Insights
Pelareorep shows favorable safety profile across 1,200+ patients; positions company well for registration studies in GI cancers.
Oncolytics Biotech's updated safety analysis for pelareorep represents a meaningful development in their clinical program. The data now encompasses over 1,200 patients, including 300+ with gastrointestinal tumors across 8 clinical studies - a substantial patient population that strengthens the statistical reliability of their safety findings.
The safety profile remains consistent with previous analyses, with most adverse events being Grade 1-2 fever, chills, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Critically, pelareorep doesn't appear to exacerbate Grade 3-4 chemotherapy-related adverse events when used in combination treatments - a significant advantage for an oncology agent. For GI cancer patients specifically, the most common adverse events were flu-like symptoms and neutropenia.
This expanded safety database positions pelareorep as one of the more de-risked immunotherapies in the GI cancer space from a tolerability perspective. The consistent safety profile across multiple tumor types and in combination with various treatment regimens (including modified FOLFIRINOX for pancreatic cancer) suggests pelareorep has versatility as a potential platform therapy.
The announcement of progression toward registration-enabled studies signals confidence in both the safety and efficacy profiles, though specific efficacy data wasn't detailed in this release. For an intravenously administered immunotherapy, maintaining a favorable safety profile across such a diverse patient population represents a meaningful achievement in development and reduces a key risk factor as the company advances toward regulatory submissions.
Data continue to demonstrate a favorable safety profile for pelareorep across multiple indications and in combination with multiple treatments
Updated clinical data now account for over 300 gastrointestinal cancer patients, including patients from the GOBLET study, demonstrating pelareorep's potential as a platform therapy
Intravenously administered pelareorep continues to show clinical benefit
A previous analysis of safety data from studies involving pelareorep () in combination with multiple therapies in over 500 patients concluded that the most frequent adverse events were Grade 1 and 2 fever, chills, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Additionally, Grade 3 or 4 adverse events associated with chemotherapy do not appear to be modified by adding pelareorep to the treatment regimen. An updated analysis involving patients who received at least one intravenous dose of pelareorep demonstrates the existing favorable safety profile of pelareorep in combination with numerous treatment regimens across multiple tumor types.
"With over 1,200 patients dosed and a consistent safety profile, pelareorep represents one of the most de-risked immunotherapies that is not already approved as a treatment option in gastrointestinal tumors," said Jared Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of Oncolytics. "As we move forward to registration-enabled studies, we are confident the safety data will be a positive characteristic for regulators and potential partners."
To date, over 300 gastrointestinal cancer patients across 8 clinical studies have received pelareorep. It has been evaluated in combination with new treatment regimens like modified FOLFIRINOX in metastatic pancreatic cancer and in other tumor types, including colorectal cancer and anal cancer. The most common adverse events associated with pelareorep in patients with gastrointestinal tumors are flu-like symptoms and neutropenia.
About Oncolytics Biotech Inc.
Oncolytics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing pelareorep, an intravenously delivered double-stranded RNA immunotherapeutic agent. Pelareorep has demonstrated promising results in multiple first-line pancreatic cancer studies, two randomized Phase 2 studies in metastatic breast cancer, and early-phase studies in anal and colorectal cancer. It induces anti-cancer immune responses by converting immunologically "cold"tumors "hot"through the activation of innate and adaptive immune responses.
The Company is advancing pelareorep in combination with chemotherapy and/or checkpoint inhibitors in metastatic pancreatic and breast cancers, both of which have received Fast Track designation from the FDA, and other gastrointestinal tumors. Oncolytics is actively pursuing strategic partnerships to accelerate development and maximize commercial impact.
