Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (Nasdaq:ONCY)
ONCY reported a poster presentation containing updated efficacy data from a Phase 2 study examining the use of its proprietary formulation of the human reovirus REOLYSIN(R), in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer with Kras or EGFR-activated tumors (REO 016) was made at International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer.
The poster presentation included new efficacy data that correlated a number of molecular abnormalities with best response, progression free survival and one-year survival.
This is the first time ONCY has reported data correlating the presence of specific biomarkers with efficacy, which covers both best response and survival in patient tumours with a Ras-activated pathway.
According to ONCY , although the study examined a relatively small number of patients, this data is encouraging, especially in light of a growing focus among healthcare professionals on personalizing cancer treatment based on tumour type.
Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2013, approximately 228,190 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed. Between 85% and 90% of all lung cancers are classified as non-small cell lung cancer; squamous cell carcinomas account for 25-30% of all lung cancers.
ONCY is a biotechnology company focused on the development of oncolytic viruses as potential cancer therapeutics.
