[{"type":"text","content":"STAFFORD, Texas, Jan. 14, 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 initiation of clinical sites in Germany. The Company has partnered with GBG (German Breast Group), the largest academic breast cancer research network in Germany, where approximately 38 sites have agreed to participate in FLAMINGO-01. Most of the sites have been approved by German authorities which has led to start-up activity in 2024, and the remaining sites are currently under review. The GBG Forschungs GmbH, which operates in tandem with the German Breast Group, is renowned as one of the world's leading breast cancer research organizations. With more than 67,000 study participants and 3,500 new patients per year, GBG is the largest breast cancer study group in Germany, consisting of more than 1,000 doctors in over 800 centers. In 2023, GBG published 64 research articles with a cumulative impact factor of 1,291, showcasing the high quality, cutting-edge research being conducted. More information on GBG can be found at https://www.gbg.de/en/. According to the latest data collected by the European Cancer Information System (click here), a total of 75,267 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in Germany in 2022, which is the most common cancer diagnosed in women, representing approximately 29% of all cancers in women. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in women in Germany with 20,601 deaths in 2022. Professor Sibylle Loibl, who serves on the FLAMINGO-01 Steering Committee, expressed her excitement about the partnership, stating \"We are pleased to collaborate with Greenwich LifeSciences on this important immunotherapy study. With a focus on HER2+ high-risk patients who have not achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR), but also those pCR patients who are having a high-risk of relapse despite achieving a pCR, based on GBG data (von Mackelenbergh 2023), this trial has the potential to further improve our understanding of preventing breast cancer recurrences and improving patient outcomes. We are also very pleased that the first patient from Germany was randomized and treated in October 2024.\...
