Key Progress and Upcoming Studies for Pelareorep Breast and Pancreatic Cancer Treatments Announced in Preparation for FDA Accelerated Approval Path

“We’re excited by the recent BRACELET-1 results, which exceeded our expectations and substantiate the strong efficacy signal previously observed in breast cancer patients treated with pelareorep,” said Wayne Pisano, Interim CEO and Chair of Oncolytics’ Board of Directors. “Having treated well over 100 HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer patients in multiple clinical studies, these results provide the basis for a development path leading to an accelerated approval. The BRACELET-1 results, combined with recent feedback from the FDA, give us confidence in our development approach, and we look forward to initiating a clinical trial designed to support the approval of pelareorep as a novel breast cancer therapeutic.” Mr. Pisano continued, “The gastrointestinal cancer data also supports making pancreatic cancer a major priority for the company. To advance this development, we’ve established a collaboration with the Global Coalition for Adaptive Research (GCAR), and The Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) has provided us with the funding to further investigate pelareorep in pancreatic cancer through our GOBLET study. Having demonstrated pelareorep’s efficacy across multiple cancer indications and with important data readouts and future studies on the horizon, I’m looking forward to these next few years of Oncolytics’ growth and development.”
