Bullboard - Stock Discussion Forum Oncolytics Biotech Inc ONCY


Primary Symbol: T.ONC

Oncolytics Biotech Inc. is a biotechnology company. The Company is focused on developing pelareorep, an intravenously delivered immunotherapeutic agent that activates the innate and adaptive immune systems and weakens tumor defense mechanisms. This compound induces anti-cancer immune responses and promotes an inflamed tumor phenotype turning cold tumors hot through innate and adaptive immune... see more

CD8+ TiLs and T-cell exhaustion

CD8+ TiL cells are critical mediators of cytotoxic effector function in cancer, however, in cancer, CD8+ TiL cells undergo a progressive loss of cytokine production and cytotoxicity, a state termed T-cell exhaustion as well as T-cell dysfuntion, resulting in a failure of T-cells to eradicate tumor cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME).

Also, high levels of PD-1 expression contribute to the characteristic dysfunction seen in exhausted CD8
+ TiL cells. Correspondingly, in human tumors, a higher proportion of progenitor exhausted cells was associated with a greater likelihood of response to checkpoint blockade. While PD-1 blockade therapies have been successful in multiple tumor types, their effectiveness has been limited to between 10-20% of the patients treated. 

Results from ONCY's AWARE-1 study showed that pelareorep treatment upregulated tumor PD-L1 expression, induced the generation and expansion of T cell clones, promoted tumor infiltration of CD8+ TiL cells, and increased the CelTIL score, a measure of tumor cellularity and inflammation associated with favorable clinical outcomes. Besides being able to overcome an immunosuppressive TME, pelareorp is a critical 'facilitator' in 'priming' the adaptive immune system in advance of PD-1 blockade, thus turning a 'cold' tumor into a 'hot' tumor that is more much conducive for PD-1 blockade, and a more effective I/O therapy than either agent alone.

ONCY's ASCO 2024 abstract provides additional support for pelareorep’s immunotherapeutic mechanism of action by describing its ability to stimulate the expansion of pre-existing and new TIL clones in the blood, which correlate with treatment response. These results build upon previously reported data from the AWARE-1 study in breast cancer to expand our understanding of pelareorep’s ...more

Why is it when a company like MDNA releases news about an upcoming presentation, the share price leaps forward.  When ONC provides information about upcoming presentations, the market looks at it as a non event?

March 16, 2024 -  Further to ONCY's ASCO 2024 poster presentation ... " there has been a growing emphasis on the development of “liquid biopsy” derived biomarkers, which offer a minimally invasive means to dynamically monitor the immune status of [cancer] patients either before and/or during the course of treatment."

ONCY's CD8+-TiLs biomarkers are determined through a minimally invasive "liquid biopsy" accomplished with a simple "blood draw" and is significantly easier to administer as a blood-based predictive diagnostic to determine biomarker levels in contrast to the present use of "tissue biopsies" that requires the invasive removal of a peice of tissue or cells to ...more

Respect your , in what seems incredible understanding of all biological processes which relate to the incredibly complex cancer stuff. Yes, I said stuff, because it is fascinating and confusing and I'm sure most here say.... what does that mean. Your files and library are apparently at a fingers touch and is beyond any organizational attempt I might try. My point..... to this extreme and ...more

Do you remember when Matt Coffey said that pelareorep was the "Swiss Army Knife" of immunotherapy? Well I have taken the time to explain the fundamentals of what this Swiss Army knife can do and how it can do it with other immuno-oncology agents such as immune checkpoint inhibitors, bispecifics, ADCs, CAR-T therapies and small molecules such as CDK4/6, P13KCA and PARP inhibitors, for ...more

And do you remember how pelareorep's effectiveness could serve as a predictive diagnostic to the synergistic addition immune checkpoint inhibitors for an effective immuno-oncology combination therapy ? Well I have tried to explain how and why ONCY has an advantage that few other oncology companies have and to educate the naysayers on this novel, innovative and effective therapy.

" Patients with early-stage triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) who had breast tissue with more tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) and did not receive adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy had significantly better survival, according to findings from a study published in JAMA."  https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/survival-outcomes-improve-with-til-presence-in-tnbc

What is of particular matter is pelareorep ability to expand new and existing TiLs in the blood and tumor cell, resulting in enhanced T cell killing of the pelareorep infected cancer cells, resulting from pelareorep's stimulation of the innate and adaptive immune system, and the overcoming of T cell exhaustion, that T cell expanders (I.e.BiTes) are seeking to achieve. Clonal T cell expansion  ...more

Pelareorep driven blood TIL expansion in patients with pancreatic, breast and colon cancer. Identification of TIL clones was performed by immunosequencing of the CDR3 regions of human T-cell receptor-b (TCRb) chains (ImmunoSEQ Assay, Adaptive Biotechnologies). DNA was isolated from tissue and blood at baseline and from blood collected posttreatment. TCRb CDR3 regions were amplified by a multiplex ...more

Many tumors prevent stem-like T cells from generating cytotoxic T cells in the tumor that could attack the cancer. Current immunotherapies aim to prevent the cancer from switching off immune responses at a later phase that cause T cell exhaustion. Checkpoint inhibitor therapies, for example, aim to release the blockade of fully differentiated cytotoxic T cells and "switch them back on" ...more

" Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs): These lymphocytes primarily comprise cytotoxic (CD8+) and helper (CD4+) T cells and a smaller proportion of B and NK cells. Their functions can dynamically change throughout tumor progression and in response to anticancer therapy. The presence of lymphocytes in tumors is often associated with a better clinical outcome " - ( Luigi ...more

Biden campaign now passing out and posting flyers at the border,  instructing illegals "to make sure they vote for President Biden to make sure the border stays open"......this is being done through a so-called "NGO, or a "Non Government Organization", and I know it's a real shocker, but both the NGO and the Biden campaign deny any involvement with posting the ...more
