Kazia Therapeutics Announces the Filing of Provisional Patent for Novel Strategy, Supported by Preclinical Data, to Prevent Metastatic Recurrence in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

SYDNEY, July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kazia Therapeutics Limited (NASDAQ: KZIA), an oncology-focused biotechnology company developing therapies that reprogram cancer biology, restore anti-tumor immunity and overcome treatment resistance, announced the filing of a provisional patent application supporting a novel therapeutic strategy designed to prevent metastatic recurrence in patients with high-risk early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

The patent filing is supported by new preclinical findings from a model designed to replicate high-risk early-stage TNBC. In the model, standard treatment —neoadjuvant chemotherapy, anti-PD-1 immunotherapy and surgical resection — followed by adjuvant paxalisib reduced residual disease and local recurrence by 95% (p<0.0001) and lung metastatic burden by 40% (p<0.027).
