Oncolytics Biotech Inc

Oncolytics Biotech Inc

Oncolytics Biotech Inc (ONCY) is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing pelareorep (also known as REOLYSIN), a reovirus-based oncolytic immunotherapy intended to selectively infect and kill tumour cells and stimulate anti-tumour immune responses. The company is focused on combination studies pairing pelareorep with chemotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors and other agents across multiple solid tumour indications. With a market capitalisation around $108.12M, Oncolytics is a small-cap, research-driven business with typical biotech dynamics: value is largely tied to clinical trial readouts, regulatory progress and partnerships. Investors should expect high volatility, potential dilution from financing, and long development timelines. While the mechanism has scientific rationale and some encouraging early data, outcomes are uncertain.
