Tom Heineman, M.D., Ph.D., Oncolytics’ Chief Medical Officer, said, "We are enthusiastic about pelareorep’s applicability across multiple gastrointestinal cancer indications, including pancreatic and anal cancer. Pelareorep engages patients’ immune systems to help make commonly used chemotherapies and checkpoint inhibitors, such as atezolizumab, more effective in fighting cancer. This offers the promise of delaying disease progression and improving survival in patients with these devasting diseases. Given the versatility of pelareorep, we see multiple clinical and regulatory options for bringing this promising medicine to patients."
