Novel biomarkers for oncolytic virotherapy (Poster Area) - Jun 28, 2022 - Abstract #EACR2022EACR_262; The cultures were screened for sensitivity towards 5 OVs from different virus families currently investigated in clinical trials (measles virus, parvovirus, reovirus, adenovirus and the EMA-approved OV talimogene laherparepvec)...Conclusion Our findings illustrate the sensitivity spectrum of primary PDAC cultures towards OVs and thus underline the need for pre-therapeutic patient stratification. To this end, our project delivers a broad, descriptive, and comparative gene expression profiling data set, which provides a rich source of biomarker candidates warranting future validation.

However, question marks and difficulties remain; these include the identification of predictive biomarkers to select patients who benefit from the addition of PD1-blockade and the balance between efficacy and long-term toxicity for an individual patient. Numerous treatment combinations and new immunotherapeutic strategies beyond PD1 blockade are being evaluated, thus reflecting a promising evolution of a more personalized approach, and extended clinical benefit in TNBC.

(Pubmed Central) - Apr 2, 2022 Where intraarterial perfusion based therapies have been shown to successfully treat extremity disease, injectable therapies can be used in lesions of the head and neck. Although systemic therapies for in-transit melanoma have limited specific data to support their primary use for in-transit disease, there are patients who may not be eligible for any of the other options, and current clinical trials are exploring the use of concurrent and sequential use of regional and systemic therapies with early results suggesting a synergistic benefit for oncologic response and outcomes.

Journal, Oncolytic virus, IO biomarker: Oncolytic virotherapy as promising immunotherapy against cancer: mechanisms of resistance to oncolytic viruses. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 1, 2022 Although the history of using viruses goes back to the early 20th century, the approval of talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) in 2015 increased interest in oncolytic viruses (OVs)...Furthermore, the localization of receptors of viruses in the tight junctions, interferon responses, and the aberrant expression of genes involved in the cell cycle of the virus, including their infection and replication, reduce the efficacy of OVs. In this review, we present different mechanisms of resistance to OVs and strategies to overcome them.
