Current report
BriaCell Phase 1/2 Study of Bria-OTS™, BriaCell’s personalized off-the-shelf immunotherapy, in metastatic breast cancer is ongoing (listed on ClinicalTrials.gov asNCT06471673). The first patient treated with 4 inoculations of cells (single agent) demonstrated complete resolution of a lung metastasis.
Current report
BriaCell is currently developing Bria-OTS™ and its advanced form, Bria-OTS+™, as a platform technology for personalized off-the-shelf immunotherapies for numerous types of cancer. The Company announced BriaCell has received from the FDA permission to proceed with Phase 1/2a clinical studies of Bria-BRES+™ for breast cancer and Bria-PROS+™ for prostate cancer with open Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs) for both.
Current report
Clinical trial expenses for the year ended July 31, 2026, were $21,787,613, compared to $14,953,296 during the year ended July 31, 2025. The increase reflects sustained investment in the Bria-IMT™ pivotal Phase 3 program and significant advancement of the Bria-OTS™ Phase 1/2a and next-generation Bria-OTS+™ programs, partially offset by lower costs associated with the continued wind-down of the Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2a study. During fiscal 2026, the pivotal Phase 3 study continued to advance through increased patient enrollment, expansion of the clinical-site network, increased clinical-site activity, CRO services, central laboratory testing and clinical supply management as the study progressed toward planned interim analysis.
Current report
For the year ended July 31, 2026, Bria-IMT™ Pivotal Phase 3 Study costs totaled $16,477,598, compared to $13,511,235 in 2025. The increase reflects the continued progression of the pivotal study through an advanced stage of clinical development, including continued patient enrollment, expansion of clinical sites, increased clinical-site activity, CRO services, central laboratory testing and clinical supply management. During fiscal 2026, enrollment in the study surpassed 230 patients and the clinical-site network continued to expand, including the addition of major academic cancer centers and the study’s first Canadian clinical site. Spending levels during the year reflect continued operational execution of the study as it advances toward planned interim analysis.
Current report
For the year ended July 31, 2026, Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2a costs were $706,469, compared to $1,013,828 in 2025. The decrease reflects the continued wind-down of the program following completion of its primary activities. Current-period costs primarily relate to residual close out procedures, data management and limited follow up activities.
Current report
For the year ended July 31, 2026, Bria-OTS™ Phase 1/2a costs totaled $4,603,546, compared to $428,233 in 2025. The substantial increase reflects continued advancement of the Bria-OTS™ program and the Company’s next-generation Bria-OTS+™ platform. Costs incurred during the year included expanded clinical development and manufacturing activities, GMP production of Bria-BRES+™ and Bria-PROS+™, regulatory and analytical support, and operational activities supporting the ongoing Phase 1/2a program and advancement of additional product candidates toward clinical development.
Current report
For the year ended July 31, 2026, general and administrative expenses were $6,817,729, compared to $5,934,125 for the year ended July 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher shareholder communications costs, share-based compensation, and consulting fees, partially offset by lower wages and salaries, insurance expense, regulatory, filing and transfer agent fees, and travel expenses.
Current report
For the year ended July 31, 2026, financial income, net was $601,461, compared to $114,511 for the year ended July 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher interest income, which increased to $633,766 in 2026 from $119,958 in 2025. Unrealized gains on short-term investments were $14,804 in 2026 compared to $56,473 in 2025. Foreign exchange losses decreased to $17,478 in 2026 from $24,941 in 2025, while interest expense decreased to $29,631 from $36,979.
Current report
The Company reported a net loss of $35,325,292 for the year ended July 31, 2026, compared to $26,556,140 for the year ended July 31, 2025. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to higher research, development, and clinical trial expenses and to a lesser extent, general and administrative expenses, together with a lower gain on the change in fair value of the warrant liability. These increases were partially offset by higher financial income, net, and an unrealized gain on investment during 2026.

