Oncolytics Biotech announced positive long-term results from the ReoGlio phase 1b trial, demonstrating pelareorep's potential in treating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). A higher dose led to a median overall survival (mOS) of 50% at 24 months, with one patient alive at 42 months. The trial confirmed the treatment's favorable safety profile, supporting further studies. These findings suggest pelareorep may extend survival benefits beyond breast cancer to other challenging cancers. The results will be presented at the AACR Annual Meeting.

Notably, some patients achieved progression-free survival (PFS) exceeding three years despite prior treatment failures. This study illustrates pelareorep's ability to facilitate immune cell recruitment into the tumor microenvironment. The results increase understanding of pelareorep's mechanism and safety profile, paving the way for further clinical development in multiple cancers, including ongoing breast cancer trials.
Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) released a letter to shareholders detailing significant progress in its development pipeline during Q1 2022. The company remains on track to announce top-line data for its BRACELET-1 trial in Q4 2022, aimed at advanced HR+/HER2- breast cancer.

Oncolytics Biotech announced the successful completion of a three-patient safety run-in for the third-line metastatic colorectal cancer cohort in its phase 1/2 GOBLET study. An independent review identified no safety concerns, allowing the trial to proceed to full enrollment with regulatory clearance from Germany's Paul Ehrlich Institute. The study, in collaboration with Roche, evaluates the efficacy of pelareorep combined with atezolizumab in several gastrointestinal cancer cohorts, including pancreatic and anal cancers. Previous data show a 90% clinical benefit rate in KRAS-mutated mCRC patients.
Oncolytics Biotech has announced that its partner, Adlai Nortye, has reached the third and final dose escalation cohort in the Chinese bridging trial for pelareorep in combination with paclitaxel, aimed at advanced breast cancer. The first two cohorts showed good tolerability with no new safety signals.
