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: FDA approval

RE: FDA approvalSo, making some simple assumptions that yield is doubled, and that the processing train is made up of 3 x 15 liter reactors, and that the turnaround time is 1 week, one can calculate that the new process can produce a minimum of (142 doses per liter x 2 x 15 liters x 3 reactors x 52 weeks) 664,560 doses annually (or 12,780 doses per week). Even at one weeks worth of production, that's a lot of product just for a few trials enrolling 30 - 50 patients each. It kind of makes you wonder what the plans are for the rest of it once upon a time there was a company called synsorb, with a president by the name of Brad Thompson, which built a $20M GMP certified plant with shareholder money to produce two drugs they were developing for ph II & III trials - PK & CD. hopefully BT has learned a lesson from that, but if he is telling shareholders that the FDA is holding approval up until they have sufficient manufacturing capacity, something doesn't add up. it seems the focus is being put on the wrong areas again and he is not being forthright with shareholders. the prosecution rests.
