Cabozantinib (s)-Malate

USA News Group News Commentary Issued on behalf of Oncolytics Biotech Inc. VANCOUVER, BC, March 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the global cancer crisis intensifies, the demand for breakthrough treatments is reaching new heights. Statista data projects a 20% rise in annual cases by 2030 and a staggering 75% increase by 2050. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer cases are projected to rise by nearly 40% by 2050. Despite the concerning trends in cancer incidence, 2025 has seen key advancements from biotech companies at the forefront of oncology research, with Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), Exelixis, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXEL), Cardiff Oncology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRDF), ALX Oncology Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ALXO), and Verastem, Inc. (NASDAQ: VSTM) continuing to push the boundaries of cancer treatment. Continue Reading Pelareorep Facts (PRNewsfoto/USA News Group) The article continued: Within a new research report on the Global Oncology Market from Vision Research Reports, cancer therapies are projected to surpass US$903.81 billion by 2034, growing at a 10.9% CAGR along the way. The World Economic Forum is optimistic, recently touting 12 new breakthroughs in the fight against cancer. Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), a clinical-stage company focused on immunotherapy for cancer, has just released its Q4 and full-year 2024 financial results, providing investors with a clearer picture of its progress as it moves toward potential future FDA approvals for its lead drug, pelareorep, a promising immunotherapy designed to help the immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells more effectively. "With multiple clinical trials surpassing expectations in 2024, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for Oncolytics," said Wayne Pisano, Chair of Oncolytics' Board of Directors and Interim CEO. "Our top priority is HR+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer, in which two randomized trials involving over 100 patients have shown substantial clinical benefit for patients receiving pelareorep and paclitaxel compared to paclitaxel monotherapy. We believe that if we can approximate the benefit we saw in BRACELET-1 in our planned registrational study, the progression-free survival benefit alone would support an accelerated approval submission." The data mentioned by Pisano from BRACELET-1 showed that patients receiving pelareorep and paclitaxel lived longer and responded better to treatment compared to those receiving paclitaxel alone. Given the consistency of these results, Oncolytics believes that its upcoming registration-enabling trial could pave the way for an accelerated approval submission with the FDA. This is an important development, as HR+/HER2- breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed and treated breast cancers worldwide, representing a massive market opportunity for the company. Beyond breast cancer, Oncolytics is making significant progress in two other hard-to-treat cancers: pancreatic cancer and anal carcinoma. "When adding pancreatic and anal carcinoma to the list of addressable indications where we have generated compelling efficacy signals, pelareorep could have a meaningful impact for a multitude of patients," added Pisano. Oncolytics recently presented new data at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, showcasing pelareorep's potential to improve patient outcomes in these aggressive diseases. In anal cancer, results from the ongoing GOBLET study showed that 33% of patients responded to treatment when pelareorep was combined with atezolizumab, a checkpoint inhibitor. Notably, one patient experienced a complete response, with their cancer disappearing and staying undetectable for over 15 months. This level of response in such a difficult-to-treat cancer is highly encouraging, leading Oncolytics to expand the trial to enroll additional patients. Meanwhile, in pancreatic cancer, the company successfully cleared a critical safety review for its combination study using pelareorep with modified FOLFIRINOX with and without atezolizumab, allowing the trial to progress to the next phase. Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of any major cancer, and with few effective treatments available, pelareorep's continued success in this area could position Oncolytics as a key player in gastrointestinal oncology. From a financial standpoint, Oncolytics reported a cash position of $15.9 million at the end of 2024, giving it enough runway to continue executing on its clinical development strategy through the third quarter of 2025. While the company operates at a loss—as is typical for clinical-stage biotechs—it has been strategically managing its spending to ensure that key trials remain funded. Research and development expenses remained stable compared to the previous year, reflecting a disciplined financial approach that prioritizes high-impact studies. With several potentially transformative catalysts on the horizon, including the initiation of a registration-enabling study in breast cancer and new pancreatic cancer data expected later in the year, investors will be watching closely to see how Oncolytics navigates its next steps. The coming months will be crucial for Oncolytics as it pushes forward in its mission to bring pelareorep to market. With strong clinical results, growing regulatory support, and a well-managed cash position, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on its momentum. If its upcoming breast cancer study confirms the benefits seen in BRACELET-1, Oncolytics could find itself on a fast track to regulatory approval, potentially opening the door to a major commercial opportunity.

