Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) reported positive results from its BRACELET-1 Phase 2 study evaluating pelareorep in HR+/HER2- advanced or metastatic breast cancer patients. Key findings include:
1. Median overall survival (OS) not reached in the pelareorep + paclitaxel arm, with over half of patients alive at study end.
2. Estimated median OS of at least 32 months for pelareorep + paclitaxel vs 18 months for paclitaxel alone.
3. Two-year survival rate of 64% for pelareorep + paclitaxel vs 33% for paclitaxel alone.
4. Median progression-free survival (PFS) of 12.1 months for pelareorep + paclitaxel vs 6.4 months for paclitaxel alone.
These results, along with the previous IND-213 study, support the potential of pelareorep-based combination therapy in advanced breast cancer. Oncolytics Biotech is now seeking funding for a registration-enabling study.

Oncolytics Biotech announced productive feedback from the U.S. FDA on its Type C meeting, supporting the planned potential registration-enabling trial for pelareorep in HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer (mBC). The FDA endorsed progression-free survival as the primary endpoint and overall survival as a key secondary endpoint. The study will include patients who have failed hormonal therapy and have received no more than one line of ADC therapy. This step builds on promising data from previous studies (BRACELET-1, IND-213, and AWARE-1) showcasing pelareorep's efficacy and immunotherapeutic action. Oncolytics is on track to report overall survival data from the BRACELET-1 trial in H2 2024, advancing their mission to offer better treatment options for breast cancer patients.
Oncolytics Biotech announced that Dr. Matt Coffey, President and CEO, will take a medical leave of absence effective immediately. Wayne Pisano, Chair of the Board, will assume the role of interim CEO during Dr. Coffey's absence. Despite this leadership change, Oncolytics remains optimistic about its ongoing clinical trials and strategic priorities.
The company highlighted its key developments, such as the expected overall survival data from the BRACELET-1 breast cancer study in H2 2024 and the advancement of their pelareorep combination therapy towards a registration-enabling study for pancreatic cancer.
Wayne Pisano, who has extensive experience in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, will lead the company during this transitional period. He has previously held significant positions, including President of VaxInnate and CEO of Sanofi Pasteur.
Oncolytics Biotech has dosed the first patient in the GOBLET study cohort, which assesses the combination of pelareorep and modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) with or without atezolizumab in newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients. The study, funded by a US$5 million grant from PanCAN’s Therapeutic Accelerator Award, aims to evaluate the objective response rate (ORR) and safety of this combination therapy. This collaboration involves AIO-Studien-gGmbH and is part of a larger Phase 1/2 multiple indication study for gastrointestinal cancers. The outcomes could potentially lead to the development of new pancreatic cancer treatment regimens.
Oncolytics Biotech presented two abstracts at the 2024 ASCO Annual Meeting that highlight the potential of pelareorep in treating metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and its immunotherapeutic mechanism of action.
The first abstract discusses a new cohort in the GOBLET study, which will test pelareorep combined with mFOLFIRINOX, with and without atezolizumab. This cohort is funded by a $5 million grant, expecting enrollment to start this quarter.
The second abstract highlights pelareorep's ability to induce tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) expansion, correlating with improved tumor response across multiple cancers, providing further support for its use as a backbone immunotherapy.
