Combination of novel oncolytic herpesvirus with paclitaxel as an efficient strategy for breast cancer therapy. (PubMed, J Med Virol)
The combination of PTX and VG161 is effective for repressing BC growth by inducing proinflammatory changes in the tumor microenvironment and reducing BC pulmonary metastasis. These data will provide a new strategy and valuable insight for oncolytic virus therapy applications in primary solid or metastatic BC tumors.

Pre-Existing HSV-1 Immunity Enhances Anticancer Efficacy of a Novel Immune-Stimulating Oncolytic Virus. (PubMed, Viruses)
Moreover, VG161 efficacy in HLA-matched CD34+ humanized intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models was also tested in multicycle treatment and was compared to standard chemotherapy for this type of cancer (gemcitabine). In conclusion, the anticancer efficacy of VG161 can be enhanced by pre-immunization with HSV-1 and multicycle administration when the virus is given intratumorally, indicating that pre-existing antiviral immunity might enhance OV-induced antitumor immunity. Our results suggest potential clinical benefits of HSV-1-based OV therapy in HSV-1-seropositive patients and multicycle administration of VG161 for long-term maintenance treatment.

VG161 activates systemic anti-tumor immunity in pancreatic cancer models as a novel oncolytic herpesvirus expressing multiple immunomodulatory transgenes. (PubMed, J Med Virol)
In conclusion, VG161 can systematically activate acquired and innate immunity in pancreatic models, as well as improve the tumor immune microenvironment, indicative of strong anti-tumor potential. The more robusting anti-tumor outcome for VG161 monotherapy or in combination with other therapies on pancreatic cancer is worth of being explored in further clinical trials.

Newly Developed Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Viruses Expressing Multiple Immunomodulatory Transgenes Effectively Target AML Cells (ASH 2021)
Moreover, PD-L1 expression was highly increased in AML patient cells when cultured with VG161 as compared to VG160 (2.7-fold) and this was further enhanced when co-cultured with VG161 and PBMC. Thus, we have demonstrated that newly developed oHSVs engineered with several immunomodulatory transgenes effectively target primitive AML cells, suggesting a potential treatment strategy for AML.

[VIRTUAL] Pre-existing HSV-1 Immunity enhances anti-cancer efficacy of a novel immune stimulating oncolytic virus - VG161 (AACR 2021)
When the tumor reached 100-150 mm3, animals were divided into 4 groups (10 mice/group): vehicle control, positive control (oxaliplatin 5 mg/kg and gemcitabine 100 mg/kg), and 2 groups treated with VG161 at high dose (7.75×106 PFU) or low dose (3.10×105 PFU). The median time for 3-fold increase of tumor size is 41.5 days (95%CI: 32-58) in the vehicle control, 74 days (95%CI: 51-undefined) in high dose group, and not reached in low dose group (p<0.01). Repeated treatment (2-3 cycles) increased the anti-cancer efficacy of VG161.The anti-cancer efficacy of VG161 can be enhanced by pre-immunization of HSV-1 or multicycle administration when the virus is given by IT, suggesting potential clinical benefits of HSV-1 based OV therapy in HSV sero-positive patients and multicycle administration of VG161 for long term maintenance treatment.
