cancer patients reported continued overall survival benefit and DTH as a possible predictive biomarker. Cytokine analysis of 30 patients suggests Th1-biased signatures may predict response. An interim Phase 3 analysis is expected in 1H2026.
Positive
- Pooled interim analysis includes 116 patients
- Improved PFS reported in HR+/HER2- and HER2-low subtypes
- Phase 1/2 54-patient cohort shows continued overall survival benefit
- Identification of multiple potential biomarkers: NLR, DTH, Th1 cytokines
- Interim Phase 3 analysis expected in 1H2026
Negative
- Key data are interim or maturing, not final readouts
- Small cohort sizes: 54 and 30 patients limit statistical conclusiveness
- Phase 3 results dependent on ongoing study and future interim analysis timing

Market Reality Check
Peers on Argus
While BCTX was down 7.9%, several immuno-oncology peers also traded lower: ADAP -17.57%, PRTG -10.39%, CYCC -5.84%, NXTC -3.64%, and IMNN -2.59%, suggesting broader biotech weakness but with no momentum-cluster flag.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 10 | SABCS data update | Positive | -7.9% | Presented Phase 2 survival and Phase 3 biomarker data across three SABCS posters. |
| Dec 09 | Phase 3 enrollment | Positive | -2.1% | Reported Phase 3 enrollment exceeding expectations with interim OS readout targeted for 1H2026. |
| Dec 02 | SABCS presentation plan | Positive | +3.7% | Announced SABCS posters with Phase 2 survival benefit and Phase 3 biomarker signals. |
| Nov 25 | Upcoming SABCS data | Positive | +13.5% | Flagged positive Phase 2/3 clinical and survival data to be highlighted at SABCS 2025. |
| Nov 20 | AI collaboration | Positive | -0.6% | Announced AI-based small-molecule discovery collaboration via BriaPro and Receptor.AI. |
Recent clinically positive headlines often saw mixed or negative price reactions; 3 of the last 5 events with favorable clinical or strategic updates had negative 24-hour moves, indicating a pattern of skepticism or profit-taking on good news.
Over the past few months, BriaCell has repeatedly highlighted progress in its metastatic breast cancer programs. Updates included new Phase 3 site additions and DSMB confirmations of no safety concerns, alongside Fast Track status and multiple SABCS and ESMO biomarker presentations. Clinical-trial news has produced both sharp gains (up to 13.53%) and notable declines (down to -7.9%) within 24 hours. This announcement continues the theme of emphasizing survival and biomarker signals ahead of an interim Phase 3 analysis expected in 1H2026.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement highlights maturing survival data and multiple biomarker readouts that aim to refine patient selection for Bria-IMT-based regimens in metastatic breast cancer. Interim Phase 3 analysis is expected in 1H2026, following prior DSMB reviews and site expansion. Investors may track future updates on overall survival, safety, and validation of markers such as NLR, DTH, and Th1-biased cytokine signatures, alongside any new regulatory filings or capital-related disclosures from the company.

Poster Presentation Date/Time: Wednesday, December 10, 2025, 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Analysis of 35 different blood cytokines/chemokines from 30 patients enrolled in the Phase 1/2 studies of Bria-IMT alone or in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) suggests that Th1 biased cytokines and chemokines may serve as potential predictive biomarkers of clinical responses to the Bria-IMT regimen in metastatic breast cancer