Previous report
Clinical trial expenses for the year ended July 31, 2025, were $14,953,296, compared to $15,833,879 during the year ended July 31, 2024. The decrease is primarily attributable to the conclusion of the Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2a clinical trial in fiscal 2024, resulting in significantly lower associated costs in 2025. As expenses for the Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2a trial declined, resources were increasingly directed toward the pivotal Phase 3 study, which remains our primary focus. In addition, we began incurring costs related to the Bria-OTS™ Phase 1/2a trial, which commenced in August 2024.
Previous report
For the year ended July 31, 2025, Bria-IMT™ Pivotal Phase 3 Study costs totaled $13,511,235, compared to $11,594,463 in 2024. The increase reflects the progression of the pivotal study, with higher expenditures on patient recruitment, treatment, and data-management activities as the trial advanced through key operational milestones.
Previous report
For the year ended July 31, 2025, Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2a costs were $1,013,828, down from $4,239,415 in 2024, reflecting the conclusion of the study. The remaining expenses primarily relate to final data analysis and study close-out activities.
Previous report
For the year ended July 31, 2025, Bria-OTS™ Phase 1/2a costs totaled $428,233, compared to $nil in 2024, due to the initiation of the Bria-OTS™ Phase 1/2a trial in August 2024.
Previous report
For the year ended July 31, 2025, general and administrative expenses were $5,934,125, compared to $6,152,269 for the year ended July 31, 2024. Expenses remained relatively consistent year over year, with lower consulting, professional fees, and share-based compensation largely offset by higher wages and salaries, travel, and other administrative costs.
Previous report
For the year ended July 31, 2025, finance income, net, was $114,511, compared to $262,566 for the year ended July 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest income, which declined to $176,431 in 2025 from $288,018 in 2024, reflecting reduced average cash balances available for investment. The decrease was further impacted by the recognition of $36,979 in interest expense in 2025 compared to nil in the prior year. Foreign exchange losses were relatively consistent year over year, amounting to $24,941 in 2025 versus $25,452 in 2024.
Previous report
The Company reported a net loss of $26,311,867 for the year ended July 31, 2025, compared to $4,791,466 in 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily due to a significantly smaller gain on the fair value of the warrant liability, which was $758,364 in 2025 compared to $28,242,472 in 2024. This variance outweighed the reduction in research, development, and clinical trial expenses, which decreased from $27,177,807 in 2024 to $21,270,678 in 2025, mainly reflecting lower clinical-trial and investigational-drug costs following the completion of the Bria-IMT™ Phase 1/2a trial.

Previous wording
BriaCell is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is developing novel immunotherapies to transform cancer care. Immunotherapies have come to the forefront in the fight against cancer as they harness the body’s own immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. The Company is currently advancing its Bria-IMT™ targeted immunotherapy in combination with an immune check point inhibitor (Retifanlimab) in a pivotal Phase 3 study in metastatic breast cancer. Bria-IMT™ is currently under Fast Track Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(the “FDA”) intended to accelerate the review process of novel treatments that address unmet medical needs. Positive completion of the pivotal study, following review by FDA, could lead to full approval of the Bria-IMT™ immune checkpoint inhibitor combination in metastatic breast cancer. BriaCell reported benchmark-beating patient survival and clinical benefit in metastatic breast cancer with median overall survival of 13.4 months in BriaCell’s metastatic breast cancer patients vs. 6.7-9.8 months for similar patients reported in the literature in its Phase 2 study of Bria-IMT™ combination study with retifanlimab at the 2023 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. A completed Bria-IMT™ Phase 1 combination study with retifanlimab (an anti-PD1 antibody manufactured by Incyte) confirmed tolerability and early-stage efficacy. BriaCell is also developing personalized off-the-shelf immunotherapies, Bria-OTS™ and Bria-OTS+™, which provides a platform technology to develop personalized off-the-shelf immunotherapies for numerous types of cancer, and a soluble CD80 protein therapeutic which acts both as a stimulator of the immune system as well as an immune checkpoint inhibitor.

Previous wording
Historically, the Company has financed its operation through private and public placement of equity securities, as well as debt financing. The Company’s ability to fund its longer-term cash requirements is subject to multiple risks, many of which are beyond its control. The Company intends to raise additional capital, either through debt or equity financings in order to achieve its business plan objectives. Management believes that it can be successful in obtaining additional capital; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. There is no assurance that any funds raised will be sufficient to enable the Company to attain profitable operations or continue as a going concern. To the extent that the Company is unsuccessful, the Company may need to curtail or cease its operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful. To this end, for several months during calendar year 2025, certain directors and officers agreed to defer payment of their directors’ fees/compensation until we completed a financing, after which, these fees were paid in full. Further, certain officers have indicated their willingness to receive a portion of their compensation in shares of the Company, subject to applicable Nasdaq rules. In addition, we continue to reduce expenditure on certain non-core activities whilst maintaining our focus on our Phase 3 Bria-IMT™ pivotal study in advanced metastatic breast cancer.
