CALGARY, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oncolytics Biotech Inc.

These indications are expected to include melanoma, pancreatic cancer, squamous cell lung, liver and K-RAS mutated colorectal cancers in combination with standard chemotherapeutics. This research program is in addition to Phase 2 trials in sarcoma and refractory head & neck cancers, sponsored by Oncolytics that are currently underway at this site.

"As an NCI-designated cancer center, we give a very high priority to approaches that are likely to significantly improve the prognosis of patients with malignant diseases," said Dr Giles, Deputy Director of the CTRC at UTHSCSA. "As Director of our Institute for Drug Development (IDD), I am pleased to specifically dedicate IDD resources toward the further rapid investigation of REOLYSIN(R), an agent which is proving itself in the clinic."

"We're excited that an institution of this caliber is investing in additional research opportunities for REOLYSIN(R)," said Dr. Karl Mettinger, Chief Medical Officer of Oncolytics. "This comprehensive research program will explore additional opportunities for REOLYSIN(R) in cancer treatment, while allowing the Company to focus its resources on developing its pivotal program."
