Oncolytics Biotech® Reports First Quarter Financial Results and Highlights Clinical Momentum
American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) GI Symposium data underscores pelareorep's clinical benefit in anal and pancreatic cancers Pelareorep featured in Key Opinion Leader event on oncolytic immunotherapies in breast and pancreatic cancers Poster on pelareorep's stimulation of adaptive and innate immunity to be shared at ASCO Annual Meeting Conference call and webcast today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss Q1 results and clinical outlook SAN DIEGO, Calif. and CALGARY, AB, May 14, 2025 /CNW/ -- Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), a leading clinical-stage company specializing in immunotherapy for oncology, today reported on highlights and financial results for the first quarter of 2025. All dollar amounts are expressed in Canadian currency unless otherwise noted. "Pelareorep continues to build clinical momentum, delivering encouraging results in challenging cancer types and has the potential to extend and improve the lives of patients," said Wayne Pisano, Chair of Oncolytics' Board of Directors and Interim CEO. "We remain focused on optimizing the development pathway for pelareorep. Importantly, pelareorep has demonstrated a meaningful clinical benefit in two randomized phase 2 breast cancer studies, in multiple pancreatic cancer studies, and now in anal cancer as well. This versatility and broad potential applicability are achieved via intravenous administration and the ability to combine with chemotherapies and checkpoint inhibitors while maintaining a favorable safety profile." First Quarter and Subsequent Highlights Upcoming poster presentation at this year's ASCO Annual Meeting. The title of the poster that will be presented at the conference is: Role of pelareorep in activating anti-tumor immunity in PDAC and will share data exhibiting pelareorep's ability to elicit innate as well as adaptive immune responses in an extremely challenging indication (link to the PR). Two posters were presented at the 2025 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, one in anal carcinoma and one in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (link to the PR). Updated interim efficacy results from GOBLET Cohort 4 showed pelareorep combined with atezolizumab demonstrated an objective response rate of 33% in twelve evaluable patients with second-line or later unresectable squamous cell anal carcinoma, including a complete and durable response lasting over 15 months - an encouraging signal in this difficult-to-treat cancer (link to the poster). The response rates recorded continue to exceed historical control trials, and enrollment has been expanded to confirm the promising efficacy signal and potentially pave the way for a registration-enabling study. In GOBLET Cohort 5, patients with newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) were treated with pelareorep + modified FOLFIRINOX +/- atezolizumab. As required by the protocol, six patients completed the safety run-in and follow-up period. A review of safety data was completed by the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and the Paul Ehrlich Institute (PEI), Germany's medical regulatory body, and both groups recommended study continuation (link to the poster). This cohort is being funded by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (PanCAN) and, depending on the results, could expand the potential of pelareorep combination therapy in this indication. Key opinion leader event highlights oncolytic immunotherapies in breast and pancreatic cancers. In a webinar hosted by H.C. Wainwright, key opinion leaders Professor Martine Piccart, a co-founder of the Breast International Group (BIG) and member of the Belgian Royal Academy of Medicine, and Alexander Eggermont, Professor of Immunotherapy at Utrecht University Medical and Board Member of the Comprehensive Cancer Center Munich of the Technical University Munich and the Ludwig Maximilians University, discussed the need for new treatment options as well as pelareorep's ability to activate the immune system to identify and attack tumors (link to the PR). Share purchase agreement with institutional investor Alumni Capital LP supports ongoing clinical development. Oncolytics entered into a US$20 million share purchase agreement (SPA) providing a flexible source of funding, enabling the Company to progress towards key clinical milestones. Under the terms of the SPA, the Company, at its sole discretion, controls the timing and amount of all sales of common stock and does not entail any warrant coverage or other classes of shares (link to the PR). Financial Highlights As of March 31, 2025, the Company reported $15.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, projecting a cash runway through key milestones and through the third quarter of 2025. The net loss for the first quarter of 2025 was $6.7 million, compared to a net loss of $6.9 million for the first quarter of 2024. The basic and diluted loss per share was $0.08 in the first quarter of 2025, compared to a basic and diluted loss per share of $0.09 in the first quarter of 2024. Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $4.1 million, compared to $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower manufacturing and clinical trial expenses. This decrease was partially offset by higher personnel-related and share-based compensation expenses associated with CEO transition activities. General and administrative expenses for the first quarter of 2025 were $3.0 million, consistent with $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2024. Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $6.5 million, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease reflected lower net operating activities, partly offset by higher non-cash working capital changes. Anticipated Milestones Q2 2025: Pancreatic cancer translational data from Cohort 1 of the GOBLET study evaluating pelareorep, gemcitabine, nab-paclitaxel, and atezolizumab H1 2026: Initial efficacy results from Cohort 5 of the GOBLET study investigating pelareorep combined with modified FOLFIRINOX with or without atezolizumab in newly diagnosed metastatic pancreatic cancer Webcast and Conference Call Management will host a conference call for analysts and investors at 4:30 p.m. ET today, May 14, 2025.

Oncolytics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing pelareorep, an intravenously delivered immunotherapeutic agent. Pelareorep has demonstrated promising results in two randomized Phase 2 studies in metastatic breast cancer and Phase 1 and 2 studies in pancreatic cancer. It acts by inducing anti-cancer immune responses and promotes an inflamed tumor phenotype -- turning "cold" tumors "hot" -- through innate and adaptive immune responses to treat a variety of cancers. Pelareorep has demonstrated synergies with multiple approved oncology treatments. Oncolytics is currently conducting and planning combination clinical trials with pelareorep in solid malignancies as it advances towards registrational studies in metastatic breast cancer and pancreatic cancer, both of which have received Fast Track designation from the FDA.
