Investment summary

OncoGenex has two promising antisense therapies in clinical trials, both with the potential to treat many cancers. Its lead product, custirsen, is in a pivotal Phase III trial, SYNERGY, in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC); this study should report data in Q413. Two other Phase III trials should start in 2012, one in non-small cell lung cancer and a second one in CRPC (this will replace the SATURN trial, which is being terminated). Custirsen is partnered with Teva and increased median overall survival by 41% to 23.8 months in a Phase II study in CRPC. Its second clinical drug OGX-427 demonstrated promising anti-tumour activity in a Phase II in CRPC and Phase I in bladder cancer and was well tolerated. It had net cash of $64m at FY11 and has just raised $54m in equity.

Industry outlook

There remains a significant unmet need for efficacious oncology products, in particular for those which do not impair a patient's quality of life. Both OncoGenex's products appear to be highly efficacious and have limited side effects.
