Oncolytics Biotech Inc T.ONC

Alternate Symbol(s):  ONCY

Oncolytics Biotech Inc. is a clinical-stage 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 responses to treat a variety of cancers. This improves the ability of the immune system to fight cancer, making tumors more susceptible to a broad range of oncology treatments. The Company’s primary focus is to advance its programs in hormone receptor-positive / human epidermal growth factor 2- negative (HR+/HER2-) metastatic breast cancer and advanced/metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma to registration-enabling clinical studies.

Generic version of Pfizer's CDK4,6 inhibitor launched

Generic version of Pfizer's CDK4,6 inhibitor launched January 11, 2023 - "Sun Pharmaceutical Industries has launched the generic version of Pfizer's breast cancer medicine palbociclib (CDK4,6 inhibitor-Ibrance) in India on January 11. The entry of the generic medicine became possible after Pfizer's Indian patent on the product expired this month. The generic versions of the drug are also being readied by a handful of other Indian companies like Cipla and Dr Reddy's, and the price of the medicine is likely to come down significantly in the coming days, industry experts said."

This is the beginning of a series of patent losses that Big Pharma is set to face. 

In contrast, ONCY's pelareorep is an innovative and novel "Phase 3 ready" biologic that can potentially acheve an accelerated approval and work to off-set several Big Pharma patent losses when combined with some of those soon to be off-patent drugs such as Pfizer's CDK4,6 inhibitor Ibrance.  Furthermore, as a biologic ONCY's pelareorep is eligible for the FDA's 13 years of market exclusivity from the day of the marketing approval is granted.
