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. In addition, it is exploring opportunities for registrational programs in other gastrointestinal cancers through its GOBLET platform study.

Results of a Phase II

Results of a Phase II"The results demonstrate on an interim basis thatthe treatment has been well tolerated to date, with 8 of 16 evaluablepatients experiencing stable disease for periods ranging from two tomore than ten 28-day cycles. The company had previously announced thatthe third patient treated in the study was demonstrated to have stabledisease by RECIST criteria for more than six months as measured by CTscan."

More on this good news is found on this article:

The stock price rose 7% after the announcement. The article states that when ONCY tests a larger group, the stock can face significant gains or losses.

I think the company will end up showing positive results with a larger group of people. If the drug worked for 8/16 people, obviously it will work for more people when tested. Be prepared to see this stock raise!
