Oncolytics Biotech Reports Pelareorep Plus Atezolizumab Triples Response Rate in Third-Line Anal Cancer Trial

Oncolytics Biotech Inc. announced updated clinical data from the GOBLET Cohort 4 study evaluating the combination of pelareorep and atezolizumab in patients with third-line metastatic squamous cell anal carcinoma (SCAC), a setting with no FDA-approved treatment options. The results, already presented, showed an objective response rate $(ORR)$ of approximately 29%, with two complete responses and two partial responses among 14 evaluable patients. The median duration of response (DOR) was approximately 17 months. These outcomes compare favorably to historical third-line SCAC studies, which report ORRs of around 10% or less. Oncolytics Biotech plans to meet with the FDA in Q1 2026 to discuss a potential registration strategy and the possibility of seeking accelerated approval for this indication.
