Oncolytics Biotech Inc T.ONC

Alternate Symbol(s):  ONCY

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 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 phase 3 licensure-enabling studies. In addition, it is exploring opportunities for registrational programs in other gastrointestinal cancers through its GOBLET platform study.

The majority of my posts have been removed once again .... and this is one example of one of them:

This study rationale is the reason for the timeline on the 3 studies as the AWARE-1 and BRACELET-1 were undertaken to validate the findings of the IND-213 study which demonstrated that pelareorep + paclitaxel doubled overall survival in a specific subset of mBC patients which turned out to be HR+/ HER2 Negative mBC patients. The AWARE-1 study confirmed the doublet effect and went on to identify a biomarker which would determined which patients would also benefit from the addition of a checkpoint inhibitor. The BRACELET-1 study is confirming all of the above while the pancreatic cancer study demonstrated how pelareorep turns a cold tumor hot for immune checkpoint addition in breast cancer which is another cold tumor.

Unfortunately some confused puppies here don't understand this.


Overall survival rate was not one of the endpoints of the pancreatic study. The rationale for the pancreatic trial was based on the following:

• In prior studies, pelareorep and pembrolizumab did not add
significant toxicity to chemotherapy and showed
encouraging efficacy in second line PDAC patients1
• Prior studies in first-line PDAC achieved encouraging 1 & 2
year-survival rates of 46% & 24%, respectively with
chemotherapy and pelareorep treatment2
• On-treatment biopsies have shown that pelareorep induces
an inflammatory phenotype in the tumor micro-environment
that facilitates synergy with checkpoint blockade therapy
(see pelareorep mechanism of action, Fig 1)1,3,4
• hypothesis was that pelareorep in combination with
pembrolizumab in patients with PDAC would lead to
improved responses and anti-tumor immunological
changes within peripheral blood and tumor biopsies in
responding patients.

The announced data came from this phase 2 trial evaluating pelareorep in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients who progressed after first-line treatment. Findings from the trial indicated that pelareorep and pembrolizumab synergize and showed anti-cancer activity in these difficult-to-treat patients, which is mediated through the complementary immunotherapeutic effects of the two agents.

Key data and conclusions that were presented at ASCO 2021 were :

- Disease control was achieved in 42% (5/12) of patients, with one patient achieving a partial response and four patients achieving stable disease
- On-treatment tumor biopsies showed pelareorep replication and increased infiltration of CD8+ T cells and PD-L1+ cells relative to pre-treatment samples
- Patients achieving disease control showed reductions in pro-tumor regulatory T (Treg) cells in the peripheral blood and tumor tissue compared to those with progressive disease
- Patients achieving disease control showed increased activation of anti-cancer CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood compared to those with progressive disease
- Pelareorep-pembrolizumab combination therapy was found to be well tolerated, with most treatment-related adverse events being grade 1 or 2

ONCY's PR included the following:

"The findings from this study highlight the broad applicability of pelareorep's immunotherapeutic mechanism of action as they are consistent with what has been seen in clinical trials in other indications such as breast cancer," added Thomas Heineman, M.D., Ph.D., Global Head of Clinical Development and Operations at Oncolytics. "The compelling findings from this phase 2 study highlight the potential of pelareorep to address the critical unmet need in pancreatic cancer by reversing the immunosuppressive TMEs that often limit the efficacy of checkpoint inhibitors. The anti-cancer activity demonstrated in this study bodes well for a successful outcome in our GOBLET trial, which includes a cohort evaluating pelareorep and the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab in combination with chemotherapy as first-line therapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients."

    @L - I think the puppies understand everything you post very well. But the point you seem to be missing, is that despite turning cold tumors hot... there is as yet, NO data proving extension of life, above control. IND-213 demonstrated this, but didn't include TME data to prove the mode of action.

    And as you can see from the stock price, no-one else seems particularly excited by your daily repetition of the same thing.

    Yeah yeah, we get it, Pela turns cold tumors hot. It's exactly what we need.

    Now explain why the stock price is not reflecting this unique technology... and never has ?

    L both you and ONCY management are making efforts to convince the market that there is something there but as has been the case for years the market and so far BP is deaf to the pontifications. This is apparent when it comes to the questions asked and only two respond. If the product is as good as they would like us to believe big pharma would be breaking the door down to get a piece of the action but hence this is not happening and ONCY management continue with their dog and pony show hoping to convince the market at least that there is in fact value. Without a partner signing no one is going to buy, plain and simple.

    @L...perhaps the moderator has lost money in your Ponzi scheme? Just a thought.

    @Uber by your observation then, the moderators of this ONCY Yahoo.com message board have a vendetta and lack the impartiality expected on other message boards.
