Myelomodulatory treatments augment the therapeutic benefit of oncolytic viroimmunotherapy in murine models of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors. (PubMed, Front Immunol)
Myelomodulatory therapy with pexidartinib, a small molecule inhibitor of CSF1R tyrosine kinase, and the oncolytic herpes simplex virus T-VEC exhibited the most significant increase in median survival time in the highly immunogenic model. Additionally, targeting myeloid cells with the myelomodulatory therapy trabectedin, a small molecule activator of caspase-8 dependent apoptosis, augmented the survival benefit of T-VEC in a less immunogenic MPNST model...Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis following combination viroimmunotherapy revealed decreased M2 macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells and increased tumor-specific gp70+ CD8 T cells within the tumor microenvironment. In summary, our findings provide compelling evidence for the potential to leverage viroimmunotherapy with myeloid cell targeting against MPNST and warrant further investigation.

Biomarker screen for efficacy of oncolytic virotherapy in patient-derived pancreatic cancer cultures. (PubMed, EBioMedicine)
Considering the heterogeneity of PDAC and the complexity of biological therapies such as OVs, no single biomarker can explain the spectrum of response patterns. For selection of a particular OV, PDAC molecular subtype, ISG expression as well as activation of distinct signaling and metabolic pathways should be considered. Combination therapies can overcome resistance in specific constellations. Overall, oncolytic virotherapy is a viable treatment option for PDAC, which warrants further development. This study highlights the need for personalised treatment in OVT. By providing all primary data, this study provides a rich source and guidance for ongoing developments.

Cytokine-armed oncolytic herpes simplex viruses: a game-changer in cancer immunotherapy? (PubMed, J Immunother Cancer)
Talimogene laherparepvec is an oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 1 (oHSV), approved for the treatment of recurrent melanoma, and the virus encodes the human cytokine, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)...In this review, we highlight preliminary data with several cytokines and chemokines, including GM-CSF, interleukin 12, FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 ligand, tumor necrosis factor α, interleukin 2, interleukin 15, interleukin 18, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2, chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 5, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 4, or their combinations, and show how these payloads can further enhance the antitumor immunity of oHSV. A better understanding of cytokine delivery by oHSV can help improve clinical benefit from oncolytic virus immunotherapy in patients with cancer.

Multimodal Therapy Approaches for NUT Carcinoma by Dual Combination of Oncolytic Virus Talimogene Laherparepvec with Small Molecule Inhibitors. (PubMed, Viruses)
Interestingly, we found that the combination of T-VEC with SMIs resulted in both stronger and earlier reductions in the expression of c-Myc, a main driver of NC cell proliferation, when compared to T-VEC monotherapy. These results indicate the great potential of combinatorial therapies using oncolytic viruses and SMIs to control the highly aggressive behavior of NC cancers and probably will pave the way for innovative multimodal clinical studies in the near future.

Primary prophylaxis with mTOR inhibitor enhances T cell effector function and prevents heart transplant rejection during talimogene laherparepvec therapy of squamous cell carcinoma. (PubMed, Nat Commun)
In the first step, calcineurin inhibitor/ mycophenolic acid is replaced by the mTORi everolimus to achieve an improved effector T cell status with increased cytotoxic activity (perforin, granzyme), enhanced proliferation (Ki67) and upregulated activation markers (CD38, CD69). Notably, no histologic signs of allograft rejection are observed in consecutive end-myocardial biopsies. These findings provide valuable insights into the dynamics of T cell activation and differentiation and suggest that timely initiation of mTORi-based primary prophylaxis may provide a dual benefit of revitalizing T cell function while maintaining allograft tolerance.

Comparison of the oncolytic activity of a replication-competent and a replication-deficient herpes simplex virus 1. (PubMed, Immunology)
T-VEC was oncolytic for an extended period of time as viral replication continued, which could be partially blocked by the antiviral drug aciclovir. When markers of immunogenic cell death were assessed, ATP was released more efficiently in the context of T-VEC than HSV-1 d106S infection, whereas HMGB1 was induced comparatively well. Overall, the early oncolytic effect on three different tumour entities was stronger with the non-replicative strain, while the replication-competent virus elicited a stronger innate immune response and more pronounced immunogenic cell death.

