• Positive results of the pivotal Phase 3 study could result in full approval and marketing authorization for Bria-IMT™
• The study's primary endpoint is overall survival in patients treated with the Bria-IMT™ combination regimen versus those treated with physician's choice
• The study initiation follows FDA Fast Track designation and earlier supportive Phase 2 safety and efficacy data in the same patient population
