/R E P E A T -- Oncolytics Biotech Inc. Announces U.S. Phase 2 Combination Clinical Trial for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients with K-RAS or EGFR-Activated Tumours/
Date:9/2/2008

-RAS mutations.

"Previous preclinical data indicates that reovirus tends to localize in the lungs, and we have seen clinical responses in metastatic lung lesions with REOLYSIN(R) as a monotherapy or in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin," said Dr. Brad Thompson, President and CEO of Oncolytics. "A significant clinical opportunity for REOLYSIN(R) is in the treatment of patients with metastatic cancers including NSCLC who have a mutated K-RAS gene and are unlikely to respond to treatment with EGF receptor inhibitors."

About Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in men and women and is the leading cause of cancer death. More people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate cancers combined. During 2008, there will be about 215,020 new cases of lung cancer in the U.S., of which 85% to 90% will be NSCLC. Only about 15% of people diagnosed with lung cancer are still alive after five years. There is no single, first-line therapy approved for NSCLC in the U.S., but first-line combination treatments include avastin/paclitaxel/carboplatin, vinorelbin/cisplatin, gemcitabine/cisplatin, paclitaxel/cisplatin and docetaxel/cisplatin. Other therapies approved for second and third-line treatments are used as well. For more information about lung cancer, please go to http://www.cancer.org.
