      clinical studies.

      describe how the effects of obesity can be investigated during clinical medicinal product
      development.

      provide recommendations on when investigations of the effect of obesity on the PK of a

    • Absorption
      Reduced rate of absorption linked to locally reduced blood flow (8) is reported for the subcutaneous
      and transdermal routes in obese subjects.
    • Distribution
      The distribution of medicinal products is driven by body composition, regional blood flow and binding to
      tissue and plasma proteins.
    • Obese subjects have a larger absolute lean body weight (LBW) as well as fat mass.
    • The physicochemical properties of a medicinal product (lipophilicity, polarity, molecular size, and
      degree of ionization) influence its distribution in the body.
    • In BMI class III obese
      subjects, the blood flow per gram of fat is significantly lower than that observed in class I obese or
      lean subjects (4).

    • Fatty infiltrations are present in the liver for 90% of obese subjects, with the extent of the infiltrations
      being proportional to the degree of obesity.
    • In some cases, in particular for CYP3A4 metabolized medicinal products,
      bodyweight normalized clearance can be lower in obese patients (23).
    • Based on presently available data, it has been suggested that uptake transporters

(NASDAQ: ONCY) (TSX: ONC), a clinical-stage immunotherapeutics company focused on oncology, today announced the expansion of enrollment for the anal cancer cohort of the GOBLET study evaluating pelareorep in combination with atezolizumab (Tecentriq®) in patients with second-line or later unresectable squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal (SCCA). The study was expanded based on positive data from Stage 1 of the study, presented at the 2nd International Multidisciplinary Anal Cancer Conference (IMACC) in November 2023 (link to the PR, link to the poster).

Key Points: 
  • "These exciting clinical data, which exceed the Simon two-stage success criteria, provide strong support to expand the evaluation of pelareorep in patients with advanced anal cancer.
  • "We begin the Stage 2 expansion with substantial optimism for patients and the potential of pelareorep, especially considering the initial efficacy signal observed for pelareorep-based therapy in pancreatic cancer.
  • There is currently no established standard therapy for patients with anal carcinoma who have failed first-line treatment.
  • Pembrolizumab for previously treated advanced anal squamous cell carcinoma: results from the non-randomised, multicohort, multicentre, phase 2 KEYNOTE-158 study.
