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

[Noteable]

The 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. 

https://stockhouse.com/companies/bullboard?symbol=t.onc&threadid=35639972

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).

One of the things that makes pancreatic cancers so hard to treat is that the tumor cells create a dense web of proteins and noncancerous cells around them. This web, which is part of what is called the tumor microenvironment, helps the tumor cells grow and impairs the immune system’s ability to attack them. When a treatment is highly effective in killing tumor cells, “you usually trigger

Pelareorep's switching off KRAS G12D induces expression of the Fas pathway, reversing early tumor growth, increasing CD8+ T cell infiltration, decreasing myeloid infiltration,  the reprogramming of the tumor microenvironment in both early- and late-stage tumors and the elimination of established tumors upon the activation of CD8+ T cells. Combining various immune checkpoint inhibitors (i

It's unbelievable the attention MRTX gets from BP, analysts and all, and how little Oncy receives when we have so much going for us. Not that the following means much, but SWS has a fair value of $331 attributable to MRTX and Oncy $44. The investment world needs to wake up to Oncy.

Well foxy, then start telling the world, rather than complaining about it.

[fox7mf]

I'll wait for those responsible for business development to do so, who have thus far failed miserably endeavoring to create shareholder value. Are they capable? I'm not convinced.

Instead you'd rather complain, do I have that right? And if your not convinced, why are you then here, if not other than to be an annoyin Jack Russell.

Hey Note. In your studied opinion, would you be inclined to believe Oncy should get more or less or in the neighborhood of MRTX in a buyout? Just curious. Thx in advance.

October 2023 - " The data from [ONCY's Phase 2 Goblet study] show a correlation between the expansion of TIL-specific clones and tumor response, which provides compelling support for the use of pelareorep-based therapies in immunologically "cold" tumors. In particular, these data, along with the impressive clinical results, support the ability of pelareorep-checkpoint

The ELI-002 vaccine is being indicated early and following post surgical treatment of pancreatic or CRC, prior to advanced disease setting, and before onset of tumor immune resistance.

Very interesting that you mention Dr Sanjay Goel. Because of him I take a daily supplement of French grape seed extract.

Good info. Interesting that ONCY gets no recognition or coverage for their effectiveness in treating these difficult KRAS cancers. This has always been ONCY's problem, getting influential analysts to pay attention.
