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.

G12D/G12V KRAS mutation in PC & CRC patients respond to Pela

G12D/G12V KRAS mutation in PC & CRC patients respond to PelaThe KRAS G12D mutation is present in more than one in three pancreatic cancers, about one in ten colorectal cancers, and in several other cancer types.

Mutations in both KRAS and TP53 genes are found in around 80% and 70% of all human pancreatic cancers respectively.

Mutant KRAS, found in 95% of pancreatic cancers, leads to an activated protein that aberrantly triggers many downstream signaling pathways. Mutant TP53 results in the loss of the proteins’ tumor suppressor function, leaving the mutant protein capable of fueling additional oncogenic processes, such as metastasis.

ONCYs pelareorep demonstrates to be effective in the knockdown of both KRAS (G12D/G12V KRAS mutations) and p53 gene activity, and ultimately effective in the treatment of pancreatic and GI cancers

More than half the CRC patients that responded to pelareorep had either a G12V or a G12D mutation (exon 2, codon 12, KRAS gene).
