Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to its current report on Form 8-K filed on June 14, 2010 to correct the final voting results for the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2010 Annual Meeting”) of the Company held on June 8, 2010 in respect of the proposal to approve the amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to 25,000,000 (“Proposal No. 4”). The Company has been advised by a representative of Broadridge who served as the inspector of election for the 2010 Annual Meeting (the “Inspector of Election”) that the Final Report of the Inspector of Election that the Inspector of Election provided to the Company following the 2010 Annual Meeting setting forth the voting results for Proposal No. 4 was incorrect because it under reported the number of votes in favor of Proposal No. 4 and over reported the number of abstentions in respect of Proposal No. 4. The Inspector of Election has advised the Company that Proposal No. 4 passed by a higher margin than previously reported. The corrected voting results for Proposal No. 4 are as follows:
| Proposal: | For | Against | Abstain | Broker Non-Vote | ||||||||||||

Proposal No. 4 remains approved.
