Key Figures
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 27 | Cash/ATM update | Neutral | +9.6% | Updated cash burn, 2025 ATM proceeds and early 2026 cash position. |
| Jan 22 | FDA trial supply | Positive | +5.7% | FDA approved use of commercially manufactured GP2 vials in FLAMINGO-01. |
| Dec 29 | Insider lock-up | Positive | +19.8% | Extended director and officer lock-up to support FLAMINGO-01 through 2026. |
| Dec 22 | Trial/corporate update | Positive | +2.7% | Expanded FLAMINGO-01 footprint, DSMB reviews, protocol and cash-burn commentary. |
| Dec 15 | Clinical data update | Positive | -3.9% | Preliminary ~80% reduction in recurrence in an open-label FLAMINGO-01 arm. |
24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
GLSI has mostly traded higher on recent news, especially operational and regulatory updates, with one notable divergence on strong clinical data.
Over the last few months, GLSI updates have centered on the FLAMINGO-01 Phase III trial and financing. A Dec 15, 2025 preliminary analysis reported an ~80% recurrence rate reduction but saw a negative reaction. Subsequent news on trial operations, insider lock-up extension, and an FDA decision on commercial GP2 use all drew positive price moves. January’s cash burn and ATM update also lifted shares. Today’s AACR abstract acceptance continues this pattern of trial-focused milestones.

About FLAMINGO-01 Open Label Phase III Data
More than 1,000 patients have been screened with a current screen rate of approximately 600 patients per year. The 250 patient non-HLA-A*02 arm is now fully enrolled, where all patients received GLSI-100, which is 5 times more treated patients and recurrence rate data than the approximately 50 patients treated in the Phase IIb trial. The Primary Immunization Series (PIS), which includes the first 6 GLSI-100 injections over the first 6 months and is required to reach peak protection, is followed by 5 booster injections given every 6 months to prolong the immune response, thereby providing longer-term protection.
- In the non-HLA-A*02 arm, a preliminary analysis of recurrence rates after the PIS is completed shows an approximately
80% reduction in recurrence rate. - This observation is trending similarly to the Phase IIb trial results and hazard ratio where HLA-A*02 patients were treated and where breast cancer recurrences were reduced up to
80% compared to a 20-50% reduction in recurrence rate by other approved products. - The immune response at baseline prior to any GLSI-100 treatment, the increasing immune response during the PIS, and the safety profile of non-HLA-A*02 patients is trending similarly to the HLA-A*02 arms of FLAMINGO-01 and to the Phase IIb study.
Analysis of the open label data from FLAMINGO-01 has been conducted in a manner that maintains the study blind. The open label recurrence rate, immune response, and safety data is based on the patients enrolled to date in FLAMINGO-01 and the data provided by the clinical sites so far, which is not completed or fully reviewed, and is thus preliminary. While comparing any preliminary FLAMINGO-01 data to the Phase IIb clinical trial data may be possible, these preliminary results are not a prediction of future results, and the results at the end of the study may differ.
About GLSI-100 Phase IIb Study
In the prospective, randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled, multi-center (16 sites led by MD Anderson Cancer Center) Phase IIb clinical trial of HLA-A*02 breast cancer patients, 46 HER2/neu 3+ over-expressor patients were treated with GLSI-100, and 50 placebo patients were treated with GM-CSF alone. After 5 years of follow-up, there was an
80% or greater reduction in metastatic breast cancer recurrence rate over 5 years of follow-up with a peak immune response at 6 months and well-tolerated safety profile.- The PIS elicited a potent immune response as measured by local skin tests and immunological assays.
About FLAMINGO-01 and GLSI-100
FLAMINGO-01 (NCT05232916) is a Phase III clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Fast Track designated 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 and European clinical sites from university-based hospitals and academic and cooperative networks with plans to open up to 150 sites globally. In the double-blinded arms of the Phase III trial, approximately 500 HLA-A*02 patients are planned to be randomized to GLSI-100 or placebo, and up to 250 patients of other HLA types are planned to 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
