  • Results from an open-label 74-subject study in Canada assessing the combination of Oncolytics Biotech's (OTCQX:ONCYF) REOLYSIN (reovirus variant) and the chemo agent paclitaxel compared to paclitaxel alone in patients with advanced/metastatic breast cancer showed a treatment benefit. Specifically, patients receiving the combination experienced an increase in median overall survival (OS) from 10.4 months to 17.4 months with a 35% reduction in risk (hazard ratio = 0.65). The data are being presented at the American Academy of Cancer Research Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.
  • Shares in the thinly traded nano cap firm have doubled since mid-February.
