When rescheduled, the Special Meeting will include a vote on a proposed domestication that would change Oncolytics’ jurisdiction from the Province of Alberta, Canada to the State of Nevada, USA. The company intends to set a new meeting date as soon as practicable.
Oncolytics Biotech (Nasdaq: ONCY) announced FDA alignment on the Phase 3 pivotal study design for pelareorep in first-line metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC).
The trial will compare gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (GnP) alone versus GnP plus pelareorep, with an optional third arm adding a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI). The primary endpoint is overall survival; secondary endpoints include progression-free survival and objective response rate.
The study is statistically powered to show a clinically meaningful survival benefit, may include an interim analysis to support accelerated registration, and is planned to launch in the first half of 2026. The protocol permits flexible CPI selection; pelareorep has previously been combined with atezolizumab, pembrolizumab, nivolumab, and retifanlimab in gastrointestinal and other tumor types.
Oncolytics Biotech (Nasdaq: ONCY) announced formation of a Gastrointestinal Tumor Scientific Advisory Board to guide development of pelareorep for pancreatic, colorectal, and anal cancers.
Inaugural SAB members are Sanjay Goel, Deva Mahalingam, and Dirk Arnold, each with lead-investigator experience in pelareorep trials. The SAB will expand to six members and advise on registration-enabling study design and potential accelerated approval pathways.
Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) reported updated data from the GOBLET study SCAC cohort showing pelareorep plus atezolizumab achieved a 30% objective response rate (6/20 evaluable patients) in second-line or later squamous cell anal carcinoma versus a 13.8% historical benchmark. The median duration of response was 15.5 months versus 9.5 months for the current standard. Two complete responses were durable (one >2 years, one 15 months) and an additional response is ongoing at 64 weeks. The company plans FDA discussions on a single-arm accelerated approval study in Q1 2026 with study launch potential in H1 2026.

Oncolytics Biotech (NASDAQ: ONCY) announced updates for its planned registration-directed clinical trial in first-line pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The company will meet with the FDA in mid-November 2025 to discuss study details.
The proposed trial features a three-arm design evaluating: 1) Gemcitabine + nab-paclitaxel (GnP) control, 2) GnP + pelareorep, and 3) GnP + pelareorep + checkpoint inhibitor. The study's primary endpoint is Overall Survival, with planned interim analysis for early efficacy assessment.
Previous post-hoc analysis showed pelareorep plus chemotherapy achieved 22% two-year survival rate compared to 9% with chemotherapy alone. The company aims to establish pelareorep as the first approved immunotherapy in first-line pancreatic cancer.
