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.

A Phase 1a/1b Study of ELVN-001 for the Treatment Chronic Myeloid



The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and determine the recommended dose for further clinical evaluation.


Study Start (Actual) 

2022-05-22


Primary Completion (Estimated) 

2026-12


Study Completion (Estimated) 

2026-12


Enrollment (Estimated) 120 patients


Cohort 1 10/20mg- n=20 patients

Cohort 2 40/80mg- n=20 patients

Cohort 3  80/120mg - n=20 patients


Up to an additional 30 patients may be enrolled at any dose level

that has cleared the 28-day dose limiting toxicity (DLT) window.


ELVN-002 in HER2 Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (HER2)


Brief Summary:


The goal of this clinical trial is to test ELVN-002 in people with cancers that have an abnormal HER2 gene. The main question the trial aims to answer is if ELVN-002 is safe and tolerable at different doses.

There are 4 parts to the trial. Part 1 is a dose escalation with ELVN-002 monotherapy for people with advanced stage solid tumors that have a HER2 mutation, amplification or high HER2 over-expression. Part 2 is an ELVN-002 monotherapy dose exploration where additional people may be enrolled at dose levels that have cleared the dose escalation in Part 1 to further evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity. Part 3 is a dose expansion of ELVN-002 monotherapy which will enroll up to 40 patients people with advanced stage HER2 mutant non-small cell lung cancer. Patients in Part 3 will be randomized 1:1 to receive one of two dose levels.


Part 4 is a combination dose escalation where, based on the results of Part 1 and 2, a combination of ELVN-002 and either fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki (in HER2 mutant non-small cell lung cancer) or trastuzumab emtansine (in HER2 positive breast cancer) will be evaluated for safety and tolerability.

 Phase 1a Monotherapy Dose Exploration


ELVN-002 will be administered either once or twice daily



A maximum of 60 patients will enroll in this arm. A maximum of 10 patients may be enrolled at a single dose or tumor type.


Experimental: Phase 1b Monotherapy Dose Expansion


ELVN-002 will be administered either once or twice daily. A maximum of 40 patients will enroll in this arm

Background: Oncolytic viruses are promising cancer immunotherapies but questions have been raised regarding their safety. Pelareorep (REOLYSIN, R), an unmodified Reovirus Dearing strain, selectively replicates and lyses cancer cells and induces anti-tumor immunity. To date, 900+ patients (pts) have been treated with intravenous (IV) pelareorep. In a phase 2 trial, its combination with paclitaxel improved overall survival (17.4m) vs paclitaxel (10.4m) in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) pts (HR 0.65, 80% CI 0.46-0.91, p = 0.1; Berstein et.al. AACR2017). A pooled analysis was thus conducted to better characterize pelareorep’s safety profile in combinations with paclitaxel.


Methods: 1417 patients have been enrolled in 36 trials: 934 patients received IV pelareorep and 359 were in control arms. Data from 8 trials with paclitaxel (P), paclitaxel + pelareorep (PR), carboplatin + paclitaxel (CP) or carboplatin + paclitaxel + pelareorep (CPR) were pooled. Standard doses of P (weekly) and CP were administered. Pelareorep IV dose was 3x1010 TCID50 (5-6 doses q21-28 d). Various advanced solid tumors were evaluated, including the 81 patients with MBC.


Conclusions: This is the largest database reported to date examining the safety of an IV viral agent. Pelareorep’s administration, in combination with paclitaxel or carboplatin-paclitaxel, is safe and well tolerated.
