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.

RE: WAKE UP! FOLKS...

RE: WAKE UP! FOLKS...In addition to Matdu's points: - Reolysin tests in animals have indicated that the cancers away from the injection site are also attacked. Reolysin may therefore kill cancers that have spread without you even knowing it (which an operation can't do). - Everyone dreads the side effects of chemotherapy. Someone I know was wiped out every second week for 6 months, plus the hair loss, digestive problems, etc. (Just FYI not everyone has these side-effects. Someone else had no side-effects.) If reolysin has fewer or shorter effects than chemo, then people would gladly use reolysin instead. - Giving a shot of reolysin would be so much faster than waiting for months for a surgeon and operating room (in Canada). Plus any operation has risks (anesthetic reactions, missing some of the cancer, etc). The present methods of fighting cancer are crude and abhorrent, giving reolysin wide opportunities to take over as the preferable treatment (if it works, of course).