Approval based on results of Phase 3 CheckMate -9DW clinical trial demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival with Opdivo plus Yervoy compared to investigator’s choice of lenvatinib or sorafenib PRINCETON, NJ, USA I March 07, 2025 I Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) today announced that the European Commission (EC) has approved Opdivo ® (nivolumab) plus Yervoy ® (ipilimumab) for the first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). “The European Commission’s approval for Opdivo plus Yervoy adds to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the value of dual immunotherapy and represents an important new treatment option that may extend survival for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,” said Dana Walker, M.D., M.S.C.E., vice president, Opdivo global program lead, Bristol Myers Squibb. “This approval marks a critical milestone in our commitment to improving outcomes for patients with liver cancer. We look forward to bringing this new first-line treatment option to patients in the European Union.” The decision is based on results from the CheckMate -9DW study, which were presented at the 2024 American Society of Oncology (ASCO ® ) Annual Meeting , the 2024 European Society for Medical Oncology Congress and the 2025 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. Results showed that dual immunotherapy treatment with Opdivo plus Yervoy led to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival (OS), the clinical trial’s primary endpoint. In the trial, 85% of patients in the comparator arm were treated with lenvatinib and 15% were treated with sorafenib. The median OS was 23.7 months (95% CI: 18.8–29.4) for Opdivo plus Yervoy compared to 20.6 months (95% CI: 17.5–22.5) with the investigator’s choice of lenvatinib or sorafenib (HR: 0.79 (0.65–0.96); p=0.018). The OS benefit was observed across clinically relevant patient subgroups. The trial also showed an overall response rate (ORR) of 36.1% (95% CI: 31-41.5) compared to 13.2% (95% CI: 9.8-17.3; P<0.0001) of patients treated with lenvatinib or sorafenib and a deeper response with Opdivo plus Yervoy . The safety profile for the combination of Opdivo plus Yervoy remained consistent with previously reported data and was manageable with established protocols, with no new safety signals identified. This approval by the EC for Opdivo plus Yervoy for the first-line treatment of adult patients with unresectable or advanced HCC is valid in all 27 member states of the European Union (EU), as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. In addition to approval in HCC, Opdivo- based options are also approved for treatment of multiple tumor types in the EU. In August 2024, the U.S. FDA also accepted the Company’s supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Opdivo plus Yervoy as a potential first-line treatment option for adult patients with unresectable HCC and assigned a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) goal date of April 21, 2025. The combination of Opdivo plus Yervoy was granted accelerated approval as a second-line treatment for patients with advanced HCC by the U.S. FDA in 2020 based on results from the Phase 2 CheckMate -040 trial. Bristol Myers Squibb thanks the patients and investigators for their important contributions to the Phase 3 CheckMate -9DW clinical trial. About CheckMate -9DW CheckMate -9DW is a Phase 3 randomized, open-label clinical trial evaluating the combination of Opdivo plus Yervoy compared to investigator’s choice of lenvatinib or sorafenib monotherapy in adult patients with unresectable or advanced hepatocellular carcinoma who have not received prior systemic therapy. A total of 668 patients were randomized to receive Opdivo plus Yervoy ( Opdivo 1mg/kg plus Yervoy 3mg/kg Q3W for up to four doses, followed by Opdivo monotherapy 480mg Q4W) infusion, or single agent lenvatinib or sorafenib taken orally in the control arm. 85% of patients in the comparator arm were treated with lenvatinib and 15% were treated with sorafenib. The primary endpoint of the trial is overall survival (OS) and secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR) and time to symptom deterioration. The study was not designed to independently compare Opdivo plus Yervoy vs. lenvatinib or Opdivo plus Yervoy vs. sorafenib. About Hepatocellular Carcinoma Liver cancer is the third most frequent cause of cancer death worldwide. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer, accounting for 90% of global cases. HCC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage, where effective treatment options are limited and are usually associated with poor outcomes. Up to 70% of patients experience recurrence within five years, particularly those still considered to be at high risk after surgery or ablation. While most cases of HCC are caused by hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infections, metabolic syndrome and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis are rising in prevalence and expected to contribute to increased rates of HCC. About Opdivo Opdivo is a programmed death-1 (PD-1) immune checkpoint inhibitor that is designed to uniquely harness the body’s own immune system to help restore anti-tumor immune response. By harnessing the body’s own immune system to fight cancer, Opdivo has become an important treatment option across multiple cancers. Opdivo ’s leading global development program is based on Bristol Myers Squibb’s scientific expertise in the field of Immuno-Oncology and includes a broad range of clinical trials across all phases, including Phase 3, in a variety of tumor types. To date, the Opdivo clinical development program has treated more than 35,000 patients. The Opdivo trials have contributed to gaining a deeper understanding of the potential role of biomarkers in patient care, particularly regarding how patients may benefit from Opdivo across the continuum of PD-L1 expression. In July 2014, Opdivo was the first PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitor to receive regulatory approval anywhere in the world. Opdivo is currently approved in more than 65 countries, including the United States, the European Union, Japan and China. In October 2015, the Company’s Opdivo and Yervoy combination regimen was the first Immuno-Oncology combination to receive regulatory approval for the treatment of metastatic melanoma and is currently approved in more than 50 countries, including the United States and the European Union. About Yervoy Yervoy is a recombinant, human monoclonal antibody that binds to the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4). CTLA-4 is a negative regulator of T-cell activity. Yervoy binds to CTLA-4 and blocks the interaction of CTLA-4 with its ligands, CD80/CD86. Blockade of CTLA-4 has been shown to augment T-cell activation and proliferation, including the activation and proliferation of tumor infiltrating T-effector cells. Inhibition of CTLA-4 signaling can also reduce T-regulatory cell function, which may contribute to a general increase in T-cell responsiveness, including the anti-tumor immune response. On March 25, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Yervoy 3 mg/kg monotherapy for patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. Yervoy is approved for unresectable or metastatic melanoma in more than 50 countries. There is a broad, ongoing development program in place for Yervoy spanning multiple tumor types.
