    Sustained Investment in Research, Development

    Cancer remains one of the most devastating health challenges facing the globe today, responsible for about one in six deaths worldwide (https://ibn.fm/ZzZHC). The most common cancer types worldwide include lung cancer (accounting for around 2.2 million new cases and 1.8 million deaths in 2020), breast cancer (2.26 million new cases), colorectal cancer (1.93 million) and prostate cancer (1.41 million). In the United States, cancer claims more than 600,000 lives each year, with more than two million new cases expected in 2025 alone. These figures highlight both the scale of human suffering and the enormous burden cancer places on health systems around the world.

    These statistics underscore the importance of sustained investment in research and development. The global oncology drugs market was valued at approximately $190.1 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to more than $564.5 billion by 2033, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% over the forecast period (https://ibn.fm/EMpur). This rapid expansion highlights the critical role of sustained investment in research and development, which drives advancements in early detection, targeted therapies, immunotherapies and personalized medicine — key tools in reducing the overwhelming global cancer burden

    Advancing Precision Delivery of Genetic Medicines

    Calidi Biotherapeutics Inc (NYSE American: CLDI) has spent more than a decade developing a breakthrough technology platform that enables the systemic delivery of genetic medicines to targeted tumor sites, including metastatic sites in cancer patients. At the core of this innovation is the company's proprietary engineered viral system, which cloaks therapeutic payloads in a protective human cell membrane (the "envelope") designed to evade the immune system and reach distant metastases with precision where genetic medicines that can drive tumor clearance are expressed.

    Calidi's decade-long development journey, from stem cell-based delivery systems to the enveloped systemic virotherapies, has culminated in novel precision genetic delivery platforms with real therapeutic promise. The company's preclinical breakthroughs have been detailed in peer-reviewed conferences and investor communications, leading to upcoming IND filing goals and potential partnerships on the horizon. Calidi appears to be well positioned to pioneer a new era of targeted cancer treatment, where genetic payloads reach disease sites directly, immune activation is localized, and patients benefit from safer, more effective therapies.

    Understanding the Platform

    Calidi Biotherapeutics is clinical stage biotechnology company that is developing genetic medicines and proprietary genetically engineered oncolytic viruses. Calidi's RedTail systemic antitumor virotherapy platform is a novel tumor-selective vaccinia virus strain designed to target all tumor sites (https://ibn.fm/lTNMW). The platform is capable of producing a high amount of enveloped vaccinia viruses resistant to humoral immunity. The technology allows the therapy to reach tumor sites and kill tumors by expressing genetic medicines in the tumor microenvironment.

    According to the company, the lead candidate from the RedTail platform, CLD-401, targets lung cancer and other tumor types with high unmet medical need.

    Pioneering Systemic Cancer Targeting

    Calidi Biotherapeutics has taken a decisive step in the fight against advanced and hard-to-treat cancers with CLD-401, its first compound designed for systemic administration. This lead candidate harnesses the company's decade-long innovation in enveloped viral delivery to simultaneously destroy cancer cells and deliver genetic medicine aimed at preventing disease recurrence at metastatic sites. By enabling intravenous administration, CLD–401 ushers in a new era of precision oncology where genetic payloads reach tumors throughout the body, rather than relying on localized injections.

    Central to CLD–401's mechanism is the company's proprietary RedTail platform. CLD–401 is an enveloped oncolytic vaccinia virus engineered to express a chimeric CD55 receptor, significantly enhancing its resistance to immune clearance and enabling systemic circulation to metastatic tumors. Loaded with an IL–15 superagonist payload, the virus not only lyses tumor cells but also delivers powerful genetic material directly into the tumor. This cytokine-based genetic medicine activates CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells, effectively transforming "cold" tumors into immunologically "hot" targets. Preclinical data has confirmed the platform's potential.

    "Of particular excitement is the rapid progress we have made with RedTail, the company's approach to systemically delivering genetic medicines to metastatic sites in patients with advanced cancer using our proprietarily engineered enveloped virus," reported Calidi CEO Dr. Eric Poma in a recent shareholder letter (https://ibn.fm/JxyAG). "RedTail represents the culmination of over a decade of meticulous research and innovation at Calidi to create what we believe is the most advanced systemic virotherapy platform. Advancing this novel platform is the company's main focus and priority."

