Onco-Innovations Progresses Toward IND Preparation as Nucro-Technics Commences Bioanalysis for PNKP Inhibitor Technology
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / May 8, 2026 / Onco-Innovations Limited (CBOE CA:ONCO)(OTCQB:ONNVF)(Frankfurt:W1H, WKN:A3EKSZ) ("Onco" or the "Company") announces that Nucro-Technics Inc. ("Nucro-Technics"), a Toronto-based contract research organization collaborating with Onco on preclinical development, has commenced advanced bioanalytical work in support of the Company's ongoing non-GLP1 pharmacokinetic (PK) and biodistribution animal model study involving A83B4C63, the active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") for Onco's exclusively-licensed PNKP Inhibitor Technology (the "Technology"). The initiation of this work represents a significant step forward in translating the Technology from early-stage discovery into a development-ready therapeutic candidate.
Nucro-Technics has begun developing and executing specialized liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analytical methods2 required to measure the API within biological samples generated during the animal model study. These analytical tools will allow researchers to accurately assess how the compound behaves in vivo, supporting a deeper understanding of its exposure, distribution, and potential therapeutic relevance. Although highly technical, this work provides the essential measurement capabilities on which meaningful PK and biodistribution insights depend.
The start of this analytical phase marks a natural progression of Onco's preclinical program, enabling the Company to generate the datasets needed to refine dosing strategies, inform formulation work, and prepare for subsequent GLP-compliant studies. This stage builds upon earlier development efforts and strengthens the foundation of the Company's IND-enabling plan (see Company press release dated September 28, 2025).
"The initiation of this analytical phase gives us the capability to generate the data that truly drives decision-making in early drug development. It allows us to understand how our PNKP inhibitor behaves in vivo and ensures that each subsequent study is grounded in high-quality evidence. This is the type of foundational work that moves a program from concept toward a real clinical candidate," said Thomas O'Shaughnessy, CEO of Onco-Innovations.
Nucro-Technics will continue method development, perform non-GLP analyses, and deliver the corresponding reports in alignment with the study's operational timelines. This coordinated effort supports Onco's broader goal of advancing the Technology toward clinical evaluation and expanding the pipeline of next-generation DNA Damage Response Inhibitor (DDRi) therapies.
