Today’s presentation contains certain forward looking statements relating to the company’s financial results, business prospects and the development and commercialization of REOLYSIN®, a therapeutic reovirus. These statements are based on

management’s current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of factorswhich involve known and unknown risks, delays, uncertainties and other factors not under the company’s control which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the

company to be materially different from the results, performance or other expectations implied by these forward looking statements. In any forward looking statement in which

Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. expresses an expectation or belief as to future results, such expectations or beliefs are expressed in good faith and are believed to have a reasonable

basis, but there can be no assurance that the statement or expectation or belief will be achieved. These factors include results of current or pending clinical trials, risks associated

with intellectual property protection, financial projections, market projections, actions by the FDA/HPB/MHRA and those other factors detailed in the company’s filings with SEDAR

Summary

REOLYSIN - A Broadly Active Novel Cancer Therapy

Focused Clinical Program

• lead product is REOLYSIN®

• SPA agreed with the FDA for first pivotal program –Phase III REOLYSIN and paclitaxel/carboplatin in platinum-refractory head and neck cancer patients

• this drug platform expanding to include NSCLC, melanoma and squamous cell lung cancer

Growing Intellectual Property Portfolio

• broad patent coverage in US, Europe and Canada

Manufacturing at Commercial Scale

• 100L cGMP completed

Page 4: Reolysin

Mode of Action

• REOLYSIN is a proprietary isolate of the reovirus, a replication competent virus

• asymptomatic in humans (does not cause disease)

• replicates in Ras-activated cancers

• at least 2/3 of carcinomas and more than 90% of metastatic disease has Ras involvement

• at least 5M new patients per year are predicted to develop cancers with Ras involvement

Pivotal (Phase III) Program for REOLYSIN

• Phase III trial examining REOLYSIN in combination with paclitaxel/carboplatin in patients with platinum-refractory head and neck cancers

• randomized, two-arm, double-blind, multicentre, two-stage, adaptive trial

• first company to have an intravenously administered oncolytic virus approved under the SPA program

• primary endpoint: overall survivalsecondary endpoint: progression-free survivalpharmacodynamic endpoints: tumour Ras pathway status andHPV status

• two-stage Phase III trial

- 80 patients in first stage

- adaptive design in second stage allows for detection of a range of increases in overall survival by enrolling from 100 to 400 patients, with the most probable being ~200

REOLYSIN clinical overview – Phase I/II Combination Program

Phase I/II Drug Combination Program (UK)

carboplatin/paclitaxel/REOLYSIN• REOLYSIN, d1-5, iv carboplatin (AUC5), d1, and paclitaxel (175mg/m2), d1,

qw3. REOLYSIN was administered at a starting dose of 3x109 TCID50 and then increased to 1x1010 and 3x1010 TCID50 in cohorts of 3 patients

• there were no DLTs in the dose escalation. Toxicities were mainly grade 1 and 2 and included: nausea, fatigue, vomiting, myalgia, fever, neutropenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia and hypotension

• this combination resulted in a blunting of antiviral immune response as compared to monotherapy virus

• response rates in 19 evaluable patients were partial response (PR) (5 pts), stable disease (SD) (8 pts) and progressive disease (PD) (6 pts). Of note, all PRs and 4/8 SDs were in H&N disease

• a total disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) of 68% was achieved to date

• positive results in head and neck disease led to the filing of two single arm Phase II studies in refractory head and neck disease (US & UK)

Page 14: Reolysin

Phase II NSCLC and Kras/EGFR

U.S. Phase II

• for NSCLC prescreened for Kras and EGFR mutation status

• 15 to 20% of NSCLC is Kras mutated and up to 50% is EGFR mutated or over expressed

• first line therapy study i.e. patients will be offered REOLYSIN/paclitaxel/carboplatin instead of standard of care if they are Kras or EGFR mutated or EGFR over expressed, all of which cause Ras pathway activation

• current standard of care includes EGFR inhibitors which have been shown to be ineffective in Kras mutated patients

Page 15: Reolysin

Colorectal Cancer and Kras

• current standard of care for second-line patients also includes EGFR inhibitors

• 45% of second-line colorectal patients have Kras mutations

• preclinical work completed using reovirus in combination with irinotecan

Increasing Vascular Efflux Through Manipulation of VEGF Signalling

B-16 Melanoma Mouse Model

• transient destabilization and permeabilization of tumor vasculature enhances localization of circulating REOLYSIN

• therapy is associated with increased vascular permeability to circulating virus and increased virus recovery from tumors

Sunitinib

Avastin

Page 17: Reolysin

Safety

• >285 patients treated, >200 intravenously at doses up to 3x1010

TCID50 daily

• no maximum tolerated dose (MTD) reached to date

• toxicities have been generally mild (grade 1 or 2) and included chills, fever, headache, cough, myalgia, runny nose, sore throat and fatigue, and grade 1 or 2 lymphopenia and neutropenia. Transient grade 3 and 4 toxicities included lymphopenia and neutropenia. These symptoms were more frequently observed from day 2 of treatment and usually lasted less than 6 hours
