Oncolytics Biotech (ONCY) said Wednesday that translational data for its intravenously delivered immunotherapeutic agent, pelareorep, showed effectiveness of the therapy across multiple tumor types.
The data confirmed viral replication, interferon signaling, and a surge in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes after pelareorep treatment, the company said.
Oncolytics Biotech added that the data reinforces pelareorep's ability to convert immunologically "cold" tumors into "hot" phenotypes, paving the way for registration-enabling trials.
Shares were up 2.7% in recent early trading.
