Under the IND, the company plans to initiate a Phase 1/2 first-in-human, open-label clinical study later this year. The Phase 1 portion will assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of AVZO-103 as a single agent and in combination therapy in patients with advanced solid tumors.

"The clearance of our IND for AVZO-103 marks our third IND clearance this year, highlighting the productivity and dedication of our R&D team," said Mohammad Hirmand, M.D., Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Avenzo Therapeutics. "This bispecific ADC is designed to simultaneously target Nectin4 and TROP2 to potentially enhance tumor cell killing while sparing normal tissue. We look forward to studying its potential to address significant unmet needs for patients with cancers that co-express these targets, including urothelial cancer."

Olema Oncology Announces New Clinical Trial Agreement with Pfizer to Combine Palazestrant with Atirmociclib in ER+/HER2- Metastatic Breast Cancer

On September 2, 2025 Olema Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

"We are excited to assess this combination in the clinic as we seek to establish palazestrant as a potential backbone endocrine therapy for metastatic breast cancer," said Sean P. Bohen, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Olema Oncology. "Based on the promising profiles of palazestrant and atirmociclib to date, we look forward to evaluating the potential of this novel combination and, if successful, advancing to a pivotal trial in the frontline setting. With OPERA-01, our first pivotal study of palazestrant, underway and our OPERA-02 ribociclib combination trial in frontline metastatic breast cancer anticipated to initiate this quarter, we remain focused on achieving our goal of transforming the metastatic breast cancer treatment paradigm."

Under the terms of the agreement, Pfizer will supply atirmociclib for use in the Phase 1b/2 study and Olema will lead the conduct of the study. All clinical data and inventions relating to the combined use of atirmociclib and palazestrant resulting from the study will be jointly owned, with Olema maintaining full global commercial and marketing rights to palazestrant.

This announcement represents Olema’s second clinical trial agreement with Pfizer. The companies’ previous agreement was established in November 2020 to evaluate palazestrant in combination with palbociclib (IBRANCE) in patients with recurrent, locally advanced or metastatic ER+/HER2- breast cancer.

Oncolytics Biotech® Provides Updated Clinical Safety Data for Pelareorep, Including Across Multiple Gastrointestinal Tumors

On September 2, 2025 Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (Nasdaq: ONCY) ("Oncolytics" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage immunotherapy company developing pelareorep, reported an updated safety analysis of pelareorep, which has been administered in over 1,200 patients, including over 300 patients with various gastrointestinal tumors (Press release, Oncolytics Biotech, SEP 2, 2025, View Source [SID1234655654]).

A previous analysis of safety data from studies involving pelareorep (link to the poster) in combination with multiple therapies in over 500 patients concluded that the most frequent adverse events were Grade 1 and 2 fever, chills, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Additionally, Grade 3 or 4 adverse events associated with chemotherapy do not appear to be modified by adding pelareorep to the treatment regimen. An updated analysis involving patients who received at least one intravenous dose of pelareorep demonstrates the existing favorable safety profile of pelareorep in combination with numerous treatment regimens across multiple tumor types.

"With over 1,200 patients dosed and a consistent safety profile, pelareorep represents one of the most de-risked immunotherapies that is not already approved as a treatment option in gastrointestinal tumors," said Jared Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of Oncolytics. "As we move forward to registration-enabled studies, we are confident the safety data will be a positive characteristic for regulators and potential partners."

To date, over 300 gastrointestinal cancer patients across 8 clinical studies have received pelareorep. It has been evaluated in combination with new treatment regimens like modified FOLFIRINOX in metastatic pancreatic cancer and in other tumor types, including colorectal cancer and anal cancer. The most common adverse events associated with pelareorep in patients with gastrointestinal tumors are flu-like symptoms and neutropenia.