    Sharing Compelling Preclinical Data

    Calidi Biotherapeutics has unveiled compelling preclinical data at two of the most influential oncology conferences — the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) and the American Association of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) — highlighting the tumor-clearing and recurrence-blocking potential of CLD–401.

    At the AACR Annual Meeting, held in April 2025, Calidi presented key findings under the title "Development of a Systemic Enveloped Virotherapy for Targeting All Metastatic Sites" (https://ibn.fm/9N79P). The data revealed that RedTail's enveloped vaccinia virus, coated with a human-like extracellular envelope, can survive immune defenses, access multiple tumor sites following intravenous administration and induce strong tumor killing even in traditionally hard-to-treat metastatic lung models, by delivering genetic medicines such as IL-15 superagonist directly to the tumor. The abstract emphasized the platform's ability to evade complement activation, substantially improving systemic circulation time and therapeutic impact. 

    The momentum continued into the ASCO Annual Meeting in June 2025, where Calidi presented results demonstrating that CLD–401, enhanced with a chimeric CD55 receptor, further resists immune clearance and delivers its IL-15 superagonist payload directly into tumors (https://ibn.fm/njnqa). This immune payload triggered robust expansion of CD8+ T cells and natural killer cells in the tumor microenvironment, key players in sustained anti-tumor immunity.

    Collectively, these data sets presented at AACR and ASCO illustrate the dual potency of CLD–401: it both breaks down tumor tissue and educates the immune system to prevent relapse. The systemic reach of RedTail, along with its tumor-targeted immune stimulation, positions Calidi's platform as a significant advancement in the field of immuno-oncology, especially for metastatic cancers with high unmet needs.

    "Looking ahead, our roadmap for the next 18 months includes multiple critical milestones," said Poma. "We are working to complete IND-enabling studies ahead of an IND filing by the end of 2026 for our lead RedTail candidate that delivers IL-15 superagonist to tumor sites, CLD-401. Our clinical strategy includes an optimized dose-escalation study designed to swiftly demonstrate efficacy and validate the systemic administration of RedTail in patients with metastatic disease."

    With promising results in hand and strategic plans in place, Calidi is positioning itself to enter human trials that may redefine how genetic medicines reach and treat cancer throughout the body.

    Leading Biotech Firms Share Promising Advances

    The global effort to transform cancer care continues to accelerate as leading biopharmaceutical companies report groundbreaking clinical data across multiple tumor types. Industry leaders are showcasing the progress of novel immunotherapies and targeted treatments aimed at some of the most challenging cancers.

    Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) shared new and updated data from its oncology and hematology portfolio at the 2025 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting (https://ibn.fm/DRurB). According to the company, its 18 presentations will share the latest insights from ongoing research of approved and investigational treatment regimens across a range of difficult-to-treat cancers including non-melanoma and melanoma skin cancer, lung cancer, lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

    CG Oncology Inc. (NASDAQ:CGON), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing a potential backbone bladder-sparing therapeutic for patients with bladder cancer, presented key data at the 2025 American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting (https://ibn.fm/te6Op). The data was from the phase 3 BOND-003 Cohort C study of patients with high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) unresponsive to Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) treatment with carcinoma in situ (CIS) with or without Ta or T1 disease.

    Roche (OTCQX:RHHBY) is reporting positive results from its phase 3 IMforte study of Tecentriq(R) (atezolizumab) in combination with lurbinectedin (Zepzelca(R)) as a first-line maintenance treatment for people with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC), following induction therapy with carboplatin, etoposide and Tecentriq (https://ibn.fm/otxjy). The company noted that the data showed that this combination reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 46% and the risk of death by 27%, compared to Tecentriq maintenance therapy alone.

    Merck & Co. Inc. (NYSE:MRK) announced that its phase 3 KEYNOTE-B96 trial, also known as ENGOT-ov65, met its primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) for the treatment of patients with platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer whose tumors expressed PD-L1 and in all comers (https://ibn.fm/PAKLg). The study also met a secondary endpoint of overall survival (OS) in patients whose tumors express PD-L1. The study is evaluating KEYTRUDA(R) (pembrolizumab), Merck's anti-PD-1 therapy, in combination with chemotherapy (paclitaxel) with or without bevacizumab for these patients.  

    Together, these data presentations and reports underscore the power of innovation in oncology, where immunotherapy combinations, genetic medicine therapies and personalized treatment approaches are driving new standards of care. With each development, the cancer research community moves one step closer to achieving more durable responses, longer survival and, ultimately, potential cures.
