## [Oncolytics Biotech gets Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency notice, has until January 19, 2027](https://aibio.space/news/oncolytics-biotech-gets-nasdaq-minimum-bid-price-deficiency-notice-has/)

Nasdaq told Oncolytics its stock closed below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. The letter does not change the listing for now, but the company's annual report says its $5.2 million of cash cannot fund planned operations for 12 months, and that doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern is substantial.

## What Oncolytics Biotech does

Oncolytics Biotech Inc. is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing pelareorep, an intravenously delivered immunotherapeutic agent. Pelareorep is a proprietary isolate of reovirus that selectively replicates in RAS-mutated tumors and is described as activating innate and adaptive immune responses. The company says it is positioning pelareorep as a platform immunotherapy for gastrointestinal cancers, with the aim of advancing its GI programs to registration-enabled clinical studies. Combinations under study include chemotherapies, checkpoint inhibitors, CAR T therapies, bispecific antibodies, and RAS or CDK4/6 inhibitors. The company names metastatic colorectal cancer, second-line or later anal cancer, and metastatic pancreatic cancer as areas it is exploring for registrational programs. More than 1,600 patients have received at least one dose of study treatment with pelareorep in clinical studies. The company expects to pursue strategic alliances with larger companies for later development. The filing also states that there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

| Product or program | What it is | Stage |

| Pelareorep | Intravenous reovirus isolate for RAS-mutated and GI tumors | clinical-stage |
