About Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
Oncolytics is a biotechnology company developing pelareorep, an intravenously delivered immuno-oncolytic virus. The compound
induces selective tumor lysis and promotes an inflamed tumor phenotype - turning "cold" tumors "hot" - through innate and adaptive
immune responses to treat a variety of cancers. Pelareorep has demonstrated synergies with immune checkpoint inhibitors and may
also be synergistic with other approved immuno-oncology agents. Oncolytics is currently conducting and planning additional studies
in combination with checkpoint inhibitors and targeted therapies in solid and hematological malignancies, as it prepares for a
phase 3 registration study in metastatic breast cancer. For further information, please visit: www.oncolyticsbiotech.com.
