Oncoltytics Biotech is having a live webcast tomorrow morning relative to it Reolysin Cancer treatment. Pfizer has already obtained the worldwide rights for vetrinary use, so Pfizer shareholders may be interested in listening.

Oncolytics is a Calgary-based biotechnology company focused on the development of the reovirus known as REOLYSIN® as a potential cancer therapeutic. This reovirus infects and kills cancer cells with an activated Ras pathway. Ras is an important component of a pathway controlling normal growth and differentiation of a cell, and when activated, may account for a large proportion of all human tumors. Researchers believe that targeting this pathway could have broad potential in the treatment of many cancers. Oncolytics researchers demonstrated that the reovirus was selectively able to kill cancer cells with this particular activation and successfully demonstrated that the virus could kill human cancer cells in vitro derived from breast, prostate, pancreatic and brain tumors, as well as being able to treat tumors successfully in a number of animal models. Oncolytics initiated its Phase I clinical trial on REOLYSIN® in June 2000 and in November 2000, the company entered into a worldwide licensing agreement with Pfizer Inc. for the development and marketing of the reovirus for animal use