Attenuated Replication-Competent Herpes Simplex Virus Expressing an ECM-Modifying Transgene Hyaluronan Synthase 2 of Naked Mole Rat in Oncolytic Gene Therapy. (PubMed, Microorganisms)
Since the approval of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) in 2015, HSV has been thoroughly researched to discover novel mechanisms to combat cancer and treat other diseases. Another HSV-based drug, beremagene geperpavec (B-VEC), received approval in 2023 to treat the rare genetic disease dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, and was also the first clinically approved HSV vector carrying an extracellular matrix (ECM)-modifying transgene...The viral replication, transgene expression and cytotoxic effect of the novel vector was studied in glioma cells. Our results show that an attenuated, replication-competent HSV vector expressing a foreign ECM-modifying transgene, namely HAS2, provides an effective tool to study and combat cancer in humans.

The efficacy and safety assessment of oncolytic virotherapies in the treatment of advanced melanoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (PubMed, Virol J)
Given the relative safety and tolerability of oncolytic viruses, and the lack of reports of dose-limiting-dependent toxicities, more patients treated with T-VEC with or without ICIs should be added to future assessment analyses. There is still a long way to go before it can be used as a first-line therapy for patients with advanced or unresectable melanoma.

The potential of swine pseudorabies virus attenuated vaccine for oncolytic therapy against malignant tumors. (PubMed, J Exp Clin Cancer Res)
PRV-LAV can infect cancer cells via NRP1/EGFR signaling and induce cancer cells apoptosis via ER stress. PRV-LAV treatment also restores CD8 T cell function against cancer. The combination of PRV-LAV and immune checkpoint inhibitors has a significant synergistic effect. Overall, these findings point to PRV-LAV as a serious potential candidate for the treatment of NRP1/EGFR pathway-associated tumors.

Multiple Administration Routes, Including Intramuscular Injection, of Oncolytic Tanapoxvirus Variants Significantly Regress Human Melanoma Xenografts in BALB/c Nude Mice Reconstituted with Splenocytes from Normal BALB/c Donors. (PubMed, Genes (Basel))
The Food and Drug Administration in the United States has approved one oncolytic herpes simplex virus expressing granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (Talimogene Laherparepvec) for the treatment of metastatic melanoma, and others could soon follow for this and other cancers...The results demonstrated that TPV/Δ66R/mIL-2 treatment IV or IM had significantly greater rates of tumor regression than RC-treated mice but failed to exert this effect when both routes were used simultaneously. Data obtained through these experiments support the continued development of Tanapoxvirus for the treatment of human melanoma and using immune reconstitution to create intact adaptive immunity in a xenograft context, which can allow other tropism-limited OVs to be studied against human cancers.

A Pilot Study of Neoadjuvant Nivolumab, Ipilimumab, and Intralesional Oncolytic Virotherapy for HER2-negative Breast Cancer. (PubMed, Cancer Res Commun)
Eligibility for this pilot phase I trial included patients with localized HER2-negative breast cancer who received systemic nivolumab and ipilimumab and intratumor talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC; NCT04185311). This triple immunotherapy regimen provided responses in patients with advanced or relapsed HER2-negative breast cancer, at the expense of long-term toxicities. Systemic immune checkpoint blockade with a programmed death receptor 1 and a CTL antigen-4 blocking antibody, combined with intralesional oncolytic virotherapy, is a chemotherapy-free combination aimed at inducing an antitumor immune response locally and systemic immunity.

MYELOMODULATORY TREATMENTS AUGMENT THE THERAPEUTIC BENEFIT OF ONCOLYTIC VIRUS IN MALIGNANT PERIPHERAL NERVE SHEATH TUMORS BY MODULATING THE TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT (CTOS 2023)
In two preclinical mouse models of MPNST, we combined the oncolytic virus T-VEC with myeloid-cell targeting therapeutics, Pexidartinib or Trabectedin, to assess the combination therapy's antitumor efficacy and survival benefits. Our findings provide compelling evidence that myelomodulatory therapies can augment the antitumor T-cell response and improve the therapeutic benefits of oncolytic virotherapy in murine models of MPNST. These results provide valuable insights for designing and implementing future immunotherapeutic strategies in the management of MPNST.
