    Gene therapy progress and prospects cancer: oncolytic viruses

    The past 2 years have seen several major advances in oncolytic virotherapy. Studies on the interaction between viruses, immune responses and tumor microenvironment have provided important insight, while clinic...

    Functional interactions of antiapoptotic proteins and tumor necrosis factor in the context of a replication-competent adenovirus

    Replication-selective oncolytic adenoviruses hold promise, but novel mechanisms must be identified to maximize intratumoral virus persistence, spread and therapeutic transgene-carrying capacity while maintaini...

    Oncolytic Virotherapy as a Novel Treatment Platform for Cancer

    New cancer treatments are needed. These agents must have novel mechanisms of action and thereby lack cross-resistance with currently available treatments. Viruses have evolved to infect, replicate in, and kill...

    Intra-arterial administration of a replication-selective adenovirus (dl1520) in patients with colorectal carcinoma metastatic to the liver: a phase I trial

    Both replication-incompetent and replication-selective adenoviruses are being developed for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. Concerns have been raised about the safety of intra-vascular adenovirus a...

    Intravenous infusion of a replication-selective adenovirus (ONYX-015) in cancer patients: safety, feasibility and biological activity

    Although genetically engineered adenoviruses hold promise for the treatment of cancer, clinical trial reports have utilized intratumoral injection to date. To determine the feasibility of intravenous delivery ...

    Safety and feasibility of injection with an E1B-55 kDa gene-deleted, replication-selective adenovirus (ONYX-015) into primary carcinomas of the pancreas: a phase I trial

    Novel therapies are needed for locally advanced pancreatic carcinoma. ONYX-015 (dl1520) is an E1B-55 kDa region-deleted adenovirus that selectively replicates in and lyses tumor cells with abnormalities in p53...

    Efficacy of a replication-selective adenovirus against ovarian carcinomatosis is dependent on tumor burden, viral replication and p53 status

    Intraperitoneal (i.p.) recurrence of cisplatin-refractory and p53 mutant ovarian cancer is a major clinical problem, despite surgery and chemotherapy. dl1520 (ONYX-015) is an E1B–55 kDa gene-deleted adenovirus...
