SEATTLE, March 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oncothyreon Inc. (NASDAQ:ONTY), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of therapeutic products that can improve the lives and outcomes of patients with cancer, today provided a corporate update and reported financial results for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2015.
“2015 was a significant year for Oncothyreon, with the company reporting encouraging data from two combination trials of ONT-380 demonstrating that this product candidate may be impactful on HER2-positive breast cancer patients, including those with brain metastases – a patient population in desperate need of new treatment options,” said Christopher S. Henney, Chairman and interim CEO of Oncothyreon. “We believe our clinical results to date provided a strong foundation for us to advance ONT-380 into our recently initiated randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial in combination with Herceptin and Xeloda, which includes enrolling patients with progressing central nervous system disease.”
